1989.0. "FDDI adapter isn't automatically configured ..." by MUNICH::STUMFOLL () Wed Mar 20 1996 04:40

A customer has an AlphaStation 250 4/266, which is a member of a mixed 
architecture Cluster (VAX's and AXP's). The machine boots from its own system 
disk (OpenVMS V6.1-1H2) and has FDDI and Ethernet adapter.

If the machine comes up, the SCA protocol runs ONLY over Ethernet, but NOT
over FDDI. Afterwards, we can use the program SYS$EXAMPLES:LAVC$START_BUS.MAR
to run SCA protocol over FDDI.

Why is the FDDI adapter not automatically configured at boot time? What can 
cause this problem? Has anyone an idea?

Note: There's also an entry from me on CSSE32::CLUSTER conference concerning 
      this same problem.

Here are a couple of Informations from the machine:

1989.1Is someone there ...?MUNICH::STUMFOLLFri Mar 22 1996 05:410
1989.2supported from OpenVMS 6.2 for the PCI DEFPATOOPCS::SELLESMon Mar 25 1996 05:4810
i guess you are using the PCI adapter ( DEFPA ) 
there are articles in both this notesfile and TIMA covering 
its use with openvms 6.1 and for cluster you've got to start it 
"manually" 

cluster "autoconfiguration" is fully supported from openVMS 6.2 ;
i have a customer with a working configuration with DEFPAs cards
on satellites ; only the boot doesnt work but its another story

>>"manually" 

Thats right.  So where it was started 'manually', I assume by an
MC SYSMAN command put into systartup_vms.com, is just before the
LAVC$START_BUS should be put.
