Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
I have a 7.1 system that I upgraded to 7.3.
I tried to modify the DECNet address using:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM
This accepts and confirms my new address but
when I use:
$ SHOW NETWORK
it still reports the old address!
What's up with that?
Thanks for any help

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
you made the changes? The address may not be
a dynamic property.

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
You'll also need to modify sysgen parameter SCSSYSTEMID.
See $ MCR SYSGEN
>help Sys_Parameters SCSSYSTEMID

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
I'm trying to change from address 1.2 -> 1.3
I'm logged in as user SYSTEM.
Running NET$CONFIGURE and rebooting:
$ SHOW NETWORK shows address 1.2
Running the NET$CONFIGURE script again
I see the the default option is [1.3].
Then I try:
SYSGEN>SET SCSSYSTEMID 1027
SYSGEN>WRITE/CURRENT SCSSYSTEMID 1027
SYSGEN>WRITE/ACTIVE SCSSYSTEMID 1027
and then:
SYSGEN>SHOW SCSSYSTEMID
... this shows value 1027
SYSGEN>exit
$SHOW NETWORK => 1.2
Reboot...
$SHOW NETWORK => 1.2
SYSGEN>SHOW SCSSYSTEMID
...1026
So I don't know what to do next.
Is this not the conventional way to change
the DECNet address?

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
Did you modify the address in SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT ?

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
node's name, which might be helpful.
Not having tried this (in living memory,
anyway), I'd expect to have to make both
changes (address in its permanent data base,
SCSSYSTEMID in its permanent data base), and
_then_ reboot.
No bets.

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
at the instructions there. Meanwhile:
I found and edited SCSSYSTEMID and SCSNODE in MODPARAMS.DAT. I then located ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR and checked it with a hex editor. It has the original node name and address. I then repeated my previous activity of changing the values within SYSGEN> and checked it again to see if any changes were made: nope.
I repeated the NET$CONFIGURE process and reboot. Still no change!
Next I'll try the FAQ....

>SYSGEN>WRITE/CURRENT SCSSYSTEMID 1027
>SYSGEN>WRITE/ACTIVE SCSSYSTEMID 1027
These commands certainly do not update ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR .
USE CURRENT
SET SCSSYSTEMID 1027
(evtl. SET SCSNODE "newname")
WRITE CURRENT
would do it.

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
SYSGEN apparently does not complain about the wrong syntax, but in fact writes something like DEFAULT.PAR, not the file You expect.
And making the change to modparams.dat is of course a good thing, but becomes effective only after AUTOGEN !

Re: Trying to change DECNet address on upgraded system.
You need to do both steps:
- change the DECnet node number in the DECnet stack (NET$CONFIGURE)
- change the SCSSYSTEMID (and write it back)
You will then need to reboot. Be careful to check the SYSGEN help text for SCSSYSTEMID so that you are clear on computing the new value of SCSSYSTEMID.
