Advanced Server BDC ERROR_BAD_NETPA?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I have just installed Advanced Server from the OpenVMS 7.2-1 CD on one of our
 DS10 Alphas.
 
The whole installation ran without any problems.
Advanced Server was configures and was set up as a BDC in our NT domain. I
 could create an account for the new system ALPHA1.
Advanced Server seems to start up without problems.
After the Alpha was rebooted, the Alpha lost the connection to the NT domain
 and I don't seem to be able to get it back. At that time I changed the
 security model from Advanced Server only to Advanced Server and OpenVMS
 because people could log in under O
penVMS with the other setting.
 
If I try to give any command in the Administrator, I get a error like this:
 
ALPHA1$ administrator
GALLUP_DENMARK\\ALPHA1> sh share
%PWRK-E-ERRGETSRV, error getting server information for "ALPHA1"
-LM-E-ERROR_BAD_NETPA, the network path cannot be located
 
GALLUP_DENMARK\\ALPHA1>
 
TCPIP is up and running.

Advanced Server V7.2A for OpenVMS Configuration Procedure
 
Shutting down the currently running server(s)...
    The Advanced Server stores and accesses the following
    types of data files:
 
    o Configuration parameter files
    o License server data files
    o Log files
    o Printer spool files
    o Virtual memory section files
 
    You can specify any existing OpenVMS disk device that has at least
    5000 free blocks of disk space to store these data files.
 
    Note: The server frequently accesses the data files stored on the
    disk.  If these files are stored on the system disk, it can degrade
    the performance of both the OpenVMS system and the server.  Therefore,
    Digital recommends that you specify a disk other than the system disk.
 
Press RETURN to continue:
 
    If this OpenVMS cluster has multiple system disks, make sure that all
    nodes on which you plan to run the Advanced Server:
 
    o Use the same disk device to store and access Advanced Server
      data files.
 
    o Share the same SYSUAF.DAT file. In each system disk's startup file,
      define a system logical name that points all nodes to the shared
      SYSUAF.DAT file. For example:
 
      $ define/system/exec sysuaf pencil$dka300:[sys0.sysexe]sysuaf.dat
 
      The startup file is called SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM
 
    The Advanced Server directory tree already exists on ALPHA1$DKB600:.
    If you specify a different disk device, the Advanced Server directory
    tree will be moved to the new device.
 
Enter disk device name where the Advanced Server data files will be stored

    ALPHA1 is currently configured to
        + support 30 PC clients
        + use the following transport(s): NetBEUI, TCP/IP
 
    If you want this server to be the primary domain controller, you should
    configure it to use all the transports used by any of the backup servers
    in the domain.
 
    If you want this server to be a backup domain controller, you should
    configure it to have at least one transport in common with the domain's
    primary domain controller, otherwise this configuration will fail.
 
    If you do not change the configuration parameters now, you may do so
    later by typing ADMIN/CONFIG.

  You are missing the PWRK$LMSRV, PWRK$LMBROWSER, and PWRK$LMMCP processes.
  Something is clearly failing, and causing problems for these three
  processes.  Look in the PWRK$LMLOGS area for the files PWRK$LMSRV_node.log,
  PWRK$LMMCP_node.log, one of these files can potentially contain some
  interesting information related to the error(s).  These messages might
  give you a hint as to the cause.
 
  If you are unable to resolve the problem based on the log files, then
  please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center directly, as additional
  information will be required,  Please be sure to preserve the contents
  of the failing logs, as this information will likely be required for
  resolution.
