3930.0. "AUTOCONFIG PROBS..." by JUNG::GALVIN () Tue Oct 20 1992 16:57

    		AUTOCONFIGURATION Problems
    
    
    	I'm getting an error message running Autoconfiguration:
    
    	ERROR CONTACTING SEED NODE
    	ERROR CONTACTING SEED NODES; PICK A NEW SEED NODE
    		ERROR:  DATA COLLECTION FAILED
    
    	Background, I'm running Client/Server.  Server is 3400 (VMS 5.5-1,
    MCC EMS V2.2); Client is DECPC 433 workstation, running LAT, as far as
    I know, (the customer set it up).
    
    	After building MCC and creating several domains, I ran a "first
    pass" test using the Autoconfiguration Services, and took all defaults. 
    I was able to successfully run and populate a domain called TEST.
    
    	I ran the MCC_TEST_DEREGISTER.COM and blew away all the entries,
    and then deleted the domain, using the IMPM; I used the
    delete/deregister icon.
    
    	In several attempts to run the Autoconfigurator, I keep getting the
    above message.  I've tried different options, with no luck.
    
    Here's a "brief" session I ran:
    
    
    	Prefixes Ok? Y
    	Domain? DNA4_SYS	! tried a different domain, which I created 
    				! *before* I ran AUTO...
    
    	Option ? 2		! Phase IV in selected area.
    	Options? 1		! Search by adjacency.
    
    	Starting Node [1.313]	! this is the SERVER addr.  I've tried it
    				! I've tried 1.873, which is the CLIENT.
    
    	Additional Node 1.873	! I've tried it both ways.
    
    	Area Include [1]: 1	! Area I want.
    
    	Area Exclude:  63	! arbitrary, I've tried several.
    
    
    	Any ideas?  Please send mail to JUNG::GALVIN if you have any ideas. 
    I'm at wit's end.  Thanks.

3930.1COPY_MAPS.COMJUNG::GALVINWed Oct 21 1992 13:0712
    
    	In addition to the above, I was wondering about the COPY_MAPS.CO. 
    How does this work?  Can I setup another domain and copy the data to
    the new domain, exit the IMPM and then viola'?  Is it that simple?
    
    thanks,

    ps.  I really just want to know what the ERROR CONTACTING SEED was all
    about....
