(Sorry if you're seeing this twice. I don't think it got out the first time)
Hi all,
We recently tried to upgrade one of our 11/780's to VMS 4.6 from 4.5, but
we ran into a problem:
We have two DMF-32's, which we use for terminal ports and the Sync ports.
At System startup, the Sync ports are supposed to be configure, two on each
DMF-32. For some reason, however, only the first of the four ports gets
configured. We have tried everything, even changing the device names, but
it just can't find the other ports. Has anyone else run into this problem?
The driver we're trying to use is CONINTERR (for HASP). We also have
several Emulex boards, which are used for terminal ports.
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ted Corning

Well, for starters, the catalogue says that a DMF32 has only one sync. port, not two, so if you have two boards then you have two sync. ports, not four. If you were told otherwise, you may wish to speak sharply to your sales rep. Second, do you have anything plugged into the ports in question? I presume that DMF32 initialization at boot time is very like that for the DMB32, and a DMB32 sync. port is *not* configured unless it seems to be connected to something. (We found this out the hard way, after hours of fiddling with DECnet and a call to Colorado!) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Mark H.
