The following sections contain requirements for hardware, software, OpenVMS classes, installation account and backup.
2.1.1 Back Up Your System Disk
Perform a backup of your system disk before installing any software.
Use the backup procedures that have been established at your site. See
the OpenVMS System Managers Manual: Essentials and the
OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manuals in the
OpenVMS operating system documentation for more information.
2.1.2 Hardware Requirements
The Enterprise Integration Packages support all valid OpenVMS Alpha CPU configurations.
The Enterprise Integration Server for OpenVMS License Package products require 64 MB of memory, 525MB (1.05 M blocks) of disk space during installation, and 512MB (1 M blocks) of disk space after installation.
Netscape Navigator requires a video display equipped with at least 256
colors. Video displays with fewer than 8-bit graphics boards, such as
4-plane graphic cards that display 16 colors, are not supported.
2.1.3 Software Requirements
Enterprise Integration Packages components are fully supported only on
OpenVMS Alpha 7.1. DIGITAL strongly recommends that you upgrade to this
version. However, for customers not able to upgrade, limited testing in
a mixed OpenVMS Alpha 7.1 and OpenVMS Alpha 6.2 environment has been
done. See the individual component SPDs or installation guides for
components that support other versions of OpenVMS.
2.1.3.1 DECwindows Motif Language Variants
If you plan to install and operate the DECwindows Motif Language variants with OpenVMS Alpha 6.2, you will need an update to the LMF group tables. This update is included in the patch kit ALPLMF01_062.
The patch kit may be obtained at http://www.service.digital.com. Search
for the filename ALPLMF01_062, or contact your DIGITAL representative.
2.1.4 Installation Account Requirements
Install the products from an installation account with:
| Parameter | R2.0 Value | R1.1 Value |
|---|---|---|
| ASTLM | 250 | 250 |
| BIOLM | 150 | 150 |
| BYTLM | 64000 | 64000 |
| DIOLM | 150 | 150 |
| ENQLM | 2048 | 2048 |
| FILLM | 300 | 300 |
| PRCLM | 3 | 3 |
| PGFLQUOTA | 65000 | 25600 |
| WSEXTENT | 16384 | 16384 |
| TQELM | 200 | 200 |
| WSDEF | 2000 | 2000 |
| WSQUO | 4000 | 4000 |
| MAXJOBS | 0 | 0 |
| MAXACCTJOBS | 0 | 0 |
| MAXDETACH | 0 | 0 |
| SHRFILLM | 0 | 0 |
| PBYTLM | 0 | 0 |
| JTQUOTA | 4096 | 4096 |
The file SYSUAF.DAT contains user account quotas. Use the OpenVMS Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE) to verify and change user account quotas. First set your directory to SYS$SYSTEM and then run AUTHORIZE:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM $ RUN AUTHORIZE UAF> |
At the (UAF) prompt, enter the SHOW command with an account name to check a particular account. For example:
UAF> SHOW SYSTEM |
To change a quota, enter the MODIFY command. The following example changes the FILLM quota for the SYSTEM account and then exits from the utility:
UAF> MODIFY SYSTEM /FILLM=50 UAF> EXIT |
After you exit from the utility, the system displays messages indicating whether or not changes were made. Once the changes have been made, you must log out and log in again for the new quotas to take effect.
For more information on modifying account quotas, refer to the
description of the Authorize Utility in the OpenVMS System Management
Documentation Subkit.
2.1.6 OpenVMS Class Requirements
The Enterprise Integration Packages-related components require that you have installed all the OpenVMS default classes.
