1407.0. "Questions for Digital UNIX PCM" by WASHDC::snowme.cop.dec.com::copss1::MOORE (Kevin Moore) Fri Oct 11 1996 12:15

I'm not real familiar to PCM, but we may want to include it on a proposal.  I 
checked other notes but I failed to find my answers.  Any help would be 
appreciated.

- Can an Alpha workstation running Digital UNIX V3.2g with PCM manage
  AlphaServer 8400s running Digital UNIX V4.0A?

- During initial setup of the AlphaServer 8400s "out of the box", 
  preloaded or not, can PCM be used right away or do I have to have a
  terminal on the servers and issue commands to get the PCM client
  side working?  Is there any client setup on the servers that needs
  to taken care of before PCM will work?

Kevin,

PCM has no interaction with you server. That is, you can have PCM running on any
version of UNIX monitoring any version of UNIX or VMS, or any RS232 compatible line.
PCM doesn't care what is there (Hmm, poet and didn't know it!)

Also, you can set up PCM out of the box, and set up the servers out of the box without
ever setting up a VT for the servers. There is  NO PCM client
