6460.0. "Register NODE4 prob., Internal erro in DECnet Phase IV AM" by MUNICH::FERSTL () Wed Aug 21 1996 19:04

Hi,

a customer is trying to register NODE4 systems and has problems.
Not with all NODE4 systems, but with some of them.
(MCC-SYSTEM:  VMS 6.1, MCC 1.4, OSI 6.3)


When he tries to register with

MCC> REGISTER NODE4 dns-fullname SYNONYM nodesynonym, ADDRESS xx.yy

he gets the error:

 Partial registration success. Please retry later to complete the registration
 Internal error in DECnet Phase IV AM


Before this he registered the node in DNS with DECNET_REGISTER.
I hope this is the right way to do it. Right?


The customer uses DNS and I assume this is a problem with DNS and not
necessarily with DECmcc. 
Am I right?

The strange thing is that some nodes are registered in DECMCC with 
            Registered Name = COMBA:.DNA_NodeSynonym.nodename

I think this isn't correct.

Any input what's wrong here?

Thanks 

Birgit Blasch/ DSC Munich

6460.1Bad way to register node !DSVB03::TABONEThu Aug 22 1996 10:4711
Hi Birgit,

>Before this he registered the node in DNS with DECNET_REGISTER.
>I hope this is the right way to do it. Right?

No, that's not the right way. You don't have to register nodes using
DECNET_REGISTER. MCC adds some attributes when it does a node registration.
So, you must register/deregister nodes using MCC and not DECNET_REGISTER.

Hope this helps you,

6460.2Downgrade to DECnet OSI V6.2TAEC::BEROUDTelecom Engineering - MCC maintenance- VBE - Dtn: 828-5244Tue Sep 03 1996 19:107
The problem has be identified.

MCC cann't register any phase 4 node with DECnet OSI V6.3

The solution is to downgrade the system to DECnet OSI V6.2
