4953.0. "V7.0 LAT problem ?" by CSC32::MAULUCCI () Fri Mar 28 1997 17:27

    A customer I am working with has the following topology:

    All of the nodes shown are running v7.0 AXP OVMS. Customer also has
    3  nodes running v6.2 VAX OVMS. ALL of the nodes are cluster members.


    The table below shows which nodes can connect to one another, and which
    can not connect without getting a "%LAT-F-PROTERR, communication
    protocol error" message.

    All of the nodes can connect via LAT to / from the V6.2 nodes.  The
    below table shows which V7.0 nodes can connect and which can not:




            chip    snoopy    opus     blondie      dale
    snoopy    ok        -        ok       ok          ok

    chip      -        no        no       ok          ok

    opus      ok       no        -        ok          ok

    blondie   no       no       no        -          ok

    dale      no       no       no       ok          -



    All of the counters look real clean, is there a known problem with the
    LAT driver in VMS 7.0?

    Gene

    I have added a trace below:

    frame #46 appears to contain unknown parameters which may be the cause
    of the subsequent illegal format disconnect.  seems to me v7.0 should
    be able to talk with another v7.0 OpenVMS Alpha system using set
    host/lat.  I would recommend escalating this call...
