Block Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size = 1):
 
Disk space required for installation:  7,000 blocks 
                                       (3,584,000 bytes)
 
Disk space required for use (permanent): 7,000 blocks 
                                         (3,584,000 bytes)
 
DNS requires 7000 blocks of disk space. 2000 blocks of disk space on 
the system disk is required. 5000 blocks of disk space is required
on the disk that will store the database. This can be the system disk 
or another disk on the system.
 
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.
 
Communication devices as specified by DECnet-VAX (SPD 25.03.xx).
 
OPTIONAL HARDWARE
 
Additional communications devices as supported by DECnet-VAX 
(SPD 25.03.xx).
 
CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT
 
This layered product is fully supported when installed on any valid 
and licensed VAXcluster * configuration.  It is recommended that this 
product be installed on only one of the processors in the cluster.  
Refer to the Release Notes for a description of the Distributed Name 
Service on VAXcluster systems.
 
In order to configure some product specific attributes that must 
remain unique to each system, certain components of the product are 
stored in the system specific environment (SYS_$SPECIFIC:[SYSxxx]), or 
the VAX, MicroVAX or VAXstation processor on which the installation is 
performed.  The remaining components of the product, including some or 
all of the executable images will be installed common to all accessing 
systems.  The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS sections of this product's 
Software Product Description and System Support Addendum detail any 
special hardware required by this product.

* V5.x VAXcluster configurations are fully described in the VAXcluster 
  Software Product Description (29.78.xx) and include CI, Ethernet and Mixed
  Interconnect configurations.
