For the DECnet cluster alias you need (at least) one routing node (L1) or a router.
Does any of the cluster nodes have routing enabled?
I hqve a L1 router and an area router in the same LAN. Is that enough, or should I enable routing in one of the cluster members?

I wasn't aware PDP-11s were sold in BA123s! I had wondered if they were though.
But nice. So now the system is running as it should.
Yup. Save for the one fan that seems to be failing.

Not really. All my machines (virtual and real) are in the same LAN, and they appear to be all adjacent (excepting the simulated KS10, which connects to one of the virtual VAXen via a KDP/DUP <-> DMC link).

I guess you have a DECnet router involved, but just asking.

Hello,
I have built a simh based LAVC (just because it is cool), and I have a problem. The booting/sharing/clustering works as usual (that is, awesomly), but I can't make the decnet cluster alias work. I have defined it and if I do a show exec char I see it is defined. If I do a SET HOST to the cluster alias _FROM_ any node in the cluster, it also works (as SET HOST 0), but the address does not propagate thru the LAN, so it is not visible in SHOW NET/OLD and it is regarded as unreachable from any other node.
I have some real iron here, and there the cluster alias works as intended.
I wonder if it is a simh-related issue. I don't really know how does this thing work internally. Since DECNET has no ARP resolution I guess the MAC address corresponding to the DECNET address is somehow added to the NIC so it "listens" to both MAC addresses (the one corresponding to the node and the cluster one). Perhaps SIMH implementation does not allow this magic. If that was the case I'd consider it something to be fixed.
Any idea if I am missing something stupid before reporting this as a bug?
