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

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,

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).
