MON CLUSTER utility and TCP/IP

[Andrew Rycroft1]

Hi,

I have an HP Integrity OpenVMS cluster running OpenVMS v8.2-1. We do not use DECnet. I want to use the MONITOR CLUSTER utility, but this only seems to run with DECnet. Does anyone know if it will be available using TCP/IP or other network transport?

Regards
Andrew

MONITOR is capable of using both TCP/IP and DECnet as a transport mechanism. Beginning with OpenVMS Version 7.0, to use TCP/IP, you must start the TCP/IP server by issuing the following command inside SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:VPM$STARTUP.COM

DECnet continues to work as in the past: a network object is created at the time of the request.
