The Question is: Hi Wizard, I'm having problems getting my VAX 4000-200 to boot. It is running VMS V5.5-2. The display on boot is as follows: ************************************************ VAX/VMS VERSION V5.5-2 $! COPYRIGHT (c) 1992 Digital Equipment Corporation ...... %STDRV-I-STARTUP, VMS STARTUP BEGUN AT 'DATE' %IPC-W-ADDRNEQ, decnet address(1125) is not equal to scssystemid(11268) %IPC-F-NOSTART, IPC facility not started ---------Operator Log is then Created---------- Message from user Queue_Manage on 'nodename' %QMAN-E-COMMERROR, unexpected error #5 in communicating with node CSID 00000000 Message from user Queue_Manage on 'nodename' -SYSTEM-F-WRONGACP, wrong ACP for device -Goes into infinite loop with these 2 messages- *********************************************** The system was properly shut down before New Year and when we switched on, this started happening. It has had all necessary Y2k patches installed in the correct order along with all security updates available. Any idea what is wrong, and more to the point how to fix it? I've tried a minimal boot but can't seem to do anything apart from rename, delete, copy and type (i.e. I can't use EDT or EVE to edit files). Any suggestions warmly received. Cheers George Kinnaird The Answer is : The OpenVMS Wizard would assume that something has changed the node's DECnet address and/or SCSSYSTEMID value, and changes to the SCSSYSTEMID or SCSNODE values can affect the operation of the queue manager. The most expedient solution (assuming a change back to the original values for SCSSYSTEMID and SCSNODE is not feasible) is likely to boot the system minimally (see the FAQ), comment out the queue startup in the system startup, and then reboot fully. Once rebooted, either use the existing queue-related information in the startup to reset the target queues to each specify an explicit system for execution or (most expedient of all) simply recreate the entire queue database and all associated queue definitions.
