Problem with Decnet on rsx11M plus.
m...@mancausoft.org
I put it on simh (on linux) and installed DECnet V4.6.
Start decnet (with @NETINS), but I have an error message
every about 50 second:
Event type 5.13, Initialization failure
Occurred 28-AUG-11 21:12:51 on node 5.10 (MARVIN)

Why? Any suggestion?

well. It would help if you check for any simh messages when it starts.
Apart from that, I'm not sure I've tried running simh with a simulated
Unibus machine. Normally I run with a Qbus setup, since that will be
more efficient.
(I do run real Unibus machines, though.)

yes as root.
PDP-11 simulator V3.8-1
Disabling XQ
Listening on port 12323 (socket 4)
Eth: opened eth0

I tryed XQ and XU, same problem. I think is a simh problem, I tryed
with e11 and it work:
>NCP SET EXE STA ON
Event type 2.0, Local node state change
Occurred 29-AUG-11 19:25:55 on node 5.10 (MARVIN)
Reason for state change: Operator command, Old node state = Off
New node state = On
Event type 4.10, Circuit up
Occurred 29-AUG-11 19:25:56 on node 5.10 (MARVIN)
Circuit UNA-0
I send email on simh mailing list with the problem description.

Da i.d.c.tutela:
P.S. Quando ci sarà lo switch-off, avrò problemi anche col
monitor del PC? Ho visto che è collegato in modalità analogica.

That, atleast, sounds good.

Well, you do know that Unibus and Qbus machines are different, so you
need to do a SYSGEN and NETGEN in between in case you switch? It is not
enough to just change the line name, since the ethernet controllers for
the two buses are not program compatible at all.
Maybe it would help with the simh config file here?
Thinking of it, I have actually run simh with a simulated
Unibus-machine, and using ethernet, and it works fine. Did it on MacOS X
and not Linux, though.

YEs, I run @sysgen and @netgen to change from unibus and qbus.

I resolve the problem using simh 3.8-2-rc2 from mailing list.

I wouldn't have expected it to be "enabled" in the first place. Or maybe
that message comes out no matter what the current state is?

Ok. So problem solved now? Great.

I think you should set the MAC address to a value outside the DECnet
range.
Like: SET XU MAC=08-00-2b-00-12-34
