2951.0. "Error Polling Bridge with T1.2.7 Bridge autoconfiguration" by MUTTON::LAMB (Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara) Thu May 07 1992 02:11

Hello,

I am getting the above error when I try to do an autoconfig of the bridges on
my network.  When the autoconfig completes it draws me an incomplete it puts 
all of the bridges on the map but does not connect them.  I have MCC_MAPS defined 
to point to my login directory setenv MCC_MAPS /usr/users/lamb but the map
seems to still be being created in /var/mcc/elm.  Even so when I copy the map
that it created into my login director and reopen the domain it is very incomplete
(basically only shows one bridge connected to 1 line).  

Could someone please tell me what is going wrong??  Do I need a password to access
these bridges to see their spanning tree??

Thanks and regards,

Peter Lamb

P.S. DECmcc 1.2.7, ELM T1.2.7 ULTRIX 4.2  Note: I am able to query the status of
the bridges placed in the domain so I do seem to be able to communicate with them.

2951.1mcc_kill, then setenv MCC_MAPSSLINK::HOODJust add waterThu May 07 1992 12:239
The problem is that all your various MCC subprocesses don't know the definition
of MCC_MAPS.  Do an mcc_kill <your-user-name>, then setenv MCC_MAPS <directory>.

At this point, all subprocesses will have the correct definition of MCC_MAPS and
things should work ok.

I'll try to make sure the SSB documentation is *very* clear about this.

2951.2Still having problemsMUTTON::LAMBPeter Lamb - GSG Santa ClaraThu May 07 1992 16:0666
Thanks for getting back to me!  Unfortunatly, that did not do the trick.

I did an mcc_kill and then did a ps -aux and killed any processes that mcc_kill
left out and then restarted mcc and ran the autoconfig.  I have included copies
of my .cshrc file (where I set MCC_MAPS) and the log for autoconfig below.

Thanks and regards,

2951.3Map problem solved (sort of...)MUTTON::LAMBPeter Lamb - GSG Santa ClaraThu May 07 1992 17:4310
Well,  Thanks to Karen Wilson's help we resolved why I wasn't getting maps in
my login directory.  I was starting mcc_iconic_map from the session manager and
was defining the MCC_MAPS inside an if loop for interactive terminals only.

Now my only problem is that I still can't get a map because my root bridge is
a vitalink bridge (see note # 2956)
