To allow clients that are configured for WINS support to use an Advanced Server alias name to connect to a clustered Advanced Server across a WAN, you must add to the WINS database a static multihomed entry for the Advanced Server alias name.
When adding the static multihomed entry for the Advanced Server alias name, you should enter the TCP/IP address of each node in the OpenVMS Cluster that is running the Advanced Server.
For more information about adding static entries to the WINS database, refer to your WINS product documentation.
You can configure the Advanced Server as a DNS client. This allows the Advanced Server to use a DNS server for NetBIOS name resolution. The Advanced Server uses DNS for name resolution as a last resort if all other methods fail to resolve a NetBIOS name.
DNS name resolution is not provided as a replacement for WINS and/or LMHOSTS but rather as a supplement to them. With DNS, the Advanced Server still uses WINS, LMHOSTS, or broadcast methods for resolving names. |
For more information on how to use the Configuration Manager to configure the Advanced Server to use DNS, refer to the Compaq Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Administrator's Guide.
This chapter describes how to remove Advanced Server for OpenVMS software from your system.
If you have to reinstall the Advanced Server for OpenVMS software, you might first need to remove the Advanced Server for OpenVMS software.
For example, if the Installation Verification Procedure indicated that the software installation procedure failed, you must reinstall the software. But first you might need to remove the Advanced Server software.
For more information about disk space requirements, see Section 1.8.9, Step 9: Check Disk Space Requirements.
This chapter consists of the following sections:
You remove the Advanced Server using the PRODUCT REMOVE command. The removal procedure performs the following operations:
When you remove the Advanced Server data files, the removal procedure will remove the server configuration parameters that are stored as values, and their keys, from the OpenVMS Registry.
To complete this operation, the removal procedure:
To start the removal procedure and remove Advanced Server for OpenVMS software:
$ PRODUCT REMOVE ADVANCEDSERVER |
Table 7-1, PRODUCT REMOVE Prompts, tells you how to respond to the prompts that the removal procedure displays.

Advanced Server is removed.
Save clean up tools? [YES] NO [Return]
If PCSI provided the image SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]NETBIOS.EXE
and does not know of another product also using that image,
then PCSI will remove that image. It is possible another
program uses that image but PCSI does not know about it.
This procedure can save the image so you can restore it
in case it is needed. Several related files are also saved.

any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency
requirements.
CPQ AXPVMS ADVANCEDSERVER V7.3: Advanced Server for OpenVMS
Copyright 2000 Compaq Computer Corporation
Advanced Server is sold by Compaq Computer Corporation
Advanced Server requires PAK PWLMXXXCA07.03 for each client.
This installation procedure requires that all the following
conditions are satisfied:
1. This procedure is running on an Alpha processor.
2. The system is running OpenVMS 7.2 or later.
3. All required privileges are currently enabled.
4. No PATHWORKS or Advanced Server images are running
on this node or anywhere in the cluster.
5. No files from a PATHWORKS (NetWare) kit are present
on this system disk.
6. No files from any Pathworks or Advanced Server kit
are in SYS$SPECIFIC on this system disk.
This procedure checks if the conditions are satisfied.
If they are satisfied, the procedure continues. If not,
the procedure stops.
Do you want to continue? [YES] [Return]
Select one of the numbered options:
1 Install the complete Advanced Server [default]
2 Install only the License Server
3 Install only the external authentication images
4 Install both the License Server and the
external authentication images
Option: [1] [Return]
This node contains a PWRK$STREAMSOS_V*.EXE execlet from a previous kit
loaded into memory.
A node that will not run this product does not have to be rebooted.
A node that did not run a previous version of this product does not
have to be rebooted. Only nodes that ran a previous version and
will run the new version must be rebooted.
Depending on the existing configuration and the desired configuration
of a node it might be necessary to reboot a node before it can be
configured, after it has been configured, or both. Both is rare.
For complete information about the reasons a reboot might be
necessary and how to avoid unnecessary reboots, see the Installation
and Configuration Guide.
Select an option:
1. Delay reboot as long as possible on all nodes. [default]
2. Prevent PWRK$CONFIG configuration on any node using this system
disk until after reboot.
3. Prevent PWRK$CONFIG configuration on all nodes until after reboot.
4. Prevent startup on any node using this system disk until after
reboot.
5. Prevent startup on all nodes until after reboot.
Option: [1] [Return]
User Accounts and User Identification Codes (UICs)
--------------------------------------------------
The Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS installation creates two
OpenVMS accounts: a default account, PWRK$DEFAULT, and a guest
account, PWRK$GUEST. The default UIC group number for both
these new accounts depends on the following:
o If you are installing the server for the first time, the
default is the first unused UIC group number, starting
with 360.
o If a PCFS$ACCOUNT already exists, the default is
the UIC group number associated with PCFS$ACCOUNT.
o If a PWRK$DEFAULT or PWRK$GUEST account already exists,
the default is the UIC group number associated with
PWRK$DEFAULT or PWRK$GUEST, in preference to PCFS$ACCOUNT.
However, the default UIC group number will not be used to
change the UIC of any existing accounts.
For more information about UIC group numbers, see the
OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
Enter default UIC group number for
PWRK$DEFAULT and PWRK$GUEST
Group: [360] [Return]

Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS Configuration Procedure
The Advanced Server stores and accesses the following
types of data files:
o Configuration parameter files
o License Server data files
o Log files
o Printer spool files
o Virtual memory section files
You can specify any existing OpenVMS disk device that has at least
85,000 free blocks of disk space to store these data files.
Note: The server frequently accesses the data files stored on the
disk. If these files are stored on the system disk, it can degrade
the performance of both the OpenVMS system and the server. Therefore,
Compaq recommends that you specify a disk other than the system disk.
Press RETURN to continue:
If this OpenVMS cluster has multiple system disks, make sure that all
nodes on which you plan to run the Advanced Server:
o Use the same disk device to store and access Advanced Server
data files.
o Share the same SYSUAF.DAT file. In each system disk's startup file,
define a system logical name that points all nodes to the shared
SYSUAF.DAT file. For example:
$ define/system/exec sysuaf pencil$dka300:[sys0.sysexe]sysuaf.dat
The startup file is called SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM

SPEEDY is currently configured to
+ support 20 PC clients
+ use the following transport(s): DECnet
If you want this server to be the primary domain controller, you
should configure it to use all the transports used by the backup
domain controllers and member servers in the domain.
If you want this server to be a backup domain controller or
member server, you should configure it to have at least one
transport in common with the domain's primary domain controller,
otherwise this configuration will fail.
If you do not change the configuration parameters now, you may do
so later by typing ADMIN/CONFIG.
