806.0. "Moving message router to another node" by PJWL::LAMB (Peter Lamb - GSG Santa Clara MAIL=MUTTON::LAMB) Thu Jun 04 1992 16:05

Hello,

For some time now ALL-IN-1 has had the message router
bundled with the base product...  Because of a strange
network setup my customer needs to have the message
router resident on a system different to the ALL-IN-1
system.

My question is whether he can use the message router 
(license) that comes with base ALL-IN-1 and whether 
ALL-IN-1 when then be able to communicate with the off-node
message router rather then having it on the same physical
node.

Thank you and regards,

Peter

806.1A partial answerSCOTTC::MARSHALLPearl-white, but slightly shop-soiledThu Jun 04 1992 17:108
Yes, you can have message router on a different node to ALL-IN-1.  The ALL-IN-1
installation asks you which node your message router is on (it assumes message
router is already installed on that node), and sets up all its bits and pieces
accordingly.

I don't know about the licences though.

806.2Yes and Couldn't say...IOSG::PYEGraham - ALL-IN-1 Sorcerer's ApprenticeThu Jun 04 1992 18:1220
    It depends if you want a technical answer, or a business answer. You'll
    need Product Management (not often in here) to give you the business
    answer.
    
    As Scott said in .-1, it's supported to have the MR remote. Of course
    you can't uss DDS unless MR is local.
    
    But we assume that the remote MR is licenced, installed and configured
    by someone else..
    
    I suppose you could load the ALL-IN-1 licence, start up the
    installation on your A1 node, take the installation option to load the
    licences, and then do the $LICENCE ISSUE command that makes you a copy
    of the MR licence, and then go and put that on the MR node.
    
    Not tested of course, but our installation generated licences are
    galatically powerful (technical licensing term :-) ) and should work
    anytime, anywhere.

806.3Technically OK, legally NOT!BRUMMY::MARTIN::BELLMartin Bell, TCC, Birmingham UKMon Jun 08 1992 11:1012
Peter,

	we have been having a similar problem with the location of Message
Router in a cluster (over in note 711), and the messages we are getting from
product management is that the (infinite) licence for Message Router included
in ALL-IN-1 is ONLY valid for the node upon which ALL-IN-1 is licenced.

It is about time that Message Router was bundled into DECnet, as the product
is about as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike, without a user agent to
talk to it!
