Hello;
In my quest to try to see what the problem is with my vs/60, I want to convert it into a
networked stand-alone machine, i.e. not use clustering at all. What is the easiest way to
do this? I still want it to do DECnet and TCPIP.
Carlos.
The easiest way is to turn clustering off, so if the machine?s running press the HALT
button then from the Dead Sergeant prompt (>>>) do this:
>> B/1 (or B/R5:1)

VAXCLUSTER 0
SYSBOOT> C
This will boot as a single node and let you log in assuming your SYSUAF.DAT isn?t on a
clustered drive. If it is add this command after SET VAXCLUSTER 0:
SYSBOOT> SET UAFALT 1
This bypasses the main system authorisation file and lets you log in as SYSTEM with no
password. Usually. The caveat emptor here is if the previous owners also used a SYSUAF_ALT
file in which case it gets a little more complex.
