752.0. "DECmcc development with DNS, DFS & DQS" by QUIVER::CHILDS (Ed Childs) Mon Feb 25 1991 19:57

    I have a few questions about setting up DNS to run with a DECmcc
    development environment, and cooperating with DFS and DQS.  I've looked
    through this conference for a similar situation and haven't found one.

    Our group will be working on access modules for bridges and wiring
    concentrators.  We want to be able to perform operations like register,
    deregister, rename, and reset without disturbing the Easynet.  So it
    looks like we want to have a local DNS server to muck with.

    Will this screw up anything with DFS or DQS?  Our developers'
    workstations use DNS to get to remote disks and queues in the building. 
    If we want to have our own DNS namespace for MCC development, how do we
    get DNS to figure out where the DFS disks and queues are?  Is there a
    way to copy them into our namespace from the building's DNS server? 
    How do we keep them in sync with the building's nameserver?

    Is there some memo I don't know about, something called "Installing DNS
    if you're doing MCC development on the EasyNet" ?  Is there anyone out
    there who does MCC development while operating with DFS and DQS?  Any
    advice?

752.1Make explicit namespace references in startup filesTOOK::CAREYTue Feb 26 1991 12:4722
    
    We do it all the time.
    
    On my system (may or may not be representative, but it surely works)
    I have set my default namespace to the private nameserver that is on my
    system.  This is where I muck around with MCC and check out our ability
    to register and manage DECnet phase 4 stuff.
    
    My DFS sources are all pointed to explicitly in the startup file, that
    is as:
    
    	DEC:.ENG.NAC.NETS.USER... instead of:
    	    .ENG.NAC.NETS.USER... to invoke it from the default namespace.
    
    As far as I know, DQS just sets up the same.  Point your default
    namespace at your private "mucking around" namespace, and make explicit
    references to the DEC: or other namespaces that you use for day to day
    operation.
