In fact, I think unmanaged switches tend to give less issues on average than managed ones (especially in terms of non-TCP/IP). > I'm not completely sure, I forgot the commands to check the > settings. Typically via "SYSGEN> SHOW &parameter", e.g.: $! [TOF] $ SET NOON $! $ SHSG :== MCR SYSGEN SHOW $! $ SHSG VOTES $ SHSG EXPECTED_VOTES $ SHSG VAXCLUSTER $! $ EXIT $!

Maybe it's better to look up, if you can (via a conversational boot, perhaps), which of the previously mentioned parameter you have configured (for both nodes). At the moment, it's hard to say what might be going on. By the way, with regard to the quorum disk, is it an internal disk inside the DEC 3000? - MG

Yes the quorum disk is the DEC 3000's internal disk.  The disk in the multia was setup as swap disk/pagefile disk as it was too small to install VMS on.
