2186.0. "ncl command error" by DEKVC::JINSUNPARK () Fri May 30 1997 04:03

    Hello,
    
    I have a problem about decnet/osi and x.500.
    Customer was using very well unix 3.2c with decnet/osi,mta,x400,x500,
    mailworks on system dec3500. 
    And yesterday they upgraded only unix version from 3.2c
    to 3.2g and upgrading was succesful and no problem.
    they dumped O/S from dec 3500 to new system alpha 1000-a and did do
    kernel rebuild and ip address , decnet address, nodename is same like
    before. only differences are network interface(ln0=>tu0), hardware
    address.
    I know alpha 1000-a minimum version is 3.2g.
    
    After they downed dec 3500 system and boot alpha 1000-a but MTA process
    cann't be started because of the following error.
    
    #ncl
    ncl> create dsa
    
    FAILED IN DIRECTIVE: Create
    DUE TO: The target implementation does not support this entity class
    
    #ncl
    ncl> create mta 
    
    FAILED IN DIRECTIVE: Create
    DUE TO: The target implementation does not support this entity class
    
    
Tomorrow is weekend but i have to work.
    
    best regards

    The error you are getting "target implementation does not support this
    entity class", means it looks like those products are not available.
    
    The first place to check is /etc/cml.conf, and make sure there are
    lines for the dsa & mta.  For the dsa, what we have on netrix is
    
    	33              /var/dxd/scripts/dxd_dsa_startup
    
    I don't know what the mta line would look like, but it should be
    number "42"

2186.2Look in the .sav* filesFORTY2::JONESNeilMon Jun 02 1997 06:0017
    
    Re: .1
    
    If the entries for DSA (33) and MTA (42) are missing from the
    /etc/cml.conf look for the most recent file called /etc/cml.conf.sav*
    which includes the DSA and MTA and reinstate it. For example, if
    the file is called /etc/cml.conf.sav3 then...
    
    # cd /etc
    # cp cml.conf cml.conf.v32g
    # cp cml.conf.sav32 cml.conf
    
    and then try to restart the DSA and MTA
