Since a few month we have more and more problems with MCC on our cluster, especially when using IMPM. The reason for this seems to be that our system is a bit under-sized for the use of MCC, and so that often the startup of MCC does not complete well for such or such reason (like not enough GBLPAGES or GBLSECTS) and because nobody cares to look at the startup log, nobody knows that there is a problem with MCC. I think it would be very useful that you improve your startup or ivp procedures so that whenever the installation or startup of MCC is not correct you de-install something to prevent MCC to be run. This would prevent the users to run MCC and have lots of exotic messages such as : Bad ILV mode (see note 877), %MCC-E-DNS specified class is inconsistent with..., %MCC-E-INVENTITY Invalid Entity Identifier, %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO access violation address 000000A and so on, a set of messages that we get we something went wrong during installation and disappear sometimes after a system reboot. Best Regards Pierre.

| 893.1 | lack of GBLPAGES resulting in ACCVIO? | OSLACT::BJORN | Once again | Thu Apr 18 1991 07:03 | 16 |
Is this a fact, that even if you don't have enough global
pages/sections, DECmcc will be successfully mcc_startup_bms'ed, but
when you try to MAN/ENT/INTER=DECWINDOWS, the IMPM will fail with
ACCVIO?
I have a customer who was running EFT V1.1, which I helped installing
the SDC V1.1 kit yesterday. We also set up their workstations to run
DECmcc instead of running from the load host (in a VAXcluster). Today
they called me and explained that one of the workstations could run the
FCL, but not the IMPM. The IMPM reported ACCVIO, reason=00, VA=0000000A,
PC=0000000A, PSL=0000000F.
I haven't found the reason yet, but I'll definitely look for GBLPAGES.

It can happen, yes or you may have another error message depending on the weather, your MCC_TDF logical value, and the number of replicas you have on your DNS clearinghouse ^). I suggest you *first* carefully re-read the SRM, the MM programming guide, the BMS, DIR, TK, DECNET_AM, SNSMP_AM,... release notes, the DNS installation guide where you surely will find useful information concerning your problem. Good luck Pierre. | |||||
