That system must be a VAX or RISC-based system running the VMS or ULTRIX Operating System. Every load host on which the DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT software is installed must contain: o A valid system configuration for the relevant operating system and the appropriate DECnet product. Refer to DEC- net and appropriate operating system Software Product De- scriptions (SPDs). 3 DECnet/SNA Gateway for Channel SSA 29.76.02-A Transport, Version 2.1 o A supported connection on the same Ethernet LAN as DEC- net/SNA Gateway-CT. o An appropriate device available to read the software dur- ing installation - Magnetic Tape, TK50 drive, or CDROM. Disk Space Requirements: Disk space re- quired VAX/VMS 4,800 blocks for installa- tion: (2,400 Kbytes) VAX/ULTRIX 5,400 blocks (2,700 Kbytes) RISC/ULTRIX 6,360 blocks (3,180 Kbytes) Disk space re- quired VAX/VMS 4,600 blocks for use (perma- nent): (2,300 Kbytes) VAX/ULTRIX 5,100 blocks (2,550 Kbytes) RISC/ULTRIX 6,000 blocks (3,000 Kbytes) These counts refer to the disk space required on the sys- tem 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-10K blocks) should be reserved for any dump files that may be generated by DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT. The location of these dump files is determined by the system administrator. In addition each 4 DECnet/SNA Gateway for Channel SSA 29.76.02-A Transport, Version 2.1 Gateway-CT configured will require additional disk space (at least 40 blocks (20 Kbytes)) for configuration scripts. Communications Hardware Required: DECnet/SNA Gateway-CT software runs on the DEC ChannelServer or DEC ChannelServer II, which are available in the follow- ing forms: o DESNA-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies o DESNA-A3 for use with 240V AC power supplies o DESNB-AA for use with 120V AC power supplies o 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 suitable connection to connect to the customer's Ethernet LAN along with any ex- tension cables. S/370 Bus and Tag cables (with terminators if appropriate) for connection into the S/370 system. Note: A raised-floor environment is required for installa- tion of a DEC ChannelServer II system. Other Hardware Required: o VT series terminal for diagnostic use o IBM® Hardware Support The DEC ChannelServer hardware has been tested and war- ranted with the following IBM and PCM hardware config- urations: IBM 9370-40 IBM 9370-50 IBM 9370-60 IBM 9370-80 IBM 9370-90 5 DECnet/SNA Gateway for Channel SSA 29.76.02-A Transport, Version 2.1 IBM 4381-13 IBM 3081 D,G,K IBM 3083 B,E,J,C IBM 3084 IBM 3090-120E IBM 3090-150E IBM 3090-180E IBM 3090-200E IBM 3090-300E IBM 3090-400E IBM 3090-600E Amdahl 5860 Amdahl 5870 Amdahl 5990-700 Amdahl 5990-1400 NAS AS/XL-V60 NAS 8083 NAS 6650 IBM 3044 Channel-Extender OPTIONAL HARDWARE None CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT This layered product is fully supported when installed on any valid and licensed VAXcluster* configuration without re- strictions.
