    	Hi folks,
    	
    	I'm experiencing a strange copy problem using a simple procedure
    	from a 3 hosts AS8400 cluster(A)* running OSI 6.3ECO6/OpenVMS V6.2-1H2 
    	to onother cluster(B)* with 3 AS8200 running the same version of VMS
    	and OSI (* where A and B are the cluster alias).
    	Both clusters are in the same LAN connected to a DEChub900 via
    	FDDI. 
    	
    	From cluster (B) copying continiously a file to cluster (A) I 
    	receive (randomly) the following error message: 
    
    	$copy/log/noconf USER_DISK:[directory]file.ext B"":: 
    	%COPY-S-COPIED, USER_DISK:[directory]file.ext  copied to
    	B""::SYS$SPECIFIC:[FAL$SERVER]file.txt
    
    	$copy/log/noconf USER_DISK:[directory]file.ext B"":: 
    	%COPY-E-WRITEERR, error writing B""::SYS$SPECIFIC:[FAL$SERVER]file.ext
    	-RMS-F-SYS, QIO system service request failed
    	-SYSTEM-F-PATHLOST, path to network partner node lost
    	%COPY-W-NOTCMPLT, USER_DISK:[directory]file.ext not completely copied
    
    	$copy/log/noconf USER_DISK:[directory]file.ext B"":: 
    	%COPY-S-COPIED, USER_DISK:[directory]file.ext  copied to
    	B""::SYS$SPECIFIC:[FAL$SERVER]file.txt
    
    	.
    	.
    	.
    	and so on 
    
    	Replacing the cluster alias (B) with the remote host name the 
    	copy is successfully.
    	Also the same copy operation from cluster A to cluster B works fine.	
    
    	Thanx for any ideas,	
    	/Mba.
