If the SCSNODE name is 6 characters and the TCP/IP nodename is 8 characters, will this cause any problems under OpenVMS v7.3.1, running TCP/IP 5.3 (5.3 is the version which comes with OpenVMS 7.3.1 right? ).
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: nodename character limit and interaction between Decnet and TCP/IP
Yes, you can do it (see below), and no, I do not think it is genarally a good idea since it surely
will end up confusing people who have to work with this system.

Solutionyou can have 6 character DECnet name and a different length TCPIP name, no problem. But as mentioned in the previous reply, it is not necessarily a good idea from a confusion standpoint. I would try and keep host/node names the same whenever possible to avoid the confusion that maybe encountered, be consistent. However, some circumstance don't always allow us to be consistent. It will all depend on what you are trying to accomplish or avoid.

Re: nodename character limit and interaction between Decnet and TCP/IP
Then you can just add extra entries in your DNS / local host table for as many extra names as you require and certainly up to 8 characters. You can also then keep your 6 char DECnet name as well.
