You need to turn your production system into a more logical-name enabled
solution so that if it boots on a different machine, you can have DCL
that executes based on the system hardware type.

Is that possible? I didn't think software like Multinet and DECNet
could use a logical name to refer to an interface ( or a "line" in
DECNet terminology )

I suppose I could write DCL that reconfigures those products at
boot time before starting them, but that seems overly complicated.

You could also achieve this by having 2 different system roots on the
system disk, with system specific command procedures in those roots that
define the varous logicals and start tyhe system specific stuff.

I will have a second (actually a third - there's two production ES40s
that boot from that disk at the moment) system root for the
GS140 on the system disk so that I can run it at the same time as
the existing ES40s for configuring and testing purposes, but the goal
was that if either of the ES40s die I want to be able to bring the GS140
on-line in place of it and have all the node specific stuff ( queues, PMDF
server, FAX server, etc) start up on the GS140.
