Creating autostart queues - %SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV

bsommer — Thu, 26 Jun 2003 15:03:11 GMT

OS: OpenVMS 7.3-1
I'm trying to create an autostart print queue on an LTA device. I can create the queue fine using the "/ON=LTA26:" qualifier, but when I try to init it with
"/AUTOSTART_ON=(ABCB::LTA26:,ABCA::LTA26:)"
and ENABLE/AUTOSTART/QUEUE
I get "%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available".
When I do a SHOW QUEUE/FULL, I get:
Terminal queue CRDPRT, stopped, autostart inactive, on ABCB::, /AUTOSTART_ON=(ABCB::LTA26,ABCA::LTA26)

Correction:
I do "ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUE"

I've been meaning to get these faulty fingers replaced...

Do you have LAT already started when the error
occurs during the startup?

Yes, LAT is started. I can create the queue fine if I just use the "/on=" qualifier. I can create the queue with that method on either node.

Did you add /start when you created the queue?

There is a patch kit that may fix this problem.
Have you tried VMS731_QMAN-V0100?

It fixed a similar problem that I had with telnetsym queues.

You may find that if you create the LTA before hand, all will work ok. It looks like the AUTOSTART_ON is initializing the queue on node ABCD but does not recognise the LTA.
This error comes up when a queue is started but the LTA does not exist.

Hi
are you sure LAT port is created on starting que?
In SYSTARTUP_VMS, usually, ENABLE AUTOSTART is before LAT$STARTUP, so when queue start LAT port is not yet create by LATCP.
