I have two DEC 3000/500 and three DECD 3000/400. I installed OpenVMS (hobbyist CD, ver 7.3-1) on one of theD 500's, then I setup the other 500 as a sattelite. All works well now7 (I even have setiathome running in each one of them ;).   > When I tryed to repeat the procedure in the 400 machines I gotB problems. I all seemed to went well, during the cluster_config_lanF script, before the final reboot. When it boots the problems start whenE the machine is unable to open the paging file (note that a disk local ; to the machine was initialized for that purpose, during the D cluster_config_lan setup). Then it issues a couple of errors relatedF with lack of memory, which seem consequence of lack of page file. Then6 it crashes with a bugcheck=0000036C and a memory dump:   $ anal/crash sysdump.dmp  ' OpenVMS (TM) Alpha system dump analyzer ' ...analyzing a selective memory dump...   8 %SDA-W-NOTSAVED, global pages not saved in the dump file% Dump taken on 27-AUG-2004 10:03:06.66  PROCGONE, Process not in system    System crash information ------------------------- Time of system crash: 27-AUG-2004 10:03:06.66   F Version of system: OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version V7.3-1  % System Version Major ID/Minor ID: 3/0   - VMScluster node: xxxxxx, a DEC 3000 Model 400   # Crash CPU ID/Primary CPU ID:  00/00   4 Bitmask of CPUs active/available:  00000001/00000001   CPU bugcheck codes: 2          CPU 00 -- PROCGONE, Process not in system  " CPU 00 Processor crash information" ----------------------------------  ; CPU 00 reason for Bugcheck: PROCGONE, Process not in system   0 Process currently executing on this CPU: SYSINIT   Current image file: SYSINIT.EXE    Current IPL: 0  (decimal)    CPU database address:  81430000   " CPU 00 Processor crash information" ----------------------------------  ( CPUs Capabilities:    PRIMARY,QUORUM,RUN   General registers:  L R0   = 00000000.00000124  R1   = FFFFFFFF.811214D8  R2   = 00000000.00000003L R3   = FFFFFFFF.810C1300  R4   = FFFFFFFF.8158D340  R5   = 00000000.000000C0L R6   = FFFFFFFF.8028A8C4  R7   = 00000000.7FFA1FC0  R8   = 00000000.00000000L R9   = FFFFFFFF.810D4BF8  R10  = 00000000.7FFCF800  R11  = 00000000.7FF741B2L R12  = 00000000.00000000  R13  = FFFFFFFF.811214D8  R14  = 00000000.00000000L R15  = 00000000.000204D8  R16  = 00000000.0000036C  R17  = 00000000.000037EFL R18  = 00000000.00000000  R19  = 00000000.00000000  R20  = 00000000.00000000L R21  = 00000000.00000110  R22  = 00000000.00000001  R23  = 00000000.00000800L R24  = 00000000.12016074  AI   = 00000000.00000000  RA   = FFFFFFFF.810086A0L PV   = FFFFFFFF.811216E8  R28  = 00000000.7FFF01B4  FP   = 00000000.7FFA1F202 PC   = FFFFFFFF.8028AD60  PS   = 18000000.00000003  " CPU 00 Processor crash information" ----------------------------------   Processor Internal Registers:   L ASN  = 00000000.0000003E                     ASTSR/ASTEN =          0000000FL IPL  =          00000000  PCBB = 00000000.01D36080  PRBR = FFFFFFFF.81430000L PTBR = 00000000.00000E9C  SCBB = 00000000.00000959  SISR = 00000000.00000000L VPTB = FFFFFEFC.00000000  FPCR = 00000000.00000000  MCES = 00000000.00000000  #          KSP    = 00000000.7FFA1F18 #          ESP    = 00000000.7FFA6000 #          SSP    = 00000000.7FFAE000 #          USP    = 00000000.7B04DA40   " CPU 00 Processor crash information" ----------------------------------  7                  No spinlocks currently owned by CPU 00      Any clues on what is going on?  F I suspect it has something I did between the install of the second 500E and the first 400.

Only the count of hosts in the networkF changed/doubled. And the question if you use it should not be directedD to us.
