Re: tecad_nv6k starts with EIF error

["James Shanks" <jshanks@us.ibm.com>]

This is a multipart message in MIME format.

I would call Support and get the latest tecad binary from them there were 
problems with the EIF library build in 6.0, 6.0.1, and 6.0.2, which are 
not corrected until 6.0.3.  The APAR is PJ28060.  I would not even attempt 
to proceed without this fix.  And I would make plans to get 6.0.3 itself.

Hi,

Can someone help me to figure out the problem?  Thanks
in advance.

---------------------------
My environment:

Spoke TMR server 3.6.2, (NT)/Netview Server 6.0.1 (NT)
TEC Netview adapter 3.6 are on one machine which is my
Netview server.

Hub TMR 3.6.2 (NT)

TEC 3.6.2 (NT) in hub TMR.
-----------------------------
I have been tring to send netview events to the TEC
server in the hub TMR, but the behavior attribute of
"ovstatus tecad_nv6k" always shows:
started... then not running. 
I looked at log file from the tecio module configured
in tecad_nv6k.err and saw the following error message.
 

Fri Dec 21 14:14:03 2001   FATAL: TECIO  , err 01,
ibtecad/tec_io.c line 0516: C
annot create EIF handle. Please check the .conf file. 

I know this message is related to the ServerLocation
in tecad_nv6k.conf, but I configured the
ServerLocation:

     ServerLocation=@EventServer#hub_tmr-region

I even tried @EventServer, Server IP, Server hostname
but to the same error message. (I knew these did not
make sense to me, but I just tried)

I have done:

1. wlsconn on both hub tmr and spoke tmr/Netview 
I saw two way interconnected tmrs

2. odadmin odlist on both tmr and they are fine

3. wupdate -r EventServer hub_tmr-region on the 
spoke tmr/netview server, 

4. wlookup -ar EventServer
shows the EventServer with the hub tmr region oid

5. wpostemsg OV_IF_Down events works fine from a CLI,
tec processed the OV_IF_Down messages, the events were
displayed on TEC Console

but I still can't bring up tecad_nv6k. Did I miss
anything? 

I installed TEC on the spoke tmr/Netview server once,
but I did wdel /Library/EventServer and wregister -u
-r
EventServer EventServer, wchkdb, so the spoke
tmr/netview now only sees the tec server in hub tmr
and wpostemsg works fine.

Did anyone get this error before.  Does any one know
what ibtecad/tec_io.c line 0516 is trying to check?
