275.0. "DFS disks on ADG clusters" by NECK::THOMPSON () Fri Aug 25 1989 18:35

Over the next few days Distributed File Service disks will be available
on FUTURS/PASTIT/CURRNT and the PERKY cluster. Namely....  

	disk$standards - contains ADG standards documents as found in
			 sys$public on ELBOW.
	
	and on CURRNT you will see
	disk$PAS_DATA1
	disk$PAS_DATA2
	disk$PAS_DATA3
	disk$PAS_DATA4
	
	which correspond to the 4 data volume on PASTIT.

	The standards disk will be readable straight away.
	Data on PASTIT will not be readable from CURRNT until changes have been
made to proxy databases. If you think you'll need access to your data on PASTIT
from your username on CURRNT then please contact the system managers or the
ADG Consultants group. 

	Access of this kind should enable you to provide support for 
applications with sources on PASTIT running under the operating system on
CURRNT. Could prove handy during the next EASE migration window when CURRNT
is running EASE V5.1 and PASTIT is running EASE V5.0 and eliminate the need to
duplicate application sources.

	Users on the PERKY LAVc should soon be able to see all the data disks
on all the ADG clusters + others such as the CD bookreader volume.

275.1DNS & DFS are backCURRNT::THOMPSONTue Apr 10 1990 12:5917
    A new DNS server (SBPDNS::) has been set up to handle DNSish type
    requests. Disks on all 3 main clusters are once more served between
    nodes so you should be able to use DFS for fast access across clusters.
    You will of course still need non-privileged proxy accounts set
    up to do this. Please let me know if you're interested in using
    DFS in this way.
    
    As we havn't yet got LAVC's back on the air, some old DFS access points
    such as ye olde ELBOW$PUBLIC: directory are not available. Once ELBOW
    has been rebuilt then such access points will no doubt reappear again. 
    
    Those of you with workstations who want to use DFS/DNS once
    the LAVC's are running should contact me if they want details of
    the new DNS naming standards required to build site specific DFS
    startup files which add or mount access points.
