DECnet PhaseIV and LAN Failover: Startup Errors

[Martin_H]

hi,

i got a customer using VMS 7.3-2 lan failover and decnet phaseIV. when he boots the system he gets the following error-messages:

%NCP-W-OPEFAI, Operation failure
%SYSTEM-F-ILLIOFUNC, illegal I/O function code

and

%NCP-W-UNRCMP, Unrecognized component, Circuit
Circuit = EIA-0

for each adapter he has defined in the
failover-sets.

the strange thing is, that

NCP>SHOW KNOWN LINE or NCP>SHOW KNOWN CIRCUIT

only displays the two defined failover-sets LLA-0 and LLA-1!

the startup logfile shows that the LLDRIVER is loaded correctly and that DECnet is the first protocol to be started - see the attachment. decnet seems to be working but the customer wants to know why he gets this errors...

any suggestions?

thanks and regards,
martin

Martin,

welcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum.

Looks like the old circuits may still be defined in the DECnet permanent database:

$ MC NCP LIS KNOWN CIRC

If so,

$ MC NCP PURGE CIRC eia-0 ALL

will get rid of them (use: eia-0, eib-0, ewa-0, ewa-1).
