3338.0. "Management of OS2 SERVERS?" by SIOG::TINNELLY (Consultancy for fee NOT free..) Fri Jul 10 1992 12:20

    
    Hello Folks,
    
    For a potential DECmcc customer I need to know, if DECmcc can manage
    Microsoft LAN Manager OS2 Servers running Netbui protocol??.
    
    I seem to remember something about a LAN Manager AM being developed as
    part of the SVP???
    
    many thanks.
    
    Peter.
    
    ps. just to brighten the afternoon a little story, I was supposed to be
    doing a DECmcc presentation this a/noon to a customer. However they
    rang in at lunch to say a relative had died and they wanted to postpone
    the  demo. Fine, having rescheduled the demo I set about other tasks.
    At 15:00 when i should have been in the middle of the demo power
    dropped at my desk, zap went my workstation which is were the demo
    would have been running from. An earth Leakage circuit breaker had
    tripped. Is there someone up there after all??. How would DECmcc have
    detected this -)

Development of the LAN Manager AM for OS/2 servers was killed when PCSG decided to drop support of the API that it depended on. BTW: The API only supported DECnet as a transport, so it still wouldn't have met your NETBEUI requirement... If they ever decide to resurrect the LANman API for either VMS or ULTRIX, I suppose we could dust off the code we have and start where we left off, but it's academic at this point.... \|-( Until then, put a TCP/IP stack on your OS/2 file servers and use SNMP and the LANman MIB extensions to manage LANmanager Filesevers. /doug
3338.2	Decnet another Option?	SIOG::TINNELLY	Consultancy for fee NOT free..	`Mon Jul 13 1992 06:46`	6
	Doug, Thanks for the reply, is there any problem in putting Decnet on the OS2 server instead of TCP/IP.?? REGARDS Peter.
3338.3	DECnet should be fine.	TOOK::MCPHERSON	Life is hard. Play short.	`Mon Jul 13 1992 08:37`	8
	> Thanks for the reply, is there any problem in putting Decnet on > the OS2 server instead of TCP/IP.?? I don't think so. It's certainly an option we (DEC) sell for our OS/2 servers.... /doug
3338.4	Yes we can.	SIOG::TINNELLY	Consultancy for fee NOT free..	`Tue Jul 14 1992 05:57`	9
	Doug, Thanks for confirmation, i realised we sell Pathworks for DOS, it was whether or not there was any implementation problems with multiple protocols on same server. I suppose we should get sale first and worry later -) regards peter.
