      >>> BOOT       :      :         AUDIT_CHECKSUM_GOOD 
       84 FAIL          >>>     	 ANALYSIS:   G OpenVMS AXP Operating systems load their primary boot software from the D system disk.  They use the same procedure as the VAX 730 and VAX 750E systems did when they were booted from a local system disk instead of  from the Console media.   F On a system disk the file INDEXF.SYS has a number of extents which areC referred to as the boot blocks.  These boot blocks contain, amongst E other things, pointer to the extents on the disk occupied by the file F APB.EXE (APB.EXE on an OpenVMS AXP system is the equivalent of VMB.EXEF on an OpenVMS VAX system).  If this information is missing in the bootA block, or if the disk blocks occupied by this file are damaged or E overwritten then it will not be possible to boot the system from that  disk.   J Image Backup on versions of OpenVMS VAX prior to V6.0 is unable to rebuild anK AXP operating system disk, specifically cannot rebuild the boot blocks.  In  all I other respects the system disk produced by an OpenVMS VAX Image Backup is  fine.2    	 SOLUTION:   9 There are a number of possible solutions to this problem:0  <     - Restore the Image Backup using an AXP operating system  K     - Boot the failed CPU into an AXP cluster and run the WRITEBOOT utilityp     to rewrite the boot blocks.p  H     - Move the failed disk to a running AXP system and run the WRITEBOOT     utility.  @     - Build a Minimum OpenVMS AXP system onto a spare disk (from@     distribution software) and use that system to run WRITEBOOT.   The WRITEBOOT Utility.  H The following is an example of the WRITEBOOT utility.  The first sectionG is a dump of a non-system disk, please note the text '<volume-lable> isoG not a system disk'.

We've setupI several HP printers to use different input and  separator trays.  I don'tkK profess to understand HP's tray numbering system so you'll probably have to0J do what we did, which is a bit of trial and error, to get the tray numbersJ right.  For example, the zero in the example below happens to mean what isK marked as tray number 2 on the front of an HP 4050N we have here.  Our DCPS F startup file specifies tray_3 as the input tray (which by the way doesI actually correspond to the tray marked as number 3 on the front of the HP I 4050N).  We then use the following logical to specify the separator tray:s  @ $ define/system/exec dcps$<your-queuename>_separator_tray tray_#   ex.l0 $ define/system/exec dcps$prod1_separator_tray 0  D One final change is that we had the change the "paper handling menu"K definition on the printer control panel for our separator tray to somethingAB other than "plain".  Otherwise if the main input tray was empty itC automatically continued using the next available tray which was ourc# separator tray with its blue paper!t   Davida   > -----Original Message-----: > From: lcooksey@my-deja.com [mailto:lcooksey@my-deja.com]& > Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2000 7:35 AM > To: Info-VAX@mvb.saic.com - > Subject: DCPS, HP LaserJet, separator pagesi >  > D > (Sorry if this post is a repeat.

I suspect there will be some <E   good information available in a presentation on this topic (OpenVMSzC   NUMA) for those folks attending the Dallas DFWDays event.  (No, I0D   do not know if this presentation will be made generally available    for download.)  I :Or is the performance penalty of accessing memory across the switch fromt; :another quad so little that it is not worth dealing with ?o  D   Depends on the application, and what it is doing.  We have noticedG   some interesting behaviours with fairness and the traditional OpenVMSl9   spinlock design -- local applications gain more access.   N  --------------------------- pure personal opinion ---------------------------L    Hoff (Stephen) Hoffman   OpenVMS Engineering   hoffman#xdelta.zko.dec.com   ------------------------------  % Date: Thu, 25 May 2000 11:42:53 +0200t' From: Theo Jakobus <jakobus@iaf.fhg.de>- Subject: Re: X for dummies* Message-ID: <392D11BD.799B4865@iaf.fhg.de>   Hoff Hoffman wrote:s > V > In article <C12568E9.005A590D.00@dedamsg1.merck.de>, Robin.Goerlach@merck.de writes:7 > :I try do switch my DEC Windows desktop to my NT Box,g4 > :using X-Win 32 from Starnet something like Eceed. > 4 >   eXceed and other packages are X Windows servers. > B >   Use the SET DISPLAY command to target the X Windows server for >   your X Windows displays. > B >   You'll likely have to configure the IP transport for X WindowsE >   during the system startup, and then use the SET DISPLAY/TRANSPORTm >   to specify its use.v >  > :It gives me > :m > :rsh > :rexec and > :XDMCP > : E > :I can't use rsh and rexec because UCX 5 has no server for this two- > F >   That's odd.

Thin clients haveF their operating system in flash memory and the interconnect to servers is done using TCP/IP.sF We bought a NCD ThinStar 200 which uses XDMCP to locate servers in the LAN.? Unfortunately UCX V4.2 and TCPIP V5.0 doesn't support XDMCP.
