5256.0. "DECnet Autoconfig Crashes" by ANGLIN::CLAYTON (Merlin Clayton DTN 445-7217) Thu Jun 24 1993 11:31

While trying to do a DECnet Autoconfig I get a stack dump when the procedure
begins generating the map files.  The dialog for the specific auto
config is attached.  In general I'm just trying to do an autoconfig for a
specific area.  The attached dialog is for level 2 routers in a specific area
(45), but the same error occurs when I do the autoconfig for all nodes in a
specific area.

This first happened at a customer's site, but I am able to create the problem
at will here on my MCC system in the office.

Is this a known problem?

Have I done something wrong in responding to the prompts during the setup 
process?

As an FYI... When running the autoconfig for ALL decnet PH IV nodes 
(selection #1 from the menu), the auto config completed without error.

Please let me know if this a known problem, or whether this should be QAR'd.

Thanks.

Merlin

        Welcome to DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration

        Type '?' for Help or 'Q' to Quit, at any of the prompts.


        Checking the namespace.  This will take a moment.  Please wait...

        DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration will use the following prefixes
        to generate fullnames for registration:

            Entity Class  Prefix

            DOMAIN        .domain.
            NODE4         .dna_node.
            SNMP          .ip.

o  Are the above prefixes ok? Y/N [Y]:<cr>

o  Please specify a domain: dna

        Based on the prefix file on your system
        DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration will use the domain
            ".domain.DNA".

o  Is ".domain.DNA" the correct domain name? Y/N [Y]:<cr>

        DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration will use the base directory
        "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]".

o  Is "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]" the correct base directory? Y/N [Y]: n<cr>

o  Please specify a base directory: mcc_user<cr>

        DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration will use the base directory
        "$1$DKA100:[MCC_USER]".

o  Is "$1$DKA100:[MCC_USER]" the correct base directory? Y/N [Y]:<cr>

        DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration will use
        "$1$DKA100:[MCC_USER.DNA4.DNA]" as a working
        directory.

        DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration will copy DECmcc Map
        files to MCC_MAPS, which is currently pointing
        to the directory "$1$DKA100:[MCC_USER.DNA4.DNA]".
    o  Type N to prevent copying DECmcc Map files to
   "$1$DKA100:[MCC_USER.DNA4.DNA]". Y/N [Y]:<cr>

        Please choose one of the following
        DECnet Phase IV Autoconfiguration options:

        [1] Discovery
        [2] Discovery and Registration
        [3] Creation of Map and Registration Files
        [4] Registration

        Note that it is possible to view DECmcc Maps before running
        registration, using the "DECmcc Map Snapshots" option.
        If you wish to do this, choose option [1].

o  Enter option [2]: 1<cr>

        Please choose one of the following configurations:

        [1] All DECnet Phase IV nodes
        [2] All DECnet Phase IV nodes in selected area(s)
        [3] All DECnet Phase IV nodes in a LAN
   
        [4] All level 1 and level 2 DECnet Phase IV routers
        [5] ALL level 1 and level 2 DECnet Phase IV routers in selected area(s)
        [6] ALL level 1 and level 2 DECnet Phase IV routers on the LAN

        [7] All level 2 DECnet Phase IV routers
        [8] All level 2 DECnet Phase IV routers in selected area(s)
        [9] All level 2 DECnet Phase IV routers in the LAN

o  Enter option [2]: 8<cr>

        Please choose a search method:

        [1] Search by adjacency
        [2] Search by address

o  Enter option [1]:<cr>

         Please specify starting nodes for the search.
         Enter one node at a time.

o  Starting node [45.385]:<cr>    	(local MCC node id)
        Press RETURN to end the list.

o  Additional starting node(s) [45.385]:<cr>

        Please specify areas to include in the search.

        Enter one area at a time.

o  Area to include [45]:<cr>

        Press RETURN to end the list.
