The Question is: We have a vax4000. I have a Ucx problem which has resulted after a powerfail. When starting UCX version 3.1 i am getting the following errors/messages: ERROR DEFINING INTERFACE: ZE0 FAILURE ON INTERNET ACP QIO INVALID MEDIA ADDRESS INVALID INTERFACE NAME When i do and Installation verification Pass for UCX i get the message "Invalid Media Address" please help The Answer is : The TCP/IP Services V3.1 release is woefully out of date, and OpenVMS VAX V6.1 is also out of date. Please consider upgrades to more current (and supported) releases. The initial suspicion here would involve another IP host that has "thieved" this host's IP address, analogous to the discussion of the causes of the DECnet IVADDR errors listed below. As for the typical causes of the IVADDR error: -- IVADDR, invalid media address Facility: SYSTEM, System Services Explanation: This message can occur for several reasons: o An invalid disk address was specified in a physical disk read or write operation. o A duplicate address test failed on an attempt to start a network protocol. o A hardware error occurred. User Action: Take action appropriate to the cause of the error: o If a programming error occurred, update the program to specify a valid disk address. o If the error occurred on network activity, contact the network manager, who can do the following tests to determine the cause of the error: - Test: Use the NCP command SHOW KNOWN LINES to check whether the user's machine has multiple LAN lines. If so, DECnet for OpenVMS may be trying to use more than one LAN adapter on the same extended LAN. Action: Run DECnet for OpenVMS on only one LAN adapter per machine. - Test: Disconnect the erring system from the LAN. Go to another node on the LAN and set host to the erring node. If you get a response, another system on your extended LAN is up and running with your DECnet address. Action: Decide which DECnet address each system can use. - Test: Check for a halted node that was last using the disputed DECnet address. Such a node's LAN adapter is still active using the LAN address. Action: Initialize the bus or power off the machine on the node using the disputed DECnet address. o If none of the above solutions applies and you suspect a hardware error, contact a Compaq support representative.
