decnet - incorrect executor node number

[TMcB]

HI.

when I try to set host to anything i get :
%SYSTEM-F-UNREACHABLE, remote node is not currently reachable

Decnet should be running on EIA0
> mc lancp show conf

TMcB,

you're currently running DECnet Phase IV protocol on EIA. This may not be the right LAN.

Look at your SYS$MANAGER:NET$ROUTING_STARTUP.NCL-OLD;* files to check which interface you've been using before.

Hi Volker

looks like you are correct.
After rerunning decnet_register and rebooting to correct the address - I was able to set host to other servers in the same building, but not other buildings.

Think this is because it needs to run on other card - Do I need to reboot servers for this to take effect?

Thanks

TMcB,

it should be possible to change the routing circuit config online, but if you're running other protocols on those LAN interfaces, they may not allow the changing of the MAC address associated with ENABLE PHASEIV ADDRESS = TRUE or FALSE.

Just fix the DECnet configuration and reboot.

Volker.
