    VMS DIsk shadowing - SYSTEM-F-INCSHAMEM

    Don't know if this helps, but HP website's doco indicates the following re geometry in relation to the error you are receiving... maybe do a basic check on the size that's showing for each of the units and see if the controllers are reporting differing sizes..?? "If you are running the current...

    Communication and Managing global projects

    I manage a number of concurrent o/seas projects, often rolling from one into the next with different Vendors, and agree whole-heartedly with prjctfish' comments on cultural differences... Initially, assuming other folks/cultures work to the same priorities, methodologies & ethics caused me a...

    Hard disk device error log file

    Hi Dan, How'd you go with the system hang? Sort it all out? May need to review your housekeeping if the disk was full... need to clean-up periodically or it will continue to happen.

    Hard disk device error log file

    I also don't have the manuals handy, but try the following: $ anal/err/dev=xx where xx is the problem disk... When you do a "$ Show Device/Full xx" (again, xx being the problem disk), what's the error count? If it's zero, and your system has not been rebooted, it's not a disk problem (i.e...

    Display Directory with Versions almost to the limit

    Meny21... Here's a couple of command procedures I wrote quite some years ago - perhaps not "optimised code", but it does exactly what I need it to... I have taken these everywhere I've worked to manage just the problem you are describing. NOTE: these are two seperate command procedures - the...

    Project Management for a 15 year Technical person

    Trigeek, I come from a similar background as yourself (my speciality was OpenVMS systems Management, and Data Centre Management). You will no doubt have done some/many of the basics of PM already during your technical days - basically it is formalising what I assume you are already doing -...

    Everyone Please Respond

    Not sure about your location specifics, but I assume you would have to have ISO accreditation for your hospital - a great chunk of which is in the IT arena. Given the above, you would almost certainly fail your next ISO accreditation audit - you may be able to leverage off this. Your situation...

    Disabled HD in Bios

    You may be better sending this to the Compaq Servers group.... not the OpenVMS group.

    Purge files

    To save the last thirty days... $ purge/log/before= - 'f$cvtime("TODAY-30-","ABSOLUTE","DATE")' filename.ext Don't have the machine in front of me, but it can definitely be done on one line... the above may be "COMPARISON" instead of absolute - I'm sure you can work it out with a little trial...

    PWRK-F-SAMCHECK (Advanced Server 7.3A upgrade)

    We copy the following files, which let's us put the shares and security back as it should be, after leaving then rejoining the domain: From: pwrk$root:[lanmman.datafiles.<date>] ACL.; SHAREDB.; LSA.; To: pwrk$root:[lanmman.datafiles] It always comes up fine for us... all shares and security...

    How to Copy save_set from Tape to Disk

    I just tried it on one of my machines (an alpha, admittedly, but in theory it should be the same), and copying the file while the tape is mounted /OVER=ID works fine... mounted /FOREIGN does NOT work - data overrun errors... <HOOROO~Hugh~1>mount/over=id mka400 %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, H2501 mounted on...

    Samba malfunctioning on Alpha VMS 7.3-2

    I'm not sure what the problem is with Samba off-hand, but the fact that your NFS shares are having issues is a definite problem - and as Samba uses TCPIP for mounting etc, this may be the root of your problem. What version of TCPIP services are you using (including patches)? What mount command...

    quorum disk : ALPHA OPEN VMS

    Hi Prem.. Could you supply a little more info regarding the configuration: What storage are you using - SAN, scsi BA shelves etc that the quorum disk resides on. The position of the quorum disk on the i/o bus (ideally it should be the first disk on the i/o bus for the speed). Is there anything...

    DOES OPEN VMS V 7-2.1 SUPPORT IDE DEVICES?

    Hi Steve, Yes, 7.2-1 does support IDE devices... as far as I am aware, all versions of the o/s have IDE support... Cheers, Hugh.

    Convert Record Format of File

    If convert doesn't work, a snippet of DCL can fix the problem (easy if your output MUST be 13 characters ending in "Y" - just keep reading characters until you have 13, write it out and repeat!) but I'd need a decent size sample of the data - a couple of dozen lines would probably suffice (or...

    Can't delete or backup these files

    I use a weekly housekeeping routine to do an ANALYZE/DISK/NOREPAIR to keep an eye on things like these.. the problem tends to aggregate on disks where there is a lot of transient files... such as pathworks disks etc... It also does a lot of other things such as check available file headers etc...

    Step by step instruction to mount remote filesystem (nfs)

    I'll try and clarify... There should be a space between "$1$DNFS1:" and "TEST" in the above command - this may be why it failed... You do not need to "create" the device - the command that mounts the device actually creates the virtual device "$1$dnfs1". As for making it persistent by puting...

    PWRK-F-SAMCHECK (Advanced Server 7.3A upgrade)

    We do this with some frequency when refreshing a DR system of ours... supplying the password etc does work around it. However, at the end of the process, we answer NO to "start the pathworks processes". We then move the backup copy of SHAREDB back into the original position, and bring the...

    changing pathworks to tcp/ip

    For the Pathworks version, type $admin show version To change the transport type, use sys$update:pwrk$config Answer "YES" to "do you want to change the server configuration parameters now?". Select "Transports" from the menu. Deselect "DecNET", and select "TCPIP". Make sure your other...

    Pathworks 6.1 file permission problems

    Check the protection on the higher level directories at the VMS side... if they are wrong, all files created below will be incorrect.
