3214.0. "MCC problems in the corporate namespace." by ZEKE::PARADISE () Fri Jun 19 1992 10:48

Hello, 

    I am currently running DECmcc 1.2.7, DECelm 1.2 and
DECtsam 1.0 on my master DNS server here at ZKO. When 
I installed these products I had no errors during the 
installation.I am using the corporate namespace.

    I have worked with John Regan and Brad Woodcock to try
and fix the problems that I am having. I can register 
node4 entities with no problem. It's only when I try to register
Bridges and Terminal servers is when the problems occurs.
On the iconic map when I go to register the bridges or 
terminal servers I get entity partically registered. Please
try again later message. But it does put the entity on the map.

    If anyone can shed some light on what might be my problem
please feel free to send me mail or even give me a call. My DTN
is 381-2288 or I can be reached on ZEKE::PARADISE.

Thanks
  Rick Paradise


 Below is what John Regan sent me with info on the DNS accesses
to the DEC: namespace:



Trying to Register a bridge with DECmcc using the Corporate DEC:
namespace.  I apparently have all the access I need for all the
related directories...


Problem:

 Can't "completely" register a bridge = DEC:.zko.b.zk2620


Object gets created,,,,no softlink created, 
Can create softlink manually via DNS$Control..so access control doesn't
seem to be the problem.

Access to DEC: MCC Bridge Backtran dir.....

    RE: .0
    
    When using a large namespace like DEC:, the MCC backtranslation
    directories (e.g. mcc_bridge_backtranslation) are centralized and
    shared by all the systems in the namespace. 
    
    It happens that the master DECdns server for the directory may not be 
    available to MCC users during MCC registration. And, the users will often 
    get DNS-NoCommunication error. In such case, the users can re-try later
    when the DNS server becomes accessible.

    We ended finding the prblem I was having. It turned out to be
    that the vms drivers on my node were only 90% complete. I had
    the VMS people fix it and now everything looks great.
