The 8.3 is patched with the UPDATE-1200 patch kit.
The upgraded server is on our LAN here and while previously we could PING/FTP/TELENT to our other ALpha Server - this is no longer working?
Any obvious patches I have missed?
Regards
Roger

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
is TCPIP running ? Is there a TCPIP interface ?
$ TCPIP SHOW INT
Does $ TELNET LOCALHOST work ? And $ TCPIP PING LOCALHOST ?

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
can you ping the default gateway (find it with TCPIP SHOW ROUTE and the gateway address for AN 0.0.0.0) ?

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
I think our gateway is 129.94.185.1
but I cant ping that.
When i do a show route I get lots of routes with the gateway on the right hand column all showing 129.94.185.1.

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
the default gateway should also be visible with TCPIP SHOW ROUTE/PERM.
Check the LAN interface counters with
$ MC LANCP SHOW DEV/COUNT EIA
And check for any LAN driver messages with
$ MC LANCP SHOW DEV/INT EIA
Does ARP work and return the MAC addresses of IP nodes on your network ?
$ @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$DEFINE_COMMANDS
$ ARP -a

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
CHAS.chasdomain (129.94.185.45) at (incomplete)
We are also experiencing problems with our LIVE box when this newly upgraded box is on the network. In particular users connecting with Pathworks are losing there mapped shares. Incidentally the Upgraded Server has no pathworks installed.

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
easiest way to check MAC address is:
$ SHOW DEV/FULL EIA0 (on V8.3)
$ ANAL/SYS
SDA> SHOW LAN/FULL/DEV=EIA (on V7.3-2)
When DECnet starts and you're running DECnet Phase IV or DECnet-OSI with Phase IV compatible address, it changes the MAC address of the LAN interface to AA-00-04-00-xx-yy (with xx-yy being set based on the DECnet address)
Does $ SHO NET show the same DECnet address on your LIVE and upgraded system ?

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
on both LIVE server and UPGRADED server we have:-
PN 0.0.0.0 128.64.32.1
The 128.64.32.1 is an old IP address which we havent been using for about 5 years.
We now use 129.94.185.1
IS this a problem area? The fact that the LIVE server is working with this?

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
as long as you don't communicate with IP addresses outside your current IP network (129.94.185.128), the default gateway will not be used. This could explain, why this wrong config still works.
You should correct his with:
$ TCPIP SET NOROUTE/DEFAULT/PERM
and then run @TCPIP$CONFIG to define the correct route.

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
YES, this IS THE PROBLEM: AA-00-04-00-FE-FF
You now have 2 systems with the same active MAC address on your LAN segment. First thing to do: disconnect the network cable of the upgraded system !!!

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
let me guess: you've taken an image backup of your LIVE box and upgraded that to V8.3. You thought about the different IP addresses, but you didn't think about DECnet ...
You need to change the DECnet address of the upgraded system to a new UNIQUE DECnet address. How to do this depends on your DECnet version and what your plans are to replace/upgrade your LIVE system.
If you're running DECnet-Plus (DECNET_OSI), then just editing SYS$MANAGER:NET$ROUTING_STARTUP.NCL and changing the PHASEIV ADDRESS may be sufficient.

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
The scssytemid in modparmas.dat is not the same as the LIVE box so not sure why the MAC addresses are showing the same?

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
if the MAC address is a DECnet MAC address, you ARE running DECnet.
$ SHOW SYS/PROC=NET*

Re: upgrade vms 7.3-2 to 8.3 problems
AA-00-04-00-FE-FF maps to DECnet address 63.1022 or 65535 in decimal notation (like in SCSSYSTEMID).
What does $ SHOW NET report ?
