Storage Library System for OpenVMS (SLS) is a layered software product that provides support for saving copies of data and restoring those copies as necessary. _______________________ Warning _______________________ Due to changes in functionality and database structure, SLS software versions 2.5B and later are incompatible with SLS software version 2.4A and earlier. If you are an existing SLS customer, and upgrade SLS on your server node to version 2.5 or higher, then you must also upgrade each of your client nodes to version 2.5 or higher. This requirement results from a change in the format of the common magazine database in SLS software version V2.5B. ______________________________________________________ Storage administrators face three primary storage management problems that SLS software helps to solve: o Ensuring data is available in the event of a disaster o Maintaining data in some form for regulatory and legal purposes o Providing sufficient online storage space to meet users' needs Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1-1 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1.1 What is SLS? 1.1.1 SLS Product Functions SLS allows you to do the following things: o Backup (save copies of) data files on an as-needed basis o Backup groups of files or entire disks on a scheduled basis for maintenance purposes o Restore previously-saved files or disks after a disaster occurs o Move data from online storage to offsite storage (archive) when files no longer need to be available for frequent use o Generate reports about saved data 1.1.2 SLS Product Features Backup and Restore Features SLS provides the following backup and restore features: o Automatic, flexible scheduling for backup operations o Support through the Remote Device Facility (RDF) for remote backup and archiving operations between devices located on different systems within a DECnet network, provided all are running SLS o Online catalog containing information about backed up data o Ability to restore data through the catalog without the user having to search for where the data is stored o Integration with RMU/BACKUP and RMU/RESTORE for backing up and restoring Oracle Rdb databases o DCL commands and menu interfaces o Customization features to meet a variety of site- specific and operational storage needs o Support for user-initiated as well as system-initiated backup operations 1-2 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1.1 What is SLS? Media and Device Management Features SLS provides the following media and device management features: o Volume database containing information about volumes that SLS can use o Magazine database relating individual volumes to multi- volume magazines and magazine-loader jukebox devices o Media life cycle control, including maintenance of volume retention periods, availability status, location, and scheduling of dates for volumes to move offsite and return o Volume counters noting the number of times the volume has been mounted and the number of errors associated with the volume; these counters are used to schedule volume cleaning o Volume access control based on user-defined volume pools o Media and device configurations using TAPESTART.COM to define devices available for use and the media they support o Support for a variety of media and devices, ranging from single-drive TK50 devices to robotically-controlled StorageTek silos and automated tape library systems Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1-3 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1.1 What is SLS? 1.1.3 SLS Device Support SLS supports a large array of storage devices, ranging from single-tape drives to automated optical and tape jukeboxes. See the SLS SPD for a complete list of supported devices. 1.2 Mixed Architecture Environments _ Before You Install your Storage Management Software _ If you are planning to install SLS software in a mixed architecture OpenVMS Cluster, you should understand the configuration issues explained in this section. If you do not consider these configuration issues, you could spend considerable time deleting and editing files, and reinstalling the software. ______________________________________________________ This section addresses the characteristics of a mixed architecture environment and describes some fundamental approaches to installing and configuring your software to run in it. The following list identifies the topics and their purposes o Section 1.2.1 defines the mixed architecture environment and discusses ways in which they can come about, change, then disappear. Each of these occurrences requires some consideration about how to configure your software. o Section 1.2.2 lists the guiding principles that require you to make special considerations for mixed architecture implementation, and what these principles mean to you. o Section 1.2.3 describes three possible approaches to implementing a mixed architecture environment. o Section 1.2.4 explains why the documentation includes procedures for a specific approach. If you cannot use the documented procedures, you should decide on an approach before you begin installation. 1-4 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1.2 Mixed Architecture Environments 1.2.1 Mixed Architecture Environments A mixed architecture OpenVMS Cluster includes at least one VAX system and at least one Alpha system. Creating_a_Mixed_Architecture_Configuration: If you add an Alpha system to a homogenous VAX OpenVMS Cluster, or if you are currently running a homogenous Alpha OpenVMS Cluster and inherit a VAX system, you will have a mixed architecture environment. Before you integrate the Alpha or VAX node into the system, you should decide an approach to take for handling mixed architecture issues. Operating_a_Mixed_Architecture_Configuration: If you are currently operating a mixed architecture environment, and you want to add a VAX system or an Alpha system you must integrate it into your current configuration consistently with your other applications. You should understand the particular requirements of any new application you introduce into a mixed architecture OpenVMS Cluster. Dissolving_a_Mixed_Architecture_Configuration: If you remove the last VAX or Alpha system, leaving a homogenous OpenVMS Cluster, you should remove any aspects of configuration that accounted for the heterogenous nature of the mixed architecture system. This includes (but is not limited to) removing startup files, duplicate directory structures, and logical tables. 1.2.2 Principles Guiding Mixed Architecture Configuration Limitations: VAX systems cannot execute image files compiled on an Alpha system, and Alpha systems cannot execute image files compiled on a VAX system. Other types of files cannot be shared, including object code files (.OBJ), and user interface description files (.UID). You must place files that cannot be shared in different locations: VAX files accessible only to VAX OpenVMS Cluster nodes, and Alpha files accessible only to Alpha OpenVMS Cluster nodes. Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1-5 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1.2 Mixed Architecture Environments Data files, in most cases, must be shared between OpenVMS Cluster nodes. You should place all shared files in directories accessible by both VAX and Alpha OpenVMS Cluster nodes. Logical names, that reference files which cannot be shared, or the directories in which they reside, must be defined differently on VAX and Alpha systems. Files that assign logical name values must therefore be architecture specific. Such files may either reside on node-specific disks or shared only among OpenVMS Cluster nodes of the same hardware architecture. 1.2.3 Configuring Applications in a Mixed Architecture OpenVMS Cluster This section describes three approaches to configuring applications to run in a mixed architecture OpenVMS Cluster. The one you choose depends on your existing configuration, and the needs of the particular application you are installing. These approaches are given as examples only. You should decide which you want to implement based on your own situation and style of system management. All of these approaches have two aspects in common: o All shared files reside in one location o All files that cannot be shared reside in separate locations 1.2.3.1 Separate Disk Configuration These characteristics describe the separate disk configuration: o Product directories are installed on two separate disks. o One of the product directories is a complete installation containing all data (and other shared) files, and all executable (and other nonshared) files for either VAX or Alpha systems. o The other of the product directories is a partial product installation, with only those directories that contain either Alpha or VAX system executables and other nonshared files. 1-6 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1.2 Mixed Architecture Environments o The systems using the disk with the complete installation uses logicals that normally reference the product executables and shared files. o The systems using the disk with only the nonshared files use normal product logical definitions to point to shared files and directories. System logicals that point to nonshared files are assigned to the specific device, directory and/or file names. 1.2.3.2 Separate Root Configuration These characteristics describe the separate root configuration: o Product directories are installed on the same disk, but at different root locations. o One of the product directories is a complete installation containing all data (and other shared files), and all executable (and other nonshared) files for either VAX or Alpha systems. o The other of the product directories is a partial product installation, with only those subdirectories that contain either Alpha or VAX system executables and other nonshared files. o The systems using the directory with the complete installation uses logicals that normally reference the product executables and shared files. o The systems using the directory with only the nonshared files use normal product logical definitions to point to shared files and directories. System logicals that point to nonshared files are assigned to the specific device, directory and/or file names. 1.2.3.3 Separate Subdirectory Configuration These characteristics describe the separate directory configuration: o Product directories are installed on the same disk, and under the same root. o Any directory which would normally contain the nonshared files (under a single architecture installation) has two subdirectories: one for VAX system nonshared files, and one for Alpha system nonshared files. Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1-7 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 1.2 Mixed Architecture Environments o Logicals that reference nonshared files are assigned search list values that point to the directories which holds shared files, and to the architecture specific subdirectories holding nonshared files. 1.2.4 Implementation Specific Approach This document includes specific procedures for a recommended approach based on current product configuration and the behavior of the installation software with respect to its use of logical definitions during upgrades. If the recommended approach is inconsistent with the way you currently manage your system, you should decide on a different approach before you begin your installation procedures. 1-8 Introduction to the Storage Library System for OpenVMS 2 _________________________________________________________________ Before Installing SLS This chapter explains preinstallation requirements for SLS. 2.1 Preinstallation Process This section describes what you need to do before you run the SLS, Version 2.9C installation procedure. Table 2-1 identifies actions you need to take to prepare for installing the SLS, Version 2.9C server software (which provides all SLS functionality) or client software (which provides most SLS functionality, except for the media databases). Later sections of this chapter provide details. ___________ Important - during Installation ___________ Installing SLS Version 2.9C requires DECnet to be enabled throughout the process. Before you begin installing make sure DECnet is enabled. ______________________________________________________ Table_2-1_Preinstallation_Tasks____________________________ Stage_Action_______________________________________________ 1 Configure and Verify Hardware Connections ___________________________________________________________ 2 Verify required quotas and OpenVMS operating system classes.

This means installing, connecting, and testing the tape drives. Each procedure depends on the kind of tape drive that you plan to use. Use the procedures appropriate for the tape drives you plan to include in the managed media environment: o For an automated media library, refer to Section 2.2.1. o For a media loader, refer to Section 2.2.2. o For an operator attended drvie, refer to Section 2.2.3. 2-2 Before Installing SLS Before Installing SLS 2.2 Configuring Your Hardware 2.2.1 Hardware Configuration For an Automated Media Library The following procedure applies to the installation and testing of an automated media library. Configuration and testing of MDMS to manage an automated media library is described in Chapter 4. 2.2.1.1 Hardware Installation During this procedure, refer to the drive-specific hardware installation procedure information for details. The following procedure provides only the basic steps necessary to later configure MDMS against the drive: 1. Install and connect the hardware. Apply power to the drives. 2. If you are using an HSx controller, configure it to allow the OpenVMS system to communicate with the drives. 3. Make note of the drive name after you complete your connection procedure. You will need this, especially if you are going to use the Media Robot Utility software. 2.2.1.2 Test the Hardware With an automated media library, use a utility such as the Media Robot Utility (MRU) or use the front panel of the drive and the OpenVMS system to test the connection between the host and drive. Use the following procedure to test the hardware connection between the automated tape library and the OpenVMS system: 1. Verify the robot device name and the drive names located in the automatic tape library. Issue the DCL SHOW DEVICE command and/or the ROBOT SHOW ROBOT command. If there is a problem with drive name or the connection, it becomes apparent here. $ SHOW DEVICE [drive-name[:]] The following is the StorageWorks Media Robot Utility command for examining the robot: $ ROBOT SHOW ROBOT [robot_name] If you have problems with the drive name, refer to the OpenVMS system and drive-specific hardware documentation for remedial action. Before Installing SLS 2-3 Before Installing SLS 2.2 Configuring Your Hardware 2. Place a volume in the robot. 3. Inject the volume through a port on the robot by using the front panel controls or, if you are using StorageWorks Media Robot Utility, by issuing the ROBOT INJECT command: $ ROBOT INJECT [PORT port_number] SLOT slot_number [ROBOT robot_name] Alternately, you can expose the internal storage slots and place the volume directly into the robot. You also should consider placing one or more cleaning volumes into the robot at this time. 4. Load the volume into the drive by using the front panel controls or, if you are using MRU, by issuing the ROBOT SHOW and ROBOT LOAD command: $ ROBOT SHOW SLOT 0-n [ROBOT robot_name] $ ROBOT LOAD SLOT slot_num [ROBOT robot_name] 5. After loading the volume, check the OpenVMS system connection to the drive by mounting and dismounting the volume. Mount the volume foreign: $ MOUNT/FOREIGN/NOASSIST drive_name[:] Dismount the volume: $ DISMOUNT drive_name[:] 6. Remove the volume from the drive by using the front panel controls or, if you are using MRU, by issuing the ROBOT UNLOAD command: $ ROBOT UNLOAD SLOT slot_number [ROBOT robot_name] After having completed this procedure, the volume remains in the robot but is not loaded in the drive. 2.2.2 Hardware Configuration for a Media Loader The following procedure applies to the installation and testing of a media loader. Configuration and testing of MDMS to manage a media loader is described in Chapter 4. 2-4 Before Installing SLS Before Installing SLS 2.2 Configuring Your Hardware 2.2.2.1 Hardware Installation During this procedure, refer to the drive-specific hardware installation information for details. This procedure provides only the basic steps necessary to later configure MDMS against the drive: 1. Install and connect the hardware. Apply power to the drives. 2. If you are using an HSx controller, configure it to allow the OpenVMS system to communicate with the drives. 3. Make note of the drive name after you complete your connection procedure. You will need this, especially if you are going to use the Media Robot Utility software. 2.2.2.2 Test the Hardware With a media loader, use a utility such as the Media Robot Utility (MRU) or use the front panel of the drive and the OpenVMS system to test the connection between the OpenVMS system and drive. ________________________ Note ________________________ Before you perform this procedure, you must have a compatible, initialized volume in the robot. Use this initialized volume to perform this test. ______________________________________________________ Use the following procedure to test the hardware connection between the tape loader and the OpenVMS system: 1. Verify the changer device name and the drive names. Issue the DCL SHOW DEVICE command and/or the ROBOT SHOW ROBOT command. If there is a problem with drive name or the connection, it becomes apparent here: $ SHOW DEVICE [drive-name[:]] The following is the MRU command for examining the robot: $ ROBOT SHOW ROBOT [robot_name] If you have problems with the drive name, refer to the drive-specific hardware documentation for remedial action. Before Installing SLS 2-5 Before Installing SLS 2.2 Configuring Your Hardware 2. Place a volume in a magazine; place the magazine into the drive. 3. Load a volume into the robot by using the front panel controls or, if you are using MRU, by issuing the ROBOT SHOW and ROBOT LOAD command: $ ROBOT SHOW SLOT 0-n [ROBOT robot_name] $ ROBOT LOAD SLOT slot_num [ROBOT robot_name] 4. After loading the volume, check the OpenVMS system connection to the drive by mounting and dismounting the volume. Mount the volume with the OpenVMS MOUNT/FOREIGN command: $ MOUNT/FOREIGN/NOASSIST drive_name[:] Dismount the volume with the OpenVMS DISMOUNT command. Be sure to include the /NOUNLOAD qualifier: $ DISMOUNT/NOUNLOAD drive_name[:] 5. Remove the volume from the drive by using the front panel controls or, if you are using MRU, by issuing the ROBOT UNLOAD command. $ ROBOT UNLOAD SLOT slot_number [ROBOT robot_name] After having completed this procedure, the magazine with the volume remains in the media loader, but it is not loaded in the drive. 2.2.3 Hardware Configuration for an Operator Attended Drive This procedure applies to the installation and testing of an operator attended drive. The configuration and testing of MDMS to manage the operator attended drive is described in Chapter 4. 2.2.3.1 Hardware Installation During this procedure, refer to the drive-specific hardware installation information for details. This procedure provides only basic steps necessary to later configure MDMS against the drive: 1. Install and connect the hardware.

To determine this requirement, enter the command: 2-10 Before Installing SLS Before Installing SLS 2.4 Hardware Requirements $ SHOW AUDIT/ALL 2.5 Client and Server Definitions This section introduces SLS's concepts of client software and server software. You need to understand these distinctions before you install the SLS software on your system. 2.5.1 Server Software SLS server software gives users access to the full functionality of SLS software. SLS provides this access at the node or OpenVMScluster system where the SLS software is executing. You install SLS server software on the server node. SLS server software manages the: o Media database-A set of RMS files that describe all removable storage media known to SLS software. These files are part of the Media and Device Management Services for OpenVMS (MDMS) portion of the SLS product. For detailed information about the MDMS databases, see the Media and Device Management Services for OpenVMS Guide to Operations. A node or OpenVMScluster system executing SLS server software provides media management services both for itself and for any client nodes connected to it. The media database contains information about volume names, locations, magazines, tape jukeboxes, and pool access authorization. o SLS history files-Information is recorded at the local node about user files backed up or archived under SLS control. Requirement: To use the SLS product, you must have at least one SLS server license in the network. Before Installing SLS 2-11 Before Installing SLS 2.5 Client and Server Definitions 2.5.2 Client Software SLS client software: o Provides backup scheduling and archiving services for the node or OpenVMScluster system on which it is executing o Acts as a client of another node executing SLS server software when it requires media management services o Provides users with full functionality when a node or OpenVMScluster system executing SLS client software is communicating with another node or OpenVMScluster system executing SLS server software Similar to the SLS server software, SLS client software also maintains history files in which it records information about user files backed up or archived locally under its control. The node executing SLS client software communicates using DECnet software to a server node running SLS server software. The server node maintains the media database. Requirement: To use media management services, each SLS client node must be connected to a server node executing SLS server software. Any number of SLS client nodes may be connected to a single SLS server node. 2.6 Software Requirements The following software is required to install either SLS, Version 2.9C server or client software: o OpenVMS VAX operating system, Version 5.5-2, 6.2, 7.1 or 7.2 or OpenVMS Alpha operating system, Version 6.2, 7.1 or 7.2. ________________________ Note ________________________ Storage Library System for OpenVMS, Version 2.9C software is not supported on systems running OpenVMS, Version 7.0 operating system software. ______________________________________________________ 2-12 Before Installing SLS Before Installing SLS 2.6 Software Requirements o DECnet[TM] communications software, Version 5.4 or later 2.6.1 Prerequiste for Installing on Open VMS Version 7.2 On Alpha Systems For OPENVMS V7.2 on Alpha systems the following patch must be installed before using SLS.

Without this patch all error messages issued by SLS will be masked and the exit status will always be 'Normal Successful Completion'. This will cause all the SLS command procedures that check for 'status after a storage command' to malfunction because of the pseudo 'success status' even in case of a failure. 2.6.2 Server Software Requirements Before you install the server software, check to see that the DECnet software and the OpenVMS Queue Manager are running. If they are not running, follow the steps in Table 2-3 to start them. 2-14 Before Installing SLS Before Installing SLS 2.6 Software Requirements Table_2-3_How_to_Start_DECnet_and_OpenVMS_Queue_Manager____ Step__Action_______________________________________________ 1 Start the DECnet software. Enter the following command at the DCL prompt: $ @SYS$MANAGER:STARTNET ___________________________________________________________ 2 Start the OpenVMS Queue Manager. Enter the following command at the DCL prompt: ______$_START/QUEUE/MANAGER________________________________ 2.6.3 Client Software Requirements Before you install client software, the node on which you intend to install the SLS client software must be registered on the SLS server node. If it is not, the IVP fails. For more information, see Section 4.3.3. 2.6.4 Optional Software o DCSC (Digital Cartridge Server Component) If you have a StorageTek Automated Cartridge Server (ACS[TM]), you must install the DCSC software and load the SLS-ACS license to use the ACS with SLS software. License_name: SLS-ACS o RDF (Remote Device Facility) SLS, Version 2.9C software provides optional installation of Remote Device Facility (RDF) software. During installation of the SLS software, you are asked if you want to access tape devices on a remote system or if you want to allow remote backups to tape devices on this system. RDF software is installed automatically if you answer YES to either question. Before Installing SLS 2-15 Before Installing SLS 2.7 Shutting Down the Previous Version of SLS Software 2.7 Shutting Down the Previous Version of SLS Software If you are running a previous version of SLS, then shut down SLS on all nodes in the cluster before installing the new version of SLS server or client software. Shut down the SLS software with the following command: $ @SLS$SYSTEM:SLS$SHUTDOWN ________________________ Note ________________________ Due to changes in functionality and database structure, SLS software versions 2.5B and 2.6 are incompatible with SLS software version 2.4A or earlier. If you are an existing SLS customer, and upgrade SLS on your server node to version 2.5 or higher, then you must also upgrade each of your client nodes to version 2.5 or higher. This requirement results from a change in the format of the common magazine database in SLS software version V2.5B. ______________________________________________________ You might also need to check the batch queues to see if any SLS jobs exist. If so, you need to delete the existing SLS jobs from the batch queues. 2.8 Registering the SLS Software License If you are installing SLS server or client software for the first time, you must register the SLS software license. The following sections describe: o License and kit names o How to unload a previous license o How to register the server or client software license 2-16 Before Installing SLS Before Installing SLS 2.8 Registering the SLS Software License 2.8.1 License and Kit Names Refer to Table 2-4 for the license and kit names for the server or client software.

The steps outlined in Table 3-3 implement that approach. 3-10 Installing the SLS Software Installing the SLS Software 3.3 Configuring SLS in a Mixed Architecture Environment This configuration assumes two installations: a primary installation for which all files and directories will be used, and a secondary installation for which only architecture-compatible executables or other nonshared files are located. With this installation, systems with logicals that point to shared locations must be defined to point to the primary installation file locations. This procedure describes how to change key logical definitions to point the primary installation files. 3.3.1 How to Configure for a Mixed-Architecure Environment Table 3-3 shows the steps for configuring SLS in a mixed architecture OpenVMS Cluster system.

This chapter explains how to do the following post installation activities: o Verifying the installation o Making the SLS software available on a systemwide basis o Defining a network object on an OpenVMScluster system (server software only) o Upgrading SLS to comply with changes to OpenVMS version o Upgrading from a previous version of SLS software o Configuring media and device support for SLS o Configuring SLS for Remote Device Facility (RDF) support 4.1 Verifying the Installation The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) may be executed as part of the installation procedure by responding YES to the question * Do you want to run the IVP after the installation [YES]? If you did not execute the IVP during the installation procedure, then execute it immediately after installing the SLS software by entering the command: $ @SYS$TEST:SLS$IVP Requirements: o The SLS software must be running on the system where the IVP is executed. o When executing the IVP on a SLS client node, the client node must have access to the SLS server node. After Installing SLS 4-1 After Installing SLS 4.2 Editing the Systemwide Command Files 4.2 Editing the Systemwide Command Files To ensure SLS functions properly, you need to edit the system startup procedure and the system login file. 4.2.1 Automatically Starting SLS To ensure the SLS software starts up each time the system is booted, edit the system startup procedure, SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM or SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM based on the OpenVMS Version. Add the following line: $ @SYS$STARTUP:SLS$STARTUP Note: Include the startup line after the STARTNET command in the SYSTARTUP_x.COM file. If you are using DECnet-Plus, make sure the SLS$STARTUP command entry appears before the call @SYS$MANAGER:NET$NCP_APPLICATIONS.COM. 4.2.2 Defining Global Symbols for SLS Users To define symbols for SLS software users, edit the system login file, SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM. Add the following line: $ @SYS$MANAGER:SLS$TAPSYMBOL Note: Include the symbol line in a section of the SYLOGIN.COM file that is executed by all accounts. If SLS$TAPSYMBOL.COM is not run, users will be unable to access the SLS menus. 4.3 Preparing SLS Server Software If you have installed SLS server software for the first time, then you must: o Define a network object on your OpenVMScluster system nodes. o Authorize SLS volume database and pool access. 4-2 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.3 Preparing SLS Server Software 4.3.1 Defining a DECnet Network Object on an OpenVMScluster System Follow the steps in Table 4-1 to define the SLS$DBX NCP object. Requirement: If you intend to implement the high-availability features of SLS software, all nodes that participate in the OpenVMScluster system alias must have the SLS$DBX NCP object defined. Table_4-1_How_to_Define_the_SLS$DBX_NCP_Object_____________ Step_Action________________________________________________ 1 From an account with BYPASS privilege, on the node on which SLS software was just installed, invoke the Network Control Program (NCP) utility by entering the command: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP ___________________________________________________________ 2 Obtain the password for the SLS account: NCP> SHOW OBJECT SLS$DBX CHARACTERISTICS Result: Object Volatile Characteristics as of 2-MAY-1997 13:08:15 Object = SLS$DBX Number = 0 File id = SYS$SYSTEM:SLS$FIND_DB_NODE.EXE User id = SLS Password = password Note: The password is displayed only when the BYPASS privilege is enabled. ___________________________________________________________ (continued on next page) After Installing SLS 4-3 After Installing SLS 4.3 Preparing SLS Server Software Table_4-1_(Cont.)_How_to_Define_the_SLS$DBX_NCP_Object_____ Step_Action________________________________________________ 3 Exit the NCP utility: NCP> EXIT ___________________________________________________________ 4 Invoke the SYSMAN utility: $RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN ___________________________________________________________ 5 Set the SYSMAN environment to include the OpenVMScluster system nodes that participate in the DECnet OpenVMScluster system alias.

You can use SYSMAN if all nodes in a OpenVMS Cluster to issue these commands at first. If only some of the nodes run DECnet, Phase V, you must issue these commands on those nodes individually. 4.3.2.1 Issue the Commands on Currently Running Nodes Once you have installed SLS, you need to register the SLS$DBX object on the node. Issue the commands shown: RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCL NCL> CREATE NODE 0 SESSION CONTROL APPLICATION SLS$DBX NCL> SET NODE 0 SESSION CONTROL APPLICATION SLS$DBX NODE SYNONYM TRUE NCL> SET NODE 0 SESSION CONTROL APPLICATION SLS$DBX ADDRESSES = {NAME = SLS$DBX}, - NCL> IMAGE NAME = "SYS$SYSTEM:SLS$FIND_DB_NODE.EXE", USER NAME = "SLS" 4.3.2.2 Defining the SLS$DBX network object in the NET$APPLICATION_STARTUP.NCL File To define the SLS$DBX network object using DECnet-Plus (Phase V), first ensure that you are logged into the SYSTEM account. Then, execute the following command procedure to define the network object. $ @SYS$STARTUP:NET$CONFIGURE ADVANCED Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1996. All rights reserved.

Three SLS files are dependent on the OpenVMS VAX version running on the system. When SLS is installed, the OpenVMS VAX version is checked, and the correct version of these files is set up for subsequent use. If you upgrade your OpenVMS VAX version after you install SLS, you need to make sure you have the correct version-specific files to match the OpenVMS VAX version. ________________________ Note ________________________ There are no version-specific files for OpenVMS Alpha. If you are running SLS, Version 2.9C on an Alpha system, you can skip this section. ______________________________________________________ 4.4.1 Version-Specific Files When SLS, Version 2.9C is installed on your system, the installation procedure copies all files shown in Table 4-3 into the indicated directories. The procedure then copies the three files appropriate for your OpenVMS version to the same name, except that the version number is removed from the file name. Example: If you are running VMS Version 5.5-2, then SLS$SYSTEM:BACKUPCMD-V55.CLD is copied to SLS$SYSTEM:BACKUPCMD.CLD. A similar copy is performed for the other two files. 4-10 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.4 Configuring SLS to Work With Specific VMS Versions Table_4-3_SLS_Files_for_Specific_OpenVMS_Versions__________ Operating System______Files__________________________________________ VMS 5.5 SLS$SYSTEM:BACKUPCMD-V55.CLD SLS$SYSTEM:VMSBUXX-V55.EXE SYS$MESSAGE:SLS$BACKUPMSG-V55.EXE OpenVMS 6.2 SLS$SYSTEM:BACKUPCMD-V62.CLD SLS$SYSTEM:VMSBUXX-V62.EXE SYS$MESSAGE:SLS$BACKUPMSG-V62.EXE OpenVMS 7.1 SLS$SYSTEM:BACKUPCMD-V71.CLD OpenVMS 7.2 SLS$SYSTEM:BACKUPCMD-V72.CLD ___________________________________________________________ 4.4.2 Upgrading OpenVMS Versions after Installing SLS If you install SLS, and then later upgrade your OpenVMS software version, you must copy the three SLS version dependent files to cause them to be used. A command procedure has been supplied for this purpose. Example: Assume you had installed SLS on a system running VMS Version 6.2. You later upgrade to OpenVMS Version 7.1. You must now execute the following command so that SLS will use the correct OpenVMS Version 7.1 version dependent files: $ @SLS$SYSTEM:SLS$VERSION_CHECK_AND_COPY.COM If you install a version of OpenVMS that is unknown to SLS, this command procedure displays an appropriate error of the following form: %SLS-E-NOVERMATCH, No version specific SLS files exist for OpenVMS Vn.n No files will be copied. After Installing SLS 4-11 After Installing SLS 4.5 Upgrading from a Previous Version 4.5 Upgrading from a Previous Version If you upgrade SLS software from a previous version, then: o You need to review the applicability of customized files. o If you upgrade from SLS Version 2.0 software, you need to retain previous applicable SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM file symbol assignments. o If you upgrade from SLS Version 2.1 software, the installation procedure modifies your current SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM file. ________________________ Note ________________________ SLS Version 2.9C software is incompatible with versions prior to SLS Version 2.5 software. This consideration applies to systems currently running SLS Version 2.4 software or earlier. When installed, SLS Version 2.5 through Version 2.9C software converts the previous volume and magazine databases to a new format. All information is maintained in the databases, except that all magazines initially appear as "not imported" in a jukebox. ______________________________________________________ 4.5.1 Reviewing Outdated Files from SLS$CUSTOM Files placed in SLS$CUSTOM from a previous installation of SLS software may not be compatible with SLS, Version 2.9C software. These files could include patched images or modified command procedures. You need to determine if these files should be removed from SLS$CUSTOM. Where_to_find_old_custom_files: If, during installation, files are found in SLS$CUSTOM, then the installation procedure: 1. Creates a new directory, [SLS$FILES.OLDCUSTOM_n] Each time an installation is performed, the value of n increases. This indicates a new directory has been created for the files in [SLS$FILES.CUSTOM] from the previous installation. 4-12 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.5 Upgrading from a Previous Version 2. Renames and copies all the files in SLS$CUSTOM to the new directory Recommendation: Review the files in [SLS$FILES.OLDCUSTOM_n] before placing them in [SLS$CUSTOM]. Files that predictably executed in a previous version of SLS software may be unpredictable with SLS, Version 2.9C software. 4.5.2 Updating the Command File TAPESTART.COM Follow the steps in Table 4-4 update the new version of command file TAPESTART.COM. For information about media and device management symbols in TAPESTART.COM, see the Media and Device Management Services for OpenVMS Guide to Operations. Note: This procedure is required only if you upgraded from SLS Version 2.0 software. Table_4-4_How_to_Update_the_Command_File_TAPESTART.COM_____ Step_Action________________________________________________ 1 Set default to the directory that contains the file TAPESTART.COM. $ SET DEFAULT SYS$MANAGER ___________________________________________________________ 2 Ensure you have your old and new versions of TAPESTART.COM by entering the command: $ DIRECTORY TAPESTART.* Note: The previous version of the file TAPESTART.COM is named TAPESTART.OLD by the VMSINSTAL procedure. The new installed version is properly named TAPESTART.COM. ___________________________________________________________ (continued on next page) After Installing SLS 4-13 After Installing SLS 4.5 Upgrading from a Previous Version Table 4-4 (Cont.) How to Update the Command File __________________TAPESTART.COM____________________________ Step_Action________________________________________________ 3 Edit the new TAPESTART.COM file to include the symbol assignments from the TAPESTART.OLD file. For information about configuring media and devices for SLS, see the Media and Device Management Services for OpenVMS Guide to Operations. ___________________________________________________________ 4 IF you have an OpenVMScluster node with unique requirements (such as a node with singular access to a tape device): 1. Place a copy of the TAPESTART.COM file in that node's SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSMGR] directory. 2. Set the protection by entering the command: $ SET PROTECTION=W:RE TAPESTART.COM 3. Make the node-specific changes. ___________________________________________________________ 5 Start SLS software by entering the command: _____$_@SYS$STARTUP:SLS$STARTUP____________________________ 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support Once SLS is installed, you need to configure it to use the appropriate media and device support before you can actually save and restore data. This includes determining what physical devices exist for your system and defining appropriate symbols in SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM to identify them to SLS. For more information on configuring media and device support, see the Media and Device Management Services for OpenVMS Guide to Operations. 4.6.1 Configuring MDMS for an Automated Tape Library System If your storage management environment contains an ATL, you must define it in the MDMS file SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM. You must then test the configuration to make sure it is correct. 4-14 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support 4.6.1.1 Configure MDMS for an ATL The following procedure requires you to edit the MDMS file named SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM. You can use any ASCII text editor to accomplish these edits: 1. Identify the primary processing node. Define the symbol PRI to the name of the node or the OpenVMS Cluster alias name executing the MDMS server. If you defined the symbol PRI to the OpenVMS Cluster alias, you must define the symbol DB_NODES to the names of the nodes in the OpenVMS Cluster system that you want to allow to be an MDMS servers. 2. Identify the node on which the current TAPESTART.COM file resides. Assign the node name to the NODE symbol. 3. Define the QUICKLOAD symbol to 1 to facilitate unattended backup. 4. Create the autmatic tape library (ATL) definition. Use the following example as a guideline: ________________________ Note ________________________ The robot device name and the tape drive names must be prefixed with a node name. ______________________________________________________ Example:_Defining_the_ATL o Assign the name meaningful name for the ATL (such as ABS_JUKE) to the TAPE_JUKEBOXES symbol: $ TAPE_JUKEBOXES := "ABS_JUKE" o Define the robot device name and the tape drives to the jukebox name you assigned to the TAPE_JUKEBOXES symbol: $ ABS_JUKE := "NODE01::$1$DUA810:,NODE01::$1$MUA43:,NODE01::$1$MUA44:" Where: - NODE01::$1$DUA810: is the node name plus the robot device name - NODE01::$1$MUA43: and NODE01::$1$MUA44 are the node names plus the names of the drives located in the ATL After Installing SLS 4-15 After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support 5. Define the media triplets. Media triplets are a set of symbols used to associate types of media with drives capable of accessing them and define the media type, density, and corresponding drive name. Use the following example as a guideline: Example:_Defining_the_Media_Triplets_for_an_ATL $ MTYPE_1 := TK85K $ DENS_1 := $ DRIVES_1 := $1$MUA43:,$1$MUA44: Note: During the installation of MDMS, MDMS provides an autoconfiguration utility that creates default media triplets. For each tape drive on the system from which you run the autoconfiguration utility, the utility creates a media triplet for that drive. Note that these are suggested defaults, and you can change the suggested default media triplets if you so choose. Refer to Archive/Backup System for OpenVMS Guide to Operations for details about automatically generating media triplets. 6. Shut down and restart MDMS to enable all the changes made to the TAPESTART.COM file. Use the following command: $ @SLS$SYSTEM:SLS$SHUTDOWN $ @SYS$STARTUP:SLS$STARTUP 4.6.1.2 Test the MDMS ATL Configuration This procedure guides you through testing the configuration for an ATL. ________________________ Note ________________________ Before you perform the procedure, you must have an initialized volume that is compatible with the drive in the ATL. Use this initialized volume to perform this test. ______________________________________________________ 4-16 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support If you have MRU software, you can take this opportunity to learn more about the nature of the managed media environment. Compare the results of the STORAGE and ROBOT commands, or use MRU to verify the state of the automated media library after issuing a STORAGE command. Issue STORAGE and ROBOT commands at the DCL prompt. 1. Check the response of the automated tape library to MDMS. Issue the STORAGE SHOW JUKEBOX command: $ STORAGE SHOW JUKEBOX [tape_jukebox_name] Issue the ROBOT SHOW ROBOT command and compare the results: $ ROBOT SHOW ROBOT [robot_name] 2. Add a volume to the volume database with the STORAGE ADD VOLUME command: $ STORAGE ADD VOLUME volume_id 3. Verify the volume you just added with the STORAGE SHOW VOLUME command: $ STORAGE SHOW VOLUME volume_id 4. Prepare to reply to MDMS requests with the OpenVMS OPCOM REPLY command: $ REPLY/ENABLE=TAPES 5. Insert the volume for which you have just created a volume database record into the library. Issue the STORAGE IMPORT CARTRIDGE command: $ STORAGE IMPORT CARTRIDGE volume_id tape_jukebox_name Translate the location information from the STORAGE IMPORT CARTRIDGE command into a slot location and issue the ROBOT SHOW SLOT command to verify the volume is in the slot: $ ROBOT SHOW [ROBOT robot_name] SLOT [[[slot_number]|[slot_number-slot_number]],...] 6. Load the volume into the drive with the STORAGE LOAD command: $ STORAGE LOAD drive-name volume-id After Installing SLS 4-17 After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support Using the ROBOT SHOW DRIVE command, validate that the volume has been loaded: $ ROBOT SHOW [ROBOT robot_name] DRIVE [[[drv_number]|[drv_number-drv_number]],...] 7. Unload the volume from the drive using the STORAGE UNLOAD command: $ STORAGE UNLOAD VOLUME volume-id Using the ROBOT SHOW SLOT command, validate the volume has been returned to the slot from which it was loaded: $ ROBOT SHOW [ROBOT robot_name] SLOT [[[slot_number]|[slot_number-slot_number]],...] 8. Remove the volume from the library with the STORAGE EXPORT CARTRIDGE command: $ STORAGE EXPORT CARTRIDGE volume-name 4.6.2 Configuring MDMS for a Media Loader If your storage management environment contains a media loader, you must define the media loader in the MDMS file SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM. You must then test the configuration to make sure it is correct. 4.6.2.1 Configure MDMS for a Media Loader The following procedure requires you to edit the MDMS file named SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM. You can use any ASCII text editor to accomplish these edits: 1. Identify the primary processing node. Define the symbol PRI to the name of the node or the OpenVMS Cluster alias name executing the MDMS server. If you defined the symbol PRI to the OpenVMS Cluster alias, you must define the symbol DB_NODES to the names of the nodes in the OpenVMS Cluster system that you want to act as MDMS servers. 2. Identify the node on which the current TAPESTART.COM file resides. Assign the node name to the NODE symbol. 3. Define the QUICKLOAD symbol to 1 to facilitate unattended backup. 4. Create the media loader definition. Use the following example as a guideline: 4-18 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support Example:_Defining_a_Media_Loader Define a symbol ABS_JUKE to the names of the robot device and tape drive of the automated media library system. The following example shows how define the TAPE_ JUKEBOXES symbol: Assign a meaningful name (such as ABS_JUKE) to the TAPE_ JUKEBOXES symbol: $ TAPE_JUKEBOXES := "ABS_JUKE" Define the robot device name and the tape drive to the jukebox name defined by the TAPE_JUKEBOXES symbol: $ ABS_JUKE := "NODE01::$1$DUA810:,NODE01::$1$MUA43: Where: o NODE01::$1$DUA810: is the robot changer name o NODE01::$1$MUA43: is the node name plus the drive name of the media loader ________________________ Note ________________________ The robot device name and the tape drive names must be prefixed with a node name. ______________________________________________________ 5. Define the media triplets. Media triplets are a set of symbols used to associate types of media with drives capable of accessing them. Use the following example as a guideline: Example:_Defining_the_Media_Triplets_for_a_Media_Loader $ MTYPE_1 := TK85K $ DENS_1 := $ DRIVES_1 := $1$MUA43:,$1$MUA44: Note: During the installation of MDMS, MDMS provides an autoconfiguration utility that creates default media triplets.

Remove the magazine from the loader with the STORAGE EXPORT MAGAZINE command: $ STORAGE EXPORT MAGAZINE magazine_name] 4.6.3 Configuring for an Operator Attended Drive If your storage management environment has an operator attended drive or drives, you must define the drive(s) in the MDMS file SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM. You must then test the configuration to make sure it is correct. 4.6.3.1 Configure MDMS for an Operator Attended Device The following procedure requires you to edit the SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM file. You can use any ASCII text editor to accomplish these edits. 1. Identify the primary processing node. Define the symbol PRI to the name of the node or the OpenVMS Cluster alias name executing the MDMS server. If you defined the symbol PRI to the OpenVMS Cluster alias, you must define the symbol DB_NODES to the nodes names in the OpenVMS Cluster system that will be allowed to be the MDMS server should the active MDMS server fail. 2. Identify the node on which the current TAPESTART.COM file resides. Define the NODE symbol to that name. 3. Define the media triplets. Use the following example as a guideline: Example:_Defining_a_Media_Triplet_for_an_Operator_Attended_Drive $ MTYPE_1 := TK85K $ DENS_1 := $ DRIVES_1 := $1$MUA560:,$1$MUA561:,$1$MUA562: Note: During the installation of MDMS, MDMS provides an autoconfiguration utility that creates default media triplets. For each tape drive on the system from which you run the autoconfiguration utility, the utility creates a media triplet for that drive. Note that these are suggested defaults, and you can change the suggested default media triplets if you so choose. 4-22 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support Refer to Archive/Backup System for OpenVMS Guide to Operations for details about automatically generating media triplets. 4. Decide whether operator intervention and acknowledgment is needed then define the QUICKLOAD accordinnly. If you need operator intervention, assign QUICKLOAD to 0. If you do not want operator intervention, assign QUICKLOAD to 1. 5. Configure the Volume Pools. Use the MDMS Administrators Menu. From OpenVMS, issue the SLSMGR command. More_information: For detailed information about the MDMS menus, refer to the Archive/Backup System for OpenVMS Guide to Operations. 6. Shut down and restart MDMS to enable all the changes made to the TAPESTART.COM file. Use the following command: $ @SYS$STARTUP:SLS$STARTUP 4.6.3.2 Test the MDMS Configuration This procedure guides you through testing the MDMS configuration. Issue STORAGE commands at the DCL prompt. 1. Add a volume to the volume database with the STORAGE ADD VOLUME command: $ STORAGE ADD VOLUME volume_id 2. Verify the volumes you just added with the STORAGE SHOW VOLUME command: $ STORAGE SHOW VOLUME volume_id 3. Prepare to reply to MDMS requests with the OpenVMS OPCOM REPLY command: $ REPLY/ENABLE=TAPES 4. Load the volume into the drive with the STORAGE LOAD command: $ STORAGE LOAD drive-name volume-id After Installing SLS 4-23 After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support 5. Unload the volume from the drive using the STORAGE UNLOAD command: $ STORAGE UNLOAD VOLUME volume-id Additional_Information: For additional information about configuring MDMS to work with particular media and drives, see Archive/Backup System for OpenVMS Guide to Operations. 4.6.4 Configuring Remote Tape or Optical Drives If you answered "Yes" to either of the remote support prompts during the MDMS installation procedure, then MDMS automatically installed the RDF software. Table 4-5 describes how to configure the files SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_nodename.DAT and SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM to enable remote drive selection. Table_4-5_Enabling_Remote_Drive_Selection________________________ On the system where the tape or On the system where the data optical_drive_resides________________to_back_up_resides__________ Configure the file SLS$ROOT:[TTI_ N/A DEV]CONFIG_nodename.DAT to contain the tape drive names. See Section 4.6.4.1. Configure media triplets in the Configure media file SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM triplets in the file and define the drives as local SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM drives (Do not include a node name and define the drives as prefix). See Section 4.6.4.1. remote drives (include a node name prefix). See _____________________________________Section_4.6.4.2.____________ 4.6.4.1 On The System Where the Tape or Optical Drive Resides Use the following procedure to configure SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_nodename.DAT and SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM on the system where the drive resides: 4-24 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support 1. Determine which tape or optical drive(s) will receive the backup data. 2. Check the file SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_nodename.DAT to make sure the drives are defined in this file. The installation procedure creates a drive configuration file named SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_nodename.DAT. In this file, include the drive names you wish to use for remote backup operations. Example_of_SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_nodename.DAT: ! The format of this configuration file is: ! ! DEVICE servable_device [characteristic1,...] !--------------------------------------------------------------- device $1$MUA200: MUA200 device $1$MUA210: MUA210 device $1$MUA220: MUA220 3. Edit the file SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM and define media triplets that define the media type, density, and corresponding drive name. Make sure the drive names appear as local drives (do not prefix the drive name with a node name). The drive name must consist of either a physical name or the characteristic name of the drive or drives available for remote backup operations. Example_of_SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM: ! Media triplet definitions $ MTYPE_8 := TK86K $ DENS_8 := $ DRIVES_8 := $1$MUA200: $! $ MTYPE_9 := NODE01TK85K $ DENS_9 := NOCOMP $ DRIVES_9 := $1$MUA210: $! $ MTYPE_10 := NODE01TK85K_COMP $ DENS_10 := COMP $ DRIVES_10 := $1$MUA220: Restriction: After Installing SLS 4-25 After Installing SLS 4.6 Configuring Media and Device Support Media type names cannot exceed 16 characters. 4.6.4.2 On The System Where the Data Resides On the system that contains the disks with the data you want to back up, add one or more media triplets that define the remote drive names in the SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM file. To the dirve definition, include the node name where the drive is physically connected. Do not assign the node name to drives that are local to this system. Example_of_SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM: ! Media triplet definitions $ MTYPE_8 := TK86K $ DENS_8 := $ DRIVES_8 := NODE01::$1$MUA200: $! $ MTYPE_9 := NODE01TK85K $ DENS_9 := NOCOMP $ DRIVES_9 := NODE01::$1$MUA210: $! $ MTYPE_10 := NODE01TK85K_COMP $ DENS_10 := COMP $ DRIVES_10 := NODE01::$1$MUA220: See Archive/Backup System for OpenVMS Guide to Operations for additional information about creating media triplets and defining remote drives. 4.7 Configuring Remote Device Facility Support If you requested support for the Remote Device Facility (RDF) during installation, then you need to identify server and client controls. 4.7.1 Adding RDF Client Support In the SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM file, add one or more media triplets that describe the remote tape device names. Important: It is important to add the remote node name to each device name. For_more_information: 4-26 After Installing SLS After Installing SLS 4.7 Configuring Remote Device Facility Support Refer to the Media and Device Management Services for OpenVMS Guide to Operations for detailed instructions about modifying the SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM file to allow access to remote devices. 4.7.2 Adding RDF Server Support The configuration file SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_ nodename.DAT is created during the installation procedure. Include the tape devices you wish to serve in this file. For_more_information: Refer to the Media and Device Management Services for OpenVMS Guide to Operations for detailed instructions about modifying the SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_nodename.DAT file for remote tape devices.

Refer to the Installation Guide for details. 1. Edit the system startup procedure to start the SLS software on this client. Add $ @SYS$STARTUP:SLS$STARTUP 2. Edit the system wide login file. Add $ @SYS$MANAGER:SLS$TAPSYMBOL 3. Run SLS$SYSTEM:SLS$SLSMGR.EXE to perform the following functions: a. Authorize access to the SLS server database for SLS client nodes. b. Authorize access to SLS pools for SLS users. 4. Customize SYS$MANAGER:TAPESTART.COM to reflect SLS environment parameters. 5. Check that SLS$DBX object is defined on all nodes participating in the VMScluster System alias. 6. For Remote Device Facility client support, you should add one or more media-type triplets (MTYPE_x, DENS_x, DRIVES_x) to your TAPESTART.COM to describe the remote tape drives. Be sure to include the remote nodename in each drive name. 7. For Remote Device Facility server support, you should check the file SLS$ROOT:[TTI_RDEV]CONFIG_NODE1.DAT to ensure that the tape devices you wish to serve are included in this RDF configuration file. This file will be created initially when SLS is started after this installation. 8. On both Alpha and VAX systems, if you are upgrading from version 2.9B or earlier, you MUST reboot your system before using the Remote Device Facility. %VMSINSTAL-I-MOVEFILES, Files will now be moved to their target directories... %SLS-I-STARTUP, Starting SLS %RUN-S-PROC_ID, identification of created process is 2020023C %SLS-I-WAIT, Waiting for the SLS software to start ******************************************************************************** Beginning SLS Version V2.9C Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) ******************************************************************************** Installation verification begun at 14-JUL-1997 13:47:55.94 SLS Server Installation Example Log File A-7 SLS Server Installation Example Log File A.2 SLS Server Installation Log-Part 2 Checking for correct version of VMS.
