unable to start LPD CLIENT
yesterday we had a temporary (planned) power down on one location.
After the systems came back up, we could not start LPD queues.
The message during TCPIP startup was
%TCPIP-E-STARTFAIL, failed to start LPD_CLIENT
%TCPIP-E-NOSERVREC cannot find LPD_CLIENT service database record.
It now came to the surface that this functionality was activated some two years ago on only one node, by someone who has since long left.
I have NOT been able to find how to get this corrected !! The service manual is not much help either. :-(
VMS 7.3-2 -- ICPIP services 5.4 ECO 4.
I am sure that it will be too trivial to enter into a manual, but we are at a loss right now.
Thanks in advance!
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: unable to start LPD CLIENT
the LPD_CLIENT service seems to come from TCPIP V5.1. Have a look at SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$V51_CONVERSION.COM - it talks about merging LPD and LPD_CLIENT.
I can't find a LPD_CLIENT service entry after configuring LPD on TCPIP V5.6.
$ TCPIP SHOW CONF ENA SERVICE *

Re: unable to start LPD CLIENT
WAG...
try (may have to define tcpip commands first):
$ tcpip$lpd_utilities -f START_CLIENT_QUEUES

Re: unable to start LPD CLIENT
found that already. Conversion was done in 2003 (.FLG files for every node still there to prove it).
Edgar,
will try that tomorrow. Points assignment awaits the result.
Meanwhile, I have set one node to no longer accept new connections, so tomorrow I can do a full TCPIP shutdown & startup, and if that does not help a reboot.
If either fixes the issue, I will initiate a rolling down-up cycle.
Meanwhile, if anybody has more ideas (or, perhaps, documentation on this issue?), I am more than interested!

Re: unable to start LPD CLIENT
TCPIP SHOW SERVICE/PERM/FULL LPD
In a cluster only one node has to be configured but that node does have to start the service. Look for logicals that should be defined.
SHOW LO *LPD*
Especially look for the printcap file logical.

Re: unable to start LPD CLIENT
alas.
Walter,
all _LOOKS_ correct, and not different from another cluster that is functioning OK.
The real "trouble" manifests itself when trying to start an LPD que:
Message number 07648312
after $ SET MESSA SYS$MESSAGE:TCPIP$MSG that is:
%TCPIP-E-FACNOTSTART, attempt made to run a TCPIP image before starting the facility
So, a nice un-VMSsy non-informal message: why does it not say / how do I find out WHICH facility?
I did on one node
- stop & disable LPD
- stop TCPIP entirely
- start TCPIP
- enable & start LPD
No difference.
On all nodes
- stop & disable LPD
- enable & start LPD
No difference.
I am getting desparate (as are the users and my managers!)
HELP!!!!
Proost.

Re: unable to start LPD CLIENT
exactly on which command do you get those error message ? Di you run the appropriate DCL procedures with SET VERIFY to find out the exact command ? Did you consider to use SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=MAJ after you've isolated the offending command ?
Without being able to exactly see or reproduce the failure, it will be hard for anyone to try to help you.

Re: unable to start LPD CLIENT
after looking around further in TCPIP$*.COM and TCPIP$*.EXE files, I'm getting the impression, that there definitely is no LPD_CLIENT service anymore in the more recent versions of TCPIP (beyond V5.1). The reference in TCPIP$CONFIG.COM just seems to be a leftover.
Could it be, that there is some 'old' procedure or image lying around, which explicitly references LPD_CLIENT ?
Volker.

I have attached a copy of the V51 com file.
