DIGITAL Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: DIGITAL[TM] SNA Domain Gateway, SPD 38.69.03 Version 2.1 DESCRIPTION The DIGITAL SNA Domain Gateway (Domain Gateway) is a member of DIGITAL's family of DIGITAL SNA network transport products. This family consists of hardware and software products that connect suitably configured networked systems in a DIGITAL environment with suitably configured IBM[R] systems in a SystemsNetwork Architecture (SNA) envi- ronment. With appropriate OpenVMS[TM], DIGITAL UNIX[R], DECnet-Plus (formerly DECnet/OSI), and Windows[R] access routines, users can exchange information and share resources between DIGITAL and IBM net- worked systems in a bidirectional manner. The Domain Gateway is managed and configured using the management soft- ware that is part of the Domain Gateway product. The Domain Gateway supports TCP/IP and DECnet-Plus network protocols. Networks using these protocols are referred to as the non-SNA networks. The Domain Gateway is part of both the SNA network and the non-SNA net- work. Architecturally, it is a DECnet-Plus and/or TCP/IP end node and an SNA Physical Unit Type 5 (PU T5) node. The Domain Gateway appears to the SNA network as an SNA domain that contains one subarea. The DIGITAL SNA Domain Gateway software is supported on the DEC[TM] ChannelServer[TM] II hardware platform [DESNB] and the DEC MicroServer hardware platform [DEMSA]. [Note: The DEC ChannelServer II [DESNB] hard- ware only is retired. However, support for the product (software and hardware) will continue. For details, please contact your local DIG- ITAL representative.] When used with the Domain Gateway software, each May 1997 AE-PN5UD-TE of these hardware products provides SNA connectivity to any DECnet- Plus or TCP/IP system in the non-SNA network. The DEC ChannelServer II hardware unit connects directly to an Eth- ernet local area network (LAN), using a standard Ethernet transceiver cable, and to an IBM S/370 Block Multiplexer channel, using a single set of Bus and Tag connectors. The combination of the Domain Gateway software and the DEC ChannelServer II hardware unit is referred to as a Domain Gateway-CT. The DEC MicroServer hardware unit connects directly to an Ethernet LAN, using a standard Ethernet transceiver cable. The DEC MicroServer hard- ware unit connects to up to four front-end communications controllers (37**-style), using standard synchronous data lines and modems. These front-end processors must all be in the same SNA network. The combi- nation of the Domain Gateway software and the DEC MicroServer hardware unit is referred to as a Domain Gateway-ST. This product can be used in networks currently using other DIGITAL SNA Gateway systems and can share access routines, Ethernet LANs, and load host resources with those systems. The Domain Gateway supports a single physical unit (PU) with its own System Services Control Point (SSCP). The Gateway supports up to 16 explicit routes for each destination subarea in the SNA network, sup- ports IBM Class of Service capability, and allows up to eight virtual routes (each of which can have three transmission priority levels) for each explicit route. The Domain Gateway-CT supports a single trans- mission group (TG). The Domain Gateway-ST supports multiple (up to four) TGs and multilink TGs. The Domain Gateway-CT supports the configuration of up to 1024 log- ical units (LUs), and the Domain Gateway-ST supports up to 128 LUs. All LUs can have multiple sessions. Table 1 shows the maximum number of active LU-LU sessions supported by the two hardware platforms. 2 Table 1: Maximum Sessions Supported by the Domain Gateway ___________________________________________________________________ Hardware Unit Maximum Active Sessions ___________________________________________________________________ DEC ChannelServer II 1024 DEC MicroServer 32 or 128 (depending on software license) ___________________________________________________________________ Because the Domain Gateway is a PU T5 implementation, it enables DECnet- Plus based applications to be either primary logical units (PLUs) or secondary logical units (SLUs) when communicating with IBM applications and peripheral devices. This means that suitably configured DIGITAL based applications can be interactively accessed from IBM SNA networked 3270 devices and PCs. Features Common to All Domain Gateways o Implements an SNA PU T5. o Multiple session support for each LU. o Supports applications acting as either PLUs or SLUs. o Provides access to OpenVMS Alpha, OpenVMS VAX[TM], and DIGITAL UNIX applications from SNA 3270 devices and PCs. o Implements IBM Class of Service support. o Supports SNA explicit routes, virtual routes, and transmission priority levels. o Supports a wide variety of access routines. o Supports IBM MVS, VM, and VSE systems. o Gateway Configuration Utility simplifies installation and config- uration. o Gateway Management Utilities simplify management and trouble- shooting. 3 o Supports SNA-initiated outbound sessions. o DECnet-Plus and/or TCP/IP end node implementation. o Access from DECnet-Plus or TCP/IP systems. o TN3270 Server support. Features Unique to the Domain Gateway-CT o Supports high-bandwidth communication using a block multiplexer channel attachment to an IBM mainframe. o Supports up to 1024 active sessions. o Is upward compatible with DIGITAL SNA Gateway for Channel Trans- port. Features Unique to the Domain Gateway-ST o Supports SNA synchronous communications using the SDLC protocol. o Supports SDLC's Extended Response Mode, allowing a window modulo of 128. o Supports NRZI signaling mode on its synchronous data lines. This allows the Domain Gateway to support IBM data lines coded with either the NORMAL or NRZI option for the IBM NCP LINE resource definition. o Supports full duplex transmission on its synchronous data lines. This allows data to be sent and received simultaneously. This set- ting corresponds to the DATMODE = FULL option for the IBM NCP PU resource definition. o Supports up to 128 active sessions (depending on software license). o Is upward compatible with DIGITAL SNA Gateway for Synchronous Transport. 4 o Supports the line configurations listed in Table 2.

Most OpenVMS Alpha, OpenVMS VAX, and DIGITAL UNIX systems can be used as Domain Gateway load hosts. The HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS section of this Software Product Description describes valid configurations. Other networked systems requiring access to the SNA environment through the Domain Gateway should be configured with the appropriate SNA access routines. When loaded on the DEC ChannelServer hardware unit, the Domain Gateway appears to the SNA network as an IBM 3088 Channel-to-Channel Adapter (CTCA). System programmers configure the IBM channel address as a 3088 device according to specifications listed in both the hardware and software user documentation. When loaded on the DEC MicroServer hardware unit, the Domain Gateway appears to adjacent front-end processors as another front-end proces- sor and appears to IBM hosts in the SNA network as another IBM host. IBM system programmers should configure the adjacent front-end pro- cessors and adjacent IBM hosts according to specifications listed in both the hardware and software user documentation. 5 Components The DIGITAL SNA Domain Gateway software includes two software compo- nents: the Domain Gateway Load Host software (with its Configuration Utility) and the Domain Gateway Management software. Domain Gateway Load Host Software The Domain Gateway Load Host software includes the system image that is downline loaded to one of the supported hardware units and the Con- figuration Utility that provides a convenient method for configuring the Domain Gateway. The Configuration Utility allows Domain Gateway managers to save an- swers and to modify discrete parts of the configuration. The Config- uration Utility can also read path definition files created by IBM network definition utilities and use that information in the Domain Gateway configuration. Because the Domain Gateway supports multiple sessions per LU, the Do- main Gateway manager can configure a single LU for the access routines that support multiple sessions, thus reducing configuration time. Most DIGITAL UNIX, OpenVMS Alpha, and OpenVMS VAX systems can serve as Domain Gateway load hosts. Domain Gateway Management Software The Domain Gateway Management software includes DECnet-Plus style net- work management tools for configuring, controlling, monitoring, and troubleshooting the Domain Gateway. The Domain Gateway manager can set up or modify parameters relating to routes, physical units, logical units, and other key variables necessary for network-to-network com- munications between the SNA and non-SNA networks. In addition, the Domain Gateway Management software allows the manager to diagnose and solve most problems related to the Domain Gateway. On DIGITAL UNIX sys- tems, these DECnet style network management tools are also available in a TCP/IP-only environment. 6 Although all management of the Domain Gateway is performed from a Gateway management node in the non-SNA network, the management of the Domain Gateway's SNA components is conceptually part of the management of the IBM SNA network. Therefore, the management of the routes and the data links connecting the Domain Gateway to the IBM network is the joint responsibility of the IBM system or network programmer and the Domain Gateway manager. (Refer to the CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES sec- tion of this Software Product Description for more information.) The Domain Gateway Management software includes support for Network Control Language (NCL) commands, a monitoring utility (SNAP), and Com- mon Trace Facility (CTF) analysis routines. The SNAP utility displays the status of the Domain Gateway's buffer availability, the number of SNA sessions in progress, and information about the non-SNA and SNA networks. The CTF analysis routines help debug application programs and assist in identifying system problems by capturing and analyzing multiprotocol data. CTF can be used at the transmission group, virtual route, logical unit, or session level. The Domain Gateway Management software resides on a Domain Gateway load host system or, optionally, on additional nodes called Domain Gateway management nodes. Most DIGITAL UNIX, OpenVMS Alpha, and OpenVMS VAX systems can serve as Domain Gateway management hosts. Access Routines OpenVMS, DIGITAL UNIX, or Windows based DIGITAL access routines can use the Domain Gateway. The Domain Gateway supports DIGITAL-supplied access routines as either SLUs or PLUs. For example, the MEP VT[TM] for DIGITAL SNA 3270 Applications Services access routine enables 3270 terminals in an SNA network to connect to applications on OpenVMS sys- tems. For additional information about supported access routines, see the OPTIONAL SOFTWARE section of this Software Product Description. 7 Compatibility with DIGITAL SNA Gateways The Domain Gateway works with all of the DIGITAL SNA access routines except the Distributed Host Command Facility (DHCF). (For more infor- mation about access routines, refer to the Access Routines and OPTIONAL SOFTWARE sections of this Software Product Description.) The Domain Gateway does not have a Remote Job Entry (RJE) server. Instead, the DIGITAL SNA RJE access routine uses an OpenVMS based RJE server. Also note that the Domain Gateway does not support the management utili- ties used for previous DIGITAL SNA Gateways, such as SNANCP, NCP, and NETTRACE. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Processors Supported For information about supported processors, refer to the Software Prod- uct Descriptions for the DIGITAL UNIX Operating System (SPD 46.61.xx) and the OpenVMS Operating System for Alpha and VAX (SPD 25.01.xx). Processors Not Supported MicroVAX I[TM], VAXstation[TM] I, VAX-11/725[TM], VAX-11/782, VAXstation 8000 Additional Processor Requirements Every load host on which the Domain Gateway software is installed must contain: o A valid system configuration for the relevant operating system and the supporting networking software product. (Refer to the operat- ing system's and networking product's Software Product Descriptions and to the SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS section of this SPD.) o A supported connection on the same Ethernet LAN as the DIGITAL SNA Domain Gateway 8 o A CD-ROM device available to read the software during installation Disk Block Space Requirements Disk space required OpenVMS VAX, 37,000 blocks (19 MB) for OpenVMS Alpha,12,000 blocks (6 MB) installation: DIGITAL UNIX, 5 MB Disk space required OpenVMS VAX, 36,000 blocks (17 MB) for use OpenVMS Alpha, 9,000 blocks (5 MB) (permanent): DIGITAL UNIX, 5 MB 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. In addition to disk space allocated to the Domain Gateway software, some disk space (approximately 8K to 10K blocks) should be reserved for any dump files that may be generated by the Domain Gateway. The location of these dump files is determined by the system administra- tor. In addition, each Domain Gateway configured will require addi- tional disk space for configuration scripts (upwards of 40 blocks [20 KB]). Communications Hardware Required Domain Gateway software runs on two hardware platforms: the DEC ChannelServer II and the DEC MicroServer. DEC ChannelServer II The DEC ChannelServer II hardware unit is no longer available, but is supported by the Domain Gateway software in the following forms: o DESNB-AA for use with 120 V ac power supplies o DESNB-A3 for use with 240 V ac power supplies 9 Each DEC ChannelServer II hardware unit has a built-in Ethernet LAN controller, but needs a suitable connection to connect to the customer's Ethernet LAN along with any extension cables. In addition, S/370 Bus and Tag cables (with terminators, if appropriate) are required for connection into the S/370 system. Note: A raised-floor environment is required for installation of a DEC ChannelServer II system. DEC MicroServer The DEC MicroServer is available in the following forms: o DEMSA-AA for use with 120 V ac power supplies o DEMSA-AB for use with 240 V ac power supplies The DEC MicroServer-SP is no longer available, but is supported by the Domain Gateway software in the following forms: o DEMSB-AA for use with 120 V ac power supplies o DEMSB-AB for use with 240 V ac power supplies Each DEC MicroServer hardware unit has a built-in Ethernet LAN con- troller, but needs a suitable connection to connect to the customer's Ethernet LAN along with any extension cables. Each DEC MicroServer hardware unit uses adapter cables to provide the necessary interchange circuits at the appropriate electrical inter- face types and ISO standard connections for each synchronous line. The DEC MicroServer supports up to four synchronous lines; therefore, it requires up to four adapter cables. Table 3 shows the cable number for each of the supported electrical interfaces. 10 Table 3: DEC MicroServer Adapter Cables ___________________________________________________________________ Electrical Adapter Interface Cable Connecter Pinout ___________________________________________________________________ RS232-D/V.24 BS19D-02 ISO 2110 V.35 BC19F-02 ISO 2593 ___________________________________________________________________ Other Hardware Required o VTxxx terminal for diagnostic use (for Domain Gateway-CT only) IBM Hardware Support The DEC ChannelServer II hardware has been tested and warranted with the following IBM and PCM hardware configurations: IBM 3044 Channel-Extender IBM 3090 (All models) IBM ES/9000 (All models) IBM OS/390[R] Amdahl 5860 Amdahl 5870 Amdahl 5990-700 Amdahl 5990-1400 Note: The Amdahl 5890 is not supported with the IBM 3044 Channel- Extender.

SOFTWARE LICENSING Customers need a separate license for each hardware unit they load with the Domain Gateway software (except as otherwise specified by DIGI- TAL). The DIGITAL SNA Domain Gateway license applies to the hardware unit on which the software executes, not to the load host processor on which the software is configured. The single Domain Gateway license agreement includes the right to in- stall and configure the product on a backup load host, in standby mode, for downline loading the Domain Gateway in case of a failure at the primary load host. This backup load host installation requires dupli- cate installation of the primary Product Access Key (PAK). Under the terms of the software license, the Domain Gateway manage- ment utilities that are included in this product (NCL commands, SNAP, and CTF analysis routines) may be installed freely on alternate Gate- way management nodes in addition to the load host. A PAK is not nec- essary to install or execute the management utilities. This software is furnished under the licensing provision of Digital Equipment Corporation's Standard Terms and Conditions. For more in- formation about DIGITAL's licensing terms and policies, contact your local DIGITAL representative. 20 License Management Facility Support This product supports the License Management Facility on OpenVMS and DIGITAL UNIX.
