An illegal operator request was made

[Dolezel Vaclav]

Hello.

I have a cluster with 3 nodes. On first node command REPLY/ENABLE is making this result "An illegal operator request was made". On the other nodes is working normally. I cannot find the problem. Please help. Thanks in advance.

Vaclav,

Mostly this error is issued when the requestor does NOT have OPER priv active.

Could it be that on the first not you NOT have it, while on the others you DO?

Hi vaclav,

Generally these errors are coming when you have already enable the opcom.

first try with reply/disable and then try reply/enable.

Doelzel,

Please show the output from SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGE on the node generating the error message.

It is possible that while the account is authorized for OPER, it is not enabled by default.

Vaclav,

if you really have the OPER priv active, then matbe the OPCOM process is not running?

$ SHOW SYSTEM/PROC=OPCOM

If not, then as user SYSTEM (batch job?) execute

$ @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP OPCOM

Proost.

REPLY/LOG have same result.

[Dolezel Vaclav]

OPCOM process is running under SYSTEM account.
