Installation of CDSA
on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1
CDSA Version 1.0 is automatically installed when you install
OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1. However, you can install and run CDSA
Version 2.0. The following sections provide important setup and
initialization information for whichever version of CDSA you use.
CDSA Version 2.0 Setup and Initialization If you want to run CDSA Version 2.0 on OpenVMS Version 7.3-1,
you must manually install the CDSA Version 2.0 kit, which is included
on the OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 media. Use the following command to
install CDSA Version 2.0 on a Version 7.3-1 system:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL CDSA /SOURCE=disk:[directory]
Before you can use CDSA Version 2.0, you must perform the
following manual procedure, for which you must have SYSPRV privileges.
Execute the following command to initialize CDSA Version 2.0:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$UPGRADE
This procedure automatically runs CDSA$INITIALIZE. It is not
necessary to rerun any initialization procedure when the system
is rebooted; therefore, you do not need to add the initialization
to the OpenVMS startup procedures.
The CDSA$UPGRADE procedure can take a few minutes, depending
on your processor and disk speeds. When the procedure is run interactively,
you will see system messages similar to the following:
CDSA Version
1.0 Setup and Initialization Although CDSA Version 1.0 is automatically installed as part
of OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-1, setup and initialization of CDSA
are not. Before you can use CDSA Version 1.0, you must perform the
following manual procedure, for which you must have SYSPRV privilege.
Enter the following command to initialize CDSA Version 1.0:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$INITIALIZE
During initialization, CDSA checks to see whether the CDSA_SYSDIR:[CDSAFFDB]
and CDSA_SYSDIR:[REGISTRY...] directories are both present. If one
is missing, CDSA outputs the following message:
The existing CDSA configuration on this system is corrupt.
If this occurs, you can recover by deleting both directories
and rerunning the CDSA initialization procedure. However, you will
lose any CDSA information that has already been stored.
It is not necessary to rerun the initialization procedure
when the system is rebooted; therefore, you do not need to add the
initialization to the OpenVMS startup procedures.
The CDSA$INITIALIZE procedure can take 5 minutes or longer,
depending on your processor and disk speeds. When the procedure
is run interactively, you will see system messages similar to the
following:
When a new version of CDSA is installed (for example, in an
upgrade from a field test version to a production version, or an
upgrade to a new version of OpenVMS), the CDSA upgrade procedure
must be run. (See
CDSA Version 2.0 Setup and Initialization.)
Any CDSA application should be shut down before you run the initialization
or upgrade procedure.
Warning Against Uninstalling CDSA from OpenVMS
Alpha Version 7.3-1 or Higher The POLYCENTER Software Installation utility command PRODUCT
REMOVE is not supported for CDSA on OpenVMS
Alpha Version 7.3-1 or higher, even though there is an apparent
option to remove CDSA. (This option is due to the use of the POLYCENTER
Software Installation utility in the installation.) CDSA is installed
together with the operating system and is tightly bound with it.
An attempt to remove it from Version 7.3-1 or higher would not work
cleanly and could create other undesirable side effects. An attempt
to remove CDSA results in the following message:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product CPQ AXPVMS CDSA Vx.x is
referenced by DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3-2
-PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound
by this software dependency
