6362.0. "Problems registering node4 and node5's" by SHIPS::SMITH_JJ (Jeff Smith) Fri Aug 18 1995 14:58

    We are having some problems with registering entities on DECmcc 1.4,
    running on OpenVMS 6.1 and DECnet/OSI 6.2.
    
    1. Any attempt to register a phase 4 node gives a phase 4 access module
    internal error window.  We can find no workround.
    
    2. Trying to register a phase 5 node does not prompt us for the
    addressing information, and completes only partially.  It seems to put
    some information into DNS, but not the address (obviously) or the
    Synonym name.  If we add the DNS towers and synonym information with
    DECNET_REGISTER, then the node is still not reachable, even with SET
    HOST, until we do an NCL> FLUSH SESSION CONTROL NAMING CACHE ENTRY
    "nodename" command.
    
    The workround is to first fully register the node with DECNET_REGISTER,
    and then to register in MCC.
    
    3. Deregistering a phase 4 node, and reregistering it as a phase 5 node
    resulted in a crash of MCC, access violation from PC=01a2b0e4,
    PSL=03C00004.  
    
    Any thoughts?
    
    Thanks,

Hi Jeff,

This is not a workaround this is the way it must be done.

- decnet_register for the node (phase IV or phase V).
- register node .<mynode> synonym <mynode>   for phase V nodes
- register node4 .<mynode> addr xx.yyy       for phase IV nodes.

That way it should work.

Hope this helps,

Benoit
