2161.0. "Help DNS problem with 1.2.3" by 42238::SYSTEM () Wed Jan 22 1992 04:50

    Hi,
    
    I have a DNS problem! (says it all really!)
    
    I am running T1.2.3 DNS V1.1
    
    I have appended a log of what happens with my problem, but in essence
    it is this.
    
    1 Start DNS..........no problem
    2 run dns$ivp........no problem
    3 update the namespace using mcc_dns_setup.com.........no problem
               (this bit not shown in the log but the IVP shows the
    		directories)
    4 try accessing the namespace using dns$control........ no problem
    5 create a domain in the namespace under the .domain directory
    	get the cannot communicate with DNS server error
    
    At this point the DNS$ADVER process takes 99% cpu and keeps it!
    
    Any further reference to the namespace whatever results in the system
    crashing!
    
    
    Help!
    
    Stuart

2161.1Try to create a DNS object using DNS$ControlTRM::KWAKWed Jan 22 1992 09:3520
    
    When you issue the MCC> create domain .domain.test, the MCC
    will create two DNS objects - .domain.test, and
    .domain.test_MCC_EXT000.
    
    Can you check if you can create an object in the namespace by
    issueing DNS$Control command:
        $ mcr dns$control
        DNS> show  object OLONMS_NS:.domain.test_foo
    
        DNS> create object OLONMS_NS:.domain.test_foo
        Object class? DNS$Group
        Class version? 1.0
    
    If the above DNS$Control command is not successful, the MCC command
    cannot succeed either.
    
    Please make sure that the DNS server process is running on the DNS
    server node.
2161.2updateWOTVAX::HATTOSI think, Therefore I'm paid lessWed Jan 22 1992 12:5012
    Did both of these commands after restarting DNS and both were
    succesful.
    
    Then did
    MAN/ent
    MCC> create domain .domain.test
    
    got the cannot communicate with DNS server message as before,
    DNS$ADVER took 100% cpu, tried using dns$control to do ANYTHING and
    system crashed again!

2161.3TRY some more DNS/MCC commandsTRM::KWAKWed Jan 22 1992 13:3115
    
    RE: .2
    
    Please try the following:
    	$ mcr dns$control
    	DNS> show dir .domain known object
        DNS> delete object .domain.test
    	DNS> delete object .domain.test_MCC_EXT000
        DNS> exit
        $ manage/ent
    	MCC> show mcc 0 all char
        MCC> create domain .domain.test
    
    Please post the log of the above commands in this topic.
    Thanks.
2161.4UpdateWOTVAX::HATTOSI think, Therefore I'm paid lessThu Jan 23 1992 08:2022
    The first time I tried your suggestions, i got
    
    $mc dns$control
    DNS> show dir .domain known object
    
    
    MACHINE CRASHED after i hit return. 8*(
    
    It is rebooting at the moment, I will try the commands again when it is
    up.
    
    The first time I try to use dns$control everything will be fine.
    
    After I come out of MCC after doing the second command, I will get a
    cannot communicate with DNS server, DNS$ADVER will take 100% cpu and
    the machine will crash on the next DNS reference.
    
    This is based on the behaviour I have witnessed over the last 5
    days..8*(
    
    thanks for your help,
    Stuart

    I have also sent mail to some one on the DNS team, to clue them
    in to the problem  you are having. Hopefully they might have some
    ideas as well.
2161.6DNS questionsTOOK::ZEELike a fly on a wallThu Jan 23 1992 17:037
What VMS version?
Multiprocessor system?

If you could save the crash dump and mail me a pointer, we'll take a look at it
and get back to you.

2161.7DNS$CLIENT.EXE corrupted!WOTVAX::HATTOSI think, Therefore I'm paid lessSat Jan 25 1992 09:4911
    
    
    Hi people,
    
    Sorry to raise such a commotion, I did ana analyze/ima on
    dns$client.exe and it basically said it was corrupted. Copied another
    DNS$CLIENT.EXE from somewhere else, and now my machine is happy again.
    
    Thanks for al your help.
