Decnet Phave IV over CROSSOVER Network Connection
I have two ES40 server running OpenVMS 7.3-1, It has two NICs, TCPIP is configured on one interface EWA0 and connected through the Switch. The second interfaces of both the servers are connect using a crossover network cable.
Is connecting two server using crossover network connection supported config fot Decnet PHASE IV to work ?

Re: Decnet Phave IV over CROSSOVER Network Connection
Several things:
- DECnet Phase IV End Node can only use one circuit at a time
- Identify which circuit is which. Zero all of the counters (using the appropriate commands in the appropriate utilities).
- SCA traffic appears to be using both circuits (or has in the past made use of both). The previous step of zeroing the counters will identify what is actually active now.
- A reversed cable is never the issue. It looks electrically the same as being plugged into a 10/100BaseT hub/switch
You will need to check carefully, as each of the two machines may be configured slightly differently (hardware and/or software).

Re: Decnet Phave IV over CROSSOVER Network Connection
We have an application running which updates the data on primary node and same data is replicated to the secondary node over the decnet and user has complaint that data is not in sync on both the nodes there have been delay of couple of minutes have been obsevered. can this configuration caused this delay? If I change the NCP circuit state off does it impact the online operations. and is it going to help improving the data sysnc issue between the two networks ?
I have a VMS node configured as DECnet phase IV routing node in the Network. so If I plug second interface of both the Servers to the Switch, I think decnet would start using both the interfaces isn't it ?

Re: Decnet Phave IV over CROSSOVER Network Connection
No other protocols should be running on this connection, so you should turn off the EWA-1 DECnet circuit. It isn't being used anyway.
Regarding your 'replication problem', you did not provide enough information to even guess what may be wrong.
Does DECnet work reliably between the 2 nodes ?

Re: Decnet Phave IV over CROSSOVER Network Connection
It would also cause problems on your network, as both LAN interfaces (EWA and EWB) will then have the SAME MAC address, when the second DECnet LINE (EWA-1) will be started and both EWA-0 and EWA-1 are connected to the same network segment.

Re: Decnet Phave IV over CROSSOVER Network Connection
One way to test DECnet between those 2 systems would be to run DTSEND tests, monitor the performance and watch for response timeouts in the node counters, these would indicate lost packets:
MC NCP SHOW NODE
Retry these DTSEND tests after turning off the EWA-1 DECnet circuit and see whether the performance is the same or different.
How does the replication work ? Over an existing logical link between applications on both nodes ? Or establishing a new link for every replication ?
