I've seen this kind of thing before, but cannot authoritatively answer it.
Is something just stuck in cache until the next week?

  RFC: Switching to WASD after 15 yrs with OSU...         


Author: Jan-Erik Söderholm
Date: Jul 13, 2008 13:49

Hi.

After 15 yrs with the OSU http server, I'm now
thinking of switching to the WASD server instead.
Mostly becuse the WASD server seem to be more
actively developed and since JFP's (Jean-François
PIÉRONNE) very nice Python distribution seems to
have a closer connection and better integration
with WASD then OSU.

Now, is there any reason I should make this switch ?

Bets regards,
Jan-Erik.

PS: Yes, I know about "secure web server" also, but
I think both OSU and WASD are more VMS-ish then
Apache...

Hi,

I am using OpenVMS for a year now and I was wondering what kind of
certifications are available for it. I mean i have been working by
logging in remotely through powerterm/putty I haven't even seen an
alpha (the one I work on is in a different country :P). Do you guys
have any suggestions for me?
Thank you in advance.

There isn't much in Middle-of-Nowhere, Minnesota besides Digi-Key.
Postal employees there may be less corrupt than those in, say, Newark,
however, which may give them an advantage in shiping.

  VAX 7000 cameo appearance         


Author: FrankS
Date: Jul 12, 2008 09:40

I was watching the premier episode of "Burn Notice" the other night
and they had a couple of VAX 7000-series systems as props. Complete
with a StorageWorks cabinet containing four TZ8x7 libraries.

The story line was that the computer system was super-secure and the
bad guys kidnapped the family of the computer wiz that designed the
software. So they were forcing him to break into the system and
download files.

The systems were in a sealed room with big windows. You could see
they had installed some non-stock blinking lights to demonstrate that
the systems were computing *something*. It was pretty funny.

Anyway, before the end of the episode the VAXen get obliterated in a
hail of gunfire.

Where's our USPS VMS advocate? Please tell me that this is _NOT_ a VMS
foul up. How does the USPS foul up routing like this?

A package, sent priority overnite from Warminster, Pa to Jackson, proNJ
(a distance of approximately 50 miles) on the 8th of July, is STILL NOT
here?

Label/Receipt Number: 9101 7850 9140 1639 8149 11
Detailed Results:

Processed, July 12, 2008, 12:11 am, TRENTON, NJ 08650
Processed, July 11, 2008, 1:04 pm, KEARNY, NJ 07099
Processed, July 10, 2008, 10:27 pm, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19176
Electronic Shipping Info Received, July 08, 2008

Warminster to Philly I understand, but then to Northern proNJ (Kearny) to
go back to Trenton (across the river from Philly)? What next? Hamilton
facility for a nuking before I get it? That should render it useless up-
on arrival.

  Q: Configure TCP/IP Services for a node not yet booted?         


Author: Ken.Fairfield
Date: Jul 11, 2008 12:10

I'm in the middle of a migration of our VMS cluster from
Multinet 4.4A to TCP/IP Services 5.4ECO7 under VMS 7.3-2
on GS1280's. We have 3 production nodes and one
non-production node in the cluster.

1) I've created a second system disk (backup/image from
the cluster system disk);
2) I've booted the non-prod node from the new system disk;
3) I've installed TCP/IP Services on the new system disk
and done TCPIP$CONFIG for the non-prod node;
4) Rebooted the non-prod node with Multinet disabled and
TCPIP$STARTUP enabled.

So far so good, the non-prod node is running TCP/IP Services
with no problems.

QUESTION: Is there a way to configure the interfaces for
the production nodes on the new system disk
*before* each of the production nodes boots
from that disk.
