TCP/IP (UCX) on V5.5-2?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Does V 5.5-2 support UCX. What is necessary to install ?

The Answer is :

    Yes. The last supported pair was UCX V3.3 and OpenVMS/VAX V5.5-2 (but
    note that this is only under a Prior Version Support Contract). The
    latest ECO for UCX V3.3 is 14, the kit name is UCXAV_E10033 and is
    available on the FTP site at URL:
 
    ftp://ftp.digital.com.au/pub/patches/vms/vax/v5.5-2/ucx/3.3/
 
    Download the following files:
    ucxav_e10033.a-dcx_vaxexe
    ucxav_e10033.CHKSUM
    ucxav_e10033.README
    ucxav_e10033.CVRLET_TXT
 
    Note that this is the Australian FTP site. There are other FTP sites,
    but this wizard doesn't know his way around them. See also the
    following URL for searching for ECOs:
 
    http://ftp.digital.com.au/cgi-bin/grep
 
    That being said, I have it on very good authority that later versions
    of UCX, up to V4.2 ECO 1 will *work* on OpenVMS V5.5-2, even though
    the installation guide says V6.1 or higher. This combination has not
    been formally tested, and is not supported.
