2168.0. "DECmcc V1.2.4 installation problems" by USWRSL::GIBEAU_LE (Les Gibeau, Network Consultant - DTN 521-3294) Wed Jan 22 1992 16:16

    I'm having a problem installing the TCP/IP AM.  I'm running DECCmcc
    V1.2.4, and VMS V5.5.  The error I get is 
    
    %MCC-E-DSPMMLOCFILERR, dispatch local management module file access
    error during probe
    %MCC-E-DSPMMLOCFILERR, dispatch local management module file access
    error during probe
    
    I also have a customer that has a problem with the VITALINK AM.  They
    keep getting an access violation at location 0.  The customer is
    running VMS V5.4 and DECmcc V1.2.4
    
    Any ideas?  I haven't seen anything in this file yet.

V1.0 of the Translan AM will not work with V1.2 of DECmcc.   There has been
considerable discussion about this already in this conference.  Try
DIR/TITLE=Vitalink, or DIR/TITLE=translan.

P.S.  Who is your customer and through what channels did they order the
Vitalink AM ?

2168.2Vitalink AMUSWRSL::GIBEAU_LELes Gibeau, Network Consultant - DTN 521-3294Wed Jan 22 1992 18:127
    Doug,
    
    Thanks for the reply.  I tried everything except title=translan.
    The customer is Intel in Folson, Ca.  They got the Vitalink AM from
    Vitalink.

2168.3Do not install SNMP V1.1 on any V1.2TOOK::MINTZErik Mintz, DECmcc DevelopmentWed Jan 22 1992 23:186
I presume that you mean T1.2.4 (the field test kit).

The SNMP AM is bundled with BMS in 1.2.  You can not install
the V1.1 SNMP AM on top; attempting to do so will give you errors,
and quite possibly corrupt the installation.

2168.4Why not check for this for us???14386::STRAUBNetworks Marketing SupportWed Feb 19 1992 14:307
    
    Why didn't the install check for this and not allow
    you to go further?  I realize I just shot myself in the
    foot, but it sure would be nice if you suggested I not
    do that when I attempted the install.

If indeed you did install the 1.1 SNMP AM on top of T1.2.4, I recommend
you re-install T1.2.4, we made the same mistake, and all sorts of wierd things
happened until we figured out what was wrong.  

Note that I am not part of the DECmcc group, so they may have more info.
We were using more of the toolkit commands than you may require, but just
be aware that the MANAGE/TOOLKIT/SPECIF command was broken after we did this...

2168.6TOOK::R_SPENCENets don't fail me now...Thu Feb 27 1992 15:3110
    The V1.1 SNMP module instalation can't check for V1.2 cause it
    was released before any 1.2 systems existed. That would be nice but
    we can't undo history.
    
    We are discussing adding a note to the text displayed by the BMS
    install informing the installer that SNMP has been installed.
    
    Would this help?
