When your system meets all the hardware and software requirements, you can install the DAS for OMNI software. The installation takes from 5 to 10 minutes, depending on system load and configuration.

Install the DAS for OMNI software using the following steps:

1. Log in to a privileged system manager's account.
2. Set the default directory to SYS$UPDATE:

   $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE

3. Invoke VMSINSTAL:

   $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DCM_OMNIVVA034 DDCU:

   
   where:

   • DCM_OMNIVVA034 argument is the kit name
   • 034 portion of the name is the version number
   • ddcu argument represents the name of the device on which the installation media is mounted, where:
     • dd is the device code
     • c is the controller designation
     • u is the unit number

VMSINSTAL prompts you for information during the installation. The following is an example of the output from the installation.

The installation procedure has no further questions to ask and will complete in 2 to 10 minutes depending on the system and system load. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The configuration template file for OMNI support, DCM_OMNI_CONFIG.TEMPLATE, is used to define the OMNI paths, types, and devices. Edit this file, as necessary, to reflect your specific site configuration. During installation it will be placed in the directory BCC$SYSDATA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The startup file for ILAN$DEVSRV, ILAN$SYSTEM_STARTUP.COM must be modified in order to use the DAS for OMNI Software. This installation provides a substitute template for this file called ILAN$SYSTEM_STARTUP.TEMPLATE with modified privileges and quotas. After installation, edit this file as necessary to match your site requirements. Be sure to restore this edited file when upgrading BASEstar Classic software to a new version. During installation it will be placed in the directory BCC$SYSDATA. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A utility to show the configuration of all OMNI devices, DCM_OMNI$SHOW_DEVICE.COM is provided with this DAS. This utility extracts definitions from the BASEstar Classic database as well as from ODS and allows you to see the configuration of all your OMNI devices. During installation it will be placed in the directory BCC$SYSTEM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Now linking ILAN_OMNI shared image...
