Unable to create files on an NFS filesystem
%BACKUP-E-OPENOUT, error opening DNFS13:[000000]UDD1.CSI;2 as output
-RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed
-SYSTEM-F-NOTFILEDEV, device is not file structured
%BACKUP-E-OPENOUT, error opening DNFS13:[000000]UDD2.CSI;2 as output

%BACKUP-E-OPENOUT, error opening DNFS13:[000000]UDD3.CSI;2 as output
-RMS-E-CRE, ACP file create failed
-SYSTEM-F-NOTFILEDEV, device is not file structured
Directories get created/copied, but no files.
I mounted it with:
tcpip mount dnfs: diskname1 diskname1/host=10.1.2.200/path=/vol/vol01/write/struc=5
Any suggestions how to get the files copied over from one disk to this NFS mount ?

Re: Unable to create files on an NFS filesystem
What does SHOW DEVICE /FULL DNFS13: show?
Do the DIRECTORY or COPY commands work?
Was a /SYSTEM or /SHARE mount intended?
Is the box current on VMS and TCP/IP Services patches?
Can you confirm you've gone through the client configuration and ADF and proxy set-up with:

Re: Unable to create files on an NFS filesystem
$ COPY from to
For example:
$ COPY sys$login:login.com DNFS13:[000000]login.com
At its simplest, I'd expect to use the BACKUP command:
$ BACKUP ddcu:[here...]*.* ddcu:[there...]*.*
BACKUP is not a good choice as a testing tool; it tends to be a rather cryptic command.
If you're using this NAS device as an archival storage device, I might well look to use zip "-V" the directories and files locally first, then ftp (gag) or sftp the zip archive file over to the device.
NFS also has its own sorts of flakiness, too. Don't try to use file sharing, for instance (the VMS NFS client is way too old, and lacks the NFSv4 locking support), and make sure the ADF stuff matches your expectations.

Re: Unable to create files on an NFS filesystem
Buy a fibre channel card or two. What model Alphaserver is this?

Re: Unable to create files on an NFS filesystem
Here? For a couple of vintage EV56-class Alpha boxes?
Boatloads of used SCSI gear are available on the market.
I've been tossing used DEC and Compaq SCSI gear onto these boxes for years, and it's (given the vintage and the relatively low storage capacity) a cheap upgrade. An old 4354R shelf with six or fourteen 76 gigabyte drives or later, or whatever... (The '54R series can get you dual-host, if your existing SCSI controllers will permit that, too.)
Or you go with an old in-board or out-board RAID controller, if you need that capability with your storage.
This is (all) fossil-vintage gear, servers and storage.
Or swap out the old StorageWorks bricks that tend to be in the shelves of these old servers for some "larger" drives.
HP has (had?) at least one MSA-class SCSI box available, too. MSA30, IIRC. That's a shelf. I'd be tempted to try the MSA500, if I had one spare; that's a SCSI connection, and VMS deals pretty well with that even if it's officially unsupported.
If you wanted to roll your own "newer" storage, there are SCSI to SATA disk adapters ("bridges" or "converters" or other such terms are used, too) available for small cost. That'll require some testing, and carefully staying below the one tebibyte addressing limit of OpenVMS V8.2.
The ither usual wrinkle with these boxes and remote storage is the comparatively glacial speed of the typical Alpha network controller. The 100 Mbps Ethernet just isn't that fast. (Compared with that, even the 2 Gb FC HBAs look good, but...)

Re: Unable to create files on an NFS filesystem
My VMS v8.4 mount command is:
$ QUALS = "/BACKGROUND /TRANS=UDP /PROC=UNIQUE /RETRIES=4 /TIMEOUT=::10"
$!
$ TCPIP MOUNT DNFS1: 'QUALS' VMS_KITS VMS_KITS -
/HOST=hostname /PATH="/vol/media/openvms/" /BACKGROUND /SUPERUSER
The /TRANS=UDP is new for v8.4 but maybe trying to use ODS-5 is an issue?
ODS-2 has always worked for me ...
