601.0. "register problem with some nodes" by LYOIS1::CROZET () Wed Jan 09 1991 09:19

	I have just installed BMS eft1.1 with different modules and i get a 
problem when registering NODE4 or TCPIP for SNMP module:

	My WS belong to area 62 and is also my DNS server: 

	 . I have no problem to register nodes in area 47
	 . I can't register other node4 in area 62 or TCPIP stations
 and I get the messages:

	MCC_W_entunknown    or  %dns-e-unknownenty 

	My node4 are defined in NCP and reachables and my TCP/IP node are seen
 by UCX and reachables. 

	Is it a MCC problem or DNS problem?

	Could somebody help me ??

The problem may be that your DNS namespace is not properly setup 
for MCC.  After installing MCC you must run two commands
files on the the node where the DNS server is install, these are 
mcc_system:mcc_dns_basic_setup.com and mcc_system:mcc_dns_setup.com
I believe this is documented in the installation guide.
If you have done this and are still having problems then please
provide me with a dump of the structure of your namespace so
that I can look into it further. Run dns$control on the server
node and do some "show dir . known child" on the mcc directories.

After installing the SNMP kit you must create a directory in
the namespace where MCC will store the SNMP info.
How to create the directory in the DNS namespace needed for
registration of SNMP entities is documented in the DECmcc TCP/IP
SNMP Access Module V1.0-0 Field Test release notes.

I have included the relevant section.

   DECdns:

        DECmcc uses DECdns to store entity names.  SNMP entity names are stored
        in a directory called .MCC_IP.  This directory must be created before
        you can REGISTER SNMP entities.  Failure to do so will result in an
        MCC error containing a DNS error: "Entry not found".

        In addition, the user must have proper access to this DNS directory in
        order to REGISTER, SHOW, DEREGISTER, and ERASE SNMP entities.
        Please refer to chapter one of the Installation Guide for
        instructions on DNS access control.

        ( DECmcc useage of DECdns is documented in this Installation Guide.
          The .MCC_IP directory is NOT required to be present during
          installation of the DECmcc TCP/IP SNMP Access Module. )

        The DECmcc BMS/Director provides a mechanism for modifying your
        DNS namespace.  You should use the procedure
        mcc_system:mcc_dns_setup.com to add the .MCC_IP directory to your
        namespace.

Once the mcc_system:mcc_dns_setup.com procedure is invoked, on the dns
server node, select option 3 (Create additional directories
for node name objects).  Then enter the following responses:

* Directory name: .mcc_ip
* Clearinghouse for master replica: <CR>
* Clearinghouse for secondary replica: <CR>


* Directory name: ^Z

     hello,
    
    Thank you very much for your answer: I have created two directories in
    DNS,one for my decnet area and the other for Snmp and it woks fine.
