203.0. "VAX CRASHED loading FYDRIVER!!!" by DEBUG::GALLO (Fast/Good/Cheap... Pick 2!) Thu Feb 20 1997 01:35

    Just had a BAD customer situation happen.  I installed DASC V4.1 on a
    VAX 6430 running OpenVMS VAX V5.5-2.  It installed fine.  When I
    invoked DASC.COM, and it started to run...
    
    	       -- Collect system info --
    	%SYSMAN-I-TIMEVAL, timeout value is  00:06:00.00
    	%SYSMAN-I-ENV, current command environment:
    	        Clusterwide on local cluster
    	        Username DAWSON       will be used on nonlocal nodes
    	
    	%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node VENUS
    	%DASC-I-Collect     :  14:51:07.58
    	%DASC-I-License     :  14:51:14.94
    	%DASC-I-LIFE_start  :  14:51:33.12
    	%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available
    	%SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available
    	%DASC-I-NOFYA0  Loading FYDRIVER...
    	
    	Xyplex -206- Connection to EARTH terminated
    	             No response within timeout period
    	Xyplex>
    
    You guessed it.  The VAX crashed while loading FYDRIVER!!!
    When it came back up. I looked at the version of FYDRIVER.EXE out there
    and found...
    
    	FYDRIVER.EXE;2                File ID:  (2516,75,0)
    	Size:           13/21         Owner:    [SYSTEM]

    This is a 2 node cluster.
    Any reason why this machine should CRASH????
    
    Thanks.  Paul Gallo
