I am the system manager for our project's SPARCstations, pcs, and
our networks.  It looks like we might be moving one of our
mainframe applications (under adabas/natural) to one or more high-end
vms micro/minis, which would then become my responsibility.  I have 
some vax experience (bsd), and no vms experience worth talking about.

Could anyone recommend some readable books/papers on administering
a vms system, network issues, vax nfs issues, file system
management, remote dump capabilities (to unix 8mm), novice
administrator gotcha's, performance issues, etc...?  

Thanks.

-Ed
