Did u get any further in your search?
No.. I am
currently trying to finish the new MOP Server project,
so thats (a) out of my way, and (b) available to people on the
list. Basically, the usual loose ends such as portability and
operation testing, and finishing the docs on it.
The InfoServer project will complement the above, in that it
will give us the ability to also net-boot VMS off any given
install host. Basically, the InfoServer client uses MOP to
kickstart things, and then uses LAST (aka LAD, aka LASTdisk)
to do the rest of the disk I/O.
Basically, I'd like to have an InfoServer running here, even if
only for fun. I also need it to reverse-engineer the LAST protocol,
since nobody seems to have a copy of its specification anymore.
So, given the fact that an InfoServer (150, 1000) is just a regular
3100-model machine, I should be able to load the friggin software
onto one, right?
Anyone? Help!
The Question:
Given a regular MV3100-model box, and a working CDROM drive on
it, HOW does one load the InfoServer stuff onto it, making it
an operational InfoServer ?
Cheers,
Fred
