C O M P A Q Revision/Update Information:yVersion 4.0 Checklist: 1. Read the Read Before Installing document. 2. If upgrading from Version 3.0 or later, create a snapshot file of your current database. See Read Before Installing for more information. 3. Deinstall previous version of the Directory Service. 4. Check prerequisite software, diskspace, and licenses. 5. Install V4.0 of the Directory Service (release notes subset first). 6. Use setld -v to verify the installation. 7. Run the create_templates procedure. 8. If upgrading or reinstalling, recustomize any customized files, specifically: The schema files (recompile the schema if you customize it) start_dsa.ncl start_dsa_event_dispatching.ncl The deinstallation of the previous version saves files that might be customized. See Read Before Installing for more information. 9. Start the Directory Service. If upgrading from Version 3.0 or later, create the DSA from the snapshot file.

Prerequisite Software o Tru64[TM] UNIX[TM] V4.0D, or later. o DECnet[TM]-Plus V4.0C for Tru64 UNIX, or later Installation requires the DNANETMAN subset and one or both of the DNABASE or DNAKBIN subsets, depending on whether you want the Directory Service to use DECnet /OSI and/or TCP/IP transport services. Information Required Before you install the Compaq X.500 Directory Service, make sure you know the location of the installation kit. This is either a device name or a mount point. Disk Space and Time Required The installation subsets require the following free disk space: __________________________________________________________ Disk____Base__ServerAdmin_API___LUC___RelnotMan___Total___ /usr 3000 4000 4300 7800 8300 300 300 28000 Kbytes /var 500 50 600 - - - - 1150 __________________________________________________Kbytes__ You are recommended to back up your system disk before the installation. Installation of all components takes approximately 15 minutes. Product Licenses Before you install the software, you must register one or more of the following licenses: X500-DIRECTORY-SERVER, X500-SERVER-USAGE, and X500-ADMIN-FACILITY. 2 Before Upgrading from Version V3.0 In Version 3.0, and later (including ECO kits), the DSA uses memory image files instead of snapshot files. As memory image files are version specific, your current memory image files cannot be used by Version 4.0 of the Directory Service. To use your existing database with Version 4.0, create a snapshot file of your database before you upgrade. See the Read Before Installing document for more information. Release Notes and Read Before Installing Document The release notes are provided in a Relnote subset. You are recommended to install the Relnote subset and read the release notes before installing any other subsets. The product documentation includes a Read Before Installing document, which you are recommended to read before installing any components. Installing the Compaq X.500 Directory Service Log in with superuser privileges. Make sure you are in the root directory. Type: # setld -l source where source is either a mount point directory or a device-specific file name of the installation kit. The installation procedure displays a menu. Select the components that you want to install, and follow the instructions. The Base component is a prerequisite for all other components, and is required on all systems from which you want to manage the Directory Server, and all systems on which you want to run directory applications. Handling Errors If an error occurs during installation, make sure that you have the correct prerequisite software and sufficient disk space. Repeat the installation, keeping a log of the messages displayed. If the problem occurs at the same point, refer to Compaq X.500 Directory Service Problem Solving. 3 Verifying the Installation To verify that all installed files are in the correct locations and have the correct protections, type: # setld -v subset where subset is one or more of DXDABASE400, DXDASRVR400, DXDADXIM400, DXDARELNOTE400, DXDAAPI400, DXDALUC400, and DXDAMAN400. Tasks After Installation After installation, you need to run a procedure that creates OSI transport templates required by the directory components, as follows: # /var/dxd/scripts/create_templates If you do not run this procedure after installation, you will be unable to use the directory components on this system until the next system reboot. You can now configure the Directory Service as described in Compaq X.500 Directory Service Management. If you are upgrading from a previous version, then you may have saved copies of schema files. Modify the schema files provided by this installation to include any customizations you made to the previous version, and then recompile the schema. You can then start the DSA. If you are upgrading from Version 3.0 of the Directory Service, you must create the DSA from the snapshot file of your database. See Read Before Installing for more information. Note that if DECnet or DCE software are installed after you install the Directory Service, you will need to reinstall the Directory Service. Further Information Digital X.500 Directory Service Problem Solving contains a list of the files that should be present on your system after installation, their locations and approximate sizes. The guide also lists errors that you might see during installation and verification and explains what to do if they occur. 4
