OpenVMS Crash on Starting DECnet Phase IV

[tuklusan]

Hi,

I am not sure this is an issue specific to my environment, but this happens on OpenVMS 8.4 (VSI) and 8.3 (HP). After installing DECnet Phase IV, attempting to start DECnet using sys$manager:startnet causes a OpenVMS machine check crash.

My complete instance of axpbox (with disk) is bzip2'd 208M; please let me know where I can upload it privately. I am running Linux opensuse 4.20.12-1-default #1 SMP Mon Feb 25 06:04:48 UTC 2019 (5cf91fd) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux, and the OpenVMS crash text is:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM

OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V8.4-2L1 - BUGCHECK ****

Bugcheck code = 00000215: MACHINECHK, Machine check while in kernel mode**

Thanks Supratim

Hi Supratim,

Thank you for reporting this problem. From the description it seems to be reproducable - I'll try that once I get to it.

Just to add a quick note. In case it was a VMS 8.4-2L1 issue I tried it with a V7.3-2 system as well. Same bugcheck when starting DECnet IV with a machine check from NETACP. IP and clustering work fine, BTW.

Same problem - no progress :(
