3992.0. "TCP/IP entity, registration problem" by ROMTSS::GALLANA () Thu Oct 29 1992 10:49

Hello,

I have just installed DECmcc V1.2 and I'm trying to register some 

TCP/IP nodes but I get the following message:

==================================================================

MCC> register snmp msumgr address 16.192.96.58

SNMP ROMMCC_NS:.msumgr
AT 29-OCT-1992 16:34:08

Partial registration success. Please retry later to complete the 
registration.
        Reason for Partial Registration = Identifier attributes for 
unreachable
                                          entity are:
                        Registered Name = ROMMCC_NS:.msumgr
                                Address = 16.192.96.58
                                   Name = MSUMGR
MCC>
=======================================================================

MSUMGR is a DS3100 running ULTRIX V4.1

Note that  UCX loop MSUMGR runs without problems.

    I get the same problem also running the REGISTRATION from DEC-window
    toolbox
    
    
I tried also the following tests:


==================================================

$ mana/enter
DECmcc (V1.2.0)

MCC> TEST SNMP MSUMGR

SNMP MSUMGR
AT 29-OCT-1992 16:30:01

Test successful.
MCC> TEST SNMP MSUMGR

SNMP MSUMGR
AT 29-OCT-1992 16:30:04

Test unsuccessful: no answer from host.
MCC>
=====================================================


I'm not able to understand why the first TEST runs without any problem and 
the second (and the following also) fails.

Note that sometimes (without any special condition) the TEST command runs 
without any problem ..........


In the SYSTARTUP_V5.COM  UCX starts before DECmcc.


UCX is configured as follows:

3992.1SNMP agent?TOOK::MINTZLKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033Thu Oct 29 1992 11:286
Is there an SNMP agent running on the system that you are trying to
register?  UCX loop just checks to see if the system is reachable
via IP/ICMP; it does not check for an SNMP agent.



3992.2what kind of problem is it?ROMTSS::GALLANAThu Oct 29 1992 12:2126
At 6 o'clock (local time) I was able to register both nodes
    (MSUMGR - ULTRIX with SNMP and
     ROMTSS - VMS V5.4.3 with UCX v2.0 , SNMP agent also)
    
    Note that I didn't do anything special to make it working
    
    
    After that I closed DECmcc and I activated it again...
    (I tried with both the DECwindow inteface and the commnad interface)
            
                  it doesn't work again:
    
    the first time I TEST the entity I get  "test successfull",
    
    the second, third, ... time and i get  
    
    		"test unsuccessful: no answer from host"
    
    If I exit and then I reenter in DECmcc I'm able to test the SNMP but
    only the first time ...
    
    
    What kind of problem is it?

3992.3is it a phantom bug?ROMTSS::GALLANAThu Oct 29 1992 13:0019
    I've tried to isolate the problem but it seems to be like a phantom:
    
    infact entering in DECmcc I'm not able to SHO CHARACTERISTICS
    
    I get the message 
    
    Internet communication device error %NONAME-W-NOMSG,
    Messge number 000000
                                   
    but sometime, doing DIRECTORY or SHOW STATISTICS they runs
    
    after that I'm able to do everything: SHOW .... TEST ...  GRAPH..
    
    
    it it a phantom?
    
    I'll try tomorrow to reinstall DNS and DECmcc and UCX
    
    bye
3992.4What version of UCX are you running?TOOK::GUERTINDon't waffle (unless you want to)Thu Oct 29 1992 13:010
3992.5UCX T2.0-21ROMOIS::GALLANAFri Oct 30 1992 03:162
    mage file identification: "UCX T2.0-21"
    
3992.6UDP TIMEOUT?VCSESU::WADEBill Wade, VAXc Systems & Support EngFri Oct 30 1992 09:367
    
    Just a shot in the dark but you may want to try increasing the the UDP
    timeout from the default of 5 seconds.  I've found that 5 seconds is an
    optimistic value at times.
        
    	mcc> set mcc 0 tcpip udp timeout 30
    
3992.7UDP = 30 doesn't solve the problemROMOIS::GALLANAFri Oct 30 1992 10:344
    no way, the first TEST command runs, the second ...etc... fail
    
    UDP doesn't solve the problem
    
3992.8Why field test?TOOK::MINTZLKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033Fri Oct 30 1992 11:384
Someone more familiar with the module will probably answer,
but I would certainly be concerned about results based on a field
test version of UCX.  Can you upgrade to the SSB version?

3992.9SSB version of UCX020 worksROMOIS::GALLANAMon Nov 02 1992 05:417
    I just installed SSB version of UCX
    
    Now everything works
    
    Many thanks for YOUR cooperation
