VMS or ULTRIX?

This does not sound to me like an namespace problem.
Can you issue a show command for the same node4?

This is a VMS system.

Attempting to SHOW something from these nodes only returns the message...
"Insufficient information, entity has only been partially registered"

I understand that MCC tries to do a show command upon registration
and if unsuccessful, then executes a partial registration.  If I can
do an NCP> SHOW EXEC CHAR, should I not be able to register this node?

    Do you the same problem when you use LOCAL MIR instead of DNS?
    
    Try the following:
    
       $define MCC_DNS_SELECTION MIR
    
    The invoke MCC and try registering the some DNA4 nodes.
    
    
    If this works ok, then we it is a DNS problem, else could
    be a DNA4 problem.
    
    Let us know how this goes.

Sorry.....I should have explained that I was using the MIR......

(LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)

  "MCC_COMMON" = "SYS$COMMON:[MCC]"
  "MCC_DNS_SELECTION" = "MIR"
  "MCC_ICONS" = "MCC_COMMON"
  "MCC_MAPS" = "SYS$DISK:[]"
        = "MCC_COMMON"
  "MCC_NODE_IDP" = "49::"
  "MCC_SPECIFIC" = "SYS$SPECIFIC:[MCC]"
  "MCC_SYSTEM" = "MCC_SPECIFIC"
        = "MCC_COMMON"
  "MCC_TDF" = "Using DECdts logical SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL"
  "MCC_UIL" = "MCC_COMMON"

    please try the node4 command using the node4 address and let us know
    the results. By any chance are you trying to register a cluster?
    

Ok....I've tried:

register node 36.60

REGISTER NODE4 36.60
Node4 LOCAL_NS:.36.60
AT 24-JAN-1992 08:28:21

Partial registration success. Please retry later to complete the registration.
        Reason for Partial Registration = One or more required arguments are
                                          missing.



then I tried   register node4 dwovax address = 36.60

register node4 dwovax address = 36.60
Node4 LOCAL_NS:.dwovax
AT 24-JAN-1992 08:29:36

The requested operation cannot be completed
                      MCC Routine Error = %MCC-E-INV_IN_P, invalid argument or
                                          attribute

then we always have the old  register node4 dwovax
register node4 dwovax
Node4 LOCAL_NS:.dwovax
AT 24-JAN-1992 08:30:39

Partial registration success. Please retry later to complete the registration.
        Reason for Partial Registration = Duplicate Arguments were found.



Must be something else?

Does this give you any clues as to what could be wrong?

    Al,
    
    From the logicals, it appears that you have V5.5/WaveII or some
    combination.  I believe the  MCC_TDF logical is saying that MCC found
    DECdts, and is using the "real" Time-Synch Services.  This does not
    happen unless you are running a later version of VMS (or have installed
    some special dtss kit).  We are experiencing some problems on
    V5.5/WaveII systems and are installing the latest kit, even as I type.
    
    -Matt.

    All of the registration attempts described in .6 are syntatically
    incorrect. The release notes give a few more details on registering
    Phase IV nodes from a Phase V system. Try the following command:

    register node4 dwovax synonym dwovax, address=36.60

    If you get duplicate identifier error after you attempt the above
    command, then it is likely that you have a node synonym or
    backtranslation link pointing to a full name different that one you are
    attempting to register.(This could caused by your previous registration
    attempts.) Therefore if the duplicate identifier error message is
    returned, then you should be sure to deregister all of the nodes that
    are using the same synonym and/or address as the desired node.

Yes .7, this is WAVE II.

Thanks .8, but still not working.....
