Article 107491 of comp.os.vms: I had a neat little program on VAX which interrogated the DAD devices to discover which services were available, and mount them clusterwide (using locks). The problematical bit is: $qio( chan := dadchan, func := io$_virtual+io$m_access, iosb := iosb, p1 := buff80, p2 := SIZE(buff80), p3 := %x10000*seq + code); Code is 2 to get servers, 3 to get services on those servers, seq steps from 0 So call this with 2 to get first infoserver, then 3 to get first service, %x10003 for second, %x20003 for third and so on, then %x10002 for the second infoserver etc. This worked well on VAX - all you had to do was put a CD in a drive, and within a minute or so it was mounted clusterwide, with no intervention. On Alpha it gives %SYSTEM-F-ILLIOFUNC (as a return status, not an iosb status). Anyone know how to fix it for Alpha please ? [VAX VMS 6.1, Alpha VMS 6.2] Thanks, Chris Sharman
