ask the wizard

DECnet-Plus Cluster Alias?

» close window

The Question is:

 
We have the following configuration:
- 2 AlphaServer DS20
- OpenVMS V7.1-2
- VMS Cluster
- Decnet-Plus V7.1-ECHO4
- UCX V4.2-21
 
We cannot use the Cluster Alias Feature.
Is there any solution (without using a Vax or a Router ?)
 
Thank you for your help.
Regards.

The Answer is :

 
  Your statement "we cannot use the Cluster Alias Feature" does not
  indicate the particular problem that you are encountering.
 
  The OpenVMS Wizard will assume this is a licensing issue.
 
  In this configuration, the DECnet-Plus license PAK DVNETEXT (for
  DECnet-Plus on OpenVMS Alpha) or DVNETRTG (for OpenVMS VAX) will
  be required for support of the cluster alias.

  Use of the cluster alias typically requires the presence of a router.
  (DECnet-Plus does supports host-based routing, which is useful for
  the cluster alias feature.)
