MSA1000 and DS20E problem

Bruno Fraga — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 19:20:15 GMT

Hello,

I have 2 DS20E connected to a MSA1000. They are sharing 4 volumes in the MSA1000, all valumes are avaiable in all DS20E, everybody can see everything in the array.
I can see all the files, but when i try to copy a file from one volume to another i can't access the new created file from the other machine, i can see the file, but i can delete it or make a dir/full in it.
Can anyone help me?

Did you configure an OpenVMS cluster?
Without clustering software, this DOES NOT work reliable -
you do corrupt your file systems!!

No...the computers are not in a VMSCluster.

Is there another way to do this without cluster?

Use a network protocol (DECnet, TCP/IP) to transfer files between the servers.

I tryed to use both...i tryed to transfer using FTP and copy with decnet, both of then give me the same error.
I think that the problem may be in the mount command os the disks, but i have tried all options that i know.
