DecNet Phase V Issue on New Integrity Servers

[Warren Landrum]

Forum-mates,

I've got a new 3-node Integrity cluster (VMS 8.3) I'm setting up to replace our Alpha Cluster. Am having issues with Decnet Phase V and I'm sure it's probably because I've either configured something wrong or didn't configure something that I should have during initial setup and NET$CONFIGURE runs. Anyway, here's what's happening and not happening. To test Decnet, I usually test the SET HOST capability and MONI CLUSTER.

Here are results of testing:

1. Cannot SET HOST out from one Integrity node to another in the new cluster
2. MONI CLUST does not run on any of the 3 Integrity server nodes
3. I CAN SET HOST out to the existing Alpha Cluster and I can also SET HOST into the Integritys from the Alpha Cluster.

Any clues as to what I may have done wrong or neglected to do?

Thx,

Warren

HP Support actually got back to me in a timely manner on this and was able to solve problem for me.

For reference of anyone else who might have this type of deal, here's what needed to be done.

1) Run sys$system:decnet_register and define the other 2 cluster nodes via their Local Name and Decnet ID

2) MC NCl> FLUSH SESSION CONTROL NAMING CACHE ENTRY "*" tomake changes take effect immediately instead after the default of 8 hours for updating.

That's it.
