1075.0. "ENS won't start after system rename" by 25259::CROUCH (Subterranean Dharma Bum) Thu Nov 02 1995 08:54

Us again, we had to rename the PCM host this a.m. We reconfig'd the kernel,
rebooted, changed IP and DECNET, rebooted again. All products with the
exception of PCM work fine. The consoled process starts but not the ens.

Below is the environment and some error messages from various log files.
Is there a workaround? If not, should we save the configuration data bases,
delete PCM, re-install PCM and use the old databases? If this is the case
what are the proper steps to follow?

Thanks,

Jim C.

    Environment is as follows:

    ALPHA 3000-900

    UNIX 3.2C

    PCM 1.6

	Not being too versed with this I'm not sure if this is relevant or not. I run console edit, get into show/modify system window. The failover info is grayed out so that I cannot make a change. The primary host is list as the old name. I was going to change each system to the new PCM host name. Any reason why this cannot be done. Jim C.

	>Any reason why this can't be done. Yes, as that code has not been activated as it's not completed. The engineering group added the fields in the database to support an active failover config but the rest of the code work has not been completed. It has nothing to do with your problem.

	Ok, on the system rename it appears it cannot be done. If this is the case perhaps this should be documented somewhere. In any event, we had to remove the product and reinstall it. Jim C.

	>In any event we had to remove the product and reinstall it. This is unnecesary. You use the import/export function to chage these but again this part of the code is not active. I really fee you had some other problem. Regs, Dan

	It was necessary. The product wasn't functioning and we had to get remote console access working again. We had no problems with the other layered products. I can't explain what went wrong but we were out of business. Jim C.
