Can Availibility Manager listen to more than one interface ?

[Bruno Seghers]

Hi,

I have OvenVMS systems in two separated networks.
I put a system on both networks to start Availibility Manager and view my systems in a global display.

EIA0 is connected on LAN1
EIB0 is connected on LAN2.

I define AMDS$DEVICE to "EIA0,EIB0" : it does'nt work.
I define AMDS$DEVICE to EIA0,EIB0 => defining a search list : I see systems from LAN1 and not those from LAN2.

Does anybody knows if there is a way to see all the systems.

I don't find something interesting in the documentation.

Thanks for your help

Hi Bruno,

Check the file amds$system:amds$logicals.com
and search for amds$device.

There is some extra help available for the version you use (I have a very old one).

BTW : no quotes around the logical's value.

Hi Wim,

Thanks for recommandations but nothing speak about "multi-nics listening" in the file you mention.

Maybee it is just no possible to do it.

Thanks

Regards

Bruno

Bruno,

the AMDS$DEVICE logical exists to be able to start the AMDS protocol on a specific SINGLE LAN device. There are no provisions in the code to listen on multiple local NICs.
