Understanding InfoServer Client for OpenVMS
Functions
InfoServer Client for OpenVMS software enables clients running
the OpenVMS operating system to access virtual device services offered
by InfoServer systems on a LAN. Software components include the
following ones:
LASTport driver The LASTport driver provides reliable data transfer services
for its clients. It interacts with the Data Link driver and the
LASTport/Disk driver as an efficient transport for a virtual device
service. The LASTport driver can support other applications, such
as a primitive data queueing service.
LASTport/Disk client driver The LASTport/Disk client driver presents a standard block
device interface to the system. The OpenVMS file system interacts
with the LASTport/Disk client as if the LASTport/Disk client were
a local disk driver. The LASTport/Disk client driver supports both
raw and buffered interfaces.
LASTport/Tape client driver The LASTport/Tape client driver enables OpenVMS clients to
access and use as local devices SCSI tapes attached to InfoServer
systems.
LASTCP and LADCP utilities These utilities allow you to start InfoServer Client software
on your system, monitor transport status, and configure and maintain
InfoServer device services.
