If you need to repeat the upgrade, delete the PATHWORKS Advanced Server database files created by the Upgrade utility, described in Appendix A, Files Created by the Upgrade Utility.


Chapter 6
Completing the Migration

6.1 Introduction

After you upgrade the PATHWORKS Advanced Server information, you can complete the migration. This section includes the following topics:

6.2 Scheduling an Interruption of Services

When you install the PATHWORKS Advanced Server, it will shut down the PATHWORKS LAN Manager server and replace PATHWORKS V5 LAN Manager images with PATHWORKS Advanced Server images. Therefore, you must schedule downtime on the server prior to installation to avoid an unexpected interruption of services.

6.3 Before You Install the PATHWORKS Advanced Server Software

PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides a Roll Back procedure that allows you to restore the PATHWORKS LAN Manager server database if the server is not upgraded properly. To enable the Roll Back procedure, you must answer Yes to the following prompt during the VMSINSTAL procedure:


Do you want to preserve the V5 (LAN Manager) environment [Yes]?  Yes 

The system will prompt you for a location to store the saveset the procedure will create. The Roll Back procedure needs this saveset to restore the LAN Manager environment.

Refer to the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide for more information on the VMSINSTAL procedure.

6.4 Installing and Starting the PATHWORKS Advanced Server Software

After you have upgraded server information, you can install and configure the PATHWORKS Advanced Server software.

Start the PATHWORKS Advanced Server using the
SYS$STARTUP:PWRK$STARTUP.COM procedure, also described in the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS Server Installation and Configuration Guide.

6.4.1 Starting PDCs

After completing the installation and configuration, make sure you start the PATHWORKS Advanced Server on the PDC first.

6.4.2 Starting BDCs

After completing the installation and configuration, follow these steps:

  1. On the domain PDC, remove this PDC's listenname (computer name). Or, if the node is a member of a VMScluster, remove the PATHWORKS cluster alias name from the SERVERS group, if present.
    If you do not remove the BDC's listenname from the SERVERS group on the PDC, the PDC will log the following warning message:


     
    NetLogon has detected two machine accounts for server 
    <servername>.  The server can be either a Windows NT Server that 
    is a member of the domain or the server can be a LAN Manager 
    server with an account in the SERVERS global group.  It cannot 
    be both." 
    

    If the BDC was previously a PATHWORKS LAN Manager BDC or member server in this domain, a special user account (often referred to as the machine account) is created and made a member of the SERVERS group. This account is used for account replication purposes. Now that the server is running PATHWORKS Advanced Server, a different method of domain membership is utilized. To allow the PATHWORKS Advanced Server BDC to operate properly in the domain, you must remove this BDC's machine account from the SERVERS group on the PDC.
    For example, if the BDC computername is DOROTHY, and the PDC is running PATHWORKS Advanced Server, remove this name from the SERVERS group as follows:


    \\domain\server> MODIFY GROUP SERVERS/REMOVE=DOROTHY 
    

  2. Start PATHWORKS Advanced Server on the BDC.

6.5 Setting Up Licensing

To set up licensing for the PATHWORKS Advanced Server, follow these steps:

  1. Register and load client-access (PWLMXXXCA06.00) license PAKs, as described in the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
  2. Configure automatic license upgrade. (Optional)
  3. Use the License Manager to allocate licenses to clients or to server-based licensing, as described in the Advanced Server for OpenVMS Guide to Managing Advanced Server Licenses.

6.5.1 How to Configure Automatic License Upgrade

By default, the PATHWORKS license server does not perform license upgrades. To configure a PATHWORKS License Server to upgrade PATHWORKS LAN Manager licenses to PATHWORKS Advanced Server licenses, edit the PATHWORKS license server start-up command file SYS$STARTUP:PWRK$LICENSE_S_START.COM to include the following logical name definition:


$ DEFINE PWRK$LS_V6_ACCESS_UPGRADE  1 

Define this logical before the following command:


$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:PWRK$LICENSE_SERVER 

If the PWRK$LS_V6_ACCESS_UPGRADE logical is undefined or defined to be zero (0), the PATHWORKS license server will not upgrade licenses. If the PWRK$LS_V6_ACCESS_UPGRADE logical is defined to be any numeric value other than zero, clients requesting assignment or verification of PATHWORKS LAN Manager licenses will have their licenses upgraded to PATHWORKS Advanced Server licenses, provided sufficient PATHWORKS Advanced Server licenses exist.

When an upgrade operation occurs, the PATHWORKS license server logs both the assignment of the PATHWORKS Advanced Server license and the name of the license returned to the client to the following PATHWORKS license server log file:


PWRK$Logs:PWRK$License_Server_node-name.LOG 

Be aware that when an equivalent PATHWORKS Advanced Server license is returned to the client, the name of the license assigned (PWLMXXXCA06.00) will not match the name of the license returned to the client. For example, if a client requests assignment of a PWLMXXXFP05.00 license (a PATHWORKS LAN Manager license) from the PATHWORKS license server, the PATHWORKS license server will upgrade the request to a PATHWORKS Advanced Server license and assign a PWLMXXXCA06.00 license (assuming one is available). However, the name of the license returned to the client will be PWLMXXXFP06.00.

The reason for this difference is that the client will only accept licenses of the type requested (such as PWLMXXXFPmm.nn) with the requested or higher version number (that is, 05.00 or higher). To get the client to accept an equivalent PATHWORKS Advanced Server license, the PATHWORKS license server returns a different name than that assigned.

From the client's perspective, the license assigned is PWLMXXXFP06.00 and the client will accept that. From the PATHWORKS license server's perspective (as displayed by the PATHWORKS License Manager), the client was assigned a PWLMXXXCA06.00 license. For more information on the names of the licenses returned to clients due to upgrade operations, see the Advanced Server for OpenVMS Guide to Managing Advanced Server Licenses.
