3382.0. "MORE Accvios with SNMP/IMPM" by GWTEAL::WOESTEMEYER (Why??...Why not!!!) Fri Jul 17 1992 16:58

More Accvios with SNMP/TCPIP AM and the iconic MAP.  Customer is using 
MCC V1.1 amd has install TCPIP 1.1 including the patch MCCTCPIP_A011. 
SNMP entities can be registered and managed via the FCL fine.  If a new 
registration is attempted VIA the Iconic MAP it ACCVIOs.  If an already 
registered entity(via FCL) is placed on the map it shows up, but if 
selected any show againest it returns 'no such entity', if he goes into
children of the entity all are displayed, but as soon as he selects any 
of the children again it accvios. 

The only add/non standard part of this set up is he is using TVG multinet 
as his IP transport.

Any Ideas/suggestions Welcome.

3382.1Probably a Stack problem....CHRISB::BRIENENDECmcc LAN and SNMP Stuff...Mon Jul 20 1992 13:5826

   This looks like the stack problem (i.e. stack too small) discovered some
   time ago with DECmcc V1.1 IMPM and SNMP AM /TGV Multinet.

   The symptoms were:

	1. Works fine with FCL PM (which allowed the stack to grow
	   practically forever)

	2. Fails w ACCVIO when running with IMPM (which had a fixed
	   stack size to allow multiple threads)

   I thought that there was a fix for this problem (patch or logical?),
   but don't remember the details off hand.

   More information shortly...

3382.2sounds like a stack problem to me too BMAJOR::PERRYMon Jul 20 1992 17:1518
The V1.1 TCPIP AM would ACCVIO occasionally when trying to load vendor private
mibs from the mcc dictionary. The problem was that the AM would run out of stack
space. We issued a patch (MCCTCPIP_A011.A) which basically reduced our stack 
space consumtion. This patch seemed to solve the problem.

While testing the V1.2 TCPIP AM with TGV Multinet, we ran into 
stack problems again. We needed more stack space when using the 
Multinet software. Fortunately, in mcc V1.2 we could increase a management
modules's stack space by simply defining a logical (or environment variable).
For instance, we found that the TCPIP AM stack size needed to be set to
100 (define MCC_TCPIP_AM_STACK 100) to work with Multinet, otherwise, we would
get an ACCVIO. 

Unfortunately, there is NO WAY that I know of to increase the
stack size of the V1.1 TCPIP AM. We know the AM works with Multinet in V1.2
as long as the stack size is increased. Can the customer upgrade to mcc V1.2?
