132.0. "Config question" by FUBSY::ELWARNER () Thu May 17 1990 10:50

    I am in the process of ordering some systems to monitor the network
    and run DECmcc and the future versions of it. I was going to order
    a vs3100 model 38 with 24mb memory and 2 rz23 disks and a cd rom disk.
    I was told that this only runs Desktop vms version 1. Is that version
    correct and does it and will it support DECmcc present and future. 
    
    I was told that DECmcc needs VMS 5.3 is this true
    
    
    Please help

Hi Chuck,

   You must have VMS 5.3.  

   You must also have access to a DNS Server (so either use an existing one or
   install it on your system as well...)

   _Future_ releases of DECmcc notwithstanding, you will also want to order a
   larger disk for the system.   Right now, the DECmcc install will croak if
   you don't have a large enough system disk and I *think* the RZ23 is too
   small.   [Although given IEG's leadtimes, this could be a non-issue by the
   time you get your system...]

132.3We're ordering it.JETSAM::DOANSAIGONnet is the name !!!!call 1-800-NETWORKMon May 21 1990 11:5224
    Hi,
    
    	We're running the IFT version and so far, a �VAX II/GPX with 16
        Meg. of memory is OK ( NOT great either ). 
    
    	We have ordered a 3520 VAXstation with 32 Meg. so that we can run
        the MCC with the following in production mode,
    
    
    		AM-  Phase IV,V,Bridge,Ethernet Station
    		FM-  Alarms,FDA,Domain,Historian,PA,Exporter,Reports.
    		PM-  TRM, Iconic Map
    
    
    	If you're planning for the future, I would suggest to get the
        "biggest" VAX-station if you could efford it. 
    
    	The RD54 disk will NOT be able to handle all of the above module.

132.4Get a LOT of diskNSSG::R_SPENCEMon May 21 1990 11:569
    You WILL need much larger disks than RZ23s.
    
    I am running a VS3100 with a pair of RZ23s on it and with only a very
    few layered products added there wasn't even room to install MCC.
    
    I suggest that if you want to use VS3100s that you get lots of memory
    (32mb may be the right thing) and the RZ5X-(f or g) add on disks.

132.5Can config info be printed in sales update?OTOO01::WARWICKCareful with that mkting grp, UgeneMon May 28 1990 15:0714
    
    re. the previous entries
    
    A couple of issues have been raised regarding vsn's of VMS, minimum
    disk size, memory requirements, and Distributed Naming Services as a
    prerequisite.
    
    To my knowledge, none of these issues show up in the Sales Update
    article on the DECmcc station, either version.  May I suggest that
    all this good practical use information be passed onto product
    management so that it can make its way to the field?
    
    Regards
    Guy
132.6INFO passed alongGOSTE::CALLANDERTue May 29 1990 14:217
    
    I have sent the information from this note to product management.
    I believe though that it is too late for the next update. Hopefully
    it is already there.
