          Installation and Release Notes Information

          in your distribution kit.

                                        NOTE

             At the time the installation guide went to press, an RSM
             backup performance problem (for ULTRIX clients only) was
             being resolved. The resolution to this problem is dis-
             cussed in the release notes. Be sure to read the release
             notes to determine your required actions, if any, related
             to this problem.

          The release notes for RSM Version 2.3 contain information re-
          garding new features, restrictions, warnings, and corrected
          problems. To read these release notes before installation, in-
          voke VMSINSTAL and specify whether you want to view, copy, or
          print the release notes. Refer to the Remote System Manager
          Installation Guide for more information.

          You can install and use RSM Version 2.3 server software on sys-
          tems running VMS Version 5.1 through 5.4 software. You can in-
          stall and use RSM Version 2.3 client software on systems running
          VMS Versions 4.7 through 5.4 software and ULTRIX Versions 4.0
          and 4.1 software.

          The RSM Version 2.3 management server supports RSM Version 2.0,
          Version 2.1, and Version 2.2 VMS clients. Only RSM Version 2.3
          ULTRIX clients are supported by the Version 2.3 management
          server. The management server also supports RSM Version 2.0,
          Version 2.1, and Version 2.2 library and target servers.

          If you are installing RSM Version 2.3 software on a system
          running VMS Version 5.1, 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4 software, you must
          also install an RSM Server or Client Product Authorization Key
          (PAK). If you are installing the RSM Version 2.3 client on an
          ULTRIX RISC system, you must also install an ULTRIX RISC client
          PAK. Please refer to the Remote System Manager Installation
          Guide for more information on PAKs.

          If you intend to use RSM to install VMS Version 5.1 through

          you must refer to Section 2 of the release notes for further
          information on licensing.
