Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station
G.3 After Installing the Client Software on Your PC
PC and the OpenVMS system uses only TCP/IP. Therefore, at least one
OpenVMS system must be running TCP/IP.
You do need to make sure that your PC can connect to the primary-server
systems, as described in the following sections. OpenVMS Management Station
connects your PC to the primary-server system and then routes management
operations to the target systems.
G.4 Defining TCP/IP Nodes
Your hosts file or name server must be able to resolve the IP name or address
of all primary-server systems. If you can successfully ping the primary-server
systems from your PC, then this condition is met.

Client
Version 3.0 of the OpenVMS Management Station client is not dependent on
Version 2.1 and does not share any files with this prior version. After installing
