DTSS in hang during shutdown

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

I have a system on which "mc ncl disable dtss" is done during shutdown. The command hangs. I noticed that the process behind it aborts (with dump) and in accounting "invalid operand" is given. Why ?

$ mc ncl show impl

Looking at the image index for Alpha Vms 7.2, the last Dtss images are in dnvosi_eco6072, see

http://ftp.support.compaq.com.au/pub/ecoinfo/ecoinfo/a72i.htm

Do you have applied the Eco 6 for Dns Osi ?

[Wim Van den Wyngaert]

No further paching is planned and will be planned.

It has been working for years.
The node wasn't rebooted since long time.

The problem is still not solved. Any one a new idea ?

I did "set watch file/class=all" and then "ncl disable dts". No access to any file was done.

If I abort the ncl command, dtss has stopped !
