VMS7.3 with NFS Mount

We have E45 Alpha server running VMS7.3 and a NFS mount to a NAS device. VERY intermitten the VMS server will hang during a copy to the NFS mount. A hard reset of the server is required to resolve the issue. This doesn not occur on a reqular basis. Any ideas would be much appreciated. I have looked for patches with no luck.

Re: VMS7.3 with NFS Mount

VERY much has changed in the way of going from OpenVMS V7.3 to V7.3-2 with all patches. Also TCPIP V5.4 is not the same as TCPIP V5.4 ECO 6.

So my first advise would be: upgrade to this combination of software, or better yet: to the current versions, being V8.3 and V5.6 ECO 1.

If that is not an option: what exact version are you running?

Actually useful information would be the
output from:

TCPIP SHOW VERSION

as suggested before under the guise of:

> ucx show vers ?

This would provide the aforementioned ECO
level, too, and is simply good practice.

I believe that ECO 6 is current. I'd try
that first.

Re: VMS7.3 with NFS Mount

Could you define "hang" ? Only the process or the whole system ?

Reset it next time forcing a crash (control P followed by command crash). After the boot you should have a file in sys$common:[syserr]clue$NODE_*.lis explaning the problem.

Be aware, however, that ECO 6 has problems with no-DNS configurations,
