- I'm having a problem creating a print queue on a terminal server. We have
- a VAX 8350 and 2 MicroVAX II's clustered. This isn't the first device
- configured this way--we have two other LN03's on a terminal server port.
- I'm trying to follow that COM file and the instructions in the _Maintaning
- a VMS manual, but it doesn't seem to work.
-
- Here's a journal of the session. All input is sent to the boot node of the
- cluster. Is there something I have to do from the satellite nodes to make
- this work?
-
- Create a port
-
- $ run sys$system:latcp
- LCP> create port lta7738: /nolog
- LCP> set port lta7738: /application /node=lat773 /port=port_8
-
- Local Port Name = LTA7738: <application>
-
- Specified Remote Node Name = LAT773
- Specified Remote Port Name = PORT_8
- Link Name = LAT$LINK
-
- LCP> exit
-
- $ set terminal lta7738:/perm/dev=ln03/lowercase/nobroad/width=255
-
- set protection so only the symbiont can access them
-
- $ set protection=(s:rwlp,o,g,w) /device lta7738:
-
- set up spooling
-
- $ set device lta7738: /spooled=(lntest,sys$sysdevice:)
-
- define a form
-
- $ define/form ln_form 10 /width=80 /stock=default /truncate
-
- initialize the queue
-
- $ initialize/queue /processor=latsym /default=(form=default) -
- _$ /record_blocking /retain=error /library=sysdevctl -
- _$ /sep=(reset=(ln03_reset)) /form=ln_form /start lntest /on=lta7738:
-
-
- Make sure we got a queue. Looks OK.
-
- $ show queue lntest
- Terminal queue LNTEST, on CDV::LTA7738:, mounted form LN_FORM (stock=DEFAULT)
-
- Try it.
- $ print /queue=lntest login.com
- Job LOGIN (queue LNTEST, entry 720) started on LNTEST
- $ show que lntest
- Terminal queue LNTEST, on CDV::LTA7738:, mounted form DEFAULT
-
- Jobname Username Entry Blocks Status
- ------- -------- ----- ------ ------
- LOGIN REUBER 720 6 Printing
-
- Check the queue a few seconds later. Now it's stalled
-
- $ show que lntest
- Terminal queue LNTEST, stalled, on CDV::LTA7738:, mounted form DEFAULT
-
- Jobname Username Entry Blocks Status
- ------- -------- ----- ------ ------
- LOGIN REUBER 720 6 Printing
-
- Wait a few seconds, then check again.
-
- $ show que lntest
- Terminal queue LNTEST, paused, stalled, on CDV::LTA7738:, mounted form DEFAULT
-
- Jobname Username Entry Blocks Status
- ------- -------- ----- ------ ------
- LOGIN REUBER 720 6 Retained on error
- %JBC-F-JOBABORT, job aborted during execution
-
- We've also tried unspooling the printer and copying a file directly to the
- device, which also fails. This leads me to believe that there's some sort
- of connetion or cabling problem, but we've changed cables, etc. Is there
- something in this startup procedure that we're doing wrong?
