NO sysuaf.dat file, unable to login.

[Arch_Muthiah]

Hi,

I have test Alpha Server DS10w with 2 SCSI disks on one OpenVMS 8.2 and other with OpenVMS 7.3-2.

OpenVMS 7.3-2 on disk1 is working fine.

OpenVMS 8.2 on disks is not working, because by mistake I deleted sysuaf on OVMS 8.2. Unable to login. How to recover sysuaf ?

The system managers manual describes emergency procedures for this case.

Mainly you boot conversational, set the startup procedure to your termnal (SET /STARTUP=OPA0), issue at first a SET NOON and spawn a subprocess and recover from there.

In your case with a running systemdisk, just boot the V8.2 system and copy a valid sysuaf.dat to the VMS V7.3-2 disk. This should work.

I already started doing converstional boot.
