I unpacked that decnet46 tape image with BRU, and did netgen with that. I get an
endnode, I missed the fact it didn't ask me if I wanted something else. So how would
I get a router instead?
Sounds like you are faced with an endnode kit. Then you don't have a choice.
Download the full DECnet kit from MIM, and make a new installation with
that. Now that you've come this far, that is fairly easy to do, since
the tape image exists at MIM::
I supplied the addresses and vectors to match what
SIMH has, but at network startup I get a complaint about the DMC-0 vector:
Something must be using vector 320.
Try "CON DIS FULL ATT" and spot what might be using it.
NCP SET SYS
NTL -- DMC Template -- Vector
320 Not Available
.INT1 $$DMC
NTL -- DMC Template -- Vector 324 Not Available
.INT2 $$DMC
NTINIT -- Failed To Load Line DMC-0
ASN =XX:
NCP SET EXE STA ON
As far as I can tell nothing else uses that vector. It's happy with DMC-1 (vector
330). Also, I can't get CFE to set my nearby node
names:
CFE>def nod 41.1 name python
CFE -- Name Node Server QIO failed, Function=IO.WND, I/O Status=205
Does it matter that I specified that name during netgen? But I also gave it MIM and
that's defined just fine.
I wonder if it might be that the node name server isn't running. But I
don't understand why MIM would be possible to define in that case.
Do you perhaps already have a PYTHON defined with some other number?
Also, if you have DECnet up and running, check for [5,54]NNCFSL.TSK,
which is a task you can use to copy all the node names from another node
(like MIM).
