Installation of CDSAon OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1
CDSA Version 1.0 is automatically installed when you installOpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1. However, you can install and run CDSAVersion 2.0. The following sections provide important setup andinitialization information for whichever version of CDSA you use.
CDSA Version 2.0 Setup and Initialization If you want to run CDSA Version 2.0 on OpenVMS Version 7.3-1,you must manually install the CDSA Version 2.0 kit, which is includedon the OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 media. Use the following command toinstall CDSA Version 2.0 on a Version 7.3-1 system:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL CDSA /SOURCE=disk:[directory]
Before you can use CDSA Version 2.0, you must perform thefollowing manual procedure, for which you must have SYSPRV privileges.Execute the following command to initialize CDSA Version 2.0:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$UPGRADE
This procedure automatically runs CDSA$INITIALIZE. It is notnecessary to rerun any initialization procedure when the systemis rebooted; therefore, you do not need to add the initializationto the OpenVMS startup procedures.
The CDSA$UPGRADE procedure can take a few minutes, dependingon your processor and disk speeds. When the procedure is run interactively,you will see system messages similar to the following:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$UPGRADEModule uninstalled successfully.Module uninstalled successfully.Module uninstalled successfully....CDSA has previously been initialized on this system.Re-initializing CDSA....Installing CDSA *** Installing MDSMDS installed successfully *** Installing CSSM Module installed successfully*** Installing FFDL Module installed successfully.*** Installing 509CL...CDSA Initialization complete
CDSA Version1.0 Setup and Initialization Although CDSA Version 1.0 is automatically installed as partof OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1, setup and initialization of CDSAare not. Before you can use CDSA Version 1.0, you must perform thefollowing manual procedure, for which you must have SYSPRV privilege.Enter the following command to initialize CDSA Version 1.0:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$INITIALIZE
During initialization, CDSA checks to see whether the CDSA_SYSDIR:[CDSAFFDB]and CDSA_SYSDIR:[REGISTRY...] directories are both present. If oneis missing, CDSA outputs the following message:
The existing CDSA configuration on this system is corrupt.
If this occurs, you can recover by deleting both directoriesand rerunning the CDSA initialization procedure. However, you willlose any CDSA information that has already been stored.
It is not necessary to rerun the initialization procedurewhen the system is rebooted; therefore, you do not need to add theinitialization to the OpenVMS startup procedures.
The CDSA$INITIALIZE procedure can take 5 minutes or longer,depending on your processor and disk speeds. When the procedureis run interactively, you will see system messages similar to thefollowing:
When a new version of CDSA is installed (for example, in anupgrade from a field test version to a production version, or anupgrade to a new version of OpenVMS), the CDSA upgrade proceduremust be run. (See CDSA Version 2.0 Setup and Initialization.)Any CDSA application should be shut down before you run the initializationor upgrade procedure.
Warning Against Uninstalling CDSA from OpenVMSAlpha Version 7.3-1 or Higher The POLYCENTER Software Installation utility command PRODUCTREMOVE is not supported for CDSA on OpenVMSAlpha Version 7.3-1 or higher, even though there is an apparentoption to remove CDSA. (This option is due to the use of the POLYCENTERSoftware Installation utility in the installation.) CDSA is installedtogether with the operating system and is tightly bound with it.An attempt to remove it from Version 7.3-1 or higher would not workcleanly and could create other undesirable side effects. An attemptto remove CDSA results in the following message:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product CPQ AXPVMS CDSA Vx.x isreferenced by DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3-2-PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly boundby this software dependency
