456.0. "DECmcc and Macintosh access errors" by CEBADA::MCCLELLAND (Off in the ETHERnet) Mon Nov 05 1990 21:08

I have been trying to show access to a Macintosh with out much success.  My
environment is a VS3100, 24 Mb memory, VMS 5.4, DEcmcc IFT 1.1.  The Mac
has the SSB product installed on it.  If I am doing something wrong or need
to RTFM some more, let me know.

456.1Having the same problem, what is the solution??BELMNT::PIETRONIGROThu Nov 15 1990 15:449
    I am experiencing the same problem while trying to monitor a MAC
    running VMS Services for MAC.  Also, I cannot add a MAC node to the
    iconic map interface of DECmcc.  I am able to add PC's running PCSA for
    OS/2 and DOS with no problem.  Did you experience the same problem?  Is
    there any group within Digital that is working on monitoring PC's and
    MACs through DECmcc?  I have been trying to get support and no one
    seems to know.

456.2request for information passed onGOSTE::CALLANDERMon Nov 26 1990 09:339
    Your message has been passed along to the dna4 project lead. Some
    one from that team should be responding soon.
    
    Sorry for the delay in responding but things have been quite hectic
    with preparations for EFT release and many people out sick with
    the flu.

456.3Looking at your Mac...TOOK::CAREYTue Dec 11 1990 17:5627
    
    John,
    
    Thanks for speaking with me on the phone just now.
    
    We'll play with your Macintosh to see what we can learn about the
    idiosyncracies of DECnet/MAC.  If it turns out to be straightforward to
    manage the Mac, then you can bet we will try to work changes in.
    
    If we understand the problem, and it isn't a big deal, then odds are
    good that we'll find a way.
    
    Incidentally, I started bouncing requests off the Macintosh a little
    while ago.  I was able to get counters.  I have been able to pick up 
    almost every partition except for "Initial Attributes", but your note
    shows "Initial Attributes" as being there.
    
    Not sure what's going on.
    
    I'm also getting "NML object not found on remote node" a lot.  It
    appears that the MacIntosh needs thirty seconds or so to reset its
    network management state.  Is that similar to your results?
    
    sorry to take so long getting back in here.
