2094.0. "SNMP partial registration ?" by ANNECY::BONNIER (Jean-Luc ... EIC/T&N Annecy France) Tue Jan 14 1992 03:10

I am running DECmcc BMS T1.2.3 for VMS and UCX V1.3.
I'd like to register SNMP entities.

$ manage/enterprise
DECmcc (T1.2.3)

MCC> register snmp obelix

SNMP DSP_NS:.obelix
AT 14-JAN-1992 08:52:57

Partial registration success. Please retry later to complete the registration.
        Reason for Partial Registration = No internet name or internet address
                                          specified

What does it mean ?

Here is a display of the UCX$HOST.DAT contents (where obelix is defined) :

UCX> show host

     LOCAL database

Host address    Host name

16.188.192.100  AEO825
16.188.192.101  AEOEN1
16.188.192.107  AEOEN2
16.188.192.67   AEOESA
16.188.192.9    ASTERIX
127.0.0.1       LOCALHOST, localhost
16.188.192.6    OBELIX
16.188.192.10   PANORAMIX


Thanks in advance.

2094.1Registration requires a fullnameTOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, DECmcc DevelopmentTue Jan 14 1992 03:2014
The register command now requires a fullname for all entities.
So it is looking for something like

MCC> register snmp .obelix synonym obelix

(where ".obelix" is the fullname, and "obelix" is the Internet name)
rather than

MCC> register snmp obelix

In this second case, the register command takes "obelix" as the fullname,
and considers the Internet name missing, so it never gets to looking
up the address in the UCX database.
2094.2SNMP needs a namespace directoryANNECY::BONNIERJean-Luc ... EIC/T&N Annecy FranceWed Jan 15 1992 03:5913
re: .1

MCC> register snmp .obelix syno obelix

SNMP DSP_NS:.obelix
AT 15-JAN-1992 09:53:45

Unable to register name, required namespace directory does not exist.


Is this namespace directory MCC_IP ? How to create it ?

Thx. Jean-Luc
2094.3Read the docs...BSYBEE::EGOLFJohn C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874Wed Jan 15 1992 08:004
	Read the  installation  guide or the SNMP manual.  If you can't
	find it, send a note to Jack Cahalan, the writer.

	This is in the doc set!

I am having the same sort of problems as mentioned in .0 . I am getting either
the "partially registered" message or the "namespace directory not exist"
message. Here are my results:

I have read the manual, and I have no idea WHICH directory doesn't exist!

Any hints highly appreciated

2094.5.MCC_SNMP_Backtranslation directory is requiredTOOK::KWAKThu Jan 16 1992 15:3424
    
    RE: .1, .4
    
    In MCC V1.2, the SNMP objects are registered using fullnames, and are
    no longer placed in .MCC_IP directory.
    
    If you issue the MCC command:
    	MCC> register snmp .sitea.foo syn foo.loc.dec.com
        (assume the IP address of foo.loc.dec.com is 12382312 in 32-bit 
         integer representation)
    
    the followings wiil happen:
	1. A DNS object .sitea.foo is to be created,
        2. Two DNS softlinks .MCC_SNMP_Backtranslation."foo.loc.dec.com"
    	   and .MCC_SNMP_Backtranslation.12382312
    
    In order to successfully register a SNMP object in DNS, you need to
    have the directories in the fullname as well as
    .MCC_SNMP_Backtranslation directory.
    
    If you run MCC_COMMON:MCC_DNS_SETUP.COM, the commnad procedure will
    create the .MCC_SNMP_Backtranslation directory if it does not exist.

2094.6See note 5.48 for the latest manualTNPUBS::CAHALANJack, TAN Pubs, LKG2-2/T2, 226-5710Fri Jan 17 1992 07:518
>>Is this namespace directory MCC_IP ? How to create it ?

It looks like an old version of the manual is being used.  The pointer to the
new version is in note 5.48.

2094.7problem solvedCLARID::HOFSTEETake a RISC, buy a VAXFri Jan 17 1992 09:0113
The reason that I missed the explanation in the release notes (section 2.10.2)
was that I had the impression that this section was only applicable if you
had SNMP entities registered under V1.1 (which I hadn't). 
Maybe it could be made more clear in the release notes that you HAVE to do
certain things if you had the SNMP AM under V1.1 installed , even if you 
have currently no SNMP entities enrolled.

Thanks for the clarification

Timo
