RE: cross cluster read fails

[Nico.Baggus]

Title: Message

Hi,

 

The filename consists of:

 

A-XY12::XYZ1:[ABC.DEF.XYZ]ASDF.CSV

 

Where A-XY12:: is a nodename

XYZ1: is the device on that node

 

and [ABC.DEF.XYZ] is the path etc.

 

 

The exist status is: %SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available

 

I guess that there is a problem with the logical or disk XYZ1 on system A-XY12 that you try to access

using decnet.

 

This has very little to do with clustering as such.

Within a cluster effectively all storage devices (disks at least, tapes optional) are shared and accessible among the

cluster members. Any member can access all that shared storage concurrently at will. There is no need to use

DECnet to get from one node to another to access a file. (The disk should be mounted on the node where you

try to access the file ofcourse)

 

 

 

Kind regards,

Nico Baggus

Subject: cross cluster read fails

Hi

I am new to VMS and Perl.
I have a VMS command procedure that calls a PErl script with 2 parameters A- filename of the input file B- Filename of the output file. The perl script reads the input file A, processes it (removes spaces,etc) and puts this data in file B in the CSV format.

When File A is on my local directory, the program works fine.

When file A is a file on another cluster, the program fails with the following error (these may not be the exact words)
"Fatal VMS error (status=2312), PERLKIT:[SOURCE]VMS.C;1 at line 5962 at t.perl line 5" No such device
I give the entire pathname for file A-XY12::XYZ1:[ABC.DEF.XYZ]ASDF.CSV

Line 5 in t.pl is the line which tries to open file A.

My question is
Is it not possible for PErl to read a file from another cluster (cross cluster read)??

Would appreciate your reply.

Thanks & Regards,
Samina
