I've now refreshed the VAX satellites system drive and installed it in the ALPHA server. The one problem I have remaining is that the VOTES the satellite is contributing to the cluster is 1. I believe for a proper satellite this should be 0. Is this a case of updating the MODPARAMS.DAT on the satellite and autogen and reboot? Do I need to do anything with the ALPHA servers configuration? Presumably I will need to reboot the ALPHA server as well. Thanks for the help, Kind regards, Mark.
