We are running CM V1.5 (CONSOLEECO1015 applied) on a VAX/VMS V6.1 host with TELNET links to DEC OSF/1 systems, including a DECpc AXP150 and DEC 3000/800 OSF/1 V2.0B client systems connected to a DECserver 700. We can successfully shutdown/startup the DECpc AXP 150 system from the CM VAX Host with the connection staying up correctly once this client system boots. However, with a DEC 3000/800 OSF/1 client system connected to the same DECserver 700 (with matching port characteristics as the DECpc AXP 150), we experience the following problem: Once we perform a # shutdown -r now from a C3 window, we lose the CM TELNET connection even after the DEC 3000/800 system has rebooted. The only way to recover is to shutdown the CM software and restart it - ugh! Any ideas? Our test seems to rule out any problem with the DEC OSF/1 operating system itself. Please advise. \Thanks in Advance

I want to make sure I understand you. You click a CONNECT window
from the C3 and you are entering shutdown -r now in the
CONNECT window correct?

There must be *something* different with the consoles on these two
systems then. Do you have a VMS disk on these systems that you could
boot from or do you have an OpenVMS AXP 6.1 distribution that you could
use to boot the standalone VMS environment from? I would like to
see if you still lose the link when booted into VMS.
Regs,

Tom, You dont have modem signals on this system do you, this is the only thing I can think of that would cause the symptoms you are seeing, however, you should not have to shutdown PCM it should recover the connection itself. Cheers, Phil | |||||

re: .2
Phil, thanks for suggesting that we check the modem control parameter
which was enabled rather than disabled. Once we disabled modem control
the shutdown/startup cycle worked fine.
Many thanks!!
Tom Z.
