511.0. "Unable to halt system from OSF/1 Platform" by DARGLE::COUGHLAN () Thu Dec 08 1994 14:53

I know it is mentioned in the release notes that you cannot halt an OSF/1 system
but I cannot halt a VMS system from a PCM platform running on OSF/1. I have
read note 495 in relation to the break key and I have set my break key to CTRL_K
but when I try to halt the system (VAX 3900) and reply Y to issue a break key, I 
get the message "Connection between line sensor and remote console has been lost".

The console daemon then crashes and I am left with the ens daemon still running 
which I must kill before restarting CM. The serviced system does not halt. 
The icon colours sometimes remain grey when restarted.

I moved the serviced system to VCS where I was able to halt and reboot the 
system.

Is this a restriction on the OSF/1 platform ?

Thanks,

Dave.

    Hi
    
    Was this problem ever corrected in Digital UNIX?  I have a V4.0a
    system.  When I use PCM V1.6-300 and enter a CTRL-P, no halt occurs.
    
    Thanks!

    To the best of my knowledge you still can't halt DUnix with a break or
    Ctrl-P.
