Is this a hobbyist system?

A quorum disk should only be used in a configuration where all voting nodes in the cluster can directly connect to it. For Itanium, this means either a SAN or shared SCSI bus.

From the sound of it, the Server C EFI bios boot setup is not the same as the server it replaced. And with out knowing details of your configuration it will be hard to diagnose.

If this is a business, I would recommend hiring a consultant to help you understand and properly set up your system for reliable operation.

The cluster settings for ServerC depend on what your boot configuration is.

If you are running a common boot disk, you have to set the EFI boot flags to select the proper root on boot.

If you are running independent boot disks, then you need to make sure that you are booting into the correct disk.

No more VAX hobbyist licenses. Community licenses for Alpha/IA64/X86_64 VMS Software Inc. Commercial VMS software licenses for VAX available from HPE.

Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?

I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner

Anyone know what happened to FAFNER.DYNDS.ORG? I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.

At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.

Eisner, which is currently being moved, got an SSH update and the keys were updated to more modern encryption standards.
