608.0. "DEC 2000/300 DE425 warm boot fails NCP-W-OPEFAI NCP-W-UNRCMP" by NNTPD::"[email protected]" (Daniel Jeyachandran) Thu Apr 17 1997 16:49

DEC 2000/300 with DE425 works OK with cold restarts with VMS V6.1.

Fails with the following error during Decnet startup on warm reboots.
ERA0_MODE is set to twisted. 

Show dev era0/full shows it as DE422, but Jensen console f/w recognises 
it as a DE425.

Is this the problem related to bus_mode_algorithm new?

Following is the error message.

608.1Typo - Should have been bus_probe_algorithmNNTPD::"[email protected]"Daniel JeyachandranFri Apr 18 1997 03:1710
Any clues to the problem.

I meant Bus_probe_algorithm & not bus_mode _algorithm.

Cust says there is no such variable.

Regards.

Daniel.

Daniel,

Jensen does not have the 'common console' like just about all other Alpha 
systems, so it doesn't have the same environment variables. There is only one 
I/O bus (EISA) on Jensen to work with so bus_probe_algorithm is not required.

See note 412. The DE425 NEVER worked with Jensen and OpenVMS.
