SYSMGR: 23-Jan-2006

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.

Getting on
A short time could be used to get Diana to work using the new system disk. DNS and DHCP work after small adjustments. SMTP and POP configuration copied and processes restarted. Sending mail from Diana is no problem, sending mail to Diana inside the domain will start the receiving process but it will hang (MUTEX) and disappear after some time - and the sender will gets a message sending failed. Mail from outside the domain isn't received at all. POP doesn't work either - but that might be a user configuration issue.
Set up the cluster address, but it's not yet in DNS.

Since it still doesn't work properly, rebooted back after two hours - there were other issues that required attention.
