6357.0. "MCC crashes after OpenVMS V6.2 upgrade!" by DPDMAI::GALVIN (The Energizer Bunny's Trainer...) Tue Aug 08 1995 21:08

    
    	MCC CRASHES ON OPENVMS PLATFORM
    
    
    Am I the only one using DECmcc on an OpenVMS platform?  I have recently
    upgraded my system platform to OpenVMS V6.2; I've also upgraded my
    DECnet/OSI to V6.2 and Motif is at V1.2
    
    I can crash the IMPM with regularity... For example, I try to monitor
     a DECnis router (entity class, NODE) looking at ROUTING CIRCUIT
    counters will crash it... looking at STATUS will crash it...etc.
    
    Has anyone upgraded recently?  This is a BIG problem.

6357.1DECmcc on VMS6.2 not yet supported.DSVB03::TABONEWed Aug 09 1995 18:5327
Hello Mic,

Please find below the official statement from DECmcc Product Manager.

"This may be a normal occurance since DECmcc V1.4 
has not been tested or qualified on OpenVMS V6.2.  It is currently qualified on 
version 6.1 of OpenVMS for VAX.  If you would like to have this problem 
resolved, we can do it, however, at this point in time, it would be a paid 
consulting effort.  If you are ready to pay such a fee (approx. $15 K), then we 
can schedule a time for it to be done."
For more information about that, please ask directly to Susan at 
	ulysse::Pomerleau


But, I can tell you that another customer runs DECmcc with the following 
configuration (he has some problem using DNS but no crash of MCC).

OpenVMS V6.2, DEcnet/OSI V6.2 DNS server V2.0 and DECmcc BMS V1.4-1.

That's run correctly after the upgrade of VMS in a system already running MCC.
From scratch, there are some problem with DNS.
Maybe you have a configuration problem !

Hope this help you.

Best regards,
Philippe
6357.2local namespace? Motif?DPDMAI::GALVINThe Energizer Bunny's Trainer...Thu Aug 10 1995 01:5620
    Phillipe,
    
    >>> maybe you have a configuration problem...
    
    Don't think that is is.  I am, however, running local namespace, which
    sounds different from what you describe and as a matter of fact sounds
    too familiar... you state the customer has a DNS problem?  Please share
    more...
    
    What is the version of Motif your friend is running?  I have seen
    numerous failures, using all different types of entity classes, ie:
    SNMP, CMIP, etc.
    
    Regarding certification on OpenVMS V6.2 for MCC... I would hope this is
    forthcoming... many clients appear to be headed in the UNIX direction.
    This also would point them at TeMIP and/or PNV, yes?

6357.3The problem is in MCC not in DNS.AZUR::DURIFThu Aug 10 1995 09:5916
Hi Mic,

>From scratch, there are some problem with DNS.

Philippe did not wrote the problem is IN DNS.

In fact it is not a run time problem. Users trying to init new DNS server V2
for use by MCC have problems because MCC procedure creating DNS directories
is not up to date.

I do not know customer config but we have stations running VMS 6.1
and Motif 1.2-3 without problems.

Hope this helps,

Benoit
