5373.0. "Alarm, ULTRIX, DNS Problem" by ZUR01::SCHNEIDERR () Thu Jul 22 1993 06:08

Hello,

We run DECmcc (V1.3) on ULTRIX (4.3a). We use DNS. The DNSserver is a VMS system.
We have the a problem with alarm rules. We do the following:

1.We created an alarm rule for a bridge 

MCC> create domain roche:.mcc_kau.bas_bridge -
   rule bridge_rb$b_0057_line2_collision_limit_exceeded -
   expression = (change_of (bridge roche:.bas.rb$b_0057 line 2
   collision limit exceeded, *,*), at  every=00:30)
   severity   = major

2. The rule doesnt work.

MCC> show domain roche:.mcc_kau.bas_bridge Rule
   bridge_rb$b_0057_line2_collision_limit_exceeded all status

   Domain roche:.mcc_kau.bas_bridge Rule bridge_rb$b_0057_line2_
   collision_limit_exceeded
   AT 1993-07-07-11:56:38.887 Status
   Examination of attributes shows:
                       State = Enabled
                    Substate = Running
     Time of Last Evaluation = 1993-07-07-11:56:26.477
   Result of Last Evaluation = Error
             Error Condition = "The entity Bridge LOCAL_NS:.bas.
   rb$b_0057 LINE 2 is not registered"
                Error Entity = Bridge 0:.bas.rb$b_0057 LINE 2
            Current Severity = Indeterminate
                                               

You see, The entity we want to check via the rule is "1roche:.bas.rb$b_0057 
line 2" but the rule checks the entity "LOCAL_NS:.bas.rb$b_0057 LINE 2". We 
work with the namespace "roche" and not "local_ns".

Whats the problem? Is it a bug? Is there a fix for?

5373.1Alarms is using MIR instead of DNSTOOK::KWAKThu Jul 22 1993 10:0619
    
    Check the logical MCC_DNS_SELECTION.
    Make sure that the logical is defined to be DNS.
    
    It may be possible that your Alarm rule was created when the
    MCC_DNS_SELECTION was set to MIR.
    It may also be possible that the Alarm module running on system
    is using MIR instead of DNS.
    
    You can do following:
        $ mcc_kill
        $ manage
        MCC> sho mcc 0 all char
        MCC> enroll mcc_alarms_fm
        MCC>! create the rule ....

5373.2We checked this beforeZUR01::SCHNEIDERRFri Jul 23 1993 02:5317
William,

Thanks for your answer. This system is runing for some time already. The 
MCC_DNS_SELECTION is set right. We didin't change it. The customer worked a 
lot with this machine. There are hunderts of nodes registered, all under DNS.

We will  try to reenroll the alarms_fm, but I think there will be no changes.

5373.3Now it worksZUR01::SCHNEIDERRFri Jul 23 1993 11:089
William,

The hint with reenroll the alarm FM was good. We did it and now it works.

Now I know more about the history of this system but why we had to reenroll I
don't know. This customer had an MCC VMS system with DNS and now he changed to 
MCC ULTRIX. Maybe something went wrong during the new installation.

Now it works....Thanks...Roland
5373.4still the same problemZUR01::SCHNEIDERRWed Jul 28 1993 05:039
William,

Sorry, to say that. We have still the same problem. Reenroll of the alarm_fm 
didn't help. We saw it now after we made some more investigations.


So..still the same problem
