HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Channel Transport, V2.3

HP DECnet SNA Gateway for Channel Transport, SPD 29.76.07
Version 2.3
Processors Supported
For information about supported processors, refer to the
OpenVMS Operating System for Integrity servers, Alpha
and VAX Software Product Description (SPD 82.35.xx
and SPD 25.01.xx).
Processors Not Supported
MicroVAX I, VAXstation I, VAX-11/730, VAX-11/750,
VAX-11/780, VAX-11/782, VAX-11/785, VAXstation
8000.
Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1)
Disk space required for installation:
OpenVMS Integrity servers 14,500 blocks
(7,424 KB)
OpenVMS Alpha 14,500 blocks
(7,424 KB)
OpenVMS VAX 14,500 blocks
(7,424 KB)
Disk space required for use (permanent):
OpenVMS Integrity servers 10,030 blocks
(5,135 KB)
OpenVMS Alpha 5,047 blocks
(2,526 KB)
OpenVMS VAX 4,191 blocks
(2,096 KB)
These counts refer to the disk space required on the
system disk. The sizes are approximate; actual sizes
may vary depending on the user’s system environment,
configuration, and software options.
In addition to disk space allocated to the DECnet SNA
Gateway-CT software, some disk space (approximately
8K to 10K blocks) should be reserved for any dump files
that may be generated by HP DECnet SNA Gateway-
CT. The location of these dump files is determined by
the system administrator. In addition, each Gateway-CT
configured will require additional disk space (at least 40
blocks (20 KB)) for con figuration scripts.
Communications Hardware Requirements
HP DECnet SNA Gateway-CT software runs on the
DEC ChannelServer or DEC ChannelServer II, which
are supported in the following forms:
• DESNA-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies
• DESNA-A3 for use with 240V AC power supplies
• DESNB-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies
• DESNB-A3 for use with 240V AC power supplies
The DEC ChannelServer and DEC ChannelServer II
have built-in Ethernet LAN controllers, but need a suit-
able connection to connect to the customer’s Ethernet
LAN along with any extension cables.
S/370 Bus and Tag cables (with terminators, if appropri-
ate) are required for connection into the S/370 system.
Note: A raised-floor environment is required for instal-
lation of a DEC ChannelServer II system.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS
Using SNA Gateway-CT software requires:
• OpenVMS Operating System for Integrity servers
Version 8.3 or 8.2-1 (SPD 82.35.xx).
or
• OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha Version 8.3,
8.2 or 7.3-2 (SPD 82.35.xx).
or
• OpenVMS Operating System for VAX Version 7.3
(SPD 25.01.xx).
Using SNA Gateway-CT software requires a networking
product appropriate for the version of OpenVMS.
Networking options include:
• DECnet for OpenVMS (Phase IV, SPD 48.48.xx)
• DECnet Plus (SPD 50.45.xx for both Integrity servers
and Alpha, SPD 25.03.xx for VAX).
