Compaq Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS SPD 30.50.25 and PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) INTRODUCTION This Software Product Description describes two separate products that provide similar PC server capabilities: o Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS requires OpenVMS Alpha V7.2. o PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) requires OpenVMS Alpha or VAX[TM] V7.1 or V7.2. Both products are included in the CD-ROM media kit (QA-A93AA-H8) and are available on both the Operating System and Layered Products Consolidated Software Distribution CD-ROM. This Software Product Description (SPD) has three sections: o Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS o PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) o Software Licensing and Ordering Information January 1999 AE-RD64B-TE PRODUCT NAME: Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS DESCRIPTION Advanced Server for OpenVMS[TM] is an OpenVMS layered application that provides networking functions that are compatible with the Windows NT[TM] Server - with additional features. Advanced Server is based on Windows NT Server source code from Microsoft[R] and AT&T[R]. The Advanced Server is based on PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) - with new capabilities to support the Windows NT integration features introduced with OpenVMS V7.2 on Alpha. These capabilities provide a tighter integration with the OpenVMS V7.2 Operating System and include support for the ODS-5 based Enhanced File Specifications - including long names and deep directories, support for the OpenVMS Registry (based on the Windows NT registry) and COM capabilities that deliver enhanced integration of the Windows NT and OpenVMS environments. (The ODS-2 file system will continue to be supported.) As a server for workstations on a network, the Advanced Server provides file and print shares that enable a community of desktop users to share computing resources efficiently. The Advanced Server can function as a simple file and print server for a small, isolated community of users or as the foundation of a large network distributed over a wide geographical area. The Advanced Server software lets DOS, Windows[R], Windows NT, Windows 95[R], Windows 98[R], OS/2[R], and OpenVMS users share printers connected to Alpha computers or OpenVMS cluster systems - as well as network-based printers such as LAT[TM] printers and DIGITAL PrintServers[TM]. The Advanced Server represents the Windows NT Server systems technology. It enhances the Windows NT Server functionality by incorporating Microsoft technology to deliver powerful features for network administration and enhanced security. The Advanced Server can operate independently or in cooperation with systems running Windows NT Server software. 2 FEATURES The Advanced Server adds an additional dimension to general purpose OpenVMS systems. In addition to providing traditional support for business, scientific, and engineering applications, the Advanced Server allows an OpenVMS system to appear to PC clients as a Windows NT Server. The major features of the Advanced Server are described in the following sections. File Services An Advanced Server provides clients with a remote file system that appears as a transparent extension of the client system's local computing environment. Advanced Server file shares are based on Microsoft's Advanced Server V3.0 SMB (Server Message Block) protocols. Each file stored in a file service is stored as an OpenVMS file in Record Management Services (RMS) format. Three types of RMS file or record formats are allowed and supported on each volume: o Sequential stream o Sequential fixed length record (512 bytes per record) o Sequential undefined Files stored in a file service are accessible to PC clients, to OpenVMS users, and to applications that can interpret the content and organization of a file written by the client application. Multiple clients can concurrently access files stored on the server's disk through the file access modes and byte-range locking support provided by Advanced Server. An Advanced Server lets users share OpenVMS files. You can use discretionary Windows NT access controls on each file and directory to 3 specify the groups and users that can access files, to define the levels of access that each group or user is permitted, and to control auditing supported by Windows NT-like security. Additional, optional security is provided by OpenVMS file and directory protections. Print Shares The Advanced Server software lets DOS, Windows[R], Windows NT, Windows 95[R], Windows 98[R], OS/2[R], and OpenVMS users share printers connected to Alpha computers or OpenVMS cluster systems - as well as network-based printers such as LAT[TM] printers and DIGITAL PrintServers[TM]. Print shares are supported in local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) environments. PC clients can print files from the DOS, OS/2, Windows, Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows NT operating systems as well as from PC applications. Multiple print shares can be defined for a single printer. For example, separate services can be created for landscape-mode printing and portrait-mode printing. Similarly, separate services can be created for DIGITAL mode and IBM[R] ProPrinter[R] mode printing for a single LA75[TM] printer. The Advanced Server supports the DECprint[TM] Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS product, which provides PostScript[R] and DEC[TM] ANSI printing to selected industry-standard PostScript printers. Sharing of Network Resources by Heterogeneous Users Services provided by the Advanced Server are accessible to PATHWORKS clients as well as to Microsoft clients. All clients using the services of an Advanced Server must be properly licensed. (For more information, see the Software Licensing section.) Files are stored on the server in native OpenVMS RMS format. This allows information stored by the PCs using Advanced Server to be shared with traditional OpenVMS users. In addition, this feature allows information to be shared among all clients. 4 Network Transport Support The Advanced Server for OpenVMS supports DECnet[TM] (Phase IV) and DECnet- Plus[TM] (formerly known as DECnet/OSI) transport software as supported by the OpenVMS V7.2 Operating System. The Advanced Server also supports TCP/IP and NetBEUI network transport software. One or more transport stacks can work concurrently on the server. Both the TCP/IP and DECnet transports are sold as separate Compaq products (require a separate license). The TCP/IP product must include a PATHWORKS IP driver (PWIP) in order to work with the Advanced Server. NetBEUI transport software is included with the Advanced Server software. Using NetBEUI transport software, clients can access the server in the LAN for file and print shares. See the Software Requirements section for information on supported network transport software. NetBIOS[TM] Interface Support The Advanced Server supports the NetBIOS interface in DECnet, TCP/IP, and NetBEUI networks. Advanced Server uses NetBIOS naming services and datagram services. However, a NetBIOS programming interface is not provided. NetBIOS interface support includes the support of multiple transport stacks on a single or different network controllers. NetBIOS support under TCP/IP includes both a p-node and a b-node RFC 1001/1002 implementation. Therefore, the NetBIOS interface is supported under TCP/IP in both LAN and WAN environments. The Advanced Server Configuration Manager utility allows you to select one or both of the following methods for NetBIOS name resolution for WAN support: o LMHosts file o Windows Internet Name Server (WINS) Flexible Security Models As an option, the Advanced Server security model can implement the windows NT security model with the OpenVMS security model. The server can be configured to use the security implementation best suited to the environment. 5 o In Advanced Server Only mode, only the Advanced Server security model is enforced. The Advanced Server employs a user-level security model that provides precise control over access to shared resources, including disk devices, directories, and printers. Control is based on a password assigned to each user account and the specific access permissions defined for the resources. The Advanced Server incorporates enhanced features that provide a high level of control over user and resource permissions and auditing. These features include support of discretionary access control permissions on individual files, directories, and resources and complete auditing capabilities. Like Windows NT Servers, the Advanced Server does not support share- level security and operates in user-level security mode only. o In the Advanced Server and OpenVMS security model, both the OpenVMS and Advanced Server security models are enforced. Advanced Server security is enhanced with OpenVMS security. Users who require this additional security support can continue to protect their resources based on OpenVMS security. Domain Support The Advanced Server allows the network to be subdivided into domains (administrative groups of servers and clients). An Advanced Server can be a member of a single domain. An Advanced Server can be a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC). Domains are a convenient mechanism for controlling user access to the network and for managing large networks. An Advanced Server for DIGITAL UNIX[R], as well as any Windows NT compatible server, can be part of the same domain as an Advanced Server for OpenVMS and can be designated as either the Primary Domain Controller or Backup Domain Controller. 6 The Advanced Server for OpenVMS provides support for wide area networks using one or both of the following methods: o LMHosts file The presence of the LMHosts file on the Advanced Server allows Net- Logon services and security database replication over wide area TCP/IP configurations. This file contains a list of nodes from geographically dispersed sites synchronized by the Primary Domain Controller and accessible to clients in the server's domain. However, use of the LMHosts file for replication over extreme distances or in networks with slow transmission speeds is not recommended. o WINS (Windows Internet Name Server) Support for WINS allows the Advanced Server to act as a WINS client; that is, to use the name registration and resolution facilities available from a Microsoft WINS across routed wide area TCP/IP networks, thus enabling WAN support from WINS for domain functions, NetLogon services, and security database replication. Trust Relationships The Advanced Server supports trusts. Trust relationships can allow users from other domains to access resources in the local domain and/or local domain users to access resources in other domains. NetLogon Services A single domain-wide logon lets a user access resources on any server in a domain or on servers in other domains that trust the domain. The domain capabilities of the Advanced Server make it possible for a user to issue a single logon request to authenticate the user for access to multiple servers in a network. The NetLogon service forces the validation of users' logon requests. The logon server that processes a request checks its copy of the domain-wide user accounts database for the username and password supplied in the logon request. 7 Network Browser Services The Advanced Server can act as a Master Browser in a Windows NT network. TimeSource Services DOS, Windows, and OS/2 clients can request date and time information from the Advanced Server and set the local workstation date and time to coincide with it. User Environment Management Logon scripts can be used to configure MS-DOS[R] and Windows workstation user environments by making network connections and starting applications. User profiles can make workstations easier to use, as well as controlling workstation access to network resources. Server Management and Control The Advanced Server can be managed from either the OpenVMS server or a client workstation, using one of the following server management interfaces: o The Advanced Server ADMINISTER command line interface, which can be accessed from a terminal or terminal emulator. It conforms to standard DCL command syntax. o Windows NT Server administration tools, which are included in the Advanced Server software kit to be installed on Windows NT workstations, Windows 95 workstations, Windows 98 workstations, and Windows for Workgroups workstations. These tools, including Server Manager, User Manager for Domains, and Event Viewer, allow you to administer Advanced Server and Windows NT Server computers from network clients. o Windows NT Server tools, which are available as part of the Windows NT Server. 8 Server management interfaces can be used to: o Manage file and printer shares, user accounts, and groups o Display and control server resources currently in use, such as active sessions, connections, and services. o View context-sensitive online help that provides command syntax, options, and qualifiers for each menu item and command The Advanced Server can be remotely administered from PATHWORKS and Microsoft Windows client workstations. The Advanced Server can also be managed remotely from Windows NT Server, Advanced Server, and PATHWORKS Advanced Server systems. Other Advanced Server tools are provided for management of other aspects of the file server. These tools are to be used for local server management only and include: o The Advanced Server Configuration Manager utility (a character cell interface) to manage the local Advanced Server configuration. o The License Manager (a character cell interface) to manage the License Server. o The Advanced Server Parameter Management utility (PWRK$REGUTL) to manage server configuration parameters. Advanced Server Configuration Manager Utility The Advanced Server Configuration Manager utility is a character cell user interface that allows the user to set up and modify the server's configuration. For example, the user can configure the data cache size, the security model, the number of supported clients, the types of transports, the type of WAN capabilities, and more. Any adjustments that need to be made to the OpenVMS SYSGEN parameters to support the running of the server are automatically performed by the Configuration Manager utility. Integrating with OpenVMS The Advanced Server encompasses many features of the OpenVMS Operating System, including OpenVMS clusters and symmetric multiprocessing. 9 OpenVMS cluster configurations provide failover availability and extensive resource capacities by integrating multiple OpenVMS systems that can be accessed using a single cluster name. The Advanced Server includes support for a transport-independent cluster alias NetBIOS name that allows multiple cluster members to appear as a single server to the connecting clients. This support provides higher availability. The cluster alias name has a load-balancing feature that connects clients to the cluster member that is the least loaded at the time the session is established. The Advanced Server includes a high performance, cluster-wide distributed data cache that provides scalability in a clustered environment. The Advanced Server can run on OpenVMS V7.2 Alpha members of homogeneous or mixed architecture OpenVMS clusters. The Advanced Server supports the use of ODS-2 disk volumes and ODS-5 disk volumes, a feature of OpenVMS V7.2, for share and file access by clients. The new ODS-5 based Enhanced File Specifications provide support for long names. Integrating with External Authentication External authentication is an optional feature that allows OpenVMS systems to authenticate designated OpenVMS users with an Advanced Server or a Windows NT username and password combination. External authentication can be set up for any OpenVMS user, mapped to an Advanced Server user account. External authentication allows users to log on to the OpenVMS Operating System using their Advanced Server usernames and passwords. This feature is useful to OpenVMS system managers who want to provide users with a single username and password combination for both OpenVMS and the Advanced Server logon. For more information about external authentication for OpenVMS, refer to the OpenVMS Operating System Software Product Description (SPD 25.01.xx). Integrating with OpenVMS Security The Advanced Server provides an extension to the Windows NT security model by supporting OpenVMS security enforcement as an optional enhancement. 10 Integrating with OpenVMS Registry The Advanced Server provides network users with access to the OpenVMS Registry. The Advanced Server also stores its own configuration data in the OpenVMS Registry. The server configuration parameters are automatically migrated from the LANMAN.INI file to the OpenVMS Registry, when a PATHWORKS Advanced Server is upgraded to Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS. The Advanced Server provides the PWRK$REGUTL utility for managing server configuration parameters in the OpenVMS Registry. The server parameters in the OpenVMS Registry can also be viewed and managed from a Windows NT-based registry editor. Alerter Service The Advanced Server includes an Alerter Service that sends automatic alert messages to clients and users as specified in the Advanced Server AlertNames parameter setting in the OpenVMS Registry. Event Log Service Event logs provide valuable information about server activities. The administrator can select from several event types and can select, for each, whether successful or unsuccessful attempts at specific operations are to generate event messages. Security event messages are generated based on the audit policy specified for the Advanced Server and for files and directories. Replicator Service Windows NT Servers provide user data replication across domain controllers using the Replicator service. The Replicator service is not provided by Advanced Servers. Therefore, automatic replication of user files and directories on Advanced Servers is not supported. Installation Utilities The Advanced Server is installed on the OpenVMS system using the standard VMSINSTAL procedure. An Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) is also included, which can be used to confirm that the server software has been installed properly. 11 The installation procedure allows you to install the Advanced Server with the integrated license server or just the standalone license server or the external authentication images. PATHWORKS NetWare Server The PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server software has been retired. This product will no longer be supported, and licenses to use this product will no longer be sold. If you are running the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server on the same system with Advanced Server, you must remove the NetWare server software from the system before you install the Advanced Server. YEAR 2000 Readiness This product is capable of accurately processing, providing, and/or receiving date data from, into and between the twentieth and the twenty- first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, including leap year calculations, when used in accordance with the associated product documentation and provided that all hardware, firmware and software used in combination with the product properly exchange accurate date data with the product. License Management The Advanced Server offers license management for Client Access licenses, which can be used in either client-based or server-based mode. (See the Software Licensing section for details.) The license deliverables for the Advanced Server are Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) that are then used with the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF). These PAKs must be loaded into an LMF database, using standard LMF procedures, on an OpenVMS system that is hosting an Advanced Server or an Advanced Server license server. The two types of license management are: o Client-based license management. The Advanced Server provides a facility called Advanced Server license server that acts as a proxy 12 for client systems that require license keys stored in the LMF database on an OpenVMS system. A single copy of the license server software provides and verifies Client Access licenses being used in client-based mode. The Advanced Server License Manager, which must be run on the same node as the license server, provides a user interface that allows the administrator to monitor client-based license usage, to manage license groups, to set alert levels, to set logging levels for licensing events, to enable or disable the license server, and to revoke assigned licenses. The Advanced Server License Manager is also used to preallocate licenses to specific "groups," (including the special, predefined "server-based" group described later). Each LAN needs only one active Advanced Server license server. (The license server provided with the Advanced Server supports Client Access licenses for all supported clients.) The Advanced Server License Registrar, which must be run on the same system as the file server, verifies the licenses for clients requesting access to the server functions. Clients that can produce a valid Client Access license are allowed access to the services offered by the Advanced Server. o Server-based license management. The Advanced Server also allows client access based on the availability of Client Access licenses in the local LMF database being used in server-based mode. If a client requesting access to the server fails to produce a valid client- based license, the Advanced Server License Registrar software checks for the availability of a valid Client Access license being used in server-based mode. If one is available, the client is allowed access. Client Access licenses can be put into server-based mode in one of two ways: - If the Advanced Server license server was not configured for the system where the Advanced Server is executing, then all Client Access licenses loaded into the local LMF database on that system will be used in server-based mode. 13 - If the Advanced Server license server was configured for the system where the Advanced Server is executing, then all Client Access licenses loaded into the local LMF database will, by default, be used in client-based mode. To allow some or all of these licenses to be used in server-based mode, use the Advanced Server License Manager to allocate a portion of those licenses to the special, predefined "server-based" group. Licenses available in the server-based group will then be available for use in server-based mode. Note: The Advanced Server allows you to simultaneously use Client Access licenses in both client-based and server-based mode. However, because clients using Client Access licenses in client-based mode are already licensed to use the server software, they never consume additional Client Access licenses allocated for use in server-based mode. Compatibility The Advanced Server maintains compatibility with LAN Manager client and server software. The Advanced Server also maintains compatibility with PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). A PATHWORKS V5.x for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) server: o Can be upgraded to an Advanced Server.[1] o Can continue running PATHWORKS LAN Manager and act as a Backup Domain Controller, member server, or standalone server in a domain where the Primary Domain Controller is an Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer. ____________________ [1]You can upgrade PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) to PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server), then upgrade PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) to Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS. 14 HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS The following systems, components, and peripherals specified are supported except as noted. Processors Supported All Alpha processors supported by the OpenVMS V7.2 Operating System are also supported by Advanced Server for OpenVMS. Memory Requirements Advanced Server requires a minimum of physical memory for proper installation, configuration, and execution of the software, depending on the processor type: o On Alpha systems, a minimum of 64 MB Note: These memory requirements are a minimum requirement only. Memory requirements can vary widely according to the server CPU, the number of clients using the server and their activities, and the number and speed of the server's disks and the other applications running on the server. For example, a typical configuration supporting a light workload (word processing or spreadsheet applications) for 50 PC users requires an Alpha system with approximately 64 MB of memory. This means that 80% of the system memory and CPU time are dedicated to the Advanced Server, even though some work might use less. Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size=1) Table 1 provides the disk space requirements for the installation and configuration of the Advanced Server. By default, all entries are directed to the same disk, but each can be directed to different disks. You should also plan for additional, significant disk-space requirements for items such as data files, virtual memory section files, and log files - after the product is started and in use. 15 ___________________________________________________________________ Table 1: Installation/Configuration Disk Space Requirements ___________________________________________________________________ Alpha Item Systems ___________________________________________________________________ Images and command files 139,500 blocks PATHWORKS server data files 84,000 blocks ___________________________________________________________________ Total 223,500 blocks ___________________________________________________________________ Note: Sizes are approximate; actual sizes might vary depending on the user's system environment, configuration, and software options. ___________________________________________________________________ OPTIONAL HARDWARE PostScript Printers The Advanced Server supports all PostScript printers supported by DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS V1.7. Refer to SPD 44.15.xx for a complete list of the DIGITAL and non-DIGITAL PostScript printers supported by DCPS. DIGITAL PostScript printers connected by serial lines or DECservers[TM] and printers attached directly to the Ethernet are supported. Network Interface Controllers The Advanced Server supports the following Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring network hardware devices: o For the TCP/IP transport, the Advanced Server supports the network hardware devices supported by the specific TCP/IP product. For DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, refer to SPD 46.46.xx. 16 For other TCP/IP products, contact the vendor. o For the DECnet transport using Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring, see the SPD for the following product: - DECnet-Plus V7.2 for OpenVMS Alpha, SPD 50.45.xx o For the NetBEUI transport, the Advanced Server provides the same level of support for Ethernet and FDDI as the OpenVMS Operating System. For more information, see SPD 25.01.xx. Note: The Advanced Server does not support the DEFZA FDDI controller. CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT The Advanced Server runs on members of OpenVMS clusters. OpenVMS cluster configurations are fully described in the OpenVMS Cluster Software Software Product Description (SPD 29.78.xx) The Advanced Server supports up to 31 server nodes in a cluster. In other words, no more than 31 nodes in a cluster can run Advanced Server concurrently. In a typical scenario, the server is run on only a few central nodes - to exploit the cluster's shared disks and high-speed interconnect environment. In a cluster, the Advanced Server supports simultaneous file access by all nodes running the server. A central event log, central Advanced Server accounts, and share databases are maintained in a cluster. In an Advanced Server domain, the OpenVMS cluster represents a single domain member, whether it is acting as the Primary Domain Controller or as a Backup Domain Controller. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Operating System o OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V7.2 17 For minimum hardware requirements of the operating system, refer to the Software Product Description for the OpenVMS Operating System (SPD 25.01.xx). Network Transport Software The Advanced Server includes NetBEUI network transport software. DECnet or TCP/IP network transport software may also be required by the Advanced Server, depending on the transport used by clients requiring connections to the server, or for use of some features. The following DECnet-Plus product is supported by Advanced Server: o DECnet-Plus V7.2 for OpenVMS Alpha When the Advanced Server is to be used in a TCP/IP environment, OpenVMS- based TCP/IP software is required. This software must be purchased separately. The following TCP/IP transports support the Advanced Server: o DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS V5.0 o Process Software Corporation[TM] MultiNet[R] V4.0, Rev. B o Process Software Corporation TCPWARE[R] for OpenVMS V5.1 PATHWORKS Software The Advanced Server for OpenVMS cannot run on the same system as other PATHWORKS server products; specifically, this includes: o PATHWORKS V5.x for OpenVMS (LAN Manager). The Advanced Server cannot be upgraded from the V5.x server. Running the Advanced Server on a system also running the V5.x server is not possible or supported. You cannot continue to run the PATHWORKS LAN Manager software, once the PATHWORKS Advanced Server software has been installed. The Advanced Server cannot coexist on the same OpenVMS cluster with PATHWORKS V5.x server. o PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). The Advanced Server can be upgraded from the V6.0, V6.0A, or V6.0B server. Running the V6.0, V6.0A, or V6.0B server on a system also running Advanced Server 18 is not possible or supported. You cannot continue to run the PATHWORKS V6.0, V6.0A, or V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) software, once the PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) software has been installed. The Advanced Server cannot coexist on the same OpenVMS cluster with the PATHWORKS V6.0, V6.0A, or V6.0B server. The Advanced Server maintains down-level compatibility with LAN Manager client and server software. LAN Manager users can add an Advanced Server to an existing network and migrate to the new technology at their own pace. A PATHWORKS LAN Manager server can be upgraded to act as a Backup Domain Controller, member server, or standalone server in a network in which the Primary Domain Controller is an Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer. The Advanced Server can be deployed as a Primary Domain Controller in a network comprising other Advanced Servers, Windows NT Servers, PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server), PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers, or LAN Manager for OS/2 Servers. It can also act as a Backup Domain Controller for other Advanced Server, PATHWORKS Advanced Server, or Windows NT Server computers. Client Software The following versions of client software are supported for use with PATHWORKS Advanced Server: o Microsoft Windows NT workstation software V3.5 or V4.0 o Microsoft Windows 95 o Microsoft Windows 98 o Microsoft Windows for Workgroups V3.11 o PATHWORKS 32 V7.1A, SPD 56.33.xx o PATHWORKS V6.0A for DOS and Windows, SPD 55.07.xx 19 GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS The minimum hardware and software requirements for any future version of this product may be different from the requirements for the current version. ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: DIGITAL PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) DESCRIPTION DIGITAL[TM] PATHWORKS[TM] for OpenVMS[TM] (Advanced Server) is an OpenVMS layered application that provides networking functions that are compatible with the Windows NT Server - with additional features.

Like Windows NT Servers, PATHWORKS Advanced Server does not support share-level security and operates in user-level security mode only. o In the Advanced Server and OpenVMS security model, both the OpenVMS and Advanced Server security models are enforced. PATHWORKS Advanced Server security is enhanced with OpenVMS security. Users who require this additional security support can continue to protect their resources based on OpenVMS security. Domain Support PATHWORKS Advanced Server allows the network to be subdivided into domains (administrative groups of servers and clients). Each PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be a member of a single domain. A PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Domain Controller (BDC). Domains are a convenient mechanism for controlling user access to the network and for managing large networks. 24 An Advanced Server for DIGITAL UNIX[R], as well as any Windows NT compatible server, can be part of the same domain as a PATHWORKS for OpenVMS Advanced Server and can be designated as either the Primary Domain Controller or Backup Domain Controller. PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides support for wide area domains using one or both of the following methods: o LMHosts file The presence of the LMHosts file on the PATHWORKS Advanced Server allows NetLogon services and security database replication over wide area TCP/IP configurations. This file contains a list of nodes from geographically dispersed sites synchronized by the Primary Domain Controller and accessible to clients in the server's domain. However, use of the LMHosts file for replication over extreme distances or in networks with slow transmission speeds is not recommended. o WINS (Windows Internet Naming Services) Server Support for WINS Servers allows PATHWORKS Advanced Server to act as a WINS client; that is, to use the name registration and resolution facilities available from a Microsoft WINS Server across routed wide area TCP/IP networks, thus enabling WAN support from WINS for domain functions, NetLogon services, and security database replication. Trust Relationships PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports trusts. Trust relationships can allow users from other domains to access resources in the local domain and/or local domain users to access resources in other domains. NetLogon Services A single domain-wide logon lets a user access resources on any server in a domain or on servers in other domains that trust the domain. The domain capabilities of PATHWORKS Advanced Server make it possible for a user to issue a single logon request to authenticate the user for access to multiple servers in a network. The NetLogon service forces 25 the validation of users' logon requests. The logon server that processes a request checks its copy of the domain-wide user accounts database for the username and password supplied in the logon request. Network Browser Services PATHWORKS Advanced Server can act as a Master Browser in a Windows NT network. TimeSource Services DOS, Windows, and OS/2 clients can request date and time information from the PATHWORKS Advanced Server and set the local workstation date and time to coincide with it. User Environment Management Logon scripts can be used to configure MS-DOS[R] and Windows workstation user environments by making network connections and starting applications. User profiles can make workstations easier to use, as well as controlling workstation access to network resources. Server Management and Control PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be managed from either the OpenVMS server or a client workstation, using one of the following server management interfaces: o PATHWORKS Advanced Server ADMINISTER command line interface, which can be accessed from a terminal or terminal emulator. It conforms to standard DCL command syntax. o Windows NT Server administration tools, which are included in the PATHWORKS Advanced Server software kit to be installed on Windows NT workstations, Windows 95 workstations, Windows 98 workstations, and Windows for Workgroups workstations. These tools, including Server Manager, User Manager for Domains, and Event Viewer, allow you to administer PATHWORKS Advanced Server and Windows NT Server computers from network clients. 26 o Windows NT Server tools, which are available as part of the Windows NT Server. Server management interfaces can be used to: o Manage file and printer shares, user accounts, and groups o Display and control server resources currently in use, such as active sessions, connections, and services. o View context-sensitive online help that provides command syntax, options, and qualifiers for each menu item and command PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be remotely administered from PATHWORKS and Microsoft Windows client workstations. PATHWORKS Advanced Server can also be managed remotely from Windows NT Servers and PATHWORKS Advanced Server systems. Other PATHWORKS Advanced Server tools are provided for management of other aspects of the file server. These tools are to be used for local server management only and include: o PATHWORKS Advanced Server Configuration Manager utility (a character cell interface) to manage the local PATHWORKS Advanced Server configuration. o PATHWORKS License Manager (a character cell interface) to manage the PATHWORKS license server. PATHWORKS Advanced Server Configuration Manager Utility The PATHWORKS Advanced Server Configuration Manager utility is a character cell interface that allows the user to set up and modify the server's configuration. For example, the user can configure the data cache size, the security model, the number of supported clients, the types of transports, the type of WAN capabilities, and more. Any adjustments that need to be made to the OpenVMS SYSGEN parameters to support the running of the server are automatically performed by the Configuration Manager utility. 27 Integrating with OpenVMS PATHWORKS Advanced Server encompasses many features of the OpenVMS Operating System, including OpenVMS clusters and symmetric multiprocessing. OpenVMS cluster configurations provide failover availability and extensive resource capacities by integrating multiple OpenVMS systems that can be accessed using a single cluster name. PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes support for a transport-independent PATHWORKS cluster alias NetBIOS name that allows multiple cluster members to appear as a single server to the connecting clients. This support provides higher availability. The PATHWORKS cluster alias name has a load-balancing feature that connects clients to the cluster member that is the least loaded at the time the session is established. PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes a high performance, cluster-wide distributed data cache that provides scalability in a clustered environment. PATHWORKS Advanced Server can run on both VAX and Alpha members of homogeneous or mixed architecture OpenVMS clusters. PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports the use of ODS-2 disk volumes and ODS-5 disk volumes, a feature of OpenVMS V7.2, for share and file access by clients. However, PATHWORKS Advanced Server V6.0B for OpenVMS does not support the features of ODS-5 devices; instead, it treats the ODS-5 device as an ODS-2 device. Integrating with External Authentication External authentication is an optional feature that allows OpenVMS systems to authenticate designated OpenVMS users with a PATHWORKS or Windows NT username and password combination. External authentication allows users to log on to the OpenVMS Operating System using their PATHWORKS Advanced Server usernames and passwords. This feature is useful to OpenVMS system managers who want to provide users with a single username and password combination for access both OpenVMS login and PATHWORKS Advanced Server network logon. For more information about external authentication for OpenVMS, refer to the OpenVMS Operating System Software Product Description (SPD 25.01.xx). 28 Integrating with OpenVMS Security The Advanced Server provides an extension to the Windows NT security model by supporting OpenVMS security enforcement as an optional enhancement. Alerter Service The Advanced Server includes an Alerter Service that sends automatic alert messages to clients and users as specified in the LANMAN.INI file. Event Log Service Event logs provide valuable information about server activities. The administrator can select from several event types and can select, for each, whether successful or unsuccessful attempts at specific operations are to generate event messages. Security event messages are generated based on the audit policy specified for the PATHWORKS Advanced Server and for files and directories. Replicator Service Windows NT Servers provide user data replication across domain controllers using the Replicator service. The Replicator service is not provided on PATHWORKS Advanced Servers. Therefore, automatic replication of user files and directories on PATHWORKS Advanced Servers is not supported. Installation Utilities PATHWORKS Advanced Server is installed on the OpenVMS system using the standard VMSINSTAL procedure. An Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) is also included, which can be used to confirm that the server software has been installed properly. The installation procedure allows you to install PATHWORKS Advanced Server with the integrated license server or just the standalone license server, the external authentication images, or the Upgrade utility. 29 PATHWORKS NetWare Server The PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server software has been retired. This product will no longer be supported, and licenses to use this product will no longer be sold. If you are running the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server on the same system with PATHWORKS Advanced Server, you must either remove the NetWare server software from the system before you install PATHWORKS Advanced Server. YEAR 2000 Readiness This product is capable of accurately processing, providing, and/or receiving date data from, into and between the twentieth and the twenty- first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, including leap year calculations, when used in accordance with the associated product documentation and provided that all hardware, firmware and software used in combination with the product properly exchange accurate date data with the product. License Management PATHWORKS Advanced Server offers license management for Client Access licenses, which can be used in either client-based or server-based mode. (See the Software Licensing section for details.) The license deliverables for PATHWORKS products are Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) that are then used with the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF). These PAKs must be loaded into an LMF database, using standard LMF procedures, on an OpenVMS system that is hosting a PATHWORKS Advanced Server or a PATHWORKS license server. The two types of license management are: o Client-based license management. PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides a facility called PATHWORKS License Server that acts as a proxy for client systems that require license keys stored in the LMF database on an OpenVMS system. 30 A single copy of the PATHWORKS license server software provides and verifies Client Access licenses being used in client-based mode by clients running LAN Manager protocols. The PATHWORKS License Manager, which must be run on the same node as the license server, provides a user interface that allows the administrator to monitor client-based license usage, to manage license groups, to set alert levels, to set logging levels for licensing events, to enable or disable the license server, and to revoke assigned licenses. The PATHWORKS License Manager is also used to preallocate licenses to specific "groups" (including the special, predefined "server-based" group described later). Each LAN needs only one active PATHWORKS license server. (The License Server provided with PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports Client Access licenses for all supported clients.) The PATHWORKS License Registrar, which must be run on the same sys- tem as the file server, verifies the licenses for clients requesting access to the server functions. Clients that can produce a valid Client Access license are allowed access to the services offered by the PATH- WORKS Advanced Server. o Server-based license management. PATHWORKS Advanced Server also al- lows client access based on the availability of Client Access li- censes in the local LMF database being used in server-based mode. If a client requesting access to the server fails to produce a valid client-based license, the PATHWORKS License Registrar software checks for the availability of a valid Client Access license being used in server-based mode. If one is available, the client is allowed access. Client Access licenses can be put into server-based mode in one of two ways: - If the PATHWORKS license server was not configured for the system where PATHWORKS Advanced Server is executing, then all Client Access licenses loaded into the local LMF database on that system will be used in server-based mode. 31 - If the PATHWORKS license server was configured for the system where PATHWORKS Advanced Server is executing, then all Client Access licenses loaded into the local LMF database will, by default, be used in client-based mode. To allow some or all of these licenses to be used in server-based mode, use the PATHWORKS License Manager to allocate a portion of those licenses to the special, predefined "server-based" group. Licenses available in the server-based group will then be available for use in server-based mode. Note: PATHWORKS Advanced Server allows you to simultaneously use Client Access licenses in both client-based and server-based mode. However, because clients using Client Access licenses in client-based mode are already licensed to use the server software, they never consume additional Client Access licenses allocated for use in server-based mode. Accommodation of Retired Features The following features of PATHWORKS V5.x for OpenVMS are not provided in PATHWORKS V6.0 for OpenVMS: o Standalone and member server roles. PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be configured as a Primary or Backup Domain Controller. o FAT volumes. To continue to provide FAT volume access to clients, you must maintain the PATHWORKS LAN Manager server on a separate system. Files held within shares on a FAT volume must be migrated to PATHWORKS LAN Manager shares before you upgrade to PATHWORKS Advanced Server. o Backward compatibility mode. This mode is used to ease the migration from PATHWORKS V4.x to PATHWORKS LAN Manager. Make sure all clients making use of this connection format are upgraded before the installation of PATHWORKS Advanced Server. o Remote Boot service. If clients depend on remote booting, you must maintain the PATHWORKS LAN Manager server on a separate system. Transfer this function to another server that supports Remote Boot service before the upgrade. 32 o Share-level security. PATHWORKS Advanced Server manages access to all resources through user-level security. o LAN Manager and creator security mode. The server can be configured for PATHWORKS Advanced Server Only security model or for PATHWORKS Advanced Server and OpenVMS security model. o PATHWORKS LAN Manager Net command line interface and ADMINISTER/PATHWORKS character cell interface. These features were replaced by the PATHWORKS Advanced Server ADMINISTER command line interface. The ADMINISTER command line interface provides automatic translation of a subset of Net commands that have ADMINISTER command equivalents. Compatibility PATHWORKS Advanced Server maintains compatibility with LAN Manager client and server software. A PATHWORKS V5.x for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) server: o Can be upgraded to a PATHWORKS Advanced Server o Can continue running PATHWORKS LAN Manager and act as a Backup Domain Controller, member server, or standalone server in a domain where the Primary Domain Controller is a PATHWORKS Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer. HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS The following systems, components, and peripherals specified are supported except as noted. Processors Supported All VAX and Alpha processors supported by the OpenVMS V7.1 and OpenVMS V7.2 Operating Systems are also supported by PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server), except for the following: 33 GPX II MicroVAX: MicroVAX I, MicroVAX II, MicroVAX 2000, MicroVAX 3100 Model 40 and lower VAX: VAX-11/725, VAX-11/730, VAX 11/750, VAX 11/780, VAX 11/782, VAX 11/785 VAXstation: VAXstation I, VAXstation II, VAXstation 2000, VAXsta- tion 4000 VLC, VAXstation 8000 Memory Requirements PATHWORKS Advanced Server requires a minimum of physical memory for proper installation, configuration, and execution of the software, depending on the processor type: o On Alpha systems, a minimum of 64 MB o On VAX systems, a minimum of 64 MB Note: These memory requirements are a minimum requirement only. Memory requirements can vary widely according to the server CPU, the number of clients using the server and their activities, and the number and speed of the server's disks and the other applications running on the server. For example, a typical configuration supporting a light workload (word processing or spreadsheet applications) for 50 PC users requires an Alpha system with approximately 64 MB of memory. This means that 80% of the system memory and CPU time are dedicated to PATHWORKS Advanced Server, even though some work might use less. Disk Space Requirements (Block Cluster Size=1) Table 2 provides the disk space requirements for the installation and configuration of PATHWORKS Advanced Server. By default, all entries are directed to the same disk, but each can be directed to different disks. 34 You should also plan for additional, significant disk-space requirements for items such as data files, virtual memory section files, and log files - after the product is started and in use. ___________________________________________________________________ Table 2: Installation/Configuration Disk Space Requirements ___________________________________________________________________ Alpha Item Systems VAX Systems ___________________________________________________________________ Images and command files 152,500 130,500 blocks blocks PATHWORKS server data files 77,500 77,500 blocks blocks ___________________________________________________________________ Total 226,000 208,000 blocks blocks ___________________________________________________________________ Note: Sizes are approximate; actual sizes might vary depending on the user's system environment, configuration, and software options. ___________________________________________________________________ OPTIONAL HARDWARE PostScript Printers PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports all PostScript printers supported by DECprint Supervisor (DCPS) for OpenVMS V1.6. Refer to SPD 44.15.xx for a complete list of the DIGITAL and non-DIGITAL PostScript printers supported by DCPS. DIGITAL PostScript printers connected by serial lines or DECservers[TM] and printers attached directly to the Ethernet are supported. 35 Non-PostScript Printers PATHWORKS Advanced Server also supports the following non-PostScript printers: DIGITAL LA75 Companion EPSON[R] FX850 Printer DIGITAL LA210 EPSON FX1050 DIGITAL LA324[TM] IBM ProPrinter DIGITAL LJ250 Companion NEC SilentWriter[R] II Model 290 Color Printer DIGITAL LN03[TM] PLUS Network Interface Controllers PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports the following Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring network hardware devices: o For the TCP/IP transport, PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports the network hardware devices supported by the specific TCP/IP product. For DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, refer to SPD 46.46.xx. For other TCP/IP products, contact the vendor. o For the DECnet transport using Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring, see the SPDs for the following products: - DECnet-Plus V7.2 for OpenVMS Alpha, SPD 50.45.xx - DECnet-Plus V7.2 for OpenVMS VAX, SPD 25.03.xx - DECnet for OpenVMS VAX and Alpha V7.2, SPD 48.48.xx o For the NetBEUI transport, PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides the same level of support for Ethernet and FDDI as the OpenVMS Operating System. For more information, see SPD 25.01.xx. Note: PATHWORKS Advanced Server does not support the DEFZA FDDI controller. 36 CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT PATHWORKS Advanced Server runs on members of OpenVMS clusters. OpenVMS cluster configurations are fully described in the OpenVMS Clus- ter Software Software Product Description (SPD 29.78.xx) PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports up to 31 server nodes in a cluster. In other words, no more than 31 nodes in a cluster can run PATHWORKS Advanced Server concurrently. In a typical scenario, the server is run on only a few central nodes - to exploit the cluster's shared disks and high-speed interconnect environment. In a cluster, PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports simultaneous file access by all nodes running the server. A central event log, central Advanced Server accounts, and share databases are maintained in a cluster. In a PATHWORKS Advanced Server domain, the OpenVMS cluster represents a single domain member, whether it is acting as the Primary Domain Controller or as a Backup Domain Controller. SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS Operating System o OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V7.1 and V7.2 o OpenVMS VAX Operating System V7.1 and V7.2 For minimum hardware requirements of the operating system, refer to the Software Product Description for the OpenVMS Operating System (SPD 25.01.xx). Network Transport Software PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes NetBEUI network transport software. DECnet or TCP/IP network transport software may also be required by PATHWORKS for OpenVMS, depending on the transport used by clients requiring connections to the server, or for use of some features. 37 The following DECnet and DECnet-Plus products are supported by PATHWORKS Advanced Server: o DECnet-Plus V7.1 for OpenVMS Alpha o DECnet-Plus V7.2 for OpenVMS Alpha o DECnet-Plus V7.1 for OpenVMS VAX o DECnet-Plus V7.2 for OpenVMS VAX o DECnet for OpenVMS VAX and Alpha V7.1 When PATHWORKS Advanced Server is to be used in a TCP/IP environment, OpenVMS-based TCP/IP software is required. This software must be purchased separately. The following TCP/IP transports support PATHWORKS Advanced Server: o DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS V4.1 and V4.2 for OpenVMS V7.1 and V5.0 for OpenVMS V7.1 and V7.2 o Process Software Corporation[TM] MultiNet[R] V4.0, Rev. B o Process Software Corporation TCPWARE[R] for OpenVMS V5.1 Other PATHWORKS Server Software The following PATHWORKS server products cannot run on the same system as PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server): o PATHWORKS V5.x for OpenVMS (LAN Manager). PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) can be upgraded from the V5.x server. Running the V6.0B server on a system also running the V5.x server is not possible or supported. You cannot continue to run the PATHWORKS LAN Manager software, once the PATHWORKS Advanced Server software has been installed. PATHWORKS Advanced Server cannot coexist on the same OpenVMS cluster with PATHWORKS V5.x server. o PATHWORKS V6.0A for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) can be upgraded from the V6.0 or V6.0A server. Running the V6.0 or V6.0A server on a system also running the V6.0B server is not possible or supported. You cannot continue to run the PATHWORKS V6.0 or V6.0A for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) 38 software, once the PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) software has been installed. PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) cannot coexist on the same OpenVMS cluster with the PATHWORKS V6.0 or V6.0A server. PATHWORKS Advanced Server maintains down-level compatibility with LAN Manager client and server software. LAN Manager users can add a PATHWORKS Advanced Server to an existing network and migrate to the new technology at their own pace. A PATHWORKS LAN Manager server can be upgraded to PATHWORKS Advanced Server technology or act as a Backup Domain Controller, member server, or standalone server in a network in which the Primary Domain Controller is a PATHWORKS Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer. PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be deployed as a Primary Domain Controller in a network comprising other PATHWORKS Advanced Servers, Windows NT Servers, PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers, or LAN Manager for OS/2 Servers. It can also act as a Backup Domain Controller for other PATHWORKS Advanced Server or Windows NT Server computers. Client Software The following versions of client software are supported for use with PATHWORKS Advanced Server: o Microsoft Windows NT workstation software V3.5 or V4.0 o Microsoft Windows 95 o Microsoft Windows 98 o Microsoft Windows for Workgroups V3.11 o PATHWORKS 32 V7.1A, SPD 56.33.xx o PATHWORKS V6.0A for DOS and Windows, SPD 55.07.xx 39 GROWTH CONSIDERATIONS The minimum hardware and software requirements for any future version of this product may be different from the requirements for the current version. ___________________________________________________________________ LICENSING AND ORDERING INFORMATION: Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS and PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) SOFTWARE LICENSING Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS[2] is purchased by licensing the clients or applications that use the services provided by the product. There is no additional fee. The license required for clients to use Advanced Server file and print services[3] is referred to as a Client Access license (PAK Product Name: PWLMXXXCA06.00 for V6.0B or PWLMXXXCA07.02 for either V6.0B or V7.2). Though there is only one license sold for any client using this Advanced Server, this license can be used in one of two ways: o Client-based mode (also known as per-seat mode) o Server-based mode (also known as per-server or concurrent use mode) ____________________ [2]PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) is licensed for use in exactly the same way as Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). Though previously purchased licenses continue to be valid for use with pre-V6 servers, only the new Client Access licenses may be purchased when adding new clients to existing systems. In particular, all the licenses listed in Table 4, Previous Version Licenses Qualifying for Upgrade Licenses, are no longer sold but continue to be valid and grant the right to use the PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) software. [3]COM for OpenVMS users will not require a license to use the Advanced Server. Only clients using the file and print servers will require a license. 40 These two different licensing modes are described in the following text. o Client-Based Licensing Mode. When a license for Advanced Server is used in client-based licensing mode, the right to use the server is assigned electronically to a particular client or seat. Once the right is assigned, the client system can access all systems running Advanced Server as well as all systems running any previous version of the file and print server. [4] This mode of licensing Advanced Server is normally used when a customer has more than one server and where clients normally access more than one server at the same time. Because only one license per client is required regardless of how many servers are being accessed, the client- based licensing mode can be more economical in these situations when compared to server-based mode (described later). Because a client with a client-based license cannot be refused access to a server due to license limits, this mode of licensing is also useful when you need to guarantee that a particular system will always have access to one or more servers. Note: To use this licensing mode, a small licensing agent must be loaded and enabled on each licensed client. The code for this licensing agent is distributed with the Advanced Server, is available free on the Web, and is also available on CD-ROM at a nominal fee. o Server-based licensing mode. When a license for Advanced Server [5] is used in server-based licensing mode, any client can then access the server and make as many connections to file services and print shares as needed. ____________________ [4]The PAK associated with the Client Access license will work, in client- based mode, only with PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers that have been upgraded to a minimum of V5.0F. Prior revisions of this product will not recognize or use this PAK. [5]The PAK associated with the Client Access license will work, in server- based mode, only with PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers that have been upgraded to a minimum of V5.0F. Prior revisions of this product will not recognize or use this PAK in this mode. 41 The Advanced Server will allow up to "n" clients to access its services concurrently, where "n" is the total number of licenses being used in server-based licensing mode. The server will not allow the "n+1st" client to access its services, until one of the first "n" clients has disconnected from the server. Note: Though a server may have only "n" licenses available, any number of clients can potentially access that server. The restriction is based only on the total number of clients that may connect to the server at one time. For example, if you have 100 licenses assigned to an Advanced Server in server-based licensing mode, then any 100 clients can make use of all services offered by the Advanced Server at one time. However, if an additional client (the 101st) attempts to connect to the server, the client will be denied access until one of the connected clients disconnects from all services. Server-based licensing works best in situations where all clients use or access only one server and there are enough licenses available on each system for all clients to access their assigned server. A "system" is defined as either a standalone system or a cluster.[6] Note: Customers can choose which mode to use or to use a combination of both modes. They can change the licensing mode, as their situation dictates, without contacting or notifying Compaq[R]. ____________________ [6]When using server-based licenses for access to file and print services in an OpenVMS cluster environment, Compaq recommends that clients connect to the cluster using the Advanced Server cluster alias, if this option is available. Clients connecting using the alias consume one server-based license. Clients connecting directly to specific cluster members consume one server-based license for each connection to a different cluster member. A client can map multiple drives and printers from a single server while consuming a single server-based license. 42 Note also that any portion of multiple licenses delivered in a single PAK can be used in server-based mode, while the remainder can be used in client-based mode. Because a PAK can be legally loaded on only one system, it is only the system where the PAK is loaded that can use the licenses in server-based mode.[7] For complete terms and conditions related to Client Access licenses, refer to the back of your PAK for these licenses, or consult the Software Licensing Web site at: http://www.digital.com/info/software-licensing ORDERING INFORMATION General Information Unless otherwise noted, licenses related to each part number will be delivered in a single PAK. Because each PAK can be loaded on only one system, it is important to order your licenses in a manner that best fits your needs. New or Additional Licenses For new or additional users of Advanced Server software, use the part numbers in Table 3 to purchase the number of Client Access licenses required. When ordering, note that licenses related to each part number will be delivered in a single PAK and any one PAK can be loaded on only one system ____________________ [7]PAKs must be loaded into a cluster-wide, available LMF database. 43 ___________________________________________________________________ Table 3: New License Part Numbers ___________________________________________________________________ Part Number Number of Licenses per PAK ___________________________________________________________________ QM-5SUAA-AB 1 QM-5SUAA-AC 10 QM-5SUAA-AD 25 QM-5SUAA-AE 50 QM-5SUAA-AF 100 QM-5SUAA-AG 250 QM-5SUAA-AH 500 QM-5SUAA-AJ 1000 ___________________________________________________________________ Upgrade Licenses Customers with licenses for previous versions of the file and print server supporting the LAN Manager protocol are eligible to purchase Upgrade licenses to Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS. Combined with your original license, the Advanced Server Upgrade license provides the right to use Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS and PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS.
