Decserver 200 on Itanium OpenVMS

[Shift Support]

Anybody know how to get Decservers to downline load from Itanium Openvms? I can't find the decserver200 install kit anywhere

[Ian Miller.]

You could configure the LANCP download service and copy the DECserver 200 file from a working alpha/vax system.

[Martin Vorlaender · Accepted solution]

In more detail:

The file to look for (or to extract from any DECserver 200 kit) is PR0801ENG.SYS.

The following LANCP commands should do it:

LANCP> SET DEVICE /DLL=(ENABLE,NOEXCLUSIVE,SIZE=1482,[NO]KNOWNCLIENTSONLY)

and, if you specify KNOWNCLIENTSONLY above:

LANCP> DEFINE NODE /ADDRESS= /FILE=PR0801ENG.SYS
LANCP> SET NODE /PERMANENT_DATABASE

If you don't specify a to the file, or if you specified NOKNOWNCLIENTSONLY,
the file is assumed to reside in LAN$DLL:

@Martin,

I thought is was MOM$LOAD where the default is for MOP files.

sho log lan$dll,mom$load
"LAN$DLL" = "CNC_DISK:[DECSERVER]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
= "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSTEM]"
= "SYS$SYSROOT:[DECSERVER]"
= "SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM]"

"MOM$LOAD" = "CNC_DISK:[DECSERVER]" (LNM$SYSTEM_TABLE)
= "SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSTEM]"
= "SYS$SYSROOT:[DECSERVER]"
= "SYS$SYSROOT:[MOM$SYSTEM]"

It looks quite the same.
