RE: [nv-l] tec_create_handle failures

["Karl Prinelle" <Karl.Prinelle@elyzium.co.uk>]

Thanks for that - I will have another look when/if I can generate the problem again.  It certainly wasn't an IP connectivity problem since the w2k/solaris machines used the same ip address (at different times! - I was testing the difference between nvCNAT on the two platforms) & they're plugged into the same switch as the tec server.  I'll check again once I get access to this rig.

 

thanks

The number one cause of tec_create_handle failures is being unable to contact the TEC server to establish a connection.
When you rebooted the box you proved that the problem was not in NetView but outside it.

For 7.1.4, both the Windows product and the UNIX product have been linked to the TEC 3.9 EIF libraries, which is what controls the TEC connection code. So the fact that UNIX had trouble where Windows did not  does not point to flaw in NetView.

I had that problem yesterday on a demo box that nvserverd.log was
reporting tec_create_handle fail messages (NV 7.1.4/Solaris 2.8, TEC
3.9/w2k).  Restarting NV didn't clear the error, but rebooting the box
did (I ran out of time!) - I'm not happy about reboots clearing things
myself!  I'd previously had a NV 7.1.4/w2k machine sending events
happily to the same TEC - both installs are straight off the cd (apart
from switching off autotrace & FFDC).

I've seen that error before (NV 7.1.4/Linux RH, TEC 3.9 Linux RH), but
again had no time to look properly.  I didn't touch the SCE settings,
but will do next time I get a chance to see if there is a pattern.

Hi Chris,
Look at /usr/OV/conf/tecint.conf.  I think you will find a couple of
lines at the end that enable the State Correlation feature.  I have
commented these lines out of tecint.conf and run nvtecia -reload  to
have nvserverd take note.  That got things running for me.

Cheers,
Jane
