The Question is:
Hi!
If I try to setup my OpenVMS/vax 6.2 MicroVAX II as a boot server I keep
getting the following messages after I chose "3" in the "Change a node's
characteristics" menu:
Enter choice [14]: 3
Updating LANACP LAN server process volatile and permanent databases...
ERROR: An error occurred changing the LAN adapters.
%LANCP-E-DEVNFND, Device not found in LAN device database, E
%LANCP-E-CMDERROR, Error executing command
%LANCP-E-DEVNFND, Device not found in LAN device database, F
%LANCP-E-CMDERROR, Error executing command
%LANCP-E-DEVNFND, Device not found in LAN device database, X
%LANCP-E-CMDERROR, Error executing command
What's this all about?
I didn't find the answer in the FAQ or in the ECO-Summary.
A good friend of mine has a MicroVAX II, too, and he keeps on having the same
problem.
Many thanks in advance,
Freddy
The Answer is :
If the OpenVMS Wizard were guessing, the guess would be that the Q-bus
ethernet controller involved is not at the required CSR and interrupt
vector address settings, or that the particular Ethernet controller
involved (eg: the DEQNA) is not supported by the OpenVMS VAX version.
Use the DCL command SHOW DEVICE XQ to determine the OpenVMS status of
the Qbus Ethernet controller. If the DELQA Q-bus controller is NOT
visible, please see existing discussions of correctly (re)configuring
the Q-bus -- discussions include topics (1149), (3232), and (5219) here
in Ask The Wizard, and see the Q-bus discussions and pointers in the
OpenVMS FAQ.
If the XQ device does show as online and available, you could directly
enter the necessary values at the LANCP prompt:
SET NODE VAXSYS/ADDRESS=08-00-2B-11-22-33 -
/FILE=NISCS_LOAD.EXE -
/ROOT=$64$DIA14:<SYS10.> -
/BOOT_TYPE=VAX_SATELLITE
DEFINE NODE VAXSYS...
SET DEVICE/MOP=ENABLE XQA
DEFINE DEVICE...
Then you can run CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN without enabling and configuring a
boot server, as it is already enabled and configured.
