You put in another MVII board (or even a MVII and
matching ram) and keep
trucking. Anyone whos wored with vaxen would know this.
The system HWID is not a serial number that I'm aware of but a
model/product ID so that VMS (or Ultrix) "knows" a bit about the
processor
(or chipset) and it's busses.
OK, I'd thought that the HWID was specific to that particular CPU board such
as it is on a Sun Sparc.
However, some 3rd party vendors use licensing schemes based on the MAC
Address of the ethernet board. I know on Linux/x86 this can be changed.
Can this be changed on VMS? My previous incorrect scenerio holds true if
you're running software such as this.
