I understand that it is possible to use a VMS system as a server for remote installation of software on Ultrix systems, using RIS. Does anyone have information on this? What DECNet/MOP files have to be setup on the VMS side, and where/how are the distribution tapes loaded? Thanks for any input you can provide. -- Mike Bryan, Applied Computing Devices, 100 N Campus Dr, Terre Haute IN 47802 Phone: 812/232-6051 FAX: 812/231-5280 Home: 812/232-0815 UUCP: uunet!acd4!mjb ARPA: acd4!mjb@uunet.uu.net "Did you make mankind after we made you?" --- XTC, "Dear God"

Yes, you can use a VMS system for doing remote installation but not with RIS. The Remote System Management software (RSM) has support for Ultrix clients in it. You can also manage backups of the Ultrix clients using RSM. > What DECNet/MOP files have to be > setup on the VMS side, and where/how are the distribution tapes > loaded? > I've never needed to use RSM for my Ultrix systems, so I don't know any of the details. > -- > Mike Bryan, Applied Computing Devices, 100 N Campus Dr, Terre Haute IN 47802 -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.enet.dec.com
