695.0. ""Console link lost" revisited" by COMICS::MILLSS (All good things must come to an end...) Wed Apr 26 1995 18:06

I have a customer who has PCM V1.5 installed on a system that used to run VCS
V1.4. Console connections over LAT work OK, but direct, i.e. a single cable from
VAX to VAX, connections fail with the "CONSOLE LINK FOR SYSTEM LOST" message. At
the same time he gets a message from the audit server complaining of a Local 
interactive login failure on the machine he's trying to connect to on the port
with the console connection, thus -

Proces name "_TXA4:"
User "<login>"
Owner Process "SYSTEM"
Terminal _TXA4:
Imagename LOGINOUT.EXE
Status %LOGIN-F-CMDINPUT, error reading command input

Any clues, anybody ?

BTW, VCS still works if he runs that up.

Simon,

  Does you customer have the MUP installed, we did some work in the MUP (actually
  I think it was in the ECO prior to the MUP) which reverted the behaviour back
  to be the same as VCS.

Cheers,
Phil

    The other thing you can do to prevent this is to place the following
    command in SYLOGICALS.COM
    
    SET TERM/PERM/NOTYPEAHEAD TXAx:
    
    this turns off the typeahead buffer so that anything sent to the
    console port of the service node - like opcom messages - won't induce
    a login. This same thing could happen with VCS by the way.
    
    Regs,
      Dan
