System name: sullius-secundus
Type and version: KN02ca 7.6F (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
vos release project -c rel-eng -verb
What's wrong:
This was the output:
project
readWriteID 536870950 valid
readOnlyID 536870951 valid
backUpID 536871556 valid
number of sites -> 3
server AJAX.MIT.EDU partition /vicepa RW Site
server AJAX.MIT.EDU partition /vicepa RO Site
server EROS.MIT.EDU partition /vicepd RO Site
This is a complete release of the volume 536870950
Readonly volume on same partition as read/write volume, just cloning it.
Bringing the existing ro volume 536870951 uptodate ... done
updating VLDB ... done
Released volume project successfully
However, it failed to update the RO site on eros:

What should have happened:
It should have succeeded, I expect. Clues to why it failed:
vos examine project.readonly -c rel-eng (from my DECstation)
project.readonly 536870951 RO 21 K On-line

Could not fetch the information about volume 536870951 from the server
rxk: Security level negotiation failed
Error in vos examine command
Segmentation violation
I did an unlog and re-aklogged, and still got the rxk problem.
The failing operations were done on my relatively vanilla
DECstation with my root tokens. I then turned around and used my Vax
with root tokens and the examine succeeded. A subsequent vos release
using the VAX also succeeded.
Since the vos release, vos examine project.readonly started working
from the DECstation.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I expect they're all gross.
