| Nicholas,
You mean the OWNER field in PARTITION I Think (not PROFILE)
The only way to fix this that I know of is to Remove and Readd the
Partition Record (Since there isn't an Edit option), and what's more
fun is that the options are on different menus!
SM MFC MD REM
SM MFC MP ADD

| 1250.2 | Try this | SIOG::T_REDMOND | Thoughts of an Idle Mind | Mon Aug 17 1992 18:48 | 8 |
| How about:
GET #DRAWER = drawer_name ! Something like [MANAGER]MAIN
WRITE ADD PARTITION %KEY = #DRAWER, OWNER = owner
??

| 1250.3 | Tried this, but same taste... No owner yet! | EVOIS8::DEC_HELLAS | | Tue Aug 18 1992 13:47 | 48 |

Hi Tony,
I followed your suggestion, and assume I was the "no owner" user:
So, I did:
<GET #DRAWER = [RALLIS.NICHOLAS]MAIN
<WRITE ADD PARTITION %KEY = #DRAWER, OWNER = RALLIS.NICHOLAS
After that, that is what happened:
a. I did MGT MFC MD (sel Rallis...), I did an MDT and the
OWNER field on RALLIS MAIN darwer profile, was still empty.
b. I tried to SEL a drawer and I simply get an ... empty list
as follows:
No. Drawer Owner Description
------------------------------------------------------------
1
2
> 3
4
...
...
I do not know what happened? Same thing if from the same menu, I do an
IAD... What went wrong?
c. while I am at the "Manage Drawers" menu screen and I rty to use the
up arrow to select the previous drawer, I get the message:
Error occurred setting drawer.
On the other hand, the down arrow works and I can select the next
drawer...
Any clues?

first.

Shouldn't the drawer owner be a VMS Username?

|
| 1250.5 | Yes, VMS User name is important here | SIOG::T_REDMOND | Thoughts of an Idle Mind | Wed Aug 19 1992 16:03 | 8 |
| Right. The OWNER field is filled with a VMS user name, not an ALL-IN-1
account name.
Of course, the author of the base topic must have been asleep when I
explained all of this, plus the dangers of playing with PARTITION,
during the ATS in Valbonne last May ;-)

| 1250.7 | Change the duff data | SIOG::T_REDMOND | Thoughts of an Idle Mind | Wed Aug 19 1992 19:45 | 15 |
| Why not delete the PARTITION records that are bad and recreate them
using the correct information?
Or (easier) create a script which amends the OWNER field in the
PARTITION records with the correct owner information.
For example:
GET #KEY = "[REDMOND]MAIN"
WRITE CHANGE PARTITION %KEY = #KEY, OWNER="REDMOND"
GET #KEY = "[LAAHS.KEVIN]MAIN"
WRITE CHANGE PARTITION %KEY = #KEY, OWNER = "LAAHSK"
etc etc etc.

Ok, I have corrected the OWNER field problem. What remains to be
corrected now are the problems described in 1250.3 (b & c). In
addition, I found out that, while in the "Manage Drawers" menu form,
if I use the down arrow (my only choice) to scroll through in ascending
order when I arrive at the last record and press once more the down
arrow I get the same message: "Error occurred setting drawer". Also as I
told previously in 1250.5, when I do MGT MFC MD IAD the process seems
to hang, it loops but does not really consume CPU time.

Nicholas,
You'll probably find that IAD isn't hanging, but it's taking a VERY
long time to complete !
If you perform an IAD *WITHOUT* specifying a nodename it will be
substantially quicker than if you do specify a nodename. However,
that's of course only helpful if you want to verify things on your own
node.

Well, if you try to remove the node name when you do IAD it will not
work... If you move the cursor to the OWNER field, after clearing the
partition field, and hit <RET> it will not work. Try it and let me
know... Here I am not talking about the keystroke sequence:
EM FC DRM IAD from a user's ALL-IN-1 account...
I am talking about the keystroke sequence (from the ALL-IN-1 manager's
account: MGT MFC MD IAD. Try it and let me know. If the partition is
present ALL-IN-1, then a DEcnet process is created and... then you will
see...

Nicholas,
Apologies, I misread one of your earlier messages - didn't realise you
were from the manager's account.
However, if I do SM MFC MD IAD and ONLY have the partition field is filled
in (with NODE::) then it doesn't hang/loop for me. I've also tried
the other combinations of specifying Owner, Drawer, or both and each
time it works on my system.
Are you running the SSB kit ? Is there anything that has been specifically
changed with the server(s) ?
Kevin.

| 1250.12 | What is next? | EVOIS7::DEC_HELLAS | | Fri Aug 21 1992 15:54 | 28 |
| Kevin,
if you read my note 1220 on this conference you will see how I got the
kit. I got it last May in VBO in the ALL-IN-1 technical seminar, on a
TK70 saying that I would use it to upgrade our ALL-IN-1 V2.4 in our
PRODUCTION. I was told it was the correct kit. Thus I came and upgraded
our ALL-IN-1 cluster in mid-June. Few days ago, I was told by G.P. in
1220.* that the kit I used was not identical to the SSB kit! What am I
supposed to do now? I have got now the CD with the A1030 kit (Revision
123A). I am not an ALL-IN-1 programmer or expert. A small part of my other
functions (MTS, Networks, Telecoms, Security, Contigency, Cluste
Mgmt,etc) is ALL-IN-1 Mgmt. My main function is the I.S. mgmt for the
DEC subsisdiary in Greece. Therefore, I try my best to work both in an
administrative as well as technical level.
What should I do now? Should I reinstall the SSB kit on top of what I
have already installed? I really feel frustrated cought with thw wrong
kit!

| 1250.14 | Got the official kit, but same problem. | EVOIS8::DEC_HELLAS | | Sat Aug 22 1992 09:35 | 21 |
| Back again,
I got the ALL-IN-1 V3.0 kit, from the Jul. 1992 CD (vol 1 of 7, "VMS
Consolidated Software Distribution", Part No: AG-PASMU-RE). Well, I
tried again to install it on my VS 3100, and to my big surprise when it
started linking the OA$MAIN imageg, guess what, it never finished!!! It
continued looping forever!!! This proves that, this problem, has nothing
to do with the kit revision (BLP vs SSB).
Pretty soon our engineers will start to install it to customer sites.
What about if they have got the same problem? Whom should they turn to
for advice? I have looked in the TIMA/STARS database, I could not find
anything related?
Anyone has any explanation and suggestion of where/how to identify and
correct the problem?

| 1250.13 | Can update to SSB kit. | IOSG::BURTON | ALL-IN-1 Builder | Mon Aug 24 1992 14:33 | 15 |
| Nicholas,
Yes you can update your current system to the SSB kit. You will
need to check for any manual post-installation tasks that need to be
performed. In the network locations there is a separate
post-installation saveset A1POST030.A which contains release notes
describing these tasks.
See note 7.6 for details of how to find the network location.
Regards,
Martin.
