5141.0. "Register NODE4 results in Phase V error" by LICAUS::LICAUSE (Al Licause (264-4780)) Thu Jun 03 1993 09:47

V1.3 SSB DECmcc on VAX 4000-500 running DECnet/OSI.

when I use the iconic map interface to register a NODE4 (Phase IV) entity,
I receive an error stating "Phase V hosts require address argument".

the node is only partially registered.

Is this a known problem?

5141.1DNA4 register on phaseV requires address argTOOK::PURRETTAThu Jun 03 1993 10:1818
Al,

When you run MCC on a DECnet/OSI host the DNA4 AM needs the address of the
phaseIV node as input to the register directive to complete the registration.

This isn't necessary when you run MCC on a phaseIV host because there's
a local network database the AM can query to get the address (internally
it calls NML$SHARE, which isn't available on phaseV systems for obvious
reasons).

So, on a phase IV host you can... MCC> register node4 <xxx> synonym <yyy>
and the registeration will complete, provided the node is in the hosts
local database.  If not, then you'll get a partial registration.

When running on a phaseV host, you *must* give the DECnet phaseIV address arg.
MCC> register node4 <xxx> synonym <yyy>, address = aa.nnn

Thanks John,

I could have sworn I tried giving both the synonym and the address at first, but
perhaps I got distracted.

Just tried registering another NODE4 with both synonym and address and it
took.
