  Installed on node manfrd. 

 Three problems seen so far, one corrected.

 1) Shows from iconic map on snmp interface counters hang and return error
    about not enough core. 

    Created more swap space and that seemed to solve that problem.

 2) Unable to create exporter db during install. Said that createdb command
    didn't exist, although it is in /usr/kits/sql/sql/bin on the system and
    is recognized after sourcing the sqladmin.csh.

    Where can I get more info on creating this db post install? Release notes
    don't go into a lot of detail on this.

 3) See the following errors when I issue a show essential stats from iconic map
    on snmp interface:

  Xlib:  sequence lost (0x10003 > 0xfd2) in reply type 0xd!
X Toolkit Warning: 0
Xlib:  sequence lost (0x102c0 > 0xfd2) in reply type 0x86!
Xlib:  sequence lost (0x10049 > 0xfd2) in reply type 0x14!
X Toolkit Warning: BadPixmap - parameter not a Pixmap
X Toolkit Warning: BadPixmap - parameter not a Pixmap
Xlib:  sequence lost (0x10000 > 0xfd2) in reply type 0x1!

  Thanks,

Regarding 3)

	Xlib:  sequence lost and other X errors

	Do they happen all the time or did you just try once, have a problem,
	and not try again?

  The errors in .5 were on first try showing essential stats after a couple of
successful shows on counters, etc. 

 I have tried it twice since, each time after the map pm was killed and 
restarted, and in both cases the pm now hangs and I get no xlib errors. 

 Have to kill the pm.

    Hello Erik,
    
    DECmcc-Ultrix is up and running at the technology ACT in Evry France
    with no major problems! I ran into some minor things, but I guess
    they're due to my lack of experience with Unix.
    
    Keep up the good work, you've no idea how many requests a week we are
    getting for information on this product.
    
    Amicalement,
    
    Philippe.

    Have just finished installing DECmcc Ultrix on DECstation 3100, the 
    installation seems easier than VMS. What about the name server? DNS.

1486.11Here in Japan.OSAV20::IZUTANIKenji Izutani,Tech.Consul.,CSEC,DEC-JapanWed Sep 18 1991 22:0717
Here just installed and run,but some problems were seen.

Location: Osaka, Japan
Department: NIS(NWSS) 
Platform: DS3100 w/24MB Ultrix V4.2 , also running MSU.

Problem:

Once entered NODE4 and SNMP entities and queries are OK except some SNMP 
statistics because of insufficient core.

Then quitted and run again, then queries got no answer. "ps -ax" showed no 
access modules running. Then re-entered some entity, then AMs were started.

Very curious.

regards,

    Loaded on a DECstation 3100 for local use.
    
    I had some problems with Kernel rebuilds, and found that
    /sys/MIPS/HOSTNAME/param.c is overwritten by doconfig
    by /sys/conf/mips/param.c.
    
    Is this an error is the release notes ?

1486.17UP on "notnet"CAPITN::SITZ_GLMon Oct 28 1991 14:0517
    I have installed the kit and it is running....kind of...
    
    Good: Icons and alarm rules created on a VAX/VMS production system
    transported very well.  The user interface seems to be very consistant
    with the VMS version.
    
    Not-good:  There seem to be problems with crashes from a non-root
    account.  There seem to be several conditions that will hang the Iconic
    map PM when running with the Motif window systm.  There are also alarm
    enable sequences that will "panic" stop my DECstation.
    
    More details as I can isolate them.
