ULTRIX Guide to Server Setup

This document, the "ULTRIX Guide to Server Setup" (Order Number: AA-ML74D-TE), published by Digital Equipment Corporation in June 1990, provides instructions for setting up a server running ULTRIX Version 4.0 or higher.

The guide primarily focuses on configuring an ULTRIX server to support two main services:

1. Diskless Management Services (DMS): Enabling the server to manage and provide resources for diskless clients. This includes details on disk space requirements for dlenv (diskless environment) and dlclient (diskless client) file systems, and software installation procedures from tape or CD-ROM.
2. Remote Installation Services (RIS): Setting up the server to facilitate remote installations of ULTRIX software on clients. This section also covers disk space estimations and installation steps from tape or CD-ROM.

Additionally, the document provides an overview of server purposes, supported distribution media, server/client version compatibility, and necessary user knowledge. Appendices detail various RISC and VAX supported software subsets, including their sizes, descriptions, and dependencies.
