2988.0. "Setting up DNS V2 on Ultrix for DECmcc on VMS" by MEO78B::FINCH () Wed May 13 1992 10:20

    I am running DECmcc VT.1.2.7 on a Vaxstation 3100/76 - VMS 5.4-3
    My DNS server for DECmcc is on an Ultrix node so it is running 
    DNS V2.
    
    I am not sure what DNS directories MCC needs to run. I know that you
    normally run dns_setup.com and that sets up the necessary directories
    and also the backtranslations etc. This isn't an option here as my DNS
    is on an Ultrix server so I can't just copy and run this dcl file.
    
    So my problem is I need to know what is required for DNS to run
    correctly with DECmcc and how to set this up.
    
    Unfortunately I am only midly DNS literate otherwise I might have been
    able to work it out !
    
    Any help appreciated.

    The DNS directories MCC needs are the following:
         .DNA_BackTranslatation...	(for Phase4 Nodes)
         .DNA_NodeSynonym		(for Phase4 Nodes)
         .DNA_Node			(for Phase4 Nodes)
    	 .MCC
    	 .MCC_SNMP_BackTranslation (For SNMP)
    	 .MCC_Station_BackTranslation (for Station)
    	 .MCC_Terminal_Server_BackTranslation
    	 .MCC_Bridge_BackTranslation
    	 .MCC_Concentrator_BackTranslation
    	 .MCC_Sample_BackTranslation	(Sample AM in Toolkit)
    
    The .MCC_*_BackTranslation directories are not required unless you
    manage the "*" class objects.
    
    On VMS, the MCC kit includes a DCL mcc_system:mcc_dns_setup.com
    which will setup the above DNS directories for MCC use.
    (The command procedure contains other utilities for using namespace -
     please refer to the "DECmcc Planning and Installation for VMS"
     document)
    
    On Ultrix, if you have DNS on the system, the system is Ultrix DECnet 
    Phase5 and the namespace should have been already set up for
    Phase4 node management (i.e. .DNA_Backtranslation, .DNA_NodeSynonym,
    and .DNA_Node directories exist). Since your DNS server is running on
    Ultrix, the namespace already contains .DNA_* directories.
    Thus you only need to set up MCC directories.
    
    If your VMS system has DNS$CONTROL program (TRY $ mcr dns$control),
    you can run mcc_system:mcc_dns_setup.com on your system.
    
    Otherwise, you need to execute the following commands on Ultrix system:
     	/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC
    	/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC_Bridge_BackTranslation
    	/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC_Concentrator_BackTranslation
    	/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC_SNMP_BackTranslation
    	/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC_Station_BackTranslation
    	/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC_Terminal_Server_BackTranslation
    	/usr/bin/dnscp create directory .MCC_Sample_BackTranslation
