2308.0. "Duplicate Registration Identifier - When adding NODE4 node" by MUTTON::LAMB (Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara) Mon Feb 10 1992 14:40

Hello,

I am having difficulty with DECmcc FT1.2 registering a node in domain that
has already been registered.  a SHOW NODE4 MUTTON shows that the node
is registered and that an address is available for it however, when I
select the NODE4 icon from the tool box and type in MUTTON as the name the
"Enter Entity Information" box comes up and when I enter MUTTON as the
synonym I get the message...

"Duplicate Registration identifier node MUTTON" 

Whats wrong??

Thanks!

peter

2308.1	Check the registration info	TOOK::R_SPENCE	Nets don't fail me now...	`Mon Feb 10 1992 15:39`	6
	Try a DIRECTORY NODE4 MUTTON Do you have some other class of object registered as MUTTON (like SNMP or STARION?)? s/rob
2308.2	re: Try DIRECTORY NODE4 MUTTON	MUTTON::LAMB	Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara	`Mon Feb 10 1992 16:14`	22
	I tried this and nothing else shows up... The return result is... MCC> dir node4 mutton Node4 MUTTON AT 1992-02-10-13:12:19.934-08:00Iinf Directory successful. Registered Name = LOCAL_NS:.dna_node.mutton Name = MUTTON Address = 30.352 Note: I believe MUTTON was origionally entered as part of autoconfig could this have anything to do with it. Thanks! peter
2308.3	Add entity needs "fullname"	TOOK::R_SPENCE	Nets don't fail me now...	`Mon Feb 10 1992 17:26`	9
	Ok, easy answer. When you add it to your domain in the IMPM you need to specify as the entity ".dna_node.mutton" as that is it's name. "MUTTON" is the synonym. The error message you are getting seems to me to be misleading. s/rob
2308.4	Duplicate registration... redux	CONTRA::PMCVAY	Point! Click! Point! Click!	`Mon Mar 08 1993 07:27`	40
	I am having the same problem with the field test version of MCC V1.3. Background: Installed MCC T1.3.1 (PolyCenter DECmcc BMS) Running with DNS in the DEC: namespace. The DNS servers have been checked for latest rev levels (ECO 1 installed). I get the same message whether using the window or character interface. Here's the character-cell dialogue (Since NOTES doesn't accept straight graphics input yet) :-) --------- MCC> REGISTER NODE4 .lkg.domains.cthq1 SYNONYM CTHQ1 Node4 DEC:.lkg.domains.cthq1 AT 8-MAR-1993 07:19:17 Duplicate registration identifier, identifier already in use by another entity. Name = CTHQ1 --------- A search of the DEC: namespace from the top down, looking through every branch, doesn't turn up CTHQ1 anywhere. Also, to my knowledge, CTHQ1 has never been registered in the DEC: namespace. It has been registered (and removed) in a private namespace called LKGMGM:. 1. Is there a way to search (and pinpoint) the location of an entity when this message is received? If I knew where MCC picked up this information, I could track it down! 2. Is this error message incorrect or misleading? Is something else going on instead? 3. If an entity already exists in the MIR, is there a way to copy/duplicate it to a new domain? Or do I have to copy the whole domain? (Note: a "find" and "membership search" operation also failed to turn up CTHQ1 in any domain.) 4. ...or anything else. Am I going about registration incorrectly?
2308.5	Check DNS link name in .dna_nodesynonym directory	TRM::KWAK		`Mon Mar 08 1993 10:19`	15
	RE: .0 The error message means that the phase4 node name CTHQ1 is in use. The name exists as a DNS link - DEC:.dna_nodesynonym.CTHQ1 To check the existance of link: $ mcr dns$control DNS> show link DEC:.dna_nodesynonym.CTHQ1 DNS> show link DEC:.dna_nodesynonym.CTHQ1 attribute dns$linktarget DNS> exit William
2308.6	DNS> SHOW LINK worked	CONTRA::PMCVAY	Point! Click! Point! Click!	`Tue Mar 09 1993 07:21`	5
	That did the trick. I can now import (register?) these nodes as they appear, jumping in and out of MCC and DNS. It seems I've run into some "historical" stuff in the namespace... Thanks for the hint!
