Hello Wim, I am sorry to hear that. I hope you'll find another VMS site soon. I don't know where you're located in Belgium, and if you would consider working in the Netherlands, but if you would, I recently saw a job ad from the Dutch police who are looking for a number of new IT people. The ad specifically mentioned VMS (desides Windows and Linux I believe). Proost, en alle geluk in de wereld toegewenst! Camiel

Hi Frederik, I'm glad your initial problemn got solved. As to the other question, no, I don't know a way to do this. You might want to ask that question in a new thread, to catch other people's attention who might know a way to.

Are the ports on the switch set to auto? It might be a bit far-fetched, but I've seen cases where auto-negotiation took a while.

It would seem that something in the path between the nPar and the disk itself isn't fully initialized yet... How are your disks connected?

Hi Aneta, A lot of ftp clients don't understand the regular VMS ftp server very well. This can be a real pain. I use WS-FTP when FTP'ing from/to VMS. You could download a trial version from http://www.ipswitchft.com/ and try if that works. Cheers, Camiel

Any luck yet?

Hi Willem, I can't see why any of the differences between the two configurations should casue this. Are you sure there are no other differences that went unnoticed? All versions are the same? The only thing I can think of is changing those settings that differ on node 2 to match those on node 1, and see if that does the trick. Once we know exactly what triggers the differing behaviour, we might be able to work out why.

It might be a simple case of bit-rot... You could try re-installing decset.

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-10-2009

Hmm... I may have been too fast there. From reading the description of DECC$EFS_CASE_SPECIAL, your problem might be that it _is_ enabled and should be disabled. From how I read this, if DECC$EFS_CASE_SPECIAL is set, it would cause a directory named "ROOT" to appear as "root" to Unix apps. You might want to check and see if this gets set anywhere, and see what happens if it's disabled. Here's the description: DECC$EFS_CASE_SPECIAL With DECC$EFS_CASE_SPECIAL enabled, case is preserved only for file names containing lowercase. If an element of a file name contains all uppercase letters, it is reported in all lowercase in UNIX style. When enabled, DECC$EFS_CASE_SPECIAL overrides the value of DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE.

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-10-2009

Hi Willem, Do you have .htaccess filees in any of the directories? If so, what are their contents?

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-10-2009

I am missing at least two logicals: DECC$EFS_CASE_SPECIAL (set to "ENABLE") APACHE$JAKARTA_ENABLE_ODS5 (set to 1) Also, you have DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE set to true, and I am not sure if that works. I do know that it works when set to "ENABLE" These three would normally go into the .tomcatrc file. If the above doesn't work, there may be more that's missing. I suggest you look at the CSWS_JAVA Installation Guide. I believe it has a section that specifically deals with installing on an ODS-5 disk.

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-09-2009

It shouldn't be the setting of PARSE_STYLE. Could you post your .tomcatrc? That should have some ODS-5 and case-related settings as well.

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-09-2009

The TPU guide has an example procedure that does just this. It can be found at http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/73final/6018/6018pro_014.html.

Unless of course, you're running OpenVMS, in which case the quorum disk is a feature of OpenVMS clustering. Your questions seem to cover a wide area. It might help if you could tell us what you are trying to achieve.

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-09-2009

Check Eaton's Forseer product. I'm not sure if it does everything you need, but it might come close.

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-09-2009

Could you use something like wireshark to monitor what response the real printer sends back?

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-09-2009

There are a number of things that affect case handling. Could you provide the following information: Disk: ODS-2 or ODS-5? JAVA$... and DECC$... logicals?

Camiel Vanderhoeven · ‎06-09-2009

After the "%SWAPPER-I-SYSDISK, checking status of system disk", the system waits for the VALID bit to become set in the system disk's UCB. This bit is supposed to be set by the packack routine. If this isn't happening, and the behaviour is the same no matter what disk you use (have you tried booting off a cd-rom drive connected to the same controller?), I would be inclined to suspect the SCSI controller.
