Initializing or Configuring Installed Optional Components 



Initialize and/or configure any of the following products as necessary, following the instructions in the sections indicated:

Initializing CDSA (Optional)  

The Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA) software is installed automatically with the operating system. However, use of CDSA is not required. If you do not plan to use CDSA or any products that depend on it, skip to the next section.

If you do plan to use CDSA, you must invoke the following command to perform a one-time configuration procedure. Invoke the command from an account that has both SYSPRV and CMKRNL privileges (for example, the SYSTEM account).

$ @SYS$STARTUP:CDSA$INITIALIZE

The following is an example of the output you might:

NoteDo not attempt to remove CDSA from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for CDSA even though there appears to be an option to remove CDSA. CDSA is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Attempts to remove it do not work cleanly and could create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP I64VMS CDSA V2.1 is referenced 
   by HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.2-1
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this software dependency 
 -PCSI-E-HRDF2, if you override the recommendation to terminate the operation,
 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

For more information about CDSA, refer to HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 1: Common Data Security Architecture .

Configuring the Availability Manager Base Software (Optional)  

The Availability Manager base kit is installed automatically with the operating system. However, use of Availability Manager is not required. If you do not plan to use Availability Manager or any products that depend on it, skip to the next section.

The files in the Availability Manager base kit make up what is called the Data Collector. The Data Collector is used to collect data for the Availability Manager and DECamds products. To display the data, you need to install either an Availability Manager or a DECamds kit on a node in the local LAN. These kits are included in the OpenVMS upgrade media, or you can obtain them from the following Web site:

http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/availabilitymanager

The base kit files are the same files that have been provided with the OpenVMS installation kit since Version 7.2. The only change for OpenVMS Version 8.2 and higher is that these files are now installed as a required product rather than being an optional software product in the operating system kit. Procedures for configuring and using these files remain unchanged.

For more information about how to configure and use the files in the Availability Manager base kit, refer to the section "Performing Postinstallation Tasks" in the Availability Manager installation instructions for OpenVMS (Installing Availability Manager on OpenVMS Alpha Systems and Running DECamds and the Availability Manager Concurrently ). This and other Availability Manager documents, as well as DECamds documents, are available at the following Web site:

http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/availabilitymanager


NoteAlthough the Availability Manager base software can be removed from the system with the PRODUCT REMOVE command, HP recommends that you do not attempt to remove the software. The Availability Manager base software is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Attempts to remove it do not work cleanly and could create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP I64VMS Availability Manager V8.2-1 is referenced
   by HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.2-1
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this software dependency 
 -PCSI-E-HRDF2, if you override the recommendation to terminate the operation,
 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

Configuring Kerberos (Optional)  

The Kerberos for OpenVMS software, which is based on MIT Kerberos, is automatically installed with the operating system. However, use of Kerberos is not required. If you do not plan to use Kerberos or any products that depend on Kerberos, skip to the next section.

To configure Kerberos, perform the following steps from a privileged OpenVMS user account (for example, SYSTEM).

  1. Run the following command procedure to configure the Kerberos clients and servers:
       $ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$CONFIGURE.COM
  2. Add the following line to your SYLOGIN command procedure or to the LOGIN.COM of each user who will use Kerberos:
       $ @SYS$MANAGER:KRB$SYMBOLS
  3. Edit SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to remove the exclamation point from the KRB$STARTUP.COM line so that it appears as shown in the following example. (Note that SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM has HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS starting before Kerberos. This is required.)
       $ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$STARTUP.COM

For additional setup and configuration information, refer to the HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 3: Kerberos manual. This document contains links to the MIT Kerberos documentation and is available from the OpenVMS Version 8.2-1 kit.


NoteDo not attempt to remove Kerberos from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for Kerberos even though there appears to be an option to remove Kerberos. Kerberos is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Attempts to remove it do not work cleanly and could create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP I64VMS Kerberos V2.1 is referenced
   by HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.2-1
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this software dependency 
 -PCSI-E-HRDF2, if you override the recommendation to terminate the operation,
 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

Initializing and Running the Performance Data Collector Base Software (Optional)  

The Performance Data Collector for HP OpenVMS (TDC) collects and manages configuration and performance data for analysis by other applications. TDC_RT Version 2.1 is a run-time only (base) variant of the TDC software that is automatically installed with the OpenVMS operating system for use on specific operating system platforms.

Use of the TDC_RT software is not required. If you do not plan to use TDC_RT or any products that depend on it, you can skip to the next section.

TDC_RT does not run automatically when the system starts, but any suitably privileged user can start the software manually. This section includes information about system parameters, privileges and quotas, startup, and installation in OpenVMS Clusters.


NoteDo not attempt to remove TDC_RT from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for TDC_RT even though there appears to be an option to remove it. TDC_RT is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. HP or third-party applications might require TDC_RT. Attempts to remove it do not work cleanly and could create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:
%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP TDC_RT V2.1-nn is referenced 
   by HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.2-1
 -PCSI-E-HRDRF1, the two products are tightly bound by this
   software dependency 
 -PCSI-E-HRDF2, if you override the recommendation to terminate the operation,
 -PCSI-E-HRDF3, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing
 -PCSI-E-HRDF4, product may no longer function correctly; please review
 -PCSI-E-HRDF5, dependency requirements for the referencing product
 Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

User Privileges and Quotas 

Users of TDC_RT require various privileges, depending on the types of data to be collected. Online help is available when running the collector application and specifies the privileges required to collect each type of data. Enabling the following set of privileges allows collection of all data items: CMKRNL, LOG_IO, NETMBX, PHY_IO, SYSLCK, SYSPRV, WORLD.

Users of the product also require working set quotas (WSQUO) greater than 5000 pagelets.

Startup File 

TDC_RT provides a startup file that should be invoked during system startup. The startup file defines several logical names required for use of the product, but the startup file does not actually start the data collector.

Add the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:

   $ @SYS$STARTUP:TDC$STARTUP

To directly run TDC$STARTUP.COM, SYSNAM privilege is required.

Running TDC_RT 

To run the collector application, users can enter the TDC command at the DCL prompt. But first, because the TDC command is not included in the system command table SYS$LIBRARY:DCLTABLES.EXE, each user must add the command to their table by entering the following command at the DCL prompt:

   $ SET COMMAND SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC$DCL

Each user can add this SET command to their LOGIN.COM file. However, because elevated privileges are required for most data collection operations, it might not be appropriate to add this command to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM.

To start the collector application, invoke the TDC command:

$ TDC

For more information about running the application, refer to the file SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC_RT_README.TXT. Release notes are located in the file SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC_RELEASE_NOTES.TXT. Refer to both of these files before running the collector application.

Installation in OpenVMS Clusters  

TDC_RT is installed in SYS$COMMON:[TDC] by default. Included are only those files required to run the data collector with the particular operating system version it was distributed with. Once TDC_RT is installed and SYS$STARTUP:TDC$STARTUP.COM has been run on each cluster member, then all cluster members in a single-version, single-architecture OpenVMS Cluster should be able to run the software.

For mixed-version and mixed-architecture clusters, you should obtain and install a complete Performance Data Collector kit (TDC Version 2.1) from the following Web site:

http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/tdc

The complete kit provides an SDK and run-time environments for all supported OpenVMS configurations. It supports installation on a clusterwide basis in mixed-version and mixed-architecture OpenVMS Clusters.

Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station (Optional)  

If you installed the OpenVMS Management Station software on your system (either by accepting all default values or by selecting the component manually during the installation or upgrade procedure), you must perform several tasks on your OpenVMS system and your PC before you can use OpenVMS Management Station. These tasks include the following:

For complete information about preparing your OpenVMS system and your PC to run the OpenVMS Management Station server and client software, refer to Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station.
