| We have DECmcc running on VMS 5.5
We have scheduled time in the SQM lab to run DECmcc on a 4000
model 60 and a 4000 VLC the first week of December. Due to
time considerations and the configuration (ie. only 8 MB of
memory :-( ), we will do limited testing and report the
results. If anybody else has run DECmcc on either of the above
configurations, PLEASE let me know and save us the time in
checking it our. I'll send you a candy bar!

| Subj: Testing DECmcc BMS V1.1 on the VAX 4000 VLC
I had reserved time on two systems in the SQM lab, one is a VAX
4000/60 and the other is a VAX 4000/VLC (very low cost).
I have completed testing on the VAX 4000/VLC, due to network
problems, testing on the VAX 4000/60 may not be do-able in the
alotted time but I'm confident that the results of the 4000/VLC
would be the same as the 4000/60.
Process:
o I copied the DECmcc V1.1 kit to node LCONIA, and installed it.
o I tried SHOW NODE4 LCONIA ALL ATTRIBUTES, it worked proving
DECmcc was working (at least some of it).
o I installed DECdns V1.1 and ran the MCC_SETUP_DNS.COM routine
to set up the DECdns directories, it worked.
o I did a REGISTER NODE4 .LCONIA SYN LCONIA, it worked and proved
that DECmcc and DECdns worked together.
o I created a domain and added LCONIA as a domain member.
o I created an alarm rule that sent mail upon the alarm firing.
It *didn't* work. VAX/VMS V5.5 has made changes to the Job
Batch Control. Alarm rules with no batch job submission worked
fine.
o I installed UCX V1.3.
o I installed the DECmcc TCP/IP SNMP AM V1.1
o I did a SHOW SNMP konahi.zko.dec.com ALL ATTRIB, it worked.
o I registered the snmp host.
o I brought up the Iconic Map PM, selected node4 LCONIA and did a
show counters.
Conclusion:
Although this has been limited testing, I feel that DECmcc V1.1
does run on the VAX 4000/VLC and would probably run on the VAX
4000/60. It would appear that DECdns and UCX also work. The
problem found in the ALARMS FM has been fixed in the V1.2
system and a patch is being developed for distribution to
VAX/VMS V5.5 installations upon request.
