I used LICENSE MODIFY/INCLUDE=ASTVAX vmscluster to add in the "main" 
(simh) node, but not the new microvax node - now corrected. However, the 
VMSCLUSTER licence still won't load properly on either node.

On the MicroVAX:

  $ SHOW LICENSE/FULL VMSCLUSTER

  Active licenses on node MV0001:

  VMSCLUSTER
          Producer: DEC
          Units: 0
          Version: 0.0
          Release Date: (none)
          Termination Date: 12-JAN-2011
          Availability: 0
          Activity: 100

  $_

Exactly the same appears on the simh unit, except the node name is 
ASTVAX instead.

If I do LICENSE LIST/FULL VMSCLUSTER, I get this:

  License Management Facility  V1.2

  License Database File:       SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB;1

  Include:                     ASTVAX,MV0001
 
So, it all looks OK, as far as I can tell; it just won't work...


Also, periodically, I'm seeing this error on both consoles:

  %%%%%%%%%%%  OPCOM   7-JAN-2010 19:05:38.89  %%%%%%%%%%%
  Message from user SYSTEM on ASTVAX
  Event: Too Few Servers Detected from: Node LOCAL:.ASTVAX DTSS,
          at: 2010-01-07-19:05:38.890+00:00Iinf
          Number Detected=0, 
          Number Required=1
          eventUid   A4BD7AA0-FBBF-11DE-BA31-08002BAABBCC
          entityUid  9662F3A0-FBA0-11DE-8004-AA0004000104
          streamUid  947617C0-FBA0-11DE-8003-AA0004000104

The node name varies depending on which console generates the event.


If I try to login to either ASTVAX or MV0001 on any normal terminal (not 
the operator's console), it barfs with "No license is active for this 
software product).
