3299.0. "problem with DECnet IV autoconfiguration results..." by MXOV06::LERIOS () Thu Jul 02 1992 23:35


Hi: 

I have the following environment:
DECsation 3100
24 MB 
RZ56
120 MB swap
ULTRIX V4.2
DECmcc for ULTRIX EFT 1.2.7

The problem is talking about the results of Autoconfiguration
procedure (DECnet phase IV).

Let me explain how I got such results:

I selected the Discovery option, this worked ok,

in fact in my home directory (/usr/var) are the DECmcc maps

and the registration files.

Then I run the registration file using the command:

# manage
T 1.2.7
mcc>@mcc_<domain>_registration.com

with this all the entities found during the discovery process were
registered.

Until this moment all worked o.k.

Now using the Map Snapshots option I can view the map files
created by the Autoconfiguration application

this view show  me the real situation of my environment

routers, node4, etc.. WITH THE LINKS between them.

However when I close the Snapshots option

and open the domain created by the autoconfiguration process

I got the map with the following characteristics:
1) In fact all the entities, however all of them
    are drawn using the node4 icon (no difference
    between end node, routers, etc )

2) THERE ARE NO LINKS between them
   All the entities are not connected ,i.e., there is no graphical 
    representation of:
    a) the backbone 
    b) the links


What is happening?
 
Maybe this is a stupid problem,
 
any help would be appreciate

	Hi Julio, Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. I am not sure why you are having the problems you have documented. From your note in .0 it seems liekyou are having two problems. 1. You don't see any connectivity for all the map objects. 2. All class of NODE4 icons have been replaced by a single generic node4 icon. In order to solve Q1, can compare the output of printenv HOME to the string /usr/var. If they are not the name then you need to copy all your map files generated by autoconfig to the directory pointed to by HOME. >>in fact in my home directory (/usr/var) are the DECmcc maps Your statement above makes me wonder if some how the definition of HOME directory is not setup appropriatly. typically HOME points to a user directory i.e Printenv HOME /usr/user1/smith Q2: Can you do an ls of /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mccnode4icon.dat? Please post the output here. Output from my system looks as follows: ls /usr/mcc/mcc_system/node4icon*.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_decnet_host_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_decnet_osi_host_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_decrouter_1_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_decrouter_2_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_decsta_ultrix_decnet_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_decstation_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_l1_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_l2_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_lavc_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_print_server_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_rack-demsa_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_rack-vax4000_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_vax3800_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_vax6000_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_vax_host_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_vaxsta_vms_decnet_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_vs3100_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_ws_vax_icon.dat At the very least you need the following icons to see end nodes, level1,level2 routers and cluster representations on the map. /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_l1_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_l2_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_lavc_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_icon.dat - Anil
3299.2	problem with DECnet IV autoconfiguration results...	MXOV06::LERIOS		`Thu Jul 09 1992 23:59`	45
	Thanks for your comments Anil, I am going to check you told me, However let me explain you how I solved (but not in a full way) the problem: In fact, with a procedure called mcc_copy_maps (or something like this) I copied the map files to /usr/var, I begin DECmcc: # mcc_iconic_map then If I open the domain (I called NAFINSA) which contains the results of the autoconfiguration process, the problem is that I specified in .0 NOW if I create another domain (WHATEVER thing by instance MEXICO) and then in this domain I create the domain (using the toolbox) who results of the autoconfiguration process, NAFINSA, ( remenber that this domain it was registered with the script: mcc_<domain>_registration.com then I am only drawing the iconic representation of it) then: THE PROBLEM WAS SOLVE!!!! If I want to see the what devices are included in the NAFINSA's subdomains I have to make the same thing, I am sure that the problem should be a stupid thing, I hope you have some comments about it Thanks in advance and regards Julio Lerios
3299.3	Did everything register successfully?	TOOK::FIGWER	Ulla Figwer LKG2-2/T2 x226-7858	`Tue Jul 14 1992 10:10`	32
	Hello Julio, Do you see the following files when you "ls /usr/mcc/mcc_system/*.dat"? /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_l1_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_l2_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_lavc_icon.dat /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_node4_icon.dat You mentioned that the icons you see when you open the domain are not connected. Are they all in straight rows in the upper left hand corner of the map? When you open the navigation window (click on the little square in the lower right corner of the map window), do you see any lines on the map? Do you know if all the entities in the domain were registered successfully? (Look at the file mcc_<domain name>_registration.log in the working directory for your domain.) If the entities were not registered successfully you may see disconnected icons and lines on the map in a separate place. Usually these lines are not visible until you look at the navigation window. Regards, Ulla
