I have a customer who is going to be buying DECserver 90Ms and deploy
them in an OSF/1 environment - no VAXs, VMS or ULTRIX. Since TSM is
and will not be available on OSF/1 my questing is:
Can PCM be used to establish the connection to a server (via LAT or
Telnet) and then invoke a script that will downline load the servers
port characteristics.
I'd like to NOT have to go through the work of logging onto the server
and then set its characteristics manually port by port. TSM did this
very well by keeping a server "image file" on a host and then downline
loading when necessary.
Thanks in advance for the info.
Gary

| 197.1 | Any ideas please... | DV780::SMITHG | Thu Mar 10 1994 18:50 | 17 | |
The .0 note has no replies, so I may not have been clear in the
question. Let me try again:
I'd like to emulate the functionality that TSM has on OSF/1 whereby I
can down-line load a configuration file to a DECserver 90M. My
customer will be using PCM and I'm hoping that it has the ability to
invoke a script after a remote console connection is made to a server.
The documentation doesn't mention (or I flat missed it) how far I can
go in managing a terminal server. If there are any other ideas, please
let me know.
What I am trying to avoid doing is manually setting each server port
and the server characteristics themselves should the need arise to
"reset" the server. Again, I'm in a purely OSF environment.
Appreciate the help. Gary

| 197.2 | No TSM functionality - sorry | OPG::ENTWISTLE | Mon Mar 14 1994 12:04 | 10 | |
Gary, Sorry, what you want to do is not possible with PCM. We're not really in the terminal server management business! You cpould submit a Phase 0 request for such functionality in a future version of PCM but my feeling is that as the functionality is already present in TSM, you'd be better off agitating to get TSM ported to OSF.

As a possible way to do this you could try using a psuedoterminal I/F to call an application like ccr to connect to the server and then play with a DIALOG script to send the information to the remote server. Cheers Simon.... | |||||
