thanks Don,
this is not the issue for my setup here, not DNS, I don't think so,
at the time when non-SCM server is trying to fetch data(during non-SCM 
vice-setup), this appears in UpdateSrvLog on SCM:

16:10:45 Access denied to file db/ROOTVOLUME

and above file does not even exist, vice-setup does not create it
is it something I need to create manually?

can anybody point me to some readings on Replication, manual and howtos 
don't work for me
VSGDB file is another one that has to be created manually?
and I really cannot figure out its syntax from the manual

cheers
