interactive login issue

[Adam Garsha]

We've got a three node VAX cluster, we are getting:

$ set host vmsb

Username: SYSTEM
Password:
License has terminated
%REM-S-END, control returned to node VMSE::

Do you know which DEC license would be responsible? We are looking for cables currently to connect a terminal, but I was wondering if you kind folks know which one of these would be it (these are taken from a system which does NOT have an issue):

Welcome to the Openvms forum

Your licence VAX-VMS has 100 points, so this allows one connection.
Your vms-user has also 100 points, so the same.

Add some points with another licence.

[labadie_1]

You should be able to do

mc sysman set env/node=vmsb
do sh licence/charge

and post the results here.

[Adam Garsha]

$ mc sysman set env/node=vmsb

[Adam Garsha]

We were able to find a serial cable that works. We've got console now. We are trying to get a report of license to file so that we can compare it to the other nodes. Looking at the display as it flashed before me, I think the licenses look the same as with the node that I can connect to (i.e. the licenses look just like above... no standouts with "expired" or stale dates).

I'll post the output when I have it, but any ideas?

[Steven Schweda]

If a local terminal works without complaint,
but SET HOST into it fails, then I'd look
closely at the DECnet stuff, DVNET*.

Otherwise, knowing nothing, I'd probably say
REPLY /ENABLE, and see if I got a helpful
OPCOM message when someone tried to get in
with a SET HOST.

[Robert Gezelter]

Adam,

I would also check if there is a problem with the boot sequence on that node.

Various errors can cause the startup process to terminate in an unclean way, the node may appear to be up, but may not have completed startup completely.

I would check licenses, but I would also be interested in seeing a log of the actual complete bootstrap sequence.

OK, here is the issue. It seems our campus licenses (just on this node of a 3-node cluster) won't take:

Around here, it's still 2007.

Perhaps your latest DST adjustment was a bit
excessive.

[Adam Garsha]

HA! I confirmed that bad boy 3 times.... stared it straight in the face and said, yup that date looks good. Well I guess it never hurts to ask a dumb question.

Thanks for you help. This forum rocks! Points coming.

[Steven Schweda]

> [...] dumb question.

You call _this_ dumb? Nah. The really
stupid questions are the ones like, "I did
something and it didn't work. What's wrong?"
These are often posted in the wrong forum,
too, which makes them even more annoying.
I'd take someone who'd include the "show
time" transcript _any_ time, in exchange for
a no-brainer who can't describe actions and
symptoms.

Date blindness is a recurring problem. I
have a similar problem with code blindness.

I have licensing information and LMF-related troubleshooting posted, starting at:

and at:

or by using the licensing keyword at:

There's a write-up on registering PAKs when LMF won't let you log into the system, as well.

Hello,
Many times, some VMS licenses have key termination dates. This is shown on your paper license PAK. PAK stands for Product Authorization Key. Forgive me if you already know some of the things I exoplain here.

In the case of trial licenses and your campuswide licenses, they have a key terination date. If you can find your original license PAK, or perhaps your license CD, you will find the date in which your licenses will terminate.

Also, you can find this out by typing at the VMS prompt,
$ license issue
where is one of the license names listed avove, e.g.,
$ license issue ada

This will list out all of the parameters on your paper PAK, which would be all the info you nead to load a license via the license management utility.

So, I would find out the expiration date of your campuswide licenses and be sure to get renewed before then, as you serendiptiously discovered here! ;)

Anyway, you probably know by now that your error message at login was due to the VMS license being terminated due to the date being wrong on your system, which consequently, was set for AFTER your PAK termination date!

Good luck!

yes, once I was pointed to the date descrepancy all was well and access regained (after correcting the date).

Adam,
Further comments about PAK termination dates -

$ SHOW LICENSE/WARN=days

will generate a warning if any PAKs will expire within the number of days you specify:

$ show lic/warn=60

More importantly, multiple PAKs for the same product name are combined into a single "live" PAK. Sometimes the meaning of combine is fairly intuitive, like UNITS are added together. However, for dates (termination, product release etc...), the EARLIEST date is used in the combined PAK.
Thus a single terminated PAK can "contaminate" any number of unterminated PAKs. If you depend on any of the PAK types with termination dates, make sure you clean out your LMF of old, terminated, or near to termination PAKs whenever you register new PAKs.
