From: ken@cit-vax (Kenneth Adelman) We are running VMS V4.0 with three -750s on a cluster with an HSC50 conrolling 3 RA81s, and each machine has an RA81 on a UDA50 as a local disk. In the boot, each machine MOUNT/SYSTEMs the HSC disks, MOUNT/SYSTEM the disk which are served by the other machines, and MOUNT/CLUSTERS it's system disk again to make it available to the others. The SYSGEN flags to inhibit rebuilding the system disk before it is set /SERVED is off, as per the release notes. The problem: If all machines are turned off and booted in any order all the disks get mounted on all the machines. However, if one machine crashes, the others show the served disk an "HostUnavailable". When the host comes back up, the disk shows a mount verification in progress and then "MvTimeOut". Diskmount and remounting by hand removes this. Any ideas?
