You can install DECram for OpenVMS on OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.1 and subsequent versions, and on OpenVMS VAX Version 6.1 and subsequent versions. Your bill of materials (BOM) and indented bills report (BIL) specify the contents of your kit. Be sure to verify the contents of your kit with this information. If your kit is damaged or if parts of it are missing, contact your Compaq representative. DECram for OpenVMS provides online release notes. Compaq recommends that you read the release notes before proceeding with the installation. To access the online release notes, see Chapter 2. License Registration You must register and load your license for DECram for OpenVMS before you start the installation. This will allow you to run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) and use the software after the installation completes. Log in to the system manager's account, SYSTEM, to register a license. You then have a choice of two ways to perform the registration: o Invoke the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. When it prompts you for information, respond with data from your License Product Authorization Key (PAK). o At the DCL prompt, enter the LICENSE REGISTER command with the appropriate qualifiers that correspond to License PAK information. Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS 1-1 Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS License Registration ________________________ Note ________________________ If you plan to use DECram for OpenVMS on more than one node in an OpenVMS Cluster system, you will need to load a license, register it, and install DECram for OpenVMS on the other nodes as well. ______________________________________________________ For complete information on using the License Management Facility (LMF), see the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual. Installation Procedure Requirements This section and those that follow discuss various requirements for installing DECram for OpenVMS. The installation takes approximately 15 minutes, depending on your type of media and your system configuration. Privileges and Disk Space To install DECram for OpenVMS, you must be logged in to an account that has SETPRV or at least the following privileges enabled: o CMKRNL o WORLD o SYSPRV Note that VMSINSTAL disables BYPASS privilege at the start of the installation. The requirements of DECram for OpenVMS for free disk storage space are different during installation and after installation. Table 1-1 summarizes the storage requirements. 1-2 Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure Requirements Table_1-1_Disk_Space_Requirements__________________________ Blocks During Blocks After Kit______________Installation__________Installation________ DECram for 2500 1655 OpenVMS Version 2.3________________________________________________________ To determine the number of free disk blocks on the system disk, enter the following command at the DCL prompt: $ SHOW DEVICE SYS$SYSDEVICE System Parameters To install DECram for OpenVMS on an OpenVMS Alpha or on an OpenVMS VAX operating system, you do not need to change the default system parameter settings. ________________________ Note ________________________ Using DECram for OpenVMS on an OpenVMS VAX system requires that you increase the number of System Page Table Entries (SPTEs) and also increase the system parameter SPTREQ. The following sections contain information on how to perform these functions. ______________________________________________________ Increasing System Page Table Entries (SPTEs)(VAX Only) The number of SPTEs is determined by the size of the DECram disk to be created. All SPTEs must be available contiguously or the configuration procedure will fail. Additional SPTEs for a DECram disk can be created by increasing the size of the system parameter SPTREQ. Use the following algorithm to determine the SPTREQ increase: (Size of DECram disk in blocks + 127)/128 + 128 = SPTREQ increase For example, the following algorithm determines that an SPTREQ increase of 207 is required for a DECram disk of 10,000 blocks: ((10,000+127)/128)+128 = 207 Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS 1-3 Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure Requirements Increasing the System Parameter SPTREQ (VAX Only) If the current value of SPTREQ is inadequate for a given disk, the system must be rebooted to allow for a larger value. Therefore, Compaq recommends that you increase the SPTREQ value to a multiple of 128. Consequently, the increase for this example should be 256; the amount of memory wasted would be negligible. To increase SPTREQ by 256, edit the file SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSEXE]MODPARAMS.DAT and add the following line: ADD_SPTREQ 256 You must then run the command procedure AUTOGEN.COM using the following command: $ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT The SPTREQ value now includes the increase required for the DECram disk. If more than one DECram disk is created, use the algorithm to determine the initial SPTREQ increase for each disk, then increase each initial value to a multiple of 128. The sum of the individual SPTREQ increases is the total amount required to accommodate all the disks. VMSINSTAL Requirements When you invoke the VMSINSTAL command procedure, it verifies the following, all of which are transparent: o The default device and directory are set to SYS$UPDATE. o The installer is logged in to a privileged account. o Adequate quotas for installation have been set. VMSINSTAL requires that the installation account has a minimum of the following quotas: ASTLM = 24 BIOLM = 18 BYTLM = 18,000 DIOLM = 18 ENQLM = 30 FILLM = 20 Use the OpenVMS Authorize utility (AUTHORIZE) to check the values of these quotas for the installation account. 1-4 Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure Requirements o No other users are logged in to the system. If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation, it notifies you and asks if you want to continue the installation. In some instances, you can enter YES and press Return to continue. To stop the installation process and correct the situation, enter NO or press Return. Then correct the problem and restart the installation. Backing Up Your System Disk At the beginning of the installation, VMSINSTAL asks if you have backed up your system disk. Compaq recommends that you perform a system disk backup before installing any software. Use the backup procedures that are established at your site. For details on performing an OpenVMS Alpha system disk backup, see the OpenVMS Alpha Upgrade and Installation Manual. For details on performing an OpenVMS VAX system disk backup, see the processor-specific upgrade and installation supplement for your system. Preparing to Install DECram for OpenVMS 1-5 2 _________________________________________________________________ Installing DECram for OpenVMS This chapter explains how to install DECram for OpenVMS, and includes information on the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) and installation messages. Installation Procedure The DECram for OpenVMS installation procedure consists of a series of questions and informational messages. See the sample installation in Appendix A. To abort the installation procedure at any time, press Ctrl/Y. When you press Ctrl/Y, the installation procedure deletes all files it has created up to that point and exits. You can start the installation again at a later time. 1. Invoke VMSINSTAL. To start the installation, invoke the VMSINSTAL command procedure from a privileged account, such as the SYSTEM account. VMSINSTAL is in the SYS$UPDATE directory. $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL saveset-name device-name OPTIONS N The following list defines the elements of the VMSINSTAL command procedure: saveset-name The installation name for the component. For DECram for OpenVMS, use the following installation name: DECRAM device-name The name of the device on which you plan to mount the installation media. For example, MTA0: is the device name for some tape drives. It is not necessary to use the console drive for this installation. However, if you do use the console drive, once the installation Installing DECram for OpenVMS 2-1 Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure is complete you should return the console media to the console drive. OPTIONS N An optional parameter that indicates you want to see the question on release notes. If you do not include the OPTIONS N parameter, VMSINSTAL does not ask you about the release notes. You should review the release notes before proceeding with the installation. If you are restarting the installation and have already reviewed the release notes, you do not need to specify OPTIONS N. There are several other options you can select when you invoke VMSINSTAL: o Auto_answer option (A): Initially creates a file that contains your answers to VMSINSTAL questions and prompts. You can then use the option (and the answer file) to save time during a reinstallation. o Get save-set option (G): Lets you store product save sets temporarily on a magnetic tape or in a disk directory. o File log option (L): Logs all activity to the terminal during installation. o Alternate root option (R): Lets you install the product to a system root other than that of the running system. If you specify more than one option, separate the options with commas and no spaces. The following example invokes VMSINSTAL to install DECram for OpenVMS from tape drive MTA0: and shows the system response. This example uses the OPTIONS A auto-answer and the OPTIONS N release notes parameters. $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DECRAM MTA0: OPTIONS A,N VAX/VMS Software Product Installation Procedure V5.3 It is 15-Jul-1995 at 09:10. Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help. 2-2 Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure If you do not supply either the product name or the device name, VMSINSTAL prompts you for this information later in the installation procedure. 2. Confirm system disk backup. VMSINSTAL asks if you are satisfied with your system disk backup. You should back up your system disk before performing an installation. If you are satisfied with the backup of your system disk, press Return. Otherwise, enter NO to discontinue the installation. After you back up your system disk, you can restart the installation. * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? 3. Mount the media. You should now mount the distribution volume on the device you specified when you invoked VMSINSTAL. The device name appears in the line preceding the question. VMSINSTAL then asks you if you are ready to continue with the installation. If you respond YES to indicate that you are ready, VMSINSTAL displays a message that the media containing DECram for OpenVMS has been mounted on the specified device and that the installation has begun. If you entered the wrong device name when you invoked VMSINSTAL and need to restart the installation, enter NO in response to the "Are you ready?" question. To abort the installation for other reasons, press Ctrl/Y. Please mount the first volume of the set on MTA0:. * Are you ready? YES %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, DECRAM MOUNTED ON _$$MTA0: (NODE 1) The following products will be processed: DECRAM Beginning installation of DECRAM V2.2B at 09:12 %VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product saveset A... Installing DECram for OpenVMS 2-3 Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure 4. Select a release notes option. If you specified OPTIONS N, VMSINSTAL asks a question on release notes. You have four options for handling the release notes: Release notes included with this kit are always copied to SYS$HELP. Additional Release Notes Options: 1. Display release notes 2. Print release notes 3. Both 1 and 2 4. None of the above * Select option [2]: If you select option 1, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes immediately on the console terminal. You can terminate the display at any time by pressing Ctrl/C. If you select option 2, VMSINSTAL prompts you for the name of the print queue: * Queue name [SYS$PRINT]: You can press Return to send the file to the default output print device or you can enter another queue name. If you select option 3, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes immediately on the console terminal and then prompts you for a queue name for the printed version. Select option 4 if you have already reviewed the release notes and are restarting the installation. Next, VMSINSTAL displays the following question: * Do you want to continue the installation [N]?: YES %VMSINSTAL-I-RELMOVED, The product's release notes have been successfully moved to SYS$HELP. To continue the installation, enter YES. Otherwise, press Return. In either case, the release notes are copied to a file in the SYS$HELP directory: SYS$HELP:DECRAM.RELEASE_NOTES 5. Purge files. 2-4 Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure You can purge files from previous versions of DECram for OpenVMS that are superseded by this installation. Purging is recommended because it saves disk space; however, if you need to keep files from the previous version, enter NO in response to the question. * Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? 6. Choose the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) option. * Do you want to run the IVP after the installation [YES]? The installation procedure now asks if you want to run the IVP. The IVP for DECram for OpenVMS checks to verify that the installation is successful. Compaq recommends that you run the IVP. ________________________ Note ________________________ The IVP creates a DECram disk MDA0 that remains after the IVP completes. If you do not want this disk, do not run the IVP. ______________________________________________________ After DECram for OpenVMS is installed, you can run the IVP independently to verify that the software is available on your system. You may also need to run the IVP after a system failure to make sure that users can access DECram for OpenVMS. 7. Observe the Installation Verification Procedure. If you chose to run the IVP, VMSINSTAL runs it now. When the IVP runs successfully, you see the following display: Successful Termination of DECram V2.2 IVP. 8. The installation procedure ends. Installing DECram for OpenVMS 2-5 Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installation Procedure Installation of DECRAM V2.2B completed at 09:27 Enter the products to be processed from the next distribution volume set. * Products: exit VMSINSTAL procedure done at 09:27 The previous messages indicate that the installation procedure is complete. You can now log out of the privileged account: $ LOGOUT SYSTEM logged out at 15-Jul-1995 13:21.13 Note that VMSINSTAL deletes or changes entries in the process symbol tables during the installation. Log out and then log in to restore these symbols if you want to continue using the account from which you performed the installation. ________________________ Note ________________________ If you plan to use DECram for OpenVMS on more than one node in an OpenVMS Cluster, you must install DECram for OpenVMS on the other nodes as well. ______________________________________________________ DECram Installation Messages The following messages may be generated by the DECram for OpenVMS installation procedure. Missing License Message The installation procedure checks for the presence of the license to use DECram for OpenVMS. If the license is not found, the following message is sent: A license for DECRAM has not been registered and loaded. DECRAM will not be installed. License Registration describes how to register the DECram for OpenVMS license. 2-6 Installing DECram for OpenVMS Installing DECram for OpenVMS DECram Installation Messages DECram for OpenVMS Driver Already Installed Message If the installation procedure determines that the DECram for OpenVMS driver is already installed on the system, the following message is sent: A DECRAM Driver is already installed on the system. Compaq recommends that you reboot your system, rather than perform a SYSGEN RELOAD, to invoke DECram for OpenVMS. Installing DECram for OpenVMS 2-7 3 _________________________________________________________________ After Installing DECram for OpenVMS This section describes how to perform the following postinstallation optional tasks: o Run the IVP after installation (see Running the Installation Verification Procedure Separately). o Determine and report problems (see Determining and Reporting Problems). o Print out DECram for OpenVMS documentation (see DECram Documentation). Running the Installation Verification Procedure Separately You usually run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) during installation. If you want to run the IVP separately to ensure the integrity of installed files should system problems occur, execute the following command procedure: $ @SYS$UPDATE:DECRAM$IVP ________________________ Note ________________________ The IVP creates a DECram disk MDA0 that remains after the IVP completes. If you do not want this disk, do not run the IVP. ______________________________________________________ After Installing DECram for OpenVMS 3-1 After Installing DECram for OpenVMS Determining and Reporting Problems Determining and Reporting Problems If you encounter a problem while using DECram for OpenVMS, report it to Compaq.
