- Howdy folks,
-
- As the subject might suggest this question is about how to
- get the maximum users under Ultrix 4.2A to go from 2 to 32...
-
- Thus far I have installed 4.2A and brought it up to multiuser
- mode (multi in this case = 2), the maxuser setting in the config
- file of my host is 32, I have installed the Ultrix licence paks.
- I was also informed that a file /upgrade is needed to go to
- the 32 user liscence, which I rcp'd from a DECStation of similar
- pedigree (5000/120).
-
- Now for the fun bit. I installed off an optical drive. When I remove
- the drive from the scsi chain, the system crashes on boot, with a cpu
- panic. When I put the drive back, the system boots to multiuser mode
- but still with only two users maximum. Weird huh? Perhaps not. If you
- can see the stupid thing that I am doing... please tell me...
-
- Also, to kill two birds with one stone, we have a drive failure a few
- days ago. Unfortunately I have lost the piece of paper with the errors
- that I had xscribbled down. The main part of it came to the fact that
- sectors 16-31 could not be read... Any ideas, utils that can get at a disk
- known to anyone...
-
- Thanks a lot.
