XNET 1.5.0 on VM/370 CE 1.1.2

 

Having rebuilt most of my VM/370 KVMs, I just tackled the installation of XNET 1.5.0.
?
Neat! Wow! Wonderful!
?
Bob, you did a wonderful job. I've got my two original systems running and connected. Now to add a third, just because.
?
The only thing I really tripped over, and you did document it (page 7), is adding class B to the USER record in USER DIRECT so the CP MSGNOH command works.
?
I had PVM installed when I worked on VM years ago, but never used it much. This does as much as I remember.
?
Thank you!

Bob,
?
I tried the following from the OPERATOR console. Am I supposed to be able to INACT and ACT a channel?

15:17:22 SMSG XNET D NODES
XNET032 Node Status 15:17:22
Netid ? Name ? ? ?Status
? 1 ? ? VM370DEV ?INACTIVE
? 2 ? ? VM370P01 ?ACTIVE ? ?(LOCAL NODE)
15:17:35 SMSG XNET V 500 INACT
XNET026 Dev 500 already inactive
15:17:41 SMSG XNET V 500 ACT
XNET011 Unrecognized command input

Mark,
?
Yep, that's a bug.?? I just confirmed it here.? There is some kind of length calculation issue in the code dealing with the command image received.?? For now, you can use a workaround.? Just type a blank after the ACT in the command and it will work.? For example,
SMSG XNET V 500 ACTb
?
Where the 'b' is a blank? (Physically type the blank, because the VM command line is nulls not blanks.
?
I'll get a fix to you soon.
?
Regards,
Bob
 

Hi Mark,
?
I've uploaded XNET 1.5.1 to the files section, which corrects the issue you identified.? All you need is to replace the MODULE file from the tape image for each XNET machine that you have, and restart them.

Bob
