1008.0. "SNMP/DNS Error" by PHLACT::BBRADBURY () Tue May 14 1991 11:53

I am running DECmcc V1.1 and installed the SNMP kit from directory 

   MKNME::MKNME$DUA1:[SNMP.KITS.X1_1]

The install appears to have worked.  I can query MCC and get a successful
answer.  The SNMP icon appears in the toolbox.

UCX is installed and my TCP/IP nodes are defined to it in the HOST file.

When I attempt to register an ULTRIX node I receive the following error:

   MCC Routine Error = %DNS-E-UNKNOWNENTRY, Requested entry
                                          does not exist

DNS should not know about the entry until I register it, I don't understand
the error.
   
Any ideas?

Bob

I have attached the actual dialog.

1008.1Check .MCC_IP directoryTRM::KWAKTue May 14 1991 12:419

    Please make sure that you have .MCC_IP directory set up in your 
    default namespace.
    
    If the directory does not exist, use MCC_SYSTEM:MCC_DNS_SETUP.COM
    to create it.
    
    In MCC V1.1, SNMP objects are stored in .MCC_IP directory.
1008.2Unsupported.CHRISB::BRIENENDECmcc Bridge|Station|SNMP Management.Tue May 14 1991 12:4218
The version you are running (X1.1) is not supported.

I'll check with the SNMP Project Leader about having this kit removed
from the network.

I suggest that you do the following:

	   Install the V1.0 SSB version of SNMP AM and get *that*
	   to work (this at least verifies that you've done the
	   necessary DNS stuff to have SNMP AM work at all). Please
	   check the DECmcc V1.1 Release Notes for mandatory patches
	   to the dictionary before doing this.

If you have done this already, but need functionality that X1.1
provides (Wellfleet MIB), let us know...

1008.3Where is this documented?SPANKY::SHEEHANThu Jul 18 1991 11:1719
    
    	I have had this type of problem (this exact one as well) with
    various AM's etc. of MCC and after long hours of trying to weed through
    all the different documentation for MCC (USE guides for every little
    piece) I have found that most problems could be solve with some
    detailed information that would normally be found in an install guide. In 
    this case I have yet to find in the doc's anything that tell's me to create
    the entry for DNS (I've known that was the basic problem but, didn't
    know what the directory should be called.). Am I missing documentation? 
    I have nine V11 USE guides and only one install guide. I have access to
    MCC Notes (thank god!) but, my customers don't. Where would they find
    these answers?
    
    Thanks,
