3706.0. "TSAM won't talk after conversion to 4000-200" by VCSESU::BRANAM (Steve, VAXcluster Sys Supp Eng LTN2 226-6056) Tue Sep 08 1992 22:08

    Cross-posted to MCC and TSM conferences:

    We converted two VAXserver 3300's to 4000-200's this past weekend. This
    changed the built-in ethernet adapter from SVA-0 to ISA-0. Now, we can't
    get either TSM or DECmcc TSAM to talk to our DECservers from these two
    systems; we had no problems before the change. The servers load fine,
    applications can create HIC LTA ports no problem, and NCP can do a
    remote console connect to the servers, using the default password of
    ACCESS. But TSM USE SERVER <name> just hangs, as does DECmcc SHOW
    TERMINAL_SERVER <name> ALL ATT. The DECmcc Ethernet AM can talk to them;
    DECmcc SHOW STATION <address> ALL ATT works fine. So everything seems to
    work except the server management protocol.

    Is there something hidden in TSM or DECmcc TSAM that we are not seeing?
    Is there some kind of configuration step we missed? We have NCP set up
    to enable service on ISA-0, with ISA-0 as the service circuit for the
    DECservers. I had assumed that TSM and TSAM used the DECnet remote
    console protocol to talk to servers, but since NCP can do it and
    TSM/TSAM can't, I guess I was mistaken.

    Bemused in LTN,
    Steve

    Hi,
    
    	Both TSM and MCC TSAM use a "Circuit" parameter.
    
    	To change this parameter on TSM you could use the command:
    
    	TSM>	set server all circ ISA-0
    
    	Don't bother yourself with the messages that appears, to
    	check that all is OK try the command:
    
    	TSM> show server all
      Server           Address            Type     Status        Partition
    
      GOZ401           08-00-2B-10-5E-4A  DS200    Available     DEFAULT
    						   ^^^^^^^^^
    	You should see the Status change from "Error" to "Available".
     
    	Quite the same thing with MCC TSAM, try the command:
    	
    	MCC> SET TERMINA * SERVI CIRCU { "ISA-0 " }	
    
    
    	Test the success with the command:
    
    	MCC> SHOW TERMINA * ALL CHAR
    
    
    				Hope this help,
    
    				Ciao		Luciano

    Thanks, Luciano (MCC) and Mike (TSM)! Circuit was the problem. TSM SET
    SERVER ALL CIRC ISA-0 and DECmcc SET TERMINAL * SERIVCE CIRCUIT
    {"ISA-0"} did the trick, although we had to restart TSAM to get the
    DECmcc change to work.

    
    Also, for DECmcc we found that you have to restart TSAM.
