After installing Compaq TCP/IP on my OpenVMS 7.3 SIMH image, TCP/IP was not starting when the node was rebooted.
To resolve this, I performed the following steps. First, ensure you have assumed your privileged identity (or just log in as SYSTEM):
|
1 |
$ SET PROCESS/PRIVILEGES=ALL |
Next, edit SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:
|
1 |
$ EDIT SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM |
Find the following line, and uncomment it (by removing the leading $! comment sequence):
|
1 |
$!$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$STARTUP.COM |
Save and exit the editor (with Control-Z). Now, you can either reboot the node
|
1 |
$ REBOOT |
or just start the services manually for now:
|
1 |
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$STARTUP |
It’s worth noting that the following command will shut down TCP/IP:
|
1 |
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$SHUTDOWN |
It’s also worth noting that individual services can be restarted using the following format, just substitute TELNET for the service you wish to act upon:
|
1 2 |
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$TELNET_SHUTDOWN.COM $ @SYS$STARTUP:TCPIP$TELNET_STARTUP.COM |
