352.0. "DOMAIN deletion problem" by BYBLOS::TAMER () Wed Sep 26 1990 13:29

I am trying to delete a domain which was created with the V1.0 kit. Now I have
the V1.1 IFT kit (X1.1.0):

using the FCL:

MCC> CREATE DOMAIN TPSYSTEM OWNER id="TAMER", dir=dectpv1:[proto.tamer]
Domain TPEDNS_NS:.TPSYSTEM
AT 26-SEP-1990 12:17:51


The requested operation cannot be completed
                  Entity Existence Info = Entity Exists

HOWEVER, I CANNOT DELETE IT !

MCC> DELETE DOMAIN TPSYSTEM
Domain TPEDNS_NS:.TPSYSTEM
AT 26-SEP-1990 12:18:16


The requested operation cannot be completed
                      MCC Service Error = 8, X1.0.1,
                                          %MCC-S-COMMON_EXCEPTIO, success with

                                          Deregister,

                                          Null Partition,
                                          Domain TPEDNS_NS:.TPSYSTEM ,
                                          The requested operation cannot be
                                          completed,

Using the Iconic Map PM, I try open domain, I get 

		The domain TPSYSTEM does not exist.
   		Do you wish to create it ?              

I click on yes, I get the new domain window. I click on OK, I get:

     Map Window Message: The domain being added already exists.

How do I get rid of this domain ?

Thanks,
Phil



          

I had a similar problem... The answer (not a pretty one) is in the release
notes. (Does anybody read the release notes? I dodn't until I had this problem.
;^) )  

The problem (at least the problem *I* had) was in MCC's use of DNS. Large
chunks of my DNS namesepace had to be rebuilt.   I.e. I had to go into
DNS$CONTRL and delete the *old* objects and links that were causing the
problems.  

Like I said: not pretty.

Hope this *isn't* your problem.

re .1

I had read the release notes. However, I forgot to deregister the instances
and delete domain before installing the new Kit. Not a serious problem in
this case since I only had a domain with a few instances.

I did go to DNS$CONTROL and manually delete objects and links. But I could not
find anything related to DOMAIN in DNS.

Register/Deregister/Directory ARE working with the new kit

The title of the previous rely should have read,  Does NOT look like DNS to me.

    Domain are stored as objects in DNS name space. So if you have deleted
    all the previously registered objects (nodes, bridges, domains etc..)
    you are all set.
    
    
    By the by, this problem occurs only when you update from V1.0 EFT kit to
    V1.1 IFT.  If you update from V10_MCS, or V10_SSB kit this should not
    cause problem.

re .4

Thanks. I deleted the old domains (which are objects under the root) using 
DNS$CONTROL. Problem appears to be solved.

PS: you are right, I upgraded from V1.0 EFT to V1.1 IFT
