- There are two databases permanent (in disk) and volatile (in memory). When
- DECnet starts up, the permanent database is used to initialize the volatile
- database. When you used SET NODE you updated the volatile database on the node
- you are on. When you used DEFINE NODE you updated the permanent database. But
- you didn't update the volatile database on any other node. You need to either
- restart DECnet on each other machine (yech), or issue the following commands on
- each other node:
-
- NCP> clear node xyz
- NCP> set node xyz all
-
- The first command clears the node from the volatile database, the second copies
- the node info from the permanent database into the volatile database. So to do
- it on every node, try something like this (untested):
-
- $ NCP
- NCP> purge node xyz all
- NCP> def node xyz 512
- NCP> exit
-
- $ mc sysman
- SYSMAN> set environment/cluster
- SYSMAN> do ncp clear node xyz all
- SYSMAN> do ncp set node xyz all
- SYSMAN> exit
-
- Apologies if any of this is wrong. I'm sure someone will say so. :-)
