HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS

The server configuration settings determine:
The same language must be used by all servers in the domain. HP recommends that all clients that will access the server also be configured to use the same language; otherwise, names containing characters that are not supported by the server language might not appear to clients as expected. |
For more information about changing configuration settings, see Section 3.6, How to Change Server Configuration Settings.
For more information about each server configuration setting, refer to
the HP Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Administrator's Guide.
3.3.7 What Do You Want the Administrator Account Password to Be?
If you are configuring a PDC, the configuration procedure prompts you to specify the password to be set for the domain Administrator account. If you are configuring a member server, the configuration procedure prompts you for the member server's local Administrator account password to be set. The member server's local Administrator account password gives access to the member server's local security account database. As with Windows NT, there may be situtations where you would like to allow certain people to manage a member server's local database without giving them the ability to manage the entire domain.
Passwords are case sensitive and can contain up to 14 characters. Valid characters are alphanumeric characters and any of the following special characters:
! # $ % & () - . ^ _ ` { } ~
3.3.8 Are You Going to Supply Account/Password Information?
If you are configuring your server to join an existing domain (as a BDC or member server), you can either:
The former option is useful if the domain administrator does not wish to give out the user name and password of the Administrator account in the domain to the person configuring this server to join the domain. The domain administrator can use the ADMINISTER ADD COMPUTER command or the Windows NT Server Manager to add the computer to the domain. If this is the case, answer NO to this prompt, and you will not be prompted for account/password information.
With the latter option, the configuration procedure requests the
domain's PDC to add the computer to the domain. You will be prompted
for a domain administrator account user name and password, as explained
in Section 3.3.9, What Is the Domain Administrator Password?.
3.3.9 What Is the Domain Administrator Password?
When you choose to have the computer added automatically by the
configuration procedure, you are prompted for a domain administrator
account user name and password. As noted in Section 3.3.8, Are You Going to Supply Account/Password Information?, the PDC is
requested to add the computer to the domain. The PDC validates the
account user name and password on behalf of the configuration
procedure. Enter the password, observing the rules specified in
Section 3.3.7, What Do You Want the Administrator Account Password to Be?.
3.3.10 Do You Want to Enter a New Administrator Account Password?
In certain cases, you are prompted whether you want to enter a new
Administrator password. This gives you the opportunity to change the
password.
3.3.11 Do You Want to Start the Server?
The configuration procedure asks you if you want to start the Advanced Server. If you do not want to start the Advanced Server at this time, you can do so later from the command line after the configuration procedure completes.
Before you start the server on any OpenVMS Cluster member,
HP recommends that you configure the Advanced Server on each
cluster member that you want to use as a server. You can then use the
SYSMAN utility to start the server on all cluster members. If you
choose to start the server individually on each cluster member, make
sure that you do so from the SYSTEM account (or a similar account) on
each server node. For more information, see Section 5.4.3, How to Start the Advanced Server in an OpenVMS Cluster.
3.4 How to Start the Advanced Server Configuration Procedure
After the installation procedure completes, the OpenVMS system prompt ($) is displayed.
$ @SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$CONFIG |
Table 3-1, Advanced Server Configuration Prompts, tells you how to respond to the prompts that PWRK$CONFIG displays.
Table 3-1 shows only the prompts PWRK$CONFIG displays; it does not show any informational messages. For a complete sample configuration script, see Appendix B, Sample Advanced Server Installation and Configuration. |
