Changing the number of votes for the quorum disk

If you are wanting to use AMDS to remotely make changes , you must first configure the AMDS client to allow you to write changes to the system. This was something that we discovered after we had our AMDS server installed for about a month. We needed to kill some processes on a system that had exceded BALSETCOUNT. No luck, we had to halt the system. After talking to our TAMS, it was discovered that the default configuration file on the client install would not allow for changes to be made. The default AMDS install only allows you to monitor the system, not to make changes. We had to modify the AMDS config file before we where able to make remote changes.

you have to allow the AMDS console Write access to be able to apply fixes. Definately some that should be done on all VMS systems I think. It can be without reboot. Edit AMDS$CONSOLE_ACCESS.DAT and define a triplet with W access. The system from which you fixe things should have a matching triplet. You don't really want to keep the example entry.
