Hello all,
I am new to OpenVMS and below is my query
I have a DS25 and XP1000(satellite node) clustered with a common environment, no quorum disk and running openVMS v7.3-1. I am trying to add a new node (EV68 DS25) as a satellite node.
They are on Ethernet lan, running Decnet Plus and Alphas.All machines are in the same room.
I have started the procedure of Cluster_config (on clustered node DS25) and have bunch of options and questions.
My basic objective to add an Alpha node to the clustered (common system disk) environment
Now I went to the clustered node and ran cluster_config (with Lancp) and choose (1) Add node
Then it asked is this node to be a clustered node with SCSI/FIBRE CHANNEL ? Yes (I have lan so in the cluster example they mentioned yes)
What is the node's SCS node name?: PLUTO (new terminal EV68)
What is the node's full decnet name?: (Can I give any name here for e.g [.DISK3]
what is the Mop name [PLUTO]? "accepted default"
Does PLUTO need to be registered [N]? YES
(As I had not registered this before)
Ran through some operations
What is the Cluster Alias fullname?
I still have to read more about what Cluster Alias mean? hence I have stopped here. and gave Ctrl Y and aborted.
I would specifically like to know more about the above Alias fullname (an example related to my case) and whether MOP name is fine. as I could not get a clear understanding from the manuals.
If you are wondering about the status of new terminal EV68
Then I just recently started the FIS procedure for V 7.3-2 and started the system. I haven't done anything to it. I just want it to be a satellite node so I don't think this operating system or the system disk on EV68 is needed. In a nutshell I just want to have one system disk as before.
Any suggestions you can give will be very helpful
Thanks a lot
