3128.0. "Impact of re-installing DECNet" by TAMARA::NEUMAN::Neumann (Stan Neumann) Fri Feb 07 1997 06:48

On a UNIX (3.2C) platform:

We have a customer who has to re-install DECNet to bring
it up to DECNet 3.2B - he wants to know how big a job he's
in for.  In particular, when he removes DECnet 3.2A, does
that remove links between MAILbus's NCL commands and DECNet's
NCL?  When he re-installs DECNet 3.2B, will the MAILbus NCL commands
work again, or will he have to re-install MAILbus after
installing DECNet?

(And while I'm at it, does anyone know if the same applies
to X.500?)

Thanks,

Stan Neumann

3128.1de-/reinstall everything you manage with nclVIRGIN::OTTSW-Support Switzerland.Mon Feb 10 1997 13:0537
hi Stan,

deinstall 

MAILbus 400 MTA
MAILbus 400 SMTP Gateway if you have 
Digital X.500 Directory Services

in short, everything what you manage with ncl.

then do the DECnet upgrade and afterwards reinstall the above products and
edit/copy start_mta.ncl.

therefore it's a good time to upgrade everything you can to the latest ECO's 
and check whether it makes sense to go to UNIX 3.2G too, at the very beginning
of the upgrades.

check /sbin/osi_applstartup after you've reinstalled X.500 whether the order is
still:

# %dxdSTART%
...
...
# %dxdEND%
# %dsaSTART%
...
...

if there is also X.25 in use to a public X.400 service provider i.e., then have
also an eye on that.

maybe someone has a hack how to do it without reinstalling the messaging
products, however the above is the official procedure.

regards

markus
