Very early in the OpenVMS startup sequence, VMS builds the LLA (Lan
failover) devices. Can someone tell me which file(s) the startup code
gets the information from to do that ?

SYS$SYSTEM:LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE.DAT

Ian Miller used his keyboard to write :
That's also what I was thinking. But no. Let me explain.

I have a system disk residing on a SAN that I must be able to boot
from two different hardwares. One is a BL870, the other is an RX2800.
So I built two different LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE.DAT files, one for each
config, and before reboot, we put in place the one that will be in
effect after the reboot. Should work, right ? Well, it doesn't. The
RX2800 has only EIxx devices, the BL870 has EIxx and EWxx ones. If
I'm on the blade, rename files to reboot on the RX, I still see EXxx
devices in the LAN config after the reboot.

Also, in the doc, it is said that this file can be moved to an other
location by defining a logical name. But how can that work when the
LLA formation is done so early in the boot sequence, way before DCL
even exists ?

A quick bit of research shows LANACP started from VMS$DEVICE_STARTUP after SYCONFIG and SYLOGICALS.COM have been executed. As far as I know LANACP is the process that reads the LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE and creates the LL devices.

on 17/03/2023, Ian Miller supposed :
I don't think so. As far as I can see, it happens much earlier, way
before SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM begins execution. I'm not at work today,
so I can't get to my systems, but next monday I will post a console
log showing that.

Marc,

you remember $ SET WATCH FILE/CLASS=MAJOR ( NOMAJOR to turn it off) ?

If you issue this command before invoking LANCP and change some settings on your LAN devices (i.e. defining a LAN failover set), you'll recognize this:

%XQP, Thread #0, Lookup LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE.SEQ;5 (11513,1,0) Status: 00000001
%XQP, Thread #0, Create/Access LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE.SEQ;6 (9733,1133,0) Status: 00000001

You'll find this file in SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE.SEQ

Give it a try and also provide a correct copy of that file before booting next time...

Volker.

Marc,

a confirmation (from the sources):

[SYSINI]SYSINIT may have to wait for LANACP - so this the link to your LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE.SEQ file. The LANACP_MAIN code has a path for opening that file using the primitive file system (used early during boot !).

Volker.

Volker Halle pretended :
I confirm that this works. The .SEQ file is updated each time a
permanent LAN database modification is performed, and this file stays
in SYS$SYSTEM even if logicals are used to move the .DAT file somewhere
else, so the system startup knows where to find it.

Thank you Volker.

Marc.

Here is a startup log showing that LLA devices are built way before
SYCONFIG and SYLOGICALS are executed :

Hi Marc Van Dyck,

It is LANACP that is run to create the LLx device along with VLx device early in boot
LANACP is both a server process started up by VMS$DEVICE_STARTUP.COM and
and image loaded during early boot to perform the network device creation and build.

I've had a conversation with Dick Stockdale about this a while ago.

The reason the LAN$DEVICE_DATABASE.SEQ had to be created in because when LANACP first runs early in boot there is no ability to process RMS indexed files.

Interestingly on X86 in system disk they have split the LANACP image into LANACP.exe and LANACP_BFS.exe and it is the latter along with the .SEQ file that reside on the Memory Disk with LANACP.exe and the.DAT file on the main system disk.

Cheers, Laurence

At a former client, we were using LAN failover. We had a series of
minor problems, and decided LAN failover configuration caused more
problems than it solved. We had one failure in the years we were using
that configuration, and it did work. However, it was too complicated;
which outweighed potential benefits. At a convenient time, we removed
the LAN failover, and had just one connection from the Itanic servers
to the network switch (we were using two independent network switches,
but they were in fact Cisco linked, so there was a single point of
failure. I don't believe the single EWA0 config ever caused a problem,
and it was much simpler. This was in a 3 node Itanium cluster.
