SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

Shared SCSI Ok..
Took off the both aphastations from the SCSI bus - it did work well on Diana, so the problem was indeed somewhere around there. I replaced the KZPBA by KZPSA, and realized I had to change the SCSI-id - per system. Dido (the first one to handle since that was on top of the stack) could now access the HSZ50 as well and all disks, without a problem.
but rebuilding the cluster fails!
Next was to try to add Dido into the cluster - as a server, not a satelite - by running cluster_config. A new root is than created, and all goes, booting Dido from that new root is no problem at all - until the membership is requested. It takes a long time and a lot of attempts until a connection to Diana is esatblised - but that is the end. The system may try and try and try for hours, but no answer from Diana...
I did the same with Daphne but again, there is that failure adding itself into the cluster.

So it's quite a challenge to create a singele-disk, non-satelite cluster!
Therefore: single upgrade...
Since there is a rather recent backup of Diana's system disk, I decided to upgrade anyway. It saves a lot of work! The same has to be done with Dido - and DECNet must be handled - some connectyion seemed to be lost and there is a vast amount of messages.
Also, waht could be de-installed using PROD has been done (Some languages, not all), and I copied a number of packages to install from CD to disk - space enough.
