We are running DECnet through out our building using ethernet. We have many VAXens, over 200, from clustered workstations to 11/785s and 8600s. We have included some DS3100s on our network, these all run DECnet also. Between the Vaxes we can copy the permanent database, I have not seen a copy command in NCP to move the database from the VAX to the ULTRIX workstations or for that matter between ULTRIX workstations. My question: Is there a command to move the database between ULTRIX machines or VAX to ULTRIX without having to define/set each node. -- +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+ | Dave Wright | Phone: (714) 952-6320 | | McDonnell Douglas M&E | Internet: wright@mdcbbs.com | | Software Engineering | UUCP: uunet!mdcbbs.com!wright | | P.O.Box 6011 | PSI: PSI%31060099980019::WRIGHT | | Cypress, Ca. 90630 | | +----------------------------+-----------------------------------------+

In the unsupported DECnet ULTRIX subset is a program "update_nodes" It updates the nodes data base from another DECnet system. On the other hand, I think you can just copy the data base file over, and define your exec. Fred

The file /usr/lib/dnet/nodes_v is the volatile nodes database, nodes_p is the the permanent one. The following should do it: % chdir /usr/lib/dnet % dcp -i -v OTHER::/usr/lib/dnet/nodes_p nodes_p,new % mv nodes_p nodes_p,old % mv nodes_p,new nodes_p % cp nodes_p nodes_v And you're done. It isn't necessary to re-define you exec, since that has remained the same - it is kept in a separate file (exec_p and exec_v). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Richard Wood Corporate Worksystems Team Digital Equipment Corp. ======================================================================== ========
