2256.0. "Digital UNIX v4.0b and DCE v2.0a (w/ DFS) support" by DAGWST::FAFRAK (RISCy business...) Fri May 16 1997 21:02

    Does anyone know the "Official" word on when v2.0a (with DFS) will be
    completely supported on Digital UNIX v4.0b?
    
    One of my largest customers has made a decision to go with v4.0b with
    their newest 8400 cluster and they will require C2 and DCE with DFS. 
    They are expecting delivery of the h/w in early June.  I need to give
    them an answer by early next week.
    
    With this order they will be up to 14 8400's with the potential of at
    least doubling this number if we can get DCE and DFS up to spec.
    
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

    What do you mean by completely supported?

    Does Digital support DCE v2.0a on v4.0b of Digital UNIX?  Does
    everything that the spd and supplied documentation says works with DCE 
    v2.0a work under Digital UNIX v4.0b?  When DFS is installed does the kernel 
    recompile without dumping -- and when the kernel does recompile, does DFS 
    work as advertised?
    
    We have had NUMEROUS problems getting DCE v2.0a to work at my customer
    site which I will not go into here, needless to say, when I go back to the
    customer and say, "DCE v2.0a works on Digital UNIX v4.0b" -- it MUST
    work!
    
    This customer spends millions of dollars on equipment each year -- and 
    although I am not in Sales, I would like to see that money go to Digital 
    and not IBM, HP, or SUN.  Not to mention, I am tired of getting beat up
    at the customer site because of things that we (Digital) say works --
    that are riddled with bugs!
    
    So, is DCE v2.0a supported on Digital UNIX v4.0b?  If not, when?
    
    Thank you.
