2150.0. "decnsetup V3.2B problems - no dns" by CHEFS::ELLERBY_J () Tue Mar 25 1997 15:28

    Could anybody offer assistance with an installation/configuration
    problem I'm having.
    
    I'm running OSF V3.2G with DECnet OSI V3.2B plus the latest patch to
    dnsclerk. I have been running quite happily with this setup for a couple
    of weeks, but unfortunately we ran out of disk space over the last
    week. This may have been the cause of my problems. I am no longer able to
    restart DECnet since I have cleaned up the disk space.
    
    Having shutdown decnet and then restarted decnet unsuccessfully I decided to
    reconfigure, however, the decnetsetup advanced procedure failed when
    trying to look at /var/dna/dna_version, it was an empty file. I am assuming
    this file got corrupted somehow.
    
    I corrected this file (recreated info inside), but I still hit failures
    further into the setup/startup phase. At this time I decided it may be
    best to simply deinstall and reinstall.
    
    After reinstalling the startup phase of the setup procedure still
    fails. It is unable to issue any ncl command relating to the node
    entity without hanging. The following is a log extract using the
    command sh -x decnetsetup advanced
    
    The final command (an ncl rename) is when the startup hangs, forcing me to
    CTRL-C. I have also tried a show node 0 stat and this command hangs
    also. The rest of DECnet seems to have started fine (routing circuit,
    adjacencies running etc) but dns is not coming up.
    
    I haven't rebooted the system yet, but I will be doing so shortly.
    
    Hopefully, the reboot will sort things out, but if not ???

2150.1No further progressCHEFS::ELLERBY_JThu Mar 27 1997 14:42179
    I've tried rebooting to no avail.
    
    Here's a log of /sbin/init.d/decnetosi START
    
    The startup seems to mess up on DNS. I assume I've trashed something on
    the system somehwere, but if a setld -d followed by setld -l doesn't
    fix it, where do I look next ? Any pointers as to what files I might be
    missing ?

    From your log I notice that session is not starting succesfully.
    That might be the next step to investigate.  You might try
    deleting the session data bases (/var/dna/session*) and then
    rerunning decnetsetup.  --  Vince
    
2150.3Session control not enabledCHEFS::ELLERBY_JTue Apr 01 1997 13:5312
    I managed to crack the problem just before the holiday, and it was
    indeed session control which wasn't coming up. I enabled session
    control through NCL and all worked well.
    
    It even survided a reboot and seperate decnetshutdown and startup. I
    obviously corrupted something.
    
    I'll take look at the /var/dna/session just for info.
    
    Thanks,
