(ip address? fake decnet node?) $ set display/create/node=nodename/transport=tcpip Nodename may or may not have to be in quotes. I'm not sure how picky Multinet is. I covered all of the bases with UCX by making uppercase aliases for all of the hosts when using the convert host/vms command. you'll need to put : $ define/sys/exec decw$install_tcpip true in systartup_v5.com before you start decwindows. ------- For those of you with the CD software distribution (or if you have access to a UCX tape), you can run ucx without a license, *legally* and get just DECwindows transport over IP for free. You'll need to print the intructions for installing ucx that are on the CD. Here's some instructions I wrote up a while ago, because the ucx manual isn't on the doc CDs. Helpful hints: - use ping from another unix/vms host to see if the ip installation worked. - use "telnet nodename 6000" to see if the X server is listening. If you get a connection refused, something's wrong. I know this isn't 100% complete. If anyone beside me really wants to do this, try the directions. Send mail if you come up short and I'll try to help you. |Ted Ede -- ted@mbunix.mitre.org -- The MITRE Corporation -- Burlington Road| | linus!mbunix!ted -- Bedford MA, 01730 -- Mail Stop B090 -- (617) 271-7465 | | - this line intentionally left blank - | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ UCX Configuration Instructions 1. add the follow to modparams.dat: add_npagedyn=342000 add_npagevir=342000 (wait until step 9 to reboot) 2. Check globals pages and section: LOBSTA::Ted> wt f$getsyi("free_gblpages") 17366 LOBSTA::Ted> wt f$getsyi("free_gblsects") 210 The required values were 1375 and 15. So I had enough. Your mileage may vary. (wait until step 8 to reboot) 3. Add the following to SYSTARTUP_V5.COM $ @sys$manager:ucx$startup $ define/system/exec decw$install_tcpip true 4. Add the following to SYSHUTDOWN.COM $ @sys$manager:ucx$shutdown 5. Install UCX following the printed docs. 6. Run the UCX configure procedure. Remember to put your node name in double quotes and to use your INTERnet address, not mine. See the sample output below. 7. Read section 9.1 in the "VMS DECwindows User's Guide" on the "VMS and VMS DECwindows User Documents shelf" on the "VMS Operating System Shelf" of the Bookreader (I know, a shelf on a shelf, I didn't organize the bookreader.) [we have the doc cd's too. I'm guessing this stuff is in the printed doc set.] 8. Customize the session manager's security, Save Settings, and Use Last Saved settings 9. run autogen to reboot your node: @sys$update:autogen savparams reboot ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Sample UCX$CONFIG session: LOBSTA::Ted> @sys$manager:ucx$config VAX INTERnet Network Configuration Procedure This procedure will help you define the parameters needed to get VAX INTERnet running on this machine.

You may specify that the INTERnet interface(s) on this CPU will participate in an INTERnet VAXcluster. An INTERnet VAXcluster can be configured so that all cluster members appear to remote network hosts as a single virtual host. The INTERnet VAXcluster is identified by its cluster host name and address, and must be activated on each of the interfaces that will comprise the INTERnet VAXcluster. Define INTERnet VAXcluster [NO] ? NO The INTERnet parameters have been defined successfully in the command file SYS$MANAGER:UCX$INET_SET_INTERFACES.COM For information on the INTERnet configuration, see the VMS/ULTRIX Connection System Manager's Guide (Chapter 3).
