1934.0. "Ultrix T1.2.3 alarm bug?" by ZPOVC::RAMARAJ () Thu Dec 12 1991 10:45

T1.2.3 on Ultrix
Local MIR
    
From iconic map, I set an alarm for a snmp ultrix system for coldstart event.

Did a snmpd restart on target ultrix system.

The notification window shows the alarm fired.  But the map window is not
updated, although the notification is enabled for the domain in the map
window.

Viewing the alarm from the map window or command line, the alarm is 
still in enabled state.  

Disabling it from either interface, says
Normal operation will be terminated.

But the state after disabling is still ENABLED.
Could not delete it at all.

I did a reboot of the system, the state of the rule is disabled now.
It can be deleted.

Seems like after the rule is fired, the rule cannot be disabled or deleted.

I tried the same stuff on the VMS T1.2.3.
The map is updated with the alarm notification.  The rule can be disabled
and deleted.

1934.1Alarms part knownTOOK::MINTZErik MintzThu Dec 12 1991 11:277
We are working on a number of problems related to alarms on ULTRIX,
including problems disabling.  This should be resolved before T1.2.4.

We'll check into the notification part.

Check that the state of the "Salience Changes" button in the File menu
is "enabled" (the "Enable Salience" button should be greyed out).  If 
salience changes are disabled you'd get no color changes in the Map window.

Check the domain and entity as they appear in the notification shown in the
notification window and make sure that the specified entity is registered and
a member of the specified domain.  

If the above are OK, do a show all idents of the icon that you think should
be turning a color and compare the results with the entity specified in the
notification window.  The IMPM tries to match notifications with icons by 
converting the identifiers of both to a common identifier (typically the
primary DNS identifier).  If the translation fails for some reason, there
will be no match.

I have the same problem on MIPS.

It has been QARed (QAR #1757) (not be me though...)
