253.0. "BRS config and alarms feed problems" by ROM01::CALDONI () Wed Apr 16 1997 11:44

Hello,

using brs$config I ran into a couple of bugs. First, when I configure a DECNIS
with OSI access the brs$config program generates wrong syntax for the MCC 
register command. It writes the line like this:

REGISTER NODE xxxxx SYNONYM xxxx , -
CREATE DOMAIN yyyyy MEMBER xxxxx

Obviously the BRS$CONFIG_MCC_DOMAIN.COM fails on the CREATE directive.

Second, on the BRS$CONFIG menu the SETUP SERVER options fails with the folowing
in the log file:

-f-exists, file GET_CIRC.TMP already exists, non superseded...

I'm using BRS 1.4 with OVMS VAX 6.2 and DECOSI 6.3 eco level 6.

Second issue: PCM receives MCC alarms from the first site only once, as soon as
I start up BRS or when I DISABLE/ENABLE Framework alarms from OMS management.
Then PCM receives only MCC alarms from second site. The alarms are correctly
displayed in the Framework Notification window for both sites.

Any clue?

What's the date of your BRS V1.4 kit?

There was a V4.1-1 kit produced.

I can't find it in the release notes, but I reviewed the CMS entries for 
BRS V1.4 ECO 1 and there are several references to fixing DECNIS problems.


The kit is at:

I'm not sure what you mean here.

Only the Primary OMS is running the Framework alarms.
Look for a batch job BRS$MCCRULES.

Then the BRS$ENS_MCC process places all messages to the ENS window. The Primary
OMS is also running PCM, and displays the ENS window to all OMS users.

OK, I've got the November 1995 CDROM distribution, BRSCDV14, so I suppose 
the save sets are earlier dated than 21-JUN-1996. Hope the new kit fixes the
first problem. 
To explain better the second, I configured one OMS station and two sites (so a
cluster with four members). The sites are connected thru FDDI
and two GIGASWITCH with latest firmware (3.11). When I start the OMS interface
and therefore the PCM ENS window I get messages from both sites. But I noticed
that I receive power cabinet, fan, interface messages from one GIGASWITHC only
when I start the PCM interface or when I disable/enable at once the FRAMEWORK
alarms. Instead in the Framework Notification window every five minutes I get
INDETERMINATE messages about cabinet, power, fans from one GIGASWITH. Shouldn't
these messages be displayed also in the ENS window? Again I receive
INDETERMINATE messages in the Framework window about DS200 terminal servers
that do not appear in ENS. By the way the TSAM module is not considered in the
BRS$INSTAL menu, neither a license, and also it doesn't work under DECnet /OSI.
I also installed the latest patch (fix04) of TSAM but when I issue a show
command to a terminal server I get a "Termserver_AM is disabled", and the 
MCC_TS_AM_SRV process is up and runnig. 

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
