Fwd: Re: [HECnet] More clustering fun

It's all working nicely, but this is before an AUTOGEN. If I may I'll 
post the contents of the MODPARAMS.DAT and PARAMS.DAT to see if anyone 
recognises something bad.


So, how did you get from where you were to where you are now? Have you
recreated the system disk and got back to the point before you did the AUTOGEN?

If so and you suspect AUTOGEN is going to mess things up again, then
I suggest you record the system parameters before and after the AUTOGEN
(AUTOGEN without the shutdown and reboot phases, that is) and compare them.
Something like this:

$ DEFINE /USER SYS$OUTPUT BEFORE.TXT
$ MCR SYSGEN
SHOW /ALL
SHOW /SPECIAL
^Z
$
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS SETPARAMS NOFEEDBACK
$
$ DEFINE /USER SYS$OUTPUT AFTER.TXT
$ MCR SYSGEN
SHOW /ALL
SHOW /SPECIAL
^Z
$
$ DIFF BEFORE.TXT AFTER.TXT
$

If everything looks ok, you can then reboot to get the new sysgen parameters
take effect. If not, you have an opportunity to fix things before the
shutdown and reboot makes things much more difficult to fix.
