Running Oracle CRS 10gR2 on OpenVMS (Alpha or Itanium).

The following error is reported when executing CRSSETUP as part of the installation process or when starting CRS using INIT_CRS START:

A review of the following CRS Batch log files also show that all batch jobs terminated with the error %SYSTEM-F-IVLOGNAM, invalid logical name

       ORA_ROOT:[log.<node>.crsd]crsd_batch.log;
       ORA_ROOT:[log.<node>.cssd]ocssd_batch.log;

       ORA_ROOT:[log.<node>.cssd.oclsvmon]oclsvmon_batch.log;
       ORA_ROOT:[log.<node>.evmd]evmd_batch.log;

Where <node> is the nodename of the node where CRSSETUP or INIT_CRS START was executed.
