116.0. "Boot KAV30 from DEC/OSF1 no DECNET" by MLN08::CASTELLUCCI (Aldo, TOEM Mktg Italy, 793-2292, @MLN) Thu Jan 27 1994 08:59

	Is that possible to boot a KAV30 from ALPHA AXP & DEC OSF/1
	WITHOUT DECNET?
	If not how to solve the problem? Build my own boot ROM with
	a supported protocol?
	Thanks in advance
	/Aldo

116.1yes, but....GOBANG::LEMMERThu Jan 27 1994 14:129
    
    	The KAV30 needs MOP for booting, which is - as I understand it -
    	not part of OSF/1. So you need to install DECnet/OSI in order to
    	have MOP, but you don't need to 'run' DECnet. If you have MOP
    	support on your OSF/1 machine, you can boot a KAV30 - we have
    	tested this and it works....

116.2run MOP without DECNET license?MLN08::CASTELLUCCIAldo, TOEM Mktg Italy, 793-2292, @MLNThu Jan 27 1994 16:347
	The first step of the customer is to have 20 systems
	based on KAV30 and other 200 in the future, so his problem
	is to NOT PAY 220 decnet licenses.
	Does that mean that we can start MOP without paying the
	DECNET license?

116.3DECnet license is there...GOBANG::LEMMERFri Jan 28 1994 11:126
    
    	mmhhh.., the KAV30 comes with an ELN runtime-license which has an
    	'intrinsic' DECnet license, so where is the problem ?

116.4no DECNET on DEC OSF/1MLN08::CASTELLUCCIAldo, TOEM Mktg Italy, 793-2292, @MLNFri Jan 28 1994 12:238
    	Thomas
	I'm sorry for the misunderstanding:
	the customer doesn't like to pay a lot of decnet licenses
	on DEC OSF/1 machine.
	So the question is to boot the kav30 from the DEC OSF/1 machine
	installing and/or paying the MOP kit without pay the license
	of decnet on DEC OSF/1 system.
	/Aldo
116.5talk to OSF...GOBANG::LEMMERFri Jan 28 1994 13:2811
    
    	Well, thats beyond my knowledge, you need to contact the OSF
    	product mgmt. or to put a note into the OSF conference. Technically
    	it is possible, but I can't give an answer on the license
    	situation.
    
    	Selling 220 KAV30's sounds great, so I whish you good luck with the
    	OSF folks...
