-
- What type of VAXcluster??? What is the specific configuration???? Do all
- the other nodes BOOT????
-
- How many nodes???
-
- You say the rest of the cluster runs VMS 5.4-2, What version of VMS does the
- VAX4500 run???
-
- I would READ the error message. "UNKNOWN OR UNSUPPORTED PROCESSOR!" would seem
- to indicate the nature of the problem....

- A VAX processor must be running at least VMS 5.5 to utilize RF73 drives,
- perhaps a 4500 needs 5.5-2, that still doesn't really give me enough
- information to offer you any help???
-
- It would be real nice if you posted an E-MAIL address so people could direct
- mail to you directly. Notice mine at the bottom of this posting!!!

-
- For all the folks out there complaining about the flames! The above is a
- prime example of not giving out enough information such that anyone could
- possibly attempt to give a reasonable answer to the question. The person
- whom posted this should look at the error message, it would seem to be a
- sure clue as to the problem!
-
- Please post questions with CLEAR, COMPLETE, CONSISE information and so that the
- good people of this list can help you!
