- I confront a problem after a fatal fault of a VAX3800 ( power supply failed).
- The whole backplane unit has been replaced. When I try to boot the system,
- the audit server is started, all other third party softwares' license
- are successfully load, the last message on the console shows the VAX-VMS
- license has been successfully loaded, and then the system hangs forever.
- No activity is found in the disk i/o.
- But I can boot the system into single user mode or "mini" mode.
-
- Problem 1: What is the next step which hangs the system?
-
- I suspect the license database was corrupted during the power supply failure,
- so I rename the LMF$LICENSE.LDB to another name and them try to boot the
- system, the message shows the license management facility is not started,
- login is allowed in OPA0. Then I rename the LMF$LICENSE.LDB back to the
- original name. After this step, I can not get the license management facility
- to be started any more. It always goes to the single user mode no matter how
- I specify the boot flag.
-
- Problem 2: What's wrong? Does re-installing the auth-pak be the only solution
- to recover to the previous state?
