1978.0. "DECprobe90 V2.1 & dvinst Shell Command ??" by ZTOIS1::VISTA (Renato VISTA/SI France/ZTO) Wed Feb 08 1995 07:47

    
    Hi,
    
    Using PROBEwatch V3.1 for WINDOWS, applied on DECpacketProbe V2.1
    (ns3210.s firmware), I would like to use the CONFIG graphic option,
    related to the NETscout command "dvinst".
    
    Via SHELL interface, I do the command :
    
    #dvinst test.cfg pb90_dec
    
    where test.cfg is...
    
    1	   2      3    4    5    6    7    8
    ALL    MAC    y    y    y    y    y    y
    
    with...
    
    	1 - Domain       	4 - Short History	7 - Converstion
    	2 - Host Mode		5 - Long History	8 - Capture
    	3 - Segment Stats 	6 - Host
    
    and, on DECpb90 console :
    
    	max_host 	= 200
    	max_captsize	= 2048
    
    When the command is launched, I've got the following error message :
    
    nqlapi: unexpected SNMP error 3
    nqlapi: Agent Error: Variable contains bad value --> bufferControlFull
    Error Creating Packet Capture group: No resources in Agent. See console.
    
    The Domain/Session is running but with NO Capture Session...
    
    I've of course decreased max_captsize from 8196 to 2048 via 4096...
    
    My questions are :
    
    1) is there any DECprobe90 V2.1 documentation available on EASYnet ?
    2) what are the default parameters used when using dvinst command
    (Buffer Size, Bucket Description, etc) ?
    3) is my command fully supported ?
    4) is it a known bug ?
    
    Thank you for help.

Hi There Renato

The command does work, as I too have used it.

You want to check that you don't have too many
domains installed, as this can be a problem, with
the probe running out of resources.
