OpenVMS client and open files

Question

I have created a .NSR file in the root of my disks to add the OpenVMS /ignore=interlock directive, but it doesn't seem to work.
Since I installed it, i still get the error that some files are not backed up because they are open.

My save set information has the two disks I want to backup

nodea_01$DISQUE:
nodea_02$DISQUE:

and on each of the disk roots [000000], I have a .NSR file containing

<<"nodea_01$DISQUE:">>
+NULL: *.LOG;*
+NOLOCK: *.*;*

and

<<"nodea_02$DISQUE:">>
+NULL: *.LOG;*
+NOLOCK: *.*;*

Is there something wrong with my syntax?

I should be able to force this directive into the saveset on the server-side, no?

I really don't know nothing about OpenVMS filesystems, but I took a look at some examples, and don't the syntax should include the disk root? Example:

<<"sys$sysdevice:[000000]">>

I mean, may be in your case it should be:

<<"nodea_01$DISQUE:[000000]">>

As I told you, I know nothing about this, so ignore my post if it's totally wrong

I tried your suggestion of adding the [000000], but it didn't change anything.I even tried <<'/'>>, but that didn't work either.

RobertC,you might need to use the correct Logical Volume Name for your disks. You can obtain this with:$ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETDVI('your-disk-name','LOGVOLNAM')USERDISK1Then create the .NSR file as:$ CRE your-disk-name:[000000].nsr<<'USERDISK1:[000000]'>>+null: *.log;*+nolock: *.*;*This worked fine for me with Networker for OpenVMS Client v7.3.4Volker.
