I am fully aware of the difference between DECnet and clustering.
The alpha is not aware of the cluster att all but is using
decnet to communicate with the realvax.I am happy ,except for
the login problem when doing set host realvax. This is the error
I get on OPCOM:

I have tried to /include both nodes in the vmscluster license and it shows as active on both nodes.

Thanks for all help , I am very happy that I got this far :)
