DECNET might hang during OpenVMS boot if TCPIP is configured

Problem

Some VMS configurations have DECNET and TCPIP startup performed in parallel. When the system is transferred to CHARON, DECNET startup might hang. This effect appears randomly, there is a small time frame when DECNET startup script is sensitive to changes made by TCPIP startup process.

Solution

Change VMS startup scripts to avoid starting DECNET using BATCH queue and start it using inline procedure as specified in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM

 

Replace then:

$ SUBMIT SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET.COM

by:

$ START/NETWORK DECNET
