- | We have a LAVC running VMS 5.5-2. It is a single system disk cluster.

- Dan,

- You should make your change(s) to the permanent database via an
- NCP PURGE/DEFINE on a single node. Then use SYSMAN to update everyone's
- volatile database using NCP CLEAR/SET.
-
- So if you want to get rid of node XYZ, then re-add it with addr 5.10 (per your
- example):
-
- $ MC NCP
- NCP> PURGE NODE XYZ ALL
- NCP> DEF NODE XYZ ADDR 5.10
- NCP> ^Z
- $ MC SYSMAN
- SYSMAN> SET ENV/CLUS
- SYSMAN> DO MC NCP CLEAR NODE XYZ ALL
- SYSMAN> DO MC NCP SET NODE XYZ ADDR 5.10
- SYSMAN> ^Z
-
- I hope the above has been helpful. If you need further assistance,
- please feel free to call Bob Gezelter. :-)
