Message-ID: <8806280919.AA18783@ucbvax.Berkeley.EDU> Date: 8 Jun 88 10:40:00 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 17 About half a year ago we started with a LAV cluster. A Vax 8300 is the boot node. Up to last week we have had only diskless VAXstations 2000 as satellite nodes. So, the only disks in the cluster were the disks of the Vax 8300. Those disks were visible and accessible from all satellites. Last week we added a VAXstation 2000 with its own disk. I modified MODPARAMS.DAT for this node to include MSCP_LOAD=1, so that it would serve its disk for the cluster. Indeed, all other satelite nodes see this disk and have access to this disk. However, the Vax 8300 still only sees its own local disks. SHOW DEVICE on the boot member does not show the disk of the satelite. Any attempt to access the disk from the boot member fails with an error stating that there is no such device. Is there a SYSGEN parameter to be set on the boot member to make it accept disks served by satelites? F.
