Before you can install and configure DECwindows Motif software, you must have the required version of the OpenVMS operating system, sufficient memory, and a license. Also, if this is a system upgrade, you may need to take steps to preserve OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 programming files or any customized Bookreader files. This chapter includes the following topics: o Section 1.1, Hardware and Memory Requirements o Section 1.2, Required Operating System Software o Section 1.3, License Requirements o Section 1.4, Saving OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 and XUI Programming Files o Section 1.5, Saving Customized Bookreader Files o Section 1.6, Installation Procedure Requirements ________________________ Note ________________________ HP strongly recommends that you read the release notes before proceeding with the installation. See Section 2.2 for instructions on how to access this information. ______________________________________________________ 1-1 Preparing to Install the Software 1.1 Hardware and Memory Requirements 1.1 Hardware and Memory Requirements DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Version 1.6 software can be installed on any processor supported by OpenVMS Version 8.3. For a complete list of supported hardware, see the OpenVMS and DECwindows Motif Software Product Descriptions (SPDs). On OpenVMS Alpha systems, a minimum of 64 MB of memory is required; at least 128 MB of memory is highly recommended. On OpenVMS I64 systems, the minimum amount of memory is dependent upon the specific Integrity Server platform. In general for DECwindows Motif, 512 MB of memory is recommended. Refer to the supported platform list in the OpenVMS SPD for more specific requirements. 1.2 Required Operating System Software The DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Version 1.6 software requires that the OpenVMS Version 8.3 operating system be installed. If your system is not running a supported version of OpenVMS before you attempt to install DECwindows Motif, the installation fails. The OpenVMS operating system provides two subsets of components to support DECwindows Motif. To use DECwindows Motif software, your system must be running a version of the OpenVMS system that includes the following components, as described in Table 1-1. 1-2 Preparing to Install the Software 1.2 Required Operating System Software Table_1-1_DECwindows_Motif_Support_Options_for_OpenVMS_____ Option____________Description______________________________ DECwindows This component is required to install Motif network DECwindows Motif and to run DECwindows transport and Motif applications. During the base system installation of OpenVMS, you are prompted support to specify whether you want to install this option. To determine whether this option was installed during the installation of OpenVMS, check for the existence of the following file: SYS$LIBRARY:DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON.EXE See Section 4.2 for information on adding DECwindows base support files after OpenVMS has been installed. (continued on next page) 1-3 Preparing to Install the Software 1.2 Required Operating System Software Table 1-1 (Cont.) DECwindows Motif Support Options for __________________OpenVMS__________________________________ Option____________Description______________________________ DECwindows X11 This component is necessary to display Display Server, DECwindows Motif applications or any fonts, and other X Window applications on your device drivers system. During the installation of OpenVMS, you are prompted to specify whether you want to install this option. To determine whether this option was installed during the installation of OpenVMS, check for the existence of the following file: SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$SERVER_MAIN.EXE If the DECW$SERVER_MAIN.EXE file is not on your system, you cannot display DECwindows Motif or other X Window applications on your local system[1]. The DECwindows Motif installation procedure asks whether you want to continue the installation without workstation support. See Section 4.2 for information on adding DECwindows device support after OpenVMS has been installed. [1]If_this_component_is_not_installed_locally,_note_that___ you can run DECwindows Motif applications and redirect their display to a remote system that does have the DECwindows X11 Display Server installed. ___________________________________________________________ 1-4 Preparing to Install the Software 1.3 License Requirements 1.3 License Requirements You must register and load your license for DECwindows Motif before you run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) and use the software. To register a license using the License Management Facility (LMF), log into the system manager account (SYSTEM). Then choose one of the following options to register the license: o Invoke the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. When the procedure prompts you for information, respond with data from your License PAK. o At the DCL prompt, enter the LICENSE REGISTER command with the appropriate qualifiers that correspond to License PAK information. If you plan to use DECwindows Motif software on more than one node in a OpenVMS Cluster, load the license on the other nodes after you complete this installation. If you are installing DECwindows Motif software as an update on a node or cluster already licensed for this software, you have already completed the License PAK registration requirements. For complete information about using LMF, see the HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual. The following sections describe additional platform- specific license requirements. 1.3.1 For OpenVMS Alpha Systems Before you install and run DECwindows Motif software on a newly licensed node or cluster, you must first register a DW-MOTIF License PAK or another License PAK that includes support for the DECwindows Motif product (such as, NET-APP-SUP-150). The License PAK is provided along with the kit if you ordered the license and media together; otherwise, it is provided separately to a location based on your license order. 1-5 Preparing to Install the Software 1.3 License Requirements 1.3.2 For OpenVMS I64 Systems Before you install the DECwindows Motif software, you must have first registered a license for an OpenVMS I64 Operating Environment (OE) that includes the DECwindows Motif layered product. See the HP OpenVMS I64 and DECwindows Motif SPDs for a complete list of the OpenVMS I64 OEs that include the DECwindows Motif layered product. 1.4 Saving OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 and XUI Programming Files The X Window System and OSF/Motif libraries that are provided with DECwindows Motif software are incompatible with those libraries provided with versions of DECwindows Motif prior to Version 1.2. Run-time compatibility is preserved, but the earlier OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 and XUI programming environments are not compatible with the later OSF/Motif Release 1.2 programming environment. Programming support in the XUI and OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 environments that was provided in previous versions of DECwindows Motif is no longer supported in the DECwindows Motif product. The DECwindows Motif Alpha installation procedure gives you the option of saving the XUI and OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 programming files if they exist on your system. If you choose to save these programming files, they are moved to subdirectories where you can access them for future use. Specifically, the installation procedure creates a subdirectory called [.DECW$113] under each of the directories listed in Table 1-2. It then moves the Release 1.1.3 programming files into the newly created subdirectories. Table 1-2 Directories for Previous XUI or OSF/Motif Programming __________Environments___________________________________________ Directory_____Contents____New_Location___________________________ DECW$INCLUDE C header SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$INCLUDE.DECW$113] files SYS$SYSTEM UIL SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE.DECW$113] compiler (continued on next page) 1-6 Preparing to Install the Software 1.4 Saving OSF/Motif Release 1.1.3 and XUI Programming Files Table 1-2 (Cont.)

If you customized this file and want to save it, copy the file to another directory or rename the file prior to the installation of DECwindows Motif software so that it is not deleted. To copy your customized file to another directory, create the directory and define a global symbol in the file DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM. To create a Bookreader directory called SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK_LOCAL], perform the following steps: 1. Create the directory and assign world read access as follows: $ CREATE/DIRECTORY/PROTECTION=WORLD:R - _$ SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK_LOCAL] 2. Copy the LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF file to the new directory as follows: $ COPY SYS$SYSROOT:[DECW$BOOK]LIBRARY.DECW$BOOKSHELF - _$ SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK_LOCAL]*/LOG 1-7 Preparing to Install the Software 1.5 Saving Customized Bookreader Files 3. If the SYS$MANAGER directory does not contain the DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM command file, copy the template file to a command file as follows: $ COPY SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.TEMPLATE - _$ SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM/LOG 4. Edit the DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM file and define the global symbol DECW$BOOK to point to your Bookreader directory by adding the following line to the file: $ DECW$BOOK == "SYS$COMMON:[DECW$BOOK_LOCAL]" 5. Restart DECwindows Motif using the following command if you performed step 4 after installing the product and after DECwindows had been started (for example, after a reboot): $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART For more information about customizing your DECwindows Motif environment, see HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Management Guide. 1.6 Installation Procedure Requirements This section discusses the requirements for installing the DECwindows Motif software using PCSI. 1.6.1 Process Account Quotas Use the following table to determine the minimum quotas required by the installation procedure. Table 1-3 Process Quotas for the Installation Account on __________OpenVMS_I64_and_OpenVMS_Alpha_Systems____________ Quota_Name__Value__________________________________________ ASTLM 250 BIOLM 150 BYTLM 64,000 DIOLM 150 ENQLM 2,000 (continued on next page) 1-8 Preparing to Install the Software 1.6 Installation Procedure Requirements Table 1-3 (Cont.) Process Quotas for the Installation Account on OpenVMS I64 and OpenVMS Alpha __________________Systems__________________________________ Quota_Name__Value__________________________________________ FILLM___________100________________________________________ Use the OpenVMS AUTHORIZE utility to verify and change process quotas for the installation account in the user authorization file (UAF). (Some sites may restrict the use of the AUTHORIZE utility to certain accounts or users.) For example, to change the BYTLM quota for the account-name installation account, enter the following commands: $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM $ RUN AUTHORIZE UAF> SHOW account-name UAF> MODIFY account-name /BYTLM = 64000 UAF> SHOW account-name UAF> EXIT $ LOGOUT After you change the quotas for the installation account, log out of the installation account and log in again for the new quotas to take effect. You can then proceed with the installation. User account quotas are stored in the file SYS$SYSTEM:SYSUAF.DAT. For more information about modifying account quotas, see the description of the AUTHORIZE utility in the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual. 1.6.2 Disk Space Use the table appropriate for your operating system to determine the amount of free disk space that is required on the system disk to install DECwindows Motif components. However, because you can choose not to install all the components, your actual disk space requirement may be less. To determine the number of free blocks on the system disk, enter the following command at the DCL prompt: $ SHOW DEVICE SYS$SYSDEVICE 1-9 Preparing to Install the Software 1.6 Installation Procedure Requirements The installation procedure checks for free disk space on the system disk. If sufficient space is not available, the installation procedure provides the following options: o Install fewer optional files. o Terminate the installation, create more free disk space on the system disk, and restart the installation. o Continue the installation and risk running out of disk space. ________________________ Note ________________________ If you run out of free disk space during the installation, the installation procedure fails. ______________________________________________________ Table 1-4 Required Disk Space by Component for OpenVMS I64 __________Systems_(in_Blocks)______________________________ Component/Subcomponent___Requirement_Subtotals___Totals____ Installation overhead: 40,000[1] 40,000 40,000 LBX support: 1,020 1,020 1,020 Client software: Client base kit 114,970 114,970 Desktop support New Desktop 63,510 DECwindows 13,600 desktop Manual pages 2,810 for New Desktop Desktop 79,920 subtotal [1]Includes_excess_disk_space_allocation_(dependent_on_____ disk cluster size), PCSI overhead, and log files.

The DECwindows installation supplies a NEWPARAMS.DAT file which AUTOGEN uses as input for its CLU$PARAMS.DAT file. The CLU$PARAMS.DAT file captures system parameter requirements from layered products that use the NEWPARAMS.DAT method of supplying their system parameter requirements to AUTOGEN. In most cases, this process eliminates the need to modify the MODPARAMS.DAT file. Depending on the kinds of programs and applications running at your site, you might need higher values for some settings. If you need higher settings, you should modify the MODPARAMS.DAT file before running the AUTOGEN procedure. See the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Management Guide for additional system tuning recommendations. 1-13 Preparing to Install the Software 1.6 Installation Procedure Requirements Table 1-6 Minimum Required System Parameter Values for __________OpenVMS_I64_Systems______________________________ System Parameter________Value_____________________________________ GBLSECTIONS 1,000[1] GBLPAGES 150,000[1] GBLPAGFIL 4,096 SWPOUTPGCNT 512 MAXBUF 8,192 CHANNELCNT 255 PROCSECTCNT 64 PQL_MASTLM 100 PQL_MBIOLM 100 PQL_MBYTLM 100,000 PQL_MDIOLM 100 PQL_MENQLM 300 PQL_MFILLM 100 PQL_MPRCLM 10 PQL_MWSDEFAULT 4,096 PQL_MWSQUOTA 8,192 PQL_MWSEXTENT 16,384 CLISYMTBL 512 GH_RES_CODE 3,072 IMGREG_PAGES 10,000 [1]If_you_have_installed_other_software_that_uses_global___ pages or global sections, you might need a higher minimum value.

If the support files are installed, the following message is displayed: **** DECwindows device support files DETECTED **** If the files are not installed, users are warned with the following message that their systems cannot be a workstation or a workstation boot server: The DECwindows device support files for using this machine as a workstation or as a boot node for workstations have not been installed. You can use the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility to change the options selected when the OpenVMS software was installed. See the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility User's Guide for more information. To add the support files and the 75DPI and/or the 100DPI font files, use the PRODUCT RECONFIGURE command as follows: $ PRODUCT RECONFIGURE VMS You should add the "DECwindows server support" subclass in the Utilities class. The installation procedure then asks the following question: Do you wish to continue with this installation without the workstation support? If you answer No (default) and press the Return key, the installation is stopped. See Section 4.2 for information on adding the necessary support files. Once you install the necessary support files, restart the installation procedure. If you answer Yes and press the Return key, the installation continues. Note that this portion of the installation does not occur if you install or upgrade the OpenVMS operating system and DECwindows Motif software simultaneously. 2-15 Using the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility 2.3 Installing the DECwindows Motif Software 2.3.2.12 Reviewing Final Installation Notes If the installation is successful, the dialog displays a list of all products installed and removed. Finally, the procedure displays additional installation notes for the DECwindows Motif product. ...100% The following product has been installed: DEC AXPVMS DWMOTIF V1.6 Layered Product DEC AXPVMS DWMOTIF V1.6: DECwindows Motif System reboot is required. If using a language variant, reboot after upgrade of language variant. A system reboot is required to install the new DECwindows Motif images. If this is a new installation, you should execute AUTOGEN using the following command: $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT CHECK_FEEDBACK This command adjusts your system parameters and reboots the system. If you want to use DECwindows with any language other than English, install the appropriate DECwindows Motif Version 1.6 language variant product before using AUTOGEN or rebooting the system. Installation Verification Procedure can be run after reboot. Run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) after the installation is completed and the system is rebooted. The IVP is located in the following directory: SYS$TEST:DECW$IVP.COM. 2.4 Recovering from Errors An error during installation can occur if one or more of the following conditions exists: o The operating system version is incorrect. o The prerequisite software version is incorrect. o Process quotas required by the installation utility are inadequate. o The OpenVMS Help library is currently in use. 2-16 Using the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility 2.4 Recovering from Errors For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions, see the documents listed in the Related Documents section in the Preface. These documents may help you diagnose errors and decide what corrective actions to take. 2-17 Using the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility 2.4 Recovering from Errors If the installation procedure fails for any reason, the PCSI utility displays a message similar to the following: %PCSI-I-INSFAIL, The installation of DECwindows Motif Version 1.6 for OpenVMS has failed. If the installation fails, fix the problem and restart the installation procedure. 2.5 Adjusting Parameters After Installation If you are installing or upgrading the OpenVMS operating system and the DECwindows Motif software simultaneously, the installation procedure checks the system parameters at this point (see Section 1.6.3 and Section 3.5). When DECwindows Motif attempts to start after a successful installation, it may display messages similar to the following: %DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter GBLPAGES is 120000, should be at least 150000 %DECW-W-BADVALUE, Free GBLPAGES is 75040 should be at least 92000 %DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter CLISYMTBL is 256, should be at least 512 Some SYSGEN parameters must be reset for DECwindows to start. If you type YES, AUTOGEN will change these parameters and reboot your system. If you type NO, AUTOGEN will not be run or cause a reboot but DECwindows will not start. Do you want the system to run AUTOGEN for you [YES] ________________________ Note ________________________ You will not see these messages if this is a new installation of DECwindows. ______________________________________________________ At this point, press the Return key. The system will run AUTOGEN, adjust your system parameters, reboot the system and display the DECwindows login. 2-18 3 _________________________________________________________________ After Installing the Software This chapter discusses the tasks that you need to perform after the DECwindows Motif installation is complete: o Section 3.1, Starting the DECwindows Motif Software o Section 3.2, Running the IVP o Section 3.3, Choosing a Console o Section 3.4, Selecting the Desktop 3.1 Starting the DECwindows Motif Software If the workstation support component of OpenVMS has been installed, the DECwindows startup procedure runs automatically when the system reboots. Either the New Desktop login dialog box or the DECwindows desktop Start Session dialog box is displayed, depending on the value of the DECW$START_NEW_DESKTOP global symbol. (See Section 3.4 for more information.) If the DECwindows Motif license that is installed on your system is not valid, warning messages may display on your console terminal and DECwindows Motif is not started automatically. If this situation occurs, log into the system, install the valid license, and start the DECwindows Motif software manually. For complete information on installing licenses on OpenVMS systems, see the HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual. For information on starting DECwindows, see the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Management Guide. 3-1 After Installing the Software 3.2 Running the IVP 3.2 Running the IVP Run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP), SYS$TEST:DECW$IVP.COM, after you install and start the DECwindows Motif product. This procedure contains a series of tests that verify that the software installation is complete and accurate. 3.2.1 Starting the Procedure To start the IVP procedure, invoke the SYS$TEST:DECW$IVP command procedure. The dialog begins with a brief introduction. $ @SYS$TEST:DECW$IVP (c) Copyright 2006 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) This IVP is intended to test some of the functionality of DECwindows Motif and to provide a quick method of verifying the installation. 3-2 After Installing the Software 3.2 Running the IVP ________________________ Note ________________________ If you are invoking the IVP from an X terminal using LAT software, enter the following command first: $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=LAT_nnnnnnnnnnnn/TRANSPORT=LAT Substitute your actual LAT terminal number for nnnnnnnnnn. Enter the default at the _Display: prompt. ______________________________________________________ 3.2.2 Display-Oriented Tests Next, the IVP procedure attempts to run a set of display- oriented tests. Whether these tests are run and how they are run depends on your hardware and on the availability of the test images. o If the test images exist and you are invoking the tests from a workstation, you are asked where the display- oriented tests should display. Your current workstation is usually the default display. The default display is usually taken from the value of the DECW$DISPLAY logical associated with the process running the IVP. The logical can point to either a local or remote display server. o If the test images exist and you are not using a workstation, the procedure indicates that you need to enter a node name at the _Display: prompt. In this case, the DECW$DISPLAY logical is not defined, therefore there is no default display. For example, if you use the SET HOST command to access a system and do not define the DECW$DISPLAY logical, the IVP does not know if you are on a workstation. In this case, you enter the name of the node where you wish the display to occur. If only a node name is supplied, the default is to use the DECnet transport, server 0, and screen 0 on the specified node. If you wish to override these defaults, specify the full display name (for example, ashfld:2.1 creates a connection to screen 1, server 2 on node ashfld using the TCP/IP transport). o If the IVP does not find the images, a message displays to inform you that the tests will not be run. 3-3 After Installing the Software 3.2 Running the IVP Press Ctrl/Z at the prompt if you do not want to run the display-oriented tests. The following example shows the display test dialog on a workstation system. The display device _WSA150 could be either a local display or a remote display. To skip the display-oriented tests, press Ctrl/Z at the following prompt. _Display:[_WSA150:]: %DECW-I-IVP, The IVP will display on WSA150: %DECW-I-IVP, Running DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.EXE for up to a minute. %DECW-I-IVP, Press Ctrl/Y to interrupt test. %DCL-S-SPAWNED, process DECW$IVP_ICO spawned %DECW-I-IVP, Running SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$CLOCK for up to a minute. %DECW-I-IVP, Press Ctrl/Y to interrupt test. %DCL-S-SPAWNED, process DECW$IVP_CLOCK spawned 3-4 After Installing the Software 3.2 Running the IVP The following partial example shows the test being run on a non-workstation system. This machine is not a workstation. Please provide the node name of a workstation on which to display the IVP tests. You must be sure that this account and node have security access to the display node, or the IVP will fail. To skip the display-oriented tests, press Ctrl/Z at the following prompt. _Display []: NODE33 %DECW-I-IVP, The IVP will display on NODE33::0.0 The remainder of the dialog is identical to the workstation example. 3.2.3 LBX Proxy Tests If the display-oriented tests were selected and the required images are available, the procedure attempts to run the LBX proxy tests. The dialog's display of the test results depends on whether a display name or node name was entered in the previous dialog section, if a display name was entered whether the display is local or remote, and, if a local display, whether the display has been properly configured to support the LBX test. The following list describes the IVP's actions in each of several possible cases. o If the specified display is local, the display server has enabled support for the LBX and SECURITY extensions, and the IVP process has the required privileges, the IVP displays the following messages. %DECW-I-IVP, LBX Proxy tests, tests will execute through a proxy %DECW-I-IVP, Running DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.EXE for up to a minute. %DECW-I-IVP, Press Ctrl/Y to interrupt test. %DCL-S-SPAWNED, process DECW$IVP_LBX spawned Using port number '50' %DCL-S-SPAWNED, process DECW$IVP_ICO spawned %DECW-I-IVP, End of LBX Proxy tests o If the specified display is remote, the procedure is unable to determine if the associated display server supports the LBX and SECURITY extensions. The dialog issues a message warning you that the tests will fail if the remote server is not properly configured. The following example shows the LBX portion of the IVP 3-5 After Installing the Software 3.2 Running the IVP after a remote display has been selected and the process running the IVP has the required privileges. If the remote server is properly configured, the remainder of the LBX portion of the dialog is identical to the first case in this list. If the remote server is not properly configured, the LBX Proxy test (and the IVP) will fail. The LBX tests can only be executed if the display server has been configured to support the LBX and SECURITY extensions and this account has permission to generate cookies. Normally, remote servers will not give that permission and the LBX tests cannot be executed. Answer "NO" at the following prompt to skip the LBX tests. Execute LBX test? YES o If the specified display is local, and the display server has enabled support for the LBX and SECURITY extensions, but the process running the IVP does not have the required privileges, the IVP displays the following message. %DECW-I-IVP, No privilege to execute LBX part of test. Proxy test skipped. o If the specified display is local and the display server has not been configured to support the LBX extension, the IVP displays the following message. %DECW-I-IVP, Server does not support LBX extension. Proxy test skipped. o If the specified display is local, and the display server has not been configured to support the SECURITY extension, the IVP displays the following message. %DECW-I-IVP, Server does not support SECURITY extension. Proxy test skipped. o If a node name is entered in the first part of IVP dialog instead of a display name, the IVP displays the following message. %DECW-I-IVP, LBX Proxy tests need a display device. Proxy test skipped. 3-6 After Installing the Software 3.2 Running the IVP 3.2.4 Nondisplay-Oriented Tests Finally, the IVP runs a set of nondisplay-oriented tests. o The first of these tests invokes the Motif UIL compiler. If you did not install programming support, the IVP informs you that this test will not be run because the Motif UIL image does not exist. If this test is run, you are notified of its completion status. o The last test converts a text file to DDIF format and then converts it back to text, comparing the original text file with the result. If the files match, the test is successful. You are notified of its completion status. The following example shows the IVP output for the final two tests. %DECW-I-IVP, Invoking the UIL Motif compiler... %DECW-S-IVP, The UIL Motif compiler test completed successfully. %DECW-I-IVP, Beginning CONVERT/DOCUMENT IVP... %DECW-S-IVP, CONVERT/DOCUMENT IVP passed. %DECW-S-IVP, The IVP has completed. $ 3.3 Choosing a Console You can boot the DECwindows Motif software manually from a console. However, the type of console varies according to operating system platform, as described in the following sections. 3.3.1 On OpenVMS Alpha Systems You can boot the DECwindows Motif software from the main console. You can then toggle between displaying and not displaying the operator window by pressing Ctrl/F2. The main console is always a workstation screen. If you are logged in to the main console (workstation screen), you must log out before DECwindows will start. Issue the following command from the main console: $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP 3-7 After Installing the Software 3.3 Choosing a Console Once the command procedure completes, log out of the main console. Otherwise the server will not start and a login box will not appear. For an alternate console, you can use a terminal connected to the workstation by means of a terminal port. If you boot from the main console, the alternate console is connected when you invoke the DECwindows Motif startup command procedure. Note that if you boot the system from an alternate console, you cannot start the Console Window application. 3.3.2 On OpenVMS I64 Systems In the OpenVMS I64 environment, the only type of console that is supported is a non-graphics, serial console connected through a special management port. See the HP OpenVMS Upgrade and Installation Manual for information on configuring and using the serial console. 3.4 Selecting the Desktop DECwindows Motif provides a choice of two desktops: the New Desktop, which is derived from the Common Desktop Environment (CDE), and the Traditional (DECwindows) Desktop. During the installation, if you choose to install both the New Desktop and the DECwindows desktop, you are asked which desktop you want to be the default desktop. To select the other desktop as the default desktop, perform the following steps. 1. If the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM does not exist, copy it from DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.TEMPLATE (or create it if an earlier version of DECwindows Motif has not been installed on your system). For example: $ COPY SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.TEMPLATE - _$ SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM 2. Edit SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_APPS_SETUP.COM and add a symbol definition for DECW$START_NEW_DESKTOP. If you want the New Desktop as the default enter the following global symbol definition: $ DECW$START_NEW_DESKTOP == "TRUE" 3-8 After Installing the Software 3.4 Selecting the Desktop If you want the DECwindows desktop as the default, enter the following global symbol definition: $ DECW$START_NEW_DESKTOP == "FALSE" 3. Restart DECwindows using the following command: $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART 3.5 System Maintenance Procedures This section explains how to use the System Generation utility (SYSGEN) and the AUTOGEN utility to adjust your system for DECwindows Motif. The AUTOGEN utility uses system configuration data to automatically set system parameters. ________________________ Note ________________________ The DECwindows Motif startup procedure automatically checks for required system parameter values and passes the appropriate values to AUTOGEN via NEWPARAMS.DAT. Therefore, in most cases you do not have to check and modify these values manually as described in the following sections. These sections provide procedures to use if you find it necessary to increase a system resource beyond the values normally specified by DECwindows Motif. ______________________________________________________ 3.5.1 Checking a System Parameter Value with SYSGEN To check the value of a system parameter, invoke the SYSGEN utility by entering the following command at the DCL prompt: $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN SYSGEN> USE CURRENT SYSGEN> At the SYSGEN prompt, enter the SHOW command to display the value of a system parameter. The following command displays the value for the CLISYMTBL system parameter: SYSGEN> SHOW CLISYMTBL 3-9 After Installing the Software 3.5 System Maintenance Procedures After checking parameters with the SHOW command, enter the EXIT command at the SYSGEN prompt to return to DCL level. 3.5.2 Calculating the Number of Free Global Pages and Global Sections To install and run DECwindows Motif software, you must have sufficient free global pages and global sections for the DECwindows Motif software and the file SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE. DECwindows Motif attempts to guarantee that sufficient resources are available by placing both MIN_ and ADD_ parameters for global pages and global sections in its NEWPARAMS.DAT file. In addition, the DECwindows Motif startup command procedure checks these values and automatically invokes AUTOGEN if the current resources are insufficient. However, under certain system loads you may find it necessary to increase these resources by placing your own ADD_ entries in MODPARAMS.DAT. Any ADD_ values you place in MODPARAMS.DAT are in addition to the values DECwindows Motif places in its NEWPARAMS.DAT file. To determine the number of contiguous free global pages and the number of free global sections, enter the WRITE command with the F$GETSYI lexical function. If possible, use this command at a time of peak load for these two resources. The following example shows how to obtain this information at your terminal, which is the default for SYS$OUTPUT: $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("CONTIG_GBLPAGES") 15848 $ WRITE SYS$OUTPUT F$GETSYI("FREE_GBLSECTS") 24 3.5.3 Setting the Size of the Page File In order for DECwindows Motif to run with acceptable performance, the page file must be large enough to handle the virtual memory requirements of your system. The optimal size of the page file depends on many factors, such as the amount of physical memory on the system and the application workload. 3-10 After Installing the Software 3.5 System Maintenance Procedures Normally, you should run AUTOGEN with feedback and let AUTOGEN calculate the size of the page file based on the usage pattern on your system. To run AUTOGEN with feedback, enter the following DCL command: $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS REBOOT FEEDBACK You can also increase the size of the page file by running the SYSGEN utility or by invoking the command procedure SYS$UPDATE:SWAPFILES.COM. For more information about setting the size of the page file and running AUTOGEN, see the section about the AUTOGEN utility in the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual and the AUTOGEN section in HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual. For more information about performance tuning in general, see the OpenVMS Performance Management manual. 3.5.4 Changing System Parameter Values Using the AUTOGEN Utility If you find it necessary to adjust system parameters, use the AUTOGEN utility. AUTOGEN automatically adjusts values for parameters that are associated with the values you reset manually. To change system parameters with AUTOGEN, edit the file SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT. To change a parameter value listed in this file, delete the current value associated with that parameter and enter the new value. To make incremental adjustments to parameters, such as global pages and global sections, add a line to the file and include both the name of the parameter (with the prefix ADD_) and its value. The following example increases the global pages value by 30,000: ADD_GBLPAGES = 30000 After you enter all your changes, exit from the file and execute the AUTOGEN utility to recalculate your system parameters. Enter the following command to recalculate your system parameters and reboot the system: $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT 3-11 After Installing the Software 3.5 System Maintenance Procedures When you specify REBOOT, the AUTOGEN utility performs an automatic system shutdown and then reboots the system. Any users logged in to the system are immediately disconnected during the shutdown. The automatic reboot puts the new parameter values into effect. For details about using AUTOGEN, see the section about the AUTOGEN utility in the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual and the AUTOGEN section in HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual. 3-12 4 _________________________________________________________________ Managing DECwindows Motif Software After you install the DECwindows Motif product, you can tune your system to enhance performance, decrease the use of some system resources, and specify certain server settings. This chapter contains information about setting up your DECwindows Motif environment. See HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Management Guide and HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS New Features for additional system management information. The following topics are discussed in this chapter: o Section 4.1, Customizing the DECwindows X Display Server Startup Procedure o Section 4.2, Adding DECwindows Base-Support Files o Section 4.3, Determining and Reporting Problems 4.1 Customizing the DECwindows X Display Server Startup Procedure The DECwindows X display server manages the graphics devices on your workstation, such as the screen, keyboard, and mouse. The initial startup command procedures determine most of the configuration parameters for the DECwindows X11 Display Server automatically. However, the command procedures cannot determine some items, such as the layout of the keyboard, appropriate network transport, or which X server extensions to enable (such as, XINERAMA, SECURITY, or XKB). You can specify additional display server settings by modifying the server startup file as follows: 1. Make a copy of the file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_ SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE and rename it to SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM. This server startup file shows how to customize individual 4-1 Managing DECwindows Motif Software 4.1 Customizing the DECwindows X Display Server Startup Procedure workstations by adding a section of DCL commands for each workstation. 2. Edit the file to add or change the desired setup options in either of two sections (Cluster Common or Standalone Workstation) in the server startup file. Details on these options are available from the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Management Guide and within the file itself. If you add a workstation-specific option, you must also update the variable node_list. 3. Restart DECwindows Motif on the workstations for which you customized the server startup using the following command: $ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP RESTART 4.2 Adding DECwindows Base-Support Files If you previously chose not to install or if you removed the DECwindows base-support software, use the PRODUCT RECONFIGURE command to reconfigure the operating system and specifying that you want DECwindows Motif support. 4.3 Determining and Reporting Problems If you encounter a problem while using DECwindows Motif, report it to HP. Review the related Software Product Description (SPD) for an explanation of warranty. If you encounter a problem during the warranty period, you can take one of the following actions: o Call your HP support representative if your software contract or warranty agreement entitles you to telephone support. o If you discover a problem with or have comments about the documentation, print or edit the online form SYS$HELP:OPENVMSDOC_COMMENTS.TXT and send us your comments by Internet, fax, or mail.

B-1 Software Components and Version Checking B.2 Checking the Version of Installed Images B.2 Checking the Version of Installed Images At times you may need to verify the combination of software components and versions that are installed on a particular system. Use one or more of the following command procedures (available from the SYS$UPDATE directory) to check the versions of layered product images currently installed on your system: o DECW$GET_IMAGE_VERSION.COM Extracts the image identification string from an image and places it into a user-defined symbol. B-2 Software Components and Version Checking B.2 Checking the Version of Installed Images o DECW$COMPARE_VERSIONS.COM Compares two image identification strings and assigns a value to a user-defined symbol with these possible results: - Facility codes do not match. - Identifiers are the same. - Second identifier is older than the first. - Second identifier is newer then the first. o DECW$VERSIONS.COM Displays the versions of several components of the DECwindows Motif layered product and the X display server. The DECW$VERSIONS.COM procedure uses the DECW$GET_IMAGE_VERSION.COM command procedure to obtain the image idents of each file. To display the versions of DECwindows images currently installed, enter the following command: $ @SYS$UPDATE:DECW$VERSIONS * The output from the command shows the image ident (DW), the version number, and the date the image was created. For example, the following result: DW V1.6-060108 shows the DECwindows Motif client (DW) image is at version 1.6 and was created on January 8, 2006.
