Starting MONITOR server process?

» close window

The Question is:

 
How do you start the Monitor Server on a node on a cluster? I have 3 nodes
in a cluster. The nodes are HNAA, HNAB and HNAC.
On node HNCA you can monitor HNAA and HNAB. On HNAA and HNAB you can not
monitor HNAC. I have checked the startup file ect and can not find the
correct way to start the Monitor Server on Node HNAC.
 
Thanks
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The DECnet-based MONITOR server process (VPM) is available by default
  on OpenVMS systems with DECnet configured, and the VPM image should
  start up automatically when an incoming connection from MONITOR running
  on a remote node is requested.  (The usual OpenVMS username for the VPM
  process is VPM$SERVER.)
 
  IP-based VPM server operations do require that a startup procedure:
 
    SYS$STARTUP:VPM$STARTUP.COM
 
  be invoked in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.  For details on this, please see the
  SYSTARTUP_VMS.TEMPLATE.  (This startup procedure is not required for
  MONITOR operations using DECnet protocols.)
 
  As for troubleshooting the existing problem, first check for problems
  in the SYLOGIN.COM and any VPM-visible LOGIN.COM, and look around for
  log files created by the login (in the default directory for VPM$SERVER
  or the particular username specified by NCP or NCL), check for any
  relevent information in the accounting and auditing logs.  Then -- if
  these steps do not make the cause and the resolution clear -- please
  contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for assistance.  (Expect to
  be asked for the specific error messages reported by MONITOR, and for
  various related details surrounding the failure.)
