3974.0. "MCC V1.2 + WAVE 2" by CALLAO::JOSEF (Jose Fernandez, Software Support Group Spain) Tue Oct 27 1992 11:29

	Hi,

	I'm installing DECMCC V1.2 ON DECnet/OSI for VMS (wave 2) and
	get a problem when registering phase IV nodes. The error message
	is: "Internal error in DECnet Phase IV AM".

	I've read several notes talking about many problems in this
	kind of configuration (mcc v1.2 + wave 2). However, these notes were
	dated in april-92 or before.

	I've also checked all quotas and sysgen parameters as some
	friend suggested, but everything is ok (mcc_audit is good
	for this).

	Is this a known problem? Is there any fix for it?

	Any idea is welcome.

	Thanks,
	Jose

    Ooooooooops!
    
    I forgot to say that the version of DECnet/OSI I installed is the
    SSB one, no field test at all.
    
    Thanks again for your help.

3974.2address arg requiredTOOK::PURRETTATue Oct 27 1992 13:366
    Are you supplying the address argument?  e.g.
    
    MCC> register node4 .foobar syn foobar, address = aa.nnnn
    
    This is required syntax when registering on DECnet phaseV nodes
    because there isn't a local phaseIV database.
3974.3Yes, I doCALLAO::JOSEFJose Fernandez, Software Support Group SpainThu Oct 29 1992 02:5812
    Yes, I supply the address and it still fails.
    
    When I try to register the node without the address, I get the message:
    
    "Node does not support this system-specific operation"
    
    Thanks for you answer.
    
    Any other idea?

    I know this sounds like a silly question, but are you _sure_
    you're running the V1.2 SSB version of MCC.  I remember this
    same bug was found and fixed late in the 1.2 fieldtest cycle.
    I just tried registering and deregistering nodes from my waveII
    system and can't reproduce the problem.
3974.5MCC SSB kit V1.2CALLAO::JOSEFJose Fernandez, Software Support Group SpainFri Oct 30 1992 10:466
    Yes, I installed the kit from the CD ROM.
    
    Do you suggest to re-install MCC from scratch?
    
    Thanks,
    Jose

3974.7SSB WaveII CML is the culpritTOOK::PURRETTAMon Nov 02 1992 17:3016
Jose,

I have some bad news.  It turns out that a change made to the waveII
software just before they submitted SSB broke our code.  I've been
on the phone with the developer, he knows what happened and how to fix it.
He's going to distribute a fix as soon as he finds out the proper method.

So, if you're an internal site and you still have access to BL12_G, which
I believe was the last baselevel, re-install that and phaseIV requests
from MCC will succeed.  Otherwise, you'll need to manage your phaseIV nodes
from a phaseIV system.

I'll post a note in this conference warning others of this problem.

John

    John,
    
    News are always welcome (good or bad). I'll try to go with the BL12_G.
    
    Thanks for your help.
