New network card in the Alpha, how do I reconfigure DECNET?

by mark＠wickensonline.co.uk

Hi, I've got an AlphaServer 300 running as a clustered satellite node from an AlphaServer 1000A. The 300 has a built in DE450 network card (10MB). I've augmented that with a PCI DE500 100MB network card. My question is how I move DECnet off the old card (which is now disconnected) to the new card. I've tried running NETCONFIG but this doesn't seem to recognise the new card. The old card is EWA0: the new one EWB0: The remote booting and cluster server are running fine, so the machine boots OK off the new card, and I have reconfigured TCP/IP for the new card, it's just DECNET I'm stumbling with. The old card won't be connected to the network any more. Thanks for the help, Mark.

Hmm, it's working now? Any one else want to try it and see if the 503 was a random hamster dying or something?

Sampsa - The cables are in the mail. The total for shipping was Can$ 8.98 all in, so if you want to send me Can$ 32 at your convenience, you can paypal this e-mail address. No tracking number - just letter post, small padded envelope. I tested them before sending, but if there's any trouble or they don't arrive, please let me know. Cheers, Phil

RMS-11

Does anyone have sources to RMS-11 V2.0. Specifically for RSX, in case they differ. I have a tricky problem. I've written a device driver that pretends to look like a file system without using any ACP. It implements most functions an ACP normally implement. It also have some "odd" attributes set on the device to represent both what it actually is, and also to make FCS do "the right thing". So, yes, using FCS, I can access this device just like any other, including opening files and so on... However, RMS-11 is not so cooperative, and I guess it means that I'm either not implementing some ACP function in enough detail to make RMS-11 happy, or else some device attribute it not set right, causing RMS-11 to treat the whole thing in a way that is too restricted, compared to FCS, in which case I want to figure out exactly how to set attributes to make RMS-11 do the right thing as well. And just to explain what I'm doing in a little more detail: I've actually done this for two devices. The first is the DOS device presented by E11 and other emulators. It's a device that gives access to the host file system. The second device is actually TCP/IP. I can use normal tools and FCS functions to access the internet, just as easy as any other file. But not so, using RMS... :-( As an example: .pip ti:=tc:"130.238.19.25";21 220- =============================================================== 220- = Welcome to the Update Computer Club FTP archives! = 220- =============================================================== 220- 220- This server is maintained by the computer club Update at 220- Uppsala University in Uppsala, Sweden. 220- 220- You can find all the good stuff in the /pub directory. 220- 220- Please be advised that the club provides this service without 220- any guarantees, and we take no responsibility for any harm that 220- may come to you or your system from the use of this server, or 220- files obtained from this server. 220- 220- We do, however, try to ensure that everything here is correct. 220- If you have problems with the server, please contact the 220- FTP administrator ftpadm at Update.UU.SE. 220- 220 PIP -- I/O error on input file TC0:[IPLIB]130238019.025;21 -- Timeout on request . Now, it would be awesome if I could make this play using RMS as well, since then I could easily write servers using BASIC+2 or other languages. FORTRAN 77 as well as C do also have FCS interfaces, so I can already use those, assuming I'm happy with limiting myself to FCS. But I want it all (of course). So - anyone who might be able to help? (And no, the TCP/IP is not available for distribution yet, but might be in the future, depending on interest and so on...)
