CLASSICCMP READERS: Please pardon the CC. I'm still not sure that Tim is
able to receive mail from me for whatever reason.
Ok... here's the current status. I've used SYSGEN as you described, reset
a couple of cards as needed to correct some mis-set addresses, and put
everything back together.
I've used AUTOCONFIG ALL /SELECT=(PU,PT,XQ,TX). This should have
configured the tapes, the disks, the DELQA, and the DHV11.
I then issued the commands:
SYSGEN> WRITE ACTIVE
SYSGEN> WRITE CURRENT
SYSGEN> EXIT
I then shut down and rebooted. However, the second TK50 still does not
appear to be available under any of the device names. It should, I thought,
come up as MUB0:, PUA0: or PUB0:. I cannot mount it under any of those
designators. At this point, I am reinstalling OpenVMS 6.2 from scratch on
another drive. I'll see what happens then.
I've borrowed some documentation that covers SYSGEN, but either I'm not
doing something right or I've overlooked something so basic that either one
of us might take it for granted.
Could the problems I've been having with the license management affect it?
As soon as I get the hardware issues dealt with, I can -- FINALLY!! --
copy that stupid tape!
Please let me know if you receive this in your E-mail box or only from
CLASSICCMP. Thanks in advance.
