892.0. "DEFZA, 4000-90 and CLUSTER" by FRSCS::ULRICH (Ergo bibamus) Mon Mar 08 1993 09:53

Hi all,

one customer of us has a problem with the follwing configuration:
3 x VS4000-90, VMS V5.5-2. Two of the three machines have a TURBOchannel
with DEFZA (FDDI) controller.

A "$ SH DEVICE FC" shows FCA0: and FCA1: online on both of these machines.
The green leds on the FDDI-adapters are light.

Here is the config:


	-----------------	----------------
	|               |       |              |
	|   4000-90     |       |  4000-90     |
	|    Satellite  |       |    Satellite |
	|       |-------|       |-------|      |
	--------+ DEFZA |	| DEFZA +-------
              | |--------       --------| |
              |     |    (fddi)     |     |
              |     \---------------/     |
              |                           |
  |-----------------------------------------------------|
                      |              (ethernet)
                      |
		---------------
       		|             |
       		| 4000-90     |
       		|   Server    |
       		|             |
       		---------------


The question is: Will the cluster software communicate via
the FDDI connection ? Doing a "$ SHOW CLUSTER/CONT" and a 
" > ADD CIRC" shows that the cluster is only communicating
via ETHERNET. Nothing shows something about a FDDI device
being used by cluster software.

Is this a config problem ? Will the cluster software communicate
via FDDI ? is the configuration supported ?

Any hints are very welcome !!!!
