964.0. "LIB$GET_LUN not allocating 299-120 ?" by ZPOVC::MONGKIA () Thu Apr 03 1997 12:30
Hi,
LIB$GET_LUN on my VMS/ALPHA 7.1 is able to allocate logical unit
numbers from 119 to 100, and then 299 to 120 as stated in the RTL
manual. However, it can only allocate from 119 to 100 logical unit
numbers on my VMS/ALPHA 6.2-1H3 system. What am I missing ?
Below is the Fortran program I used to test on both systems :-
PROGRAM TEST
INTEGER LUN,STATUS
DO J=1,300
STATUS = LIB$GET_LUN(LUN)
IF (.NOT. STATUS) CALL LIB$SIGNAL(%VAL(STATUS))
TYPE *, ' J = ', J, ' LUN = ', LUN
ENDDO
Any comments ?
Regards,

The number of LUNs issued by LIB$GET_LUN was increased for V7.0 (Alpha
only). There are NO plans at this time to do the same for VAX.

| 964.2 | More LUNs for Alpha 6.2 ? | ZPOVC::MONGKIA | | Thu Apr 03 1997 13:26 | 11 |
| Re : .1
Thanks for the prompt reply.
What I was wondering is why I couldn't get more LUNs for my ALPHA
6.2-1H3.
Do you mean the number of LUNs issued by LIB$GET_LUN is only increased
for V7 Alpha and NOT V6.2 ALPHA ?

| Yes, that's what it means. Somewhere between V6.2 and V7.1 (V7.0, I think),
LIB$GET_LUN on Alpha was modified to allocate additional LUNs. Originally,
this routine would allocate 100-119 only, and that limit remains on VAX.
