Cory, If you want to share the SYSUAF.DAT (and you technically don't have to in a VMS cluster, but it gets a bit hairy with multiple ones), you would put it on a common disk directly mounted by all nodes and pointed to by the SYSUAF system logical name, oh and usually a bunch of other files are included with this, There is a template command procedure in SYS$STARTUP that describes them, I believe SYLOGICALS. A quorum disk is only needed to provide a vote, and usually only used in a two node cluster. Recent VMS versions do have external authentication capabilities but you still have a SYSUAF.DAT as a backup... - Dave On 6/12/2014 5:40 PM, Cory Smelosky wrote: Got a (hopefully) quick question regarding clustering I've got a VAX<---->Alpha cluster rolling (VAX for booting VAX satellites, Alpha for Alpha satellites) and I'm running in to an issue with the SYS$UAF stuff.

Quick cluster question

Got a (hopefully) quick question regarding clustering I've got a VAX<---->Alpha cluster rolling (VAX for booting VAX satellites, Alpha for Alpha satellites) and I'm running in to an issue with the SYS$UAF stuff.

Parallel computing using DECnet

by e.olofsen＠xs4all.nl

For those working on parallel computing: rullfs::[.parallel] contains some routines in Fortran for VMS, inspired by TCGMSG and the paper with the SEM routines. Erik

I think I might just wipe the drive and install from scratch.

Announcing HECnetNT! (It's HECnet ported to Windows)

by jsteve＠superglobalmegacorp.com

For the two or three people that may care, I ported the latest version of the HECnet bridge to Windows. This isn't a MinGW or Cygwin port, but a native Win32 console version. I've been able to use it with Windows NT 4.0 Terminal Server, and binding Pathworks 7 on a loopback interface, and then using HECnetNT to bridge it to a Linux box with HECnet, that had a SIMH VAX. Memory and CPU utilization seems to be pretty small. As an added bonus I added support for Ethernet_II so you can build NetWare networks, and added in LZSS if desired to make compressed bridges. However it'll parse original configurations, and operate in a normal uncompressed manner by default. I uploaded it to sourceforge here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/hecnetnt/ Thanks! Jason
