3574.0. "Node status state off" by COMICS::HESS () Mon Mar 17 1997 05:02

Hello,
	I have a site reporting that on version 4.0.1 an NCL SHOW NODE 0 ALL
STATUS returns a state of OFF although everything seems to be working ok, this
is causing them problems with their network monitoring which is reporting
their decnis as being non functional.
	I have been unable to identify this as a known issue , any comments
please.

Thanks
Pete

    Have answered my own question.
    NCL help holds all the answers, node state off indicates
     off            The node is manageable, but not all of its
                            functions are enabled.
    also on help for node state
    o  functions enabled
    
             Functions that are currently enabled for the node (see the
             enable command).
        
    Looking at the Enable command indicate that the state will be off if
    the ADDRESS WATCHER  is DISABLED
    	This was the case, in this instance the ClearVISN configurator was
    used

Hi Pete,

You are entirely correct:

>    Looking at the Enable command indicate that the state will be off if
>    the ADDRESS WATCHER  is DISABLED
>	This was the case, in this instance the ClearVISN configurator was
>    used

the old configurator added the line:

	enable function address watch

and when writing the new clearVISN Windows Configurator we forgot to include
this. To fix your management problem you can just add the above line into the
extra scripts. We will fix the problem in a future release of the configurator.

Thanks,
	Colin.
