Initializing or Configuring Installed Optional Components 



Initialize and/or configure any of the following products as necessary, following the instructions in the sections indicated:

Initializing CDSA (Optional)  

The Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) software is automatically installed with the operating system. However, use of CDSA is not required. If you do not plan to use CDSA or any products that depend on it, you can skip to the next section.

If you do plan to use CDSA, you must execute the following command to perform a one-time configuration procedure. Execute the command from an account that has both SYSPRV and CMKRNL privileges (for example, the SYSTEM account).

$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$INITIALIZE

An example of the output you might see follows:

NoteDo not attempt to remove CDSA from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for CDSA even though there appears to be an option to remove CDSA. CDSA is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Any attempt to remove it will not work cleanly, and could create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product CPQ AXPVMS CDSA V2.1 is referenced 
   by DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V8.2
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this

 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

For more information about CDSA, refer torefer to HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 1: Common Data Security Architecture.

Configuring the Availability Manager Base Software (Optional)  

The Availability Manager base kit is automatically installed with the operating system. However, use of Availability Manager is not required. If you do not plan to use Availability Manager or any products that depend on it, you can skip to the next section.

The files in the Availability Manager base kit make up what is called the Data Collector. The Data Collector is used to collect data for the Availability Manager and DECamds products. To display the data, you need to install either an Availability Manager or a DECamds kit on a node in the local LAN. These kits are included in the OpenVMS upgrade media or can be obtained at the following Web site:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/availman/index.html

The base kit files are the same files that have been provided with the OpenVMS installation kit since Version 7.2. The only change for OpenVMS Version 8.2 is that these files are now installed as a required product rather than being bundled as part of the operating system kit. Procedures for configuring and using these files remains unchanged.

For more information about how to configure and use the files in the Availability Manager base kit, refer to the section "Performing Postinstallation Tasks" in the Availability Manager installation instructions for OpenVMS (Installing Availability Manager on OpenVMS Alpha Systems and Running DECamds and the Availability Manager Concurrently ). This and other Availability Manager documents, as well as DECamds documents, are available at the following Web site:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/availman/docs.html


NoteAlthough the Availability Manager base software can be removed from the system with the PRODUCT REMOVE command, HP recommends that you do not attempt to remove the software. The Availability Manager base software is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Any attempt to remove it will not work cleanly, and could create other undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP AXPVMS Availability Manager V8.2 is referenced
   by DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V8.2
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this

 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

Configuring Kerberos (Optional)  

The Kerberos for OpenVMS software, which is based on MIT Kerberos, is automatically installed with the operating system. However, use of Kerberos is not required. If you do not plan to use Kerberos or any products that depend upon Kerberos, you can skip to the next section.

To configure Kerberos, perform the following steps from a privileged OpenVMS user account (for example, SYSTEM).

  1. Run the following command procedure to configure the Kerberos clients and servers:
    $ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$CONFIGURE.COM
  2. Add the following line to your SYLOGIN command procedure or to the LOGIN.COM of each user who will use Kerberos:
    $ @SYS$MANAGER:KRB$SYMBOLS
  3. Edit SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to remove the exclamation point from the KRB$STARTUP.COM line so that it appears as shown in the following example. (Note that SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM has HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS starting before Kerberos. This is required.)
    $ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$STARTUP.COM

For additional setup and configuration information, refer to the HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 3: Kerberos manual. This document contains links to the MIT Kerberos documentation, and is available from the OpenVMS Version 8.2 CD or DVD.


NoteDo not attempt to remove Kerberos from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for Kerberos even though there appears to be an option to remove Kerberos. Kerberos is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Any attempt to remove it will not work cleanly, and could create other undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP AXPVMS Kerberos V2.1 is referenced
   by DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V8.2
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this

 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

Initializing and Running the Performance Data Collector Base Software (Optional)  

The Performance Data Collector for HP OpenVMS (TDC) collects and manages configuration and performance data for analysis by other applications. TDC_RT Version 2.1 is a run-time only (base) variant of the TDC software that is automatically installed with the OpenVMS operating system for use on specific operating system platforms.

Use of the TDC_RT software is not required. If you do not plan to use TDC_RT or any products that depend on it, you can skip to the next section. To make use of TDC_RT, TDC_RT must be running on the system.

TDC_RT does not run automatically when the system starts, but any suitably privileged user can start the software manually. This section includes information about system parameters, privileges and quotas, startup, compatibility with prior releases, and installation in OpenVMS Clusters.


NoteDo not attempt to remove TDC_RT from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for TDC_RT even though there appears to be an option to remove it. TDC_RT is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. HP or third-party applications might require TDC_RT. Any attempt to remove TDC_RT will not work cleanly, and could create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP TDC_RT V2.1 is referenced 
   by DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V8.2
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this
   software dependency 
 -PCSI-E-HRDF2, if you override the recommendation to terminate the operation,
 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

User Privileges and Quotas 

Users of TDC_RT will require various privileges, depending on the types of data to be collected. Online help is available when running the collector application, specifies the privileges required to collect each type of data. Enabling the following set of privileges allows collection of all data items: CMKRNL, LOG_IO, NETMBX, PHY_IO, SYSLCK, SYSPRV, WORLD.

Users of the product also require working set quotas (WSQUO) greater than the following:

4000 pagelets on Alpha systems

5000 pagelets on I64 systems

Startup File 

TDC_RT provides a startup file that should be invoked during system startup. The startup file defines several logical names required for use of the product, but the startup file does not actually start the data collector.

Add the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:TDC$STARTUP

To run TDC$STARTUP.COM, SYSNAM privilege is required.

Running TDC_RT 

To run the collector application, users can enter the TDC command at the DCL prompt. But first, because the TDC command is not included in the system command table SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE, individual users must add the command to their table by entering the following command at the DCL prompt:

$ SET COMMAND SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC$DCL

Each user can add this SET command to their LOGIN.COM file. However, because elevated privileges are required for most data collection operations, it may not be appropriate to add this command to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM.

For more information about running the application, refer to the file SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC_RT_README.TXT. Release notes are located in the file SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC_RELEASE_NOTES.TXT. Refer to both of these files before running the collector application.

Compatibility with Prior Releases 

For users of some third-party system-management applications, TDC Version 1.0 was distributed by web download. Applications that use TDC Version 1.0 will not work with TDC_RT Version 2.1. When TDC_RT Version 2.1 or any newer version of TDC is installed, files associated with TDC Version 1.0 are not removed. In any case, TDC_RT Version 2.1 and TDC Version 1.0 can safely coexist on a system. You can remove the older TDC files by uninstalling TDC (use the DCL command PRODUCT REMOVE).

TDC Version 2.0 was released for use on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 systems. Prior to installing OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.2, you should have removed TDC Version 2.0 from your system. (When you install the latest version of TDC, the Version 2.0 files are removed automatically.) Software developers relying on the Software Developer's Kit (SDK) provided with TDC Version 2.0 should obtain the updated SDK that is included with the complete Performance Data Collector Version 2.1 kit. You can obtain that kit from the following Web site:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/tdc/

With this release of OpenVMS, TDC and TDC_RT use the same naming scheme for image files. A build number is tagged to the image file names. For example, if the version of TDC_RT that ships with your operating system is Version 2.1-60 (where 60 is the build number), then the files that are installed will have names such as TDC$APISHR$A_V820-0060.EXE, where $A denotes Alpha ($I denotes I64), V820 denotes the version of OpenVMS (8.2), and 0060 is the build number. The SYS$STARTUP:TDC$STARTUP.COM startup file, which is also identical for both TDC and TDC_RT, uses this build number to determine which image files to use. When a subsequent installation is performed with software that has higher build numbers, the TDC$STARTUP.COM startup file uses the image files with the highest build number appropriate for the current platform.

Installation in OpenVMS Clusters  

TDC_RT is installed in SYS$COMMON:[TDC] by default. Included are only those files required to run the data collector with the particular operating system version it was distributed with. Once the TDC_RT is installed and SYS$STARTUP:TDC$STARTUP.COM has been run on each cluster member, then all cluster members in a single-version, single-architecture OpenVMS Cluster should be able to run the software.

For mixed-version and mixed-architecture clusters, you should obtain and install a complete Performance Data Collector kit (TDC Version 2.1) from the following Web site:

http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/tdc/

The complete kit provides an SDK and run-time environments for all supported OpenVMS configurations. It supports installation on a clusterwide basis in mixed-version and mixed-architecture OpenVMS Clusters.

Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station (Optional)  

If you installed the OpenVMS Management Station software on your system (either by accepting all default values or by selecting the component manually during the installation or upgrade procedure), you must perform several tasks on your OpenVMS system and your PC before you can use OpenVMS Management Station. These tasks include the following:

For complete information about preparing your OpenVMS system and your PC to run the OpenVMS Management Station server and client software, see Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station.

Installing OpenVMS Debugger Clients on a PC (Optional)  

The OpenVMS Debugger Version 8.2 runs on both OpenVMS Alpha and I64. On OpenVMS Alpha systems only, the OpenVMS Debugger includes a client/server interface. The debug server runs on OpenVMS; debug clients run on OpenVMS and on Microsoft® Windows® 95, Windows 98, Windows NT®, Windows 2000, and Windows XP. There is no special installation procedure for the components that run on OpenVMS. This section describes the procedure for installing the debug client on a PC.

If you have Windows NT, you might need to install a COM update kit (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows 95 do not require such a kit); choose one of the following options:

CPU Operating System Client Kit
Alpha
Windows NT
40COMAXP.EXE
Intel®
Windows NT
40COMUPD.EXE

You must also install the debug client kit:

CPU Operating System Client Kit
Alpha
Windows NT
DEBUGALPHA011.EXE
Intel
Windows 95, 98, Me, NT, 2000, XP
DEBUGX86011.EXE

These client kits are self-extracting .EXE files. To make these clients available to PC users, copy these files from the operating system CD or DVD to a suitable PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) or Advanced Server for OpenVMS share, FTP server, or other device available to the PC. (For the directory where these kits ship on the media, refer to the Guide to HP OpenVMS Version 8.2 Media provided with the operating system media kit.)

After the appropriate executable file has been transferred to the PC, the user can run the file to install the debug client on the PC. The InstallShield installation procedure guides the user through the installation.

By default, the debug client is installed in the \Programs\OpenVMS Debugger directory on the PC. Click Browse to select an alternate directory.

Choose one of the following options:

Install Option Details
Typical
Debug client and HP OpenVMS Debugger Manual in HTML format
Compact
Debug client only
Custom
Choice of Debug client and/or HP OpenVMS Debugger Manual in HTML format

The installation procedure creates an OpenVMS Debugger program folder that contains the following items:
