573.0. "DECnet Phase V AM problem" by MINDER::ROXBURGH () Thu Dec 20 1990 14:16

    How do I manage my Ultrix Phase V node from DECmcc?
    
    The node is registered in DNS using the Ultrix decnet_dns_register
    procedure but if I try to access it from DECmcc I get
    
    MCC> show node arcosi_ns:.sdec.arrest all id
    
    Node ARCOSI_NS:.sdec.arrest
    AT 20-DEC-1990 13:46:26 Identifiers
    
    The requested operation cannot be completed
                Entity Existence Info = Entity Existence Cannot Be Determined,
                    VMS Routine Error = %MCC-E-VERSION_ERROR, error in
                                        Version value
    
    
    MCC> register node arcosi_ns:.sdec.arrest synonym arrest
    
    Node ARCOSI_NS:.sdec.arrest

    The requested operation cannot be completed
            MCC Unhandled Service Reply = The requested operation cannot be
                                              completed
                 Entity Existence Info = Entity Existence Cannot Be Determined
                       VMS Routine Error = %MCC-E-VERSION_ERROR, error in
                                           Version value
    
    
    The register operation creates the MCC_Class,MCC_UID and MCC_Version
    attributes but deletes the original DNA$NodeSynonym attribute.

573.1TURKEY::J_HALPINYOU REMIND ME OF A SMALL MEXICAN CHIHUAHUAThu Dec 20 1990 20:4544

	Alistair,

		First off. Due to a problem with the current release of
DECnet-Ultrix Phase V, DECmcc cannot register any Phase V Ultrix systems.
The Ultrix systems are returning invalid FullNames, which cause the DECmcc
registration to fail. And when the registration fails, the DECmcc removes
the synonym from DNS. Until DECnet-Ultrix returns valid Fullnames, don't
try to Register thru DECmcc


	As for your other problem:

>    AT 20-DEC-1990 13:46:26 Identifiers

>                                        Version value


	The VERSION-ERROR tells me that you're trying to connect to a Phase
IV system (NML). (Yes, the error message stinks, it has been fixed in the
next release.) The Synonym ARREST must be defined in your local Phase IV
Remote Node database (NETNODE_REMOTE.DAT) and point to a Phase V system. 

	When the DNA5 AM connects to the remote node, its checks the Version
Number returned (if any), and signals an error (MCC-E-VERSION_NUMBER) if 
the version number returned does not match CMIP's version (5.0.0).

	So first check to see in ARREST's node number, on the DECmcc system
matches the Phase V system to which you are trying to connect.

P.S. One other thing, in case you didn't know. You're not required to use the
DNS FullName on the DECmcc command line. You can also use the Phase IV
synonym directly. So the following is a legal command to DECmcc/DNA5_AM:

	 MCC> show node arrest all id
573.2cml was brokenMINDER::ROXBURGHFri Dec 21 1990 09:1311
    Jim,
    
    Thanks for the help, the problem was actually in the cml application on
    the Ultrix box. NCL was returning "Version NOT Supported" messages when
    I tried to talk to cml.
    
    I deleted and re-created the cml session control application definition
    and it works now. I don't know what was wrong before as the definition
    looks exactly the same.

573.3should be fixed nowNAC::ENGLANDFri Jan 04 1991 11:5014
    re: .-1
    
    That's the error message that NCL gives when it gets connected to 
    object #19 and gets optional connect data other that { 5, 0, 0 } 
    ,the version id for CMIP, or doesn't get optional connect data.
    
    re: .-2
    
    This problem should be fixed in the EFT update release of
    DECnet-ULTRIX.  Jim, my workstation is node name dnu:.lkg.tlon
    you could try registering it and see if you get the right answer
    now.
