6191.0. "MCC_IP_POLLER most recent version" by SALUD::ORTIZ () Wed Dec 07 1994 15:45

    Does anyone know what the most recent image version is out for
    MCC_IP_POOLER.EXE? My customer is running VMS V5.5-2. 
    
    Thanks,

6191.1MCC_IP_POLLER.EXE for V5.5-2CUJO::BROWNDave BrownTue Dec 13 1994 16:5514
    
    
    	I too would like to check for the latest version of
    MCC_IP_POLLER.EXE. The latest version I have has the following ID:
    
    	image ident "MCCPOL X1.0-A"
    	link data and time "27-JUL-1993 16:02:23.50"
    
    	Is this a reasonably late image? Are there known problems with it?
    Are there better versions?
    
    	Thanks,
    
    	Dave
6191.2X1.0-A 27-JUN-1993 going on soon...CUJO::BROWNDave BrownWed Dec 14 1994 13:048
    
    
    	I've been testing the poller image mentioned in .1 for 24 hours;
    its scheduled to be put on the customer's main NMS very soon. I guess
    we'll let them tell us how well it works and how stable it is.
    Hopefully, it will work out alright.

6191.3We've got a problem here...CUJO::BROWNDave BrownTue Jan 17 1995 21:2539
    
    
    	Re: -1 
    
    	The Poller image mentioned in the previous note does some things
    the customer does not like:
    
    	1) They are now getting IP reachibility notifications from domains
    	   that have nothing to do with the current domain.
    
    	2) Within the correct domain, sometimes the IP poller simply stops 
    	   reporting IP unreachibilities until the system is rebooted. Last 
    	   week, there was a 5 hour period of time at which the poller reported
    	   no unreachibilities although there were systems going up and 
    	   down.
    
    	3) There is still a problem with IP unreachibilities being reported 
    	   for hosts who have no IP reachibility problem. This problem also 
    	   existed with the SSB version of the poller image. 
    
        4) The customer has to try many POLL_INTERVAL, TIMEOUT, and RETRY
           value combinations in order to not have an inordinant quantity 
    	   of IP reachibilities being reported in error. We are aware of
    	   the formula used to derive the values; the values that work the
    	   best do not conform with the formula.   
    
    	5) When the poller is disabled, the poller process exits instead of
    	   staying around. 
    
    	IMPORTANT QUESTION:
    	-------------------
    
    	  Is there a new Poller Image that has been created under a CFS
    case or otherwise? If not, we will probably IPMT this issue stating the
    above 5 issues as the problem.
    
    	Thanks,
