When I boot my 3-machine SimH VAXcluster, my MOP booted VAX system I am seeing this: %VAXcluster, system loaded from node DARMOK (AA-00-04-00-33-18) %SYSBOOT-I-SYSBOOT Mapping the SYSDUMP.DMP on the System Disk %SYSBOOT-I-SYSBOOT SYSDUMP.DMP on System Disk successfully mapped %SYSBOOT-I-SYSBOOT Mapping PAGEFILE.SYS on the System Disk %SYSBOOT-I-SYSBOOT SAVEDUMP parameter not set to protect the PAGEFILE.SYS OpenVMS (TM) VAX Version V7.3 Major version id = 1 Minor version id = 0 %WBM-I-WBMINFO Write Bitmap has successfully completed initialization. %SYSINIT, waiting to form or join a VMScluster system %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE DARMOK %CNXMAN, sending VAXcluster membership request to system PIVAX2 %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE DARMOK %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE DARMOK %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE DARMOK %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE DARMOK %PEA0, Port has Closed Virtual Circuit - REMOTE NODE DARMOK %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE PIVAX2 %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE PIVAX2 %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE PIVAX2 %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE PIVAX2 %CNXMAN, lost connection to system DARMOK %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE PIVAX2 %CNXMAN, sending VAXcluster membership request to system PIVAX2 %CNXMAN, now a VAXcluster member -- system PIVAX3 %CNXMAN, re-established connection to system DARMOK Is this; %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE DARMOK %PEA0, Excessive packet losses on LAN Path from XQA to XQA on REMOTE NODE DARMOK normal? It seems to happen at boot in the same place in the sequence. I wonder if it's the OS bootstrap reconfiguring the XQA0: interface? I don't know, though, just looked odd. -- Mark
