1878.0. "AS 1000's and DEFEA-DA's" by 49716::PAYERHUBER () Mon Nov 27 1995 06:57

    Hello,
    
    2 AS 1000 connected via DEFEA-da (a-b, b-a) and de435 (unbridged), no
    other nodes on FDDI, intermittendly fail to start LAVC-communication
    via FDDI, when one of the 2 nodes is booted.
    DEFEA-DA,s are at FW 2.46 and in Full Duplex as shown by Lancp. 
    VMS is 6.2, latest Pedriver patch applied. 
    Systems boot from their own (unshadowed) systemdisk on SWXCR. Other
    disks on the SWXCR (JBOD) are shadowed, and in the case of the failure
    all the shadowcopy traffic is flooding the ethernet.
    Are there any known problems in this area?
    How to disable full duplex permanently via Lancp, I tried this with
    Lancp, but after rebooting the Alphas the DEFEA's are in Full duplex
    again.
    
    Cheers, fritz

    Both the DEFEA and DEFPA firmware power-up with FDX disabled, so the
    driver or console firmware must be enabling it.  I would look for some
    sort of driver switch or similar parameter.

    My fault: in reality the DEFEAS were @ FW 2.3.
    Upgrading to 2.46 solved the problem!
