Hello,
I have just installed DECmcc V1.2 and I'm trying to register some 
TCP/IP nodes but I get the following message:
==================================================================
MCC> register snmp msumgr address 16.192.96.58
SNMP ROMMCC_NS:.msumgr
AT 29-OCT-1992 16:34:08
Partial registration success. Please retry later to complete the 
registration.
        Reason for Partial Registration = Identifier attributes for 
unreachable
                                          entity are:
                        Registered Name = ROMMCC_NS:.msumgr
                                Address = 16.192.96.58
                                   Name = MSUMGR
MCC>
=======================================================================
MSUMGR is a DS3100 running ULTRIX V4.1
Note that  UCX loop MSUMGR runs without problems.
    I get the same problem also running the REGISTRATION from DEC-window
    toolbox
    
    
I tried also the following tests:
==================================================
$ mana/enter
DECmcc (V1.2.0)
MCC> TEST SNMP MSUMGR
SNMP MSUMGR
AT 29-OCT-1992 16:30:01
Test successful.
MCC> TEST SNMP MSUMGR
SNMP MSUMGR
AT 29-OCT-1992 16:30:04
Test unsuccessful: no answer from host.
MCC>
=====================================================
I'm not able to understand why the first TEST runs without any problem and 
the second (and the following also) fails.
Note that sometimes (without any special condition) the TEST command runs 
without any problem ..........
In the SYSTARTUP_V5.COM  UCX starts before DECmcc.
UCX is configured as follows:

Could somebody help me, please?

| 3992.1 | SNMP agent? | TOOK::MINTZ | LKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033 | Thu Oct 29 1992 11:28 | 6 | 
| Is there an SNMP agent running on the system that you are trying to register? UCX loop just checks to see if the system is reachable via IP/ICMP; it does not check for an SNMP agent. | |||||
| 3992.2 | what kind of problem is it? | ROMTSS::GALLANA | Thu Oct 29 1992 12:21 | 26 | |
| At 6 o'clock (local time) I was able to register both nodes
    (MSUMGR - ULTRIX with SNMP and
     ROMTSS - VMS V5.4.3 with UCX v2.0 , SNMP agent also)
    
    Note that I didn't do anything special to make it working
    
    
    After that I closed DECmcc and I activated it again...
    (I tried with both the DECwindow inteface and the commnad interface)
            
                  it doesn't work again:
    
    the first time I TEST the entity I get  "test successfull",
    
    the second, third, ... time and i get  
    
    		"test unsuccessful: no answer from host"
    
    If I exit and then I reenter in DECmcc I'm able to test the SNMP but
    only the first time ...
    
    
    What kind of problem is it?

| 3992.3 | is it a phantom bug? | ROMTSS::GALLANA | Thu Oct 29 1992 13:00 | 19 | |
|     I've tried to isolate the problem but it seems to be like a phantom:
    
    infact entering in DECmcc I'm not able to SHO CHARACTERISTICS
    
    I get the message 
    
    Internet communication device error %NONAME-W-NOMSG,
    Messge number 000000
                                   
    but sometime, doing DIRECTORY or SHOW STATISTICS they runs
    
    after that I'm able to do everything: SHOW .... TEST ...  GRAPH..
    
    
    it it a phantom?
    
    I'll try tomorrow to reinstall DNS and DECmcc and UCX
    
    bye

| 3992.4 | What version of UCX are you running? | TOOK::GUERTIN | Don't waffle (unless you want to) | Thu Oct 29 1992 13:01 | 0 | 
| 3992.5 | UCX T2.0-21 | ROMOIS::GALLANA | Fri Oct 30 1992 03:16 | 2 | |

| 3992.6 | UDP TIMEOUT? | VCSESU::WADE | Bill Wade, VAXc Systems & Support Eng | Fri Oct 30 1992 09:36 | 7 | 
|     
    Just a shot in the dark but you may want to try increasing the the UDP
    timeout from the default of 5 seconds.  I've found that 5 seconds is an
    optimistic value at times.
        
    	mcc> set mcc 0 tcpip udp timeout 30
    
 | |||||
| 3992.7 | UDP = 30 doesn't solve the problem | ROMOIS::GALLANA | Fri Oct 30 1992 10:34 | 4 | |
|     no way, the first TEST command runs, the second ...etc... fail
    
    UDP doesn't solve the problem
    
 | |||||
| 3992.8 | Why field test? | TOOK::MINTZ | LKG2-2 near pole X3, cube 6072, dtn 226-5033 | Fri Oct 30 1992 11:38 | 4 | 
| Someone more familiar with the module will probably answer, but I would certainly be concerned about results based on a field test version of UCX. Can you upgrade to the SSB version? | |||||
| 3992.9 | SSB version of UCX020 works | ROMOIS::GALLANA | Mon Nov 02 1992 05:41 | 7 | |
|     I just installed SSB version of UCX
    
    Now everything works
    
    Many thanks for YOUR cooperation
