Re: Decserver 700 Crashes VMS Systems?
It is very interesting that terminal server crashes VMS host. I would like to see ANALYZE/CRASH_DUMP to see what really crashed systems. How to check that bad terminal server does not broadcast garbage back to your systems? You can use TCPTRACE utility. But I would do the following: I would use a hub (repeater, not switch)) and connect terminal server and Linux host (laptop) to it. Hub should be connected to existing network switch. Then you watch the traffic using tcpdump from Linux. This is the wayhow I fixed problem with printer server.

Re: Decserver 700 Crashes VMS Systems?
let me try to first clarify the VMS crash aspect of your question: did the VMS nodes really crash (and write a crash dump) or did they just stop responding and were left at the console prompt (>>>).
If crashdumps have been written, you should find crash errlog entries and - even better - also CLUE files with the crash footprint (on Alpha: CLUE$COLLECT:CLUE$node_ddmmyy_hhmm.LIS, on VAX: CLUE$OUTPUT:CLUE$LAST_node.LIS). We could then try to work out from the crash information, what has happenend.
If the VMS nodes were forced to the console prompt (>>>), most probably by receiving a

Re: Decserver 700 Crashes VMS Systems?
The 14.17 FAQ matches my situation. If I do disable the BREAK, how can I remotely halt my systems if need be? Would the only way be to press a button?
Of course, choosing a "surprise" halt over the times when I need to "force" a halt, I would rather disable the surprise halt and worry about how to get to the systems physically if there is a need to halt them.
Thanks for your help!!

As said, the abilitya and commands to disable BREAK on the console depends on your type of systems.

Re: Decserver 700 Crashes VMS Systems?
Unfortunately, if you disable break on the systems you wouldn't be able to remotely break from the console manager. However, you could remotely access, fix and/or crash the system if needed using Availibilty Manager.

Re: Decserver 700 Crashes VMS Systems?
I scanned my latest software product library and no sign of Decserver software. I can go search the website for it, but if you know where I can get it that would help expedite the process.
Thanks,
Susan

Re: Decserver 700 Crashes VMS Systems?
the latest release of the DECserver 700 software (UPI: XA5 SPD 38.73) is available on the Layered Products CDs is V1.1C (saveset name DS7C011 on the Q2/2003 Alpha LP CDs).
The DECserver business has been transferred to Digital Networks many years ago (www.dnpg.com).
There is also DECserver Network Access Software (DNAS) (UPI: 0LW), which also runs on DECserver 700, but is not and seems to have never been on the OpenVMS LP CDs.
I've also found a NAECO02022 ECO kit for the DNS software on the HP FTP site, but it's access restricted.

Re: Decserver 700 Crashes VMS Systems?
Thanks. I looked and looked for 1.3 as John had suggested but with no luck. I wonder where he got the 1.3 information.
I will have to go to storage to dig out Q2/2003. Will DS7C011 provide anything more than DS7A011? By the way, I have not tried to change the BREAK command yet :), nor have I had time to look at Availability Manager as Lawerence suggested. I was thinking I could upgrade the software if it will help.

Susan
