3170.0. "RECOVER DDS fail to create config and database files" by GIDDAY::LEH () Mon Feb 17 1997 06:18

MR V3.3-313 on VMS 6.2 running DECnet IV

Failure to do RECOVER DDS on node BRIGGS, a MicroVAX 3900, as part of the 
cluster CBTEST, comprising of

 BRIGGS  VMS V6.2  MEMBER  
 HAWKER  VMS V6.2  MEMBER  

where HAWKER is an Alpha.

This was the fresh installation of MR on the VAX, where remote MR will be used 
on the Alpha to eventually support IOS 3.2

Ob BRIGGS, logicals

  "MR$NODE" = "BRIGGS::"022=""
  "OA$A1_CLUSTER_NODE" = "BRIGGS"
  "OA$PRIMARY_NODE" = "BRIGGS"
  "PRINTER_NODE" = "HAWKER"
  "SHUTDOWN$INFORM_NODES" = "BRIGGS"
  "SYS$CLUSTER_NODE" = "CBTEST::"
  "SYS$DECDTM_NODE_ADDRESS" = "1128"
  "SYS$DECDTM_NODE_NAME" = "BRIGGS"
  "SYS$NODE" = "BRIGGS::"
  "SYS_NODE_LIST" = "HAWKER"

are set, and its NCP had Alias incoming disabled

Have tried the basic config, DEFAULT on this node; but consistently failed 
with

%MB-E-DDSERR, error during MBMAN set configuration
%MB-E-MBC$RECERR, Problem during configuration database recovery phase for DDS

where DDS config file and its database files weren't created

MB$DDSCVP passed file checking stage, but failed afterwards

.........
        Starting the MBMAN utility

        Starting the Directory Service

%DDS-W-NOMSG, Message number 01458090

    I'm a bit confused on what you are trying to accomplish.
    
    Do you want MR to use the cluster alias or not? Also, how did you 
    answer the question about using cluster alias during the CREATE MB?
    Why did you disable alias incoming on the VAX member?
    
    Assuming Phase IV on both Alpha and VAX, your config choices are:
    1) Use the alias, in which case you would answer Yes to the CREATE MB
    	alias question and disable alias incoming on the *ALPHA* member
    	(and use the alias if this was to be the DDS master node)
    2) Don't use the alias, in which case you would answer No to CREATE MB,
    	leave the alias enabled, disabled, or non-existant as you choose
    	(and use the VAX nodename if this was to be the DDS master node)
    
    Basically, you are choosing how MR will be referenced by other nodes
    in the network. If you choose to use the alias, then other nodes in
    the network are expected to connect to the cluster alias (and since MR
    is not running on the Alpha and you are running Phase IV, you should
    disable alias incoming on the Alpha so that random connects to the
    alias won't get the member that isn't running MR). If you choose not
    to use the alias, then other nodes in the network will connect to MR
    on one specific node in the cluster (the VAX) using it's nodename, and
    what you do or don't do with the alias is immaterial. If you choose
    the latter option, you can only run full MR on that one specific node
    (ie if there is more than one VAX member, only the "primary MR node"
    can run all the talkers, listeners, servers, etc). If you choose the
    former option (with Phase IV decnet) then all nodes with alias incoming
    enabled can run full MR. (I won't get into the MINSTART variations).
    
    And of course whichever choice you make needs to be reflected in the
    way you configure ALL-IN-1 on the cluster members.
    
    BTW, I see in .0 this was being done from the FIELD account.
    Does FIELD meet all the account priv and quota requirments?

Easy answers first:

>    answer the question about using cluster alias during the CREATE MB?

In this instance when the base note was entered, 
	Reply of N(o) during CREATE MB

>    Why did you disable alias incoming on the VAX member?

Didn't want to use alias

>    BTW, I see in .0 this was being done from the FIELD account.
>    Does FIELD meet all the account priv and quota requirments?

Yes, same problem when I used SYSTEM account today

I learned of more problem details from customer. Their MR upgrade installation 
failed on DDS IVP with

interactive execution: @MB$MBC_BRIGGS_DDSCNF.TMP failed at the step

with error 	%MB-E-DDSERR, DDS request failed
		-DDS-E-NOSUP, Function not supported

I tried myself with another installation with full VMSINSTAL OPTIONS tracing 
but failed to pick out anything revealing while getting the same error

A colleguage suspected this VAX was a restore from tape backup and as such, 
previous MR settings e.g. UIC for the MBMANAGER account [UCX$AUX,MBMANAGER]
can't be changed in an upgrade installation. 

How cleaner should this system be, i.e. removing existing UAF accounts/rights 
iden, deleting existing [MB$...] files etc.. ?

    I'm not really sure what to tell you... The fact that the install
    procedure says it found a previous installation would seem to indicate
    this was not a fresh install. The only place I can think of where you
    are likely to get DDS-E-NOSUP is from the *REMOTE* DDS access image
    (SYS$LIBRARY:DDS$RMT_VAX // SYS$LIBRARY:DDS$RMT_ALPHA). Is there a 
    DDS$SHAR logical or DDS$CONFIG logical name table on your system? 
    
    If you want to try a semi-clean install, get rid of the SYSUAF and
    RIGHTSLIST entries for anything MR related, and delete the [MB$...] 
    tree and also sys$manager:mb$location.com.
    
    Dave
3170.4yes, it's the remote setup DDS$SHARGIDDAY::LEHWed Feb 19 1997 05:1631
Dave 

As you pointed out correctly (as always), there existed a system logical 

  "DDS$SHAR" [exec] = "SYS$LIBRARY:DDS$RMT_VAX.EXE"

probably thanks to the ex-status of the current node, i.e. relying on a remote
MR setup in the past. It was believed this node was re-created from a backup
tape restoration; unfortunately, the above check on this logical had been 
overlooked.

As MR installation and configuration also failed to alert this unusal incident,
is there any diagnostic tool that might have revealed the setup? I was thinking
of MB$DEV$STATE but never got around to use it. I looked briefly at the output
of VMSINSTAL with options D(ebug) but nothing stood out.

The 'extra' time in enabling the tracing, audit alarm, plus comparing with 
the setup on a working system has been useful in understanding various working
phases of DDS config, e.g. DDS$CONFIG and database files not created/updated
until the command ACCEPT DDS CONFIG is executed. Furthermore, temporary files

MB$MBC_BRIGGS_DDSCNF.TMP, MB$MBC_BRIGGS_DDSDBUPD.TMP MB$MBC_BRIGGS_DDSNCP.TMP

also indicated various DDS updating 'behind the scene"

Glad your suggestion has saved another late night call to you for help

Thanks

>>is there any diagnostic tool that might have revealed the setup?
    
    The DDS$SHAR logical and DDS$CONFIG logical name table are created by 
    SYS$MANAGER:DDS$STARTUP.COM (not to be confused with DDS$START.COM,
    which is the procedure kicked off by mb$control) and would typically
    be explicitly invoked in the system startup procedure. I don't know if
    you consider 'TYPE SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM' a "diagnostic tool", 
    but it would have "revealed the setup" :-)

I was thinking of , in addition to VMSINSTAL OPTIONS switches, any intelligent 
alerts from MR/DDS utilities such as instal or config that might detect the 
existence of DDS$SHAR when an attempt to install or configure is invoked.

Failure at DDS IVP stage was very unusual; more so when no config file and 
database were created.
