Decnet Messages

[Aaron Lewis_1]

Message from user DECNET on NODE
DECnet event 0.7, aborted service request
........
%SYSTEM-F-TIMEOUT, device timeout
Ethernet address = 00-00-F8-52-98-CD

While my network guys track down this device, how can I suppress this message so it is not scrolling on the console & filling up the operator.log file?

Aaron,

Assuming DECnet Phase IV, and by heart,

$ MCR NCP
NCP> CLEAR LOGGING CONSOLE EVENTS 0.7

set proc/priv=nooper
reply/disable=oper

and you won't get network messages.

> set proc/priv=nooper

That disables the ability to talk to OPCOM!
But it does not really matter, because this command:

> reply/disable=oper

%OPCOM-F-VALUERR, error occurred while processing the command item "OPER"
-LIB-F-AMBKEY, "OPER" is an ambiguous keyword

isn't valid anyway.

More to the point, fix the problem, not the symptom. The widget at ethernet address 00-00-F8-52-98-CD, keeps trying to boot from you, and your system probably doesn't have the ability to service that request. (hence the abort.

1. Determine what is at that address. a) ask your network folks), or b) given that it is trying to load via decnet. mc ncp connect node via hardware 08-... etc.) (I think that's the right syntax off the top of my head. This may give a clue as to what is trying to boot or download from you.

when you work that out, you can a) turn off mop service on that line, b) find what they widget is looking for, and give it to it (typically a terminal server or the like) or c) go find it, and yank it out (If it is trying to load it's software from your system, and hasn't been successful, then it is probably not a very productive piece of hardware...
