4739.0. "NODE lost children w/V1.3" by CTHQ::WOODCOCK () Mon Mar 22 1993 16:57

Hi there,

After upgrading to V1.3 SSB from V1.2 SSB a "NODE" object on the map gave
strange look-into. It used to give all the appropriate modules for a NODE
but after the upgrade a look-into only produced one child: MTS...  .

After a deregistration/registration all appears fine. Just thought I'd let
someone know.

FWIW I'm not sure how 'lucky' other users have been with the new install but
my hat's off. I had V1.2 SSB w/vms 5.4-3 and DECwindows and UCX 1.1. We 
upgraded DECwindows to MOTIF then UCX to V2.0. This was left in a working 
condition for a couple of weeks with no problems. We then upgraded to V1.3 SSB.

To my elation, all alarms were saved, all recordings were saved, and after
restarting all processes they all started polling!! Other than the above issue
and maybe the need to reregister SNMP objects to capture private MIBs this
went *very* smoothly. One monitor using an external data collector was working
which I didn't think was going to. My private map which blew up during f/t
even came up!!

50 minutes for INSTAL, 10 minutes to replace private icons, 5 minutes to
edit STARTUP for DNA5 sink and decomment other sinks, 10 minutes to restart all
processes, 60 minutes to verify all operations. 2 hours and a :-), made it
home for dinner.

cheers,
brad...

Hi Brad,

To increase the performance when looking into NODE via the IMPM, V1.3 now stores
all of the child entities in the MIR, instead of having to make excessive calls
to the NODE entity to find out what child entities are supported. Because of 
this you have to update the MIR for all node entities. 

You can either 

a) Reregister manually each node 

or 

b)

$ define MCC_REGISTRATION_FM_LOG 01000000
$ mana/ent
MCC> register node *
MCC> exit
$ deassign MCC_REGISTRATION_FM_LOG

The same also applies to SNMP

Cheers

4739.2docs...what docs? :)CTHQ::WOODCOCKTue Mar 23 1993 11:506
Ian,

Thanks much. Hadn't got to the docs yet: sacrilege, my fault.

Ian,

Does that  mean  that  when  we provide you with a new version of the DECNIS
software  that implements a new module (DDCMP, FRBS, PPP, whatever) that you
will  have to deregister and register each node manually to get look-into to
work? I would have thought that was unacceptable.

4739.4Manual update is requiredRDGENG::PRATTSat Mar 27 1993 15:4410
    Graham,
    
    You can either deregister, re-register each node, or else use the
    toolbox to add the new module to the list of child entities supported.
    Either way it is a manual process, and will need to be done for each
    node that is registered. I'm not sure if once a node is registered that
    you can do a 'mcc> register node *' using the FCL and it will then go
    out and reregister everything. Maybe John Purretta can answer this.

4739.5Register Node * works if....TOOK::CAREYTue Mar 30 1993 12:2719
    
    There's another note in here that details how to use the
    "register node *" approach.  Setting the registration logical
    appropriately causes registration to process this request by
    re-registering all of the children of all of the currently registered
    nodes in your database.
    
    Leaving this logical would cause this to be the normal behavior of
    DECmcc, so that issuing a command to "register node router-1" would
    re-register all of the children of router-1 if it was already
    registered, and of course would register it normally if it wasn't
    already registered.
    
    Erik, do you  have the note number describing this close at hand?  We
    did this to provide simple update tools for the migration from V1.2 to
    V1.3.
