2.2.1 Preparing to Run MDM on a Diskless or Tapeless System
To run MDM on a diskless or tapeless system that is part of a local area
network, you must:
• Obtain a MicroVAX Ethernet Server Customer Diagnostics Kit.
• Run MDM using the diagnostics in that kit, labeled MV DIAG ENET
CUST.
Refer to the MicroVAX Diagnostic Monitor Ethernet Server User’s Guide at this
time. After you install and downline load MDM, refer again to that manual for
instructions on running MDM.
Note
If you have a diskless or tapeless system that is not part of a local area
network, you cannot run MDM. To diagnose problems, call your Digital
service representative.
2.2.2 Preparing to Run MDM on an RF-Series Integrated Storage
Element (ISE) or Hard Disk
You can install MDM on an RF-series ISE or hard-disk drive by using the
MDM Hard Disk Kit. Installation of that kit requires your completion of
the Diagnostic Software Installation Acknowledgment. See the MicroVAX
Diagnostic Monitor Hard Disk User’s Guide for licensing requirements and
installation instructions.
2.2.3 Preparing to Run MDM on a DSSI VAXcluster
Note
The MDM Hard Disk Kit is required for a two-system DSSI VAXcluster
where one host is a tapeless system, and the other uses the TKxx tape
drive.
TF-series tape drives are DSSI devices and can be shared between
systems in a DSSI VAXcluster. Both systems in a two-system DSSI
VAXcluster can boot MDM from the same drive, However you must run
MDM separately from each host.
