Installing Reliable Transaction Router Version 3.1B for OpenVMS 2-7 3 _________________________________________________________________ Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3.1 Checking the Software Distribution Kit RTR software is distributed on CD-ROM as part Digital's Layered Products Consolidated Distribution. Use the Bill of Materials (BOM) to check the contents of your RTR software distribution kit. In addition to this guide, the software distribution kit includes the following: o A CD-ROM optical disk for systems with optical disk drives o A CD-ROM booklet and CD-ROM read first letter If your software distribution kit is damaged or incomplete, contact your Digital representative. 3.2 Reading the Online Release Notes RTR provides online release notes. Digital strongly recommends that you read the release notes before using the product. The release notes may contain information about changes to the application. The release notes for RTR are in the following file: rtr31x_relnotes.txt Where "x" is a digit representing a revision level. You can use the following command to read the release notes. more rtr31x_relnotes.txt Where "x" is a digit representing a revision level. Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3-1 Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3.3 Registering Your Software License 3.3 Registering Your Software License RTR includes support for the License Management Facility (LMF). You must register your License Product Authorization Key (License PAK) in the License Database (LDB) in order to use RTR on a newly licensed node. The License PAK may be shipped along with the kit if you ordered the license and media together; otherwise, it is shipped separately to a location based on your license order. If you are installing RTR as an update on a node already licensed for this software, you have already completed the License PAK registration requirements. If you are installing prerequisite or optional software along with RTR, review the PAK status and install the PAKs for any prerequisite or optional software before you install RTR. To register a license under the Digital UNIX operating system, first log in as superuser. At the superuser prompt, edit an empty PAK template with the lmf register command as follows, and include all the information on your License PAK: # lmf register After you register your license, use the following lmf reset command to copy the license details from the License Database (LDB) to the kernel cache: # lmf reset For complete information on using the License Management Facility, see the Guide to Software License Management and the lmf(8) reference page. 3.4 Checking Installation Procedure Requirements This section discusses various requirements for installing RTR. Installing RTR, including running the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP), takes approximately 10 to 15 minutes, depending on your type of media and system configuration. 3-2 Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3.4 Checking Installation Procedure Requirements 3.4.1 Checking Login Privileges You must have superuser privileges to install the RTR software and to register the license PAK. 3.4.2 Checking Hardware Requirements To install RTR, you need the following hardware: o Software distribution device (if installing from media) Locate the CD-ROM drive for the CD-ROM software distribution media. The CD booklet or the documentation for the CD-ROM drive you are using explains how to load the CD-ROM media. o Terminal You can use either a hardcopy or video terminal to communicate with the operating system and respond to prompts from the installation procedure. See the RTR Software Product Description (SPD) for additional hardware requirements. 3.4.3 Checking Software Requirements RTR requires the Digital UNIX operating system Version 3.0 or 3.2. Future RTR releases may require higher versions. See the Cover Letter (included on the CD-ROM) or the online release notes for information about the minimum version of the operating system required. RTR also requires that the following Digital UNIX software subset be loaded on the system where you install RTR: o OSFBASE-the "Base System" subset The following Digital UNIX software subset are optional on the system where you install RTR: o OSFCLINET200-Basic Networking Services (TCP/IP) subset o DNABASE110-DECnet/OSI Base Components subset, together with o DNANETMAN110-DECnet/OSI Network Management subset To check whether these subsets are loaded, follow these steps: 1. Log in to the system where you will install RTR. Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3-3 Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3.4 Checking Installation Procedure Requirements 2. Enter the following command: # setld -i | egrep 'OSFBASE|DNA' If you do not log in as superuser (login name root), you must enter the full path of the command. For example: % /usr/sbin/setld -i | grep OSFBASE Check the displayed rows for the name of the relevant subset and any related patches. The word "installed" appears in a row after the subset identifier when a subset is loaded. If the word "installed" does not appear (the second column in a row is blank), the subset or patch is not loaded. In this case, you must load the missing Digital UNIX software before installing RTR. (For information on how to load the operating system software, see the Guide to Installing Digital UNIX.) 3.4.4 Determining Which Subsets to Load RTR has only one subset:- o RTRBASE312 RTR runtime and system management. 3.4.5 Determining Disk Space Requirements Table 3-1 lists the disk space requirements for loading the RTR software subset. These requirements apply to the disks where you load the RTR subset. The requirements are listed by directory for convenience if you are doing installations on systems where these directories are mount points for different disk partitions. Table_3-1_RTR_Subset_Size_(Kilobytes_Required)_____________ Subset Subset_Title_______________Name________/usr/opt____________ RTR RTRBASE312 12500 Total:_________________________________7500________________ Compare the space required for the subset with the free space currently on the disks where RTR files will reside. 3-4 Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3.4 Checking Installation Procedure Requirements 3.4.5.1 Checking Current Disk Space To check the current amount of free space for a directory path, log in to the system where you will install RTR. You can check which directories are mounted and where they are by viewing the /etc/fstab file. For example: # more /etc/fstab /dev/rd0a:/:rw:1:1:ufs:: /dev/rd0g:/usr:rw:1:2:ufs:: /usr/staff/r1/leslie@bigsys:/usr/staff/r1/leslie:rw:0:0:nfs:bg: /usr/man@bigsys:/usr/man:ro:0:0:nfs:bg: The display indicates that /usr (mounted to /dev/rd0g) is the only mount point that affects where RTR files will reside; the system has only one local disk drive, and the /usr/lib and file system resides in the g partition of the disk on that drive. To check the total space and the free space for the directories where RTR will reside, enter the df command. Given the previous display of the /etc/fstab file, which shows that only /usr is a mount point, you need to check free space only in the /usr file system. For example: # df /usr Filesystem Total kbytes kbytes % node kbytes used free used Mounted on /dev/rd0g 122598 54447 55892 49% /usr This display shows that there are 55,892 Kbytes free. This free space must accommodate the subset requirements listed in Table 3-1. On systems where /usr/lib and /usr/man are mounted to different devices from /usr, enter the following command: # df /usr/lib /usr/man In this case, you compare space required for RTR files in /usr/lib to the free space displayed in the first line of the df output list, and compare the space required for RTR files in /usr/man to the free space displayed in the second line of that list. Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3-5 Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3.4 Checking Installation Procedure Requirements 3.4.5.2 Increasing Disk Space by Using Alternative Disks The RTR installation procedure creates the following directory and loads files into subordinate directories: /usr/opt/RTR312 If the /usr/opt/RTR312 directory node in the previous path does not exist, the installation procedure creates it. If the RTR312 node does exist, the installation procedure uses it. If you find that there is insufficient disk space for the RTR subsets and you know that you have additional space on alternative disks or disk partitions for your system, perform the following steps before installing RTR: 1. Log in as superuser. 2. Create the directory /usr/lib/RTR312. 3. Specify in the /etc/fstab file that one or more of the newly created directories are mount points to new disk partitions where there is additional space. 4. Enter the mount -a command so that the new mount points take effect. 3.5 Installing from Media or Using RIS Someone from your site must perform at least one RTR installation from the distribution medium. Your site system manager can then decide whether or not to make a RTR distribution kit available online so that subsequent installations of RTR can use the Remote Installation Service (RIS). For information on extracting RTR subsets to a RIS distribution area, see the Guide to Sharing Software on a Local Area Network. If you expect to use RTR subsets from the RIS area of a remote system for installation on your local system, first check with your site system manager to ensure that: o A RTR network kit is available for use. o Your system is registered as a RIS client. If RTR subsets are available to you on a RIS server system, you must know the name of that system. 3-6 Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3.5 Installing from Media or Using RIS For more information on installing RTR from a RIS distribution area, see Section 4.2. 3.6 Backing Up Your System Disk Digital recommends that you back up your system disk before installing any software. For information about backing up your system disk, see the DEC OSF/1 AXP system documentation. 3.7 Stopping the Installation To stop the installation procedure at any time, press Ctrl /C. You must then delete files created up to this point interactively. The directories and files created during the RTR installation are listed in the following file (on your CD-ROM): /RTR312/kit/instctrl/RTRBASE312.inv Preparing for RTR Installation on Digital UNIX 3-7 4 _________________________________________________________________ Installing RTR on Digital UNIX This chapter describes how to install RTR on Digital UNIX. Before you start the installation, read Chapter 3. You can install RTR locally (using CD-ROM media) or from a server area. If you encounter any failures during installation, see Appendix B. 4.1 Using CD-ROM Consolidated Distribution Media This procedure loads RTR files on to a disk belonging to the system where you perform the installation. When RTR is run, its executable images are mapped into memory on your system. Follow these steps to install RTR from CD-ROM media: 1. Mount the media on the appropriate disk drive. 2. Log in as superuser (login name root) to the system where you will install RTR. 3. Make sure you are at the root (/) directory by entering the following command: # cd / 4. Specify the /cdrom directory to be the mount point for the distribution file system on the drive. If your drive is rz0, enter the following command: # mount -dr /dev/rz0c /cdrom 5. Enter a setld command that requests the load function (-l) and identifies the directory in the mounted file system where RTR subsets are located. Installing RTR on Digital UNIX 4-1 Installing RTR on Digital UNIX 4.1 Using CD-ROM Consolidated Distribution Media For example, if the directory location for these subsets is /cdrom/AXP/RTR312/bin, enter the following command: # setld -l /cdrom/rtr312/kit The installation procedure now displays the names of RTR subsets and asks you to specify the subsets you want to load. See Section 4.3 to continue the installation. 4.2 Using a RIS Distribution Area If you are installing RTR subsets that reside in an /etc /ris RIS distribution area on a remote system, follow these steps: 1. Log in as superuser (login name root) to the system where you will install RTR. 2. Make sure you are at the root directory (/) by entering the following command: #cd / 3. Enter a setld command that requests the load function (-l option) and identifies the system where the RTR subsets are located. For example, if you are loading RTR subsets from a RIS distribution area on node orion, enter the following: #setld -l orion: Remote Installation Services now displays a menu that lists all the software subsets available to you and asks you to specify the subsets you want to load. See Section 4.3 to continue the installation. 4.3 Responding to Installation Procedure Prompts This section explains the installation procedure prompts and displays. 4-2 Installing RTR on Digital UNIX Installing RTR on Digital UNIX 4.3 Responding to Installation Procedure Prompts 4.3.1 Selecting Subsets You must specify which RTR subsets you want to load. ________________________ Note ________________________ If you are installing from a RIS distribution area, the number of subsets can vary depending on what products are available in the RIS area and how many subsets they have. ______________________________________________________ *** Enter subset selections *** The following subsets are mandatory and will be installed automatically unless you choose to exit without installing any subsets: * RTR API & Management Utility You may choose one of the following options: 1) ALL of the above 2) CANCEL selections and redisplay menus 3) EXIT without installing any subsets Enter your choices or press RETURN to redisplay menus. Choices (for example, 1 2 4-6): If you specify more than one number at the prompt, separate each number with a space, not a comma. Next, the script lets you verify your choice. For example, if you enter 1 in response to the previous prompt, you will see the following display: You are installing the following mandatory subsets: RTR API & Management Utility You are installing the following optional subsets: Is this correct? (y/n): If the displayed subsets are not the ones you intended to choose, enter n. In this case, the subset selection menu is again displayed and you can correct your choice of optional subsets. If the displayed subsets are the ones you want to load, enter y. Installing RTR on Digital UNIX 4-3 Installing RTR on Digital UNIX 4.3 Responding to Installation Procedure Prompts 4.3.2 Monitoring Displays During the Subset Loading Process The installation procedure loads and verifies the selected RTR subset. The following example shows a display where the RTR subset is being loaded from CD-ROM: Reliable Transaction Router V3.1B for Digital UNIX Installation started at Fri May 10 1996 Feb 22 17:21:41 MET 1996.

When you see the "Verifying" message during the subset installation, the installation procedure is checking to see that the files are copied correctly; it is not an Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) message. During the installation, if you get errors from the setld utility, see the Diagnostics section of the setld(8) reference page for an explanation of the errors and the appropriate actions to take. Chapter 5 explains how to run the IVP after installation, and how to delete old Reliable Transaction Router subsets before installing a new version of RTR. 4-4 Installing RTR on Digital UNIX 5 _________________________________________________________________ After Installation on Digital UNIX This chapter explains what you need to do after the installation on Digital UNIX to make RTR ready for use. 5.1 Running the Installation Verification Procedure After installing RTR, you can run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) independently to verify that the software is available on your system. You might also want to run the IVP after a system failure to be sure that users can access RTR. The RTR IVP verifies the installation as follows: o Starts RTR and creates a facility o Creates an RTR journal o Creates an RTR facility o Stops RTR o Compiles and links the example client and server programs To run the IVP after an installation, enter the following command: # setld -v RTRBASE312 For a sample RTR IVP, see Appendix A. If the verification process fails, look in the /var/adm /smlogs/fverify.log file for information to help diagnose the problem. After Installation on Digital UNIX 5-1 After Installation on Digital UNIX 5.2 Deleting RTR from Your System 5.2 Deleting RTR from Your System If you must remove a version of Reliable Transaction Router, Version 3.1B from your system, delete each subset that you previously installed. To delete subsets: 1. Log in as superuser (login name root). 2. Make sure you are at the root directory (/) by entering the following command: # cd / 3. Enter the following form of the setld command: # setld -i | grep RTRBASE 4. Look for the word "installed" in the listing produced, and then delete the installed subsets. For example: # setld -d RTRBASE312 5.3 Displaying Documentation from CD-ROM The Reliable Transaction Router, Version 3.1B documentation is provided on the Digital UNIX Layered Products Online Documentation CD-ROM in Bookreader (.decw_book) file format. You can display the Bookreader files on your workstation using the DECwindows Bookreader application. For information on accessing and displaying these files, see the Digital UNIX Layered Products Disc User's Guide. 5.4 Enabling Remote RTR Commands RTR supports the use of remote commands (described in Chapter 1 of the Reliable Transaction Router Version 3.1B, System Manager's Manual). In order to use this feature on Digital UNIX, you need to create an .rhosts file in the home directory of the RTR user on the target node or nodes. This file must contain the hostname (and, optionally, the username) of the node where the remote commands will be issued. For more information on the .rhosts file, see the rhosts(4) reference page. 5-2 After Installation on Digital UNIX A _________________________________________________________________ Sample Listings This appendix provides sample listings for the following procedures: o An installation of RTR on Digital UNIX using disk media. o An Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) for RTR on Digital UNIX. o An installation of RTR on SunOS using disk media.
