HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard |

The Question is: Dear Wizard, Our organization uses Novell and NT as the file servers. I would like to have both our Alpha and our VAX to use an NT box as its server. I have DEC TCP/IP 3.2 - ECO Level 8. I have started NFS on Windows NT using Omni-NFS from www.xlink.com. I have successfully mounted the NT NFS server on to our OPEN VMS on the Alpha. I am able to copy and append files. I can even open files using EDIT. My problem is that EDIT complains of "insufficient priveleges or file protection violation" when I tray to save the contents. Attempting to compile using DEC FORTRAN also yields the same error. The NFS directory is exported as Read and Write. The same NFS mount works fine from an HP UNIX box. Can you suggest a fix? I would also appreciate information on an alt- ernate approach to achieving the same goal (ie NT file server for OpenVMS). The Answer is : The OpenVMS TCP/IP Services NFS Client is apparently requesting access to the Windows NT NFS Server package for write, and is being denied. Please contact the maintainer of the Windows NT NFS Server for assistance. With the assistance of the NFS Server, determine what sort of proxy mapping occurs, what sort of error or access control logging is available, and what the specific configuration requirements are. One obvious alternative would be to use the OpenVMS NFS Server -- possibly as part of an OpenVMS Cluster configuration -- and configure the Windows NT systems as clients. Other approaches include the OpenVMS NTDS package.
