1.4.8 Installing DCE Version 3.0 Over Previous Versions

If you are installing DCE over an existing Compaq DCE for OpenVMS VAX or OpenVMS Alpha, perform the following steps:

1. Stop the DCE daemons with the following commands:

   $ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$SETUP CLEAN

   
   If you are installing DCE over an existing Compaq DCE for OpenVMS VAX or OpenVMS Alpha prior to Version 1.5, you do not need to complete the RPC shutdown step. The RPC shutdown is done automatically as part of the CLEAN operation in DCE$SETUP.COM. DCE$RPC_SHUTDOWN should be executed for DCE Version 1.5 only. As in prior versions, DCE$SETUP.COM in DCE Version 3.0 automatically shuts down RPC as part of a CLEAN, STOP, or CONFIG operation.

   $ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$RPC_SHUTDOWN

2. After the installation, enter the following command:

   $ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$SETUP START

This chapter describes the installation procedure for Compaq DCE for OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha.

You can use different media to install Compaq DCE. The examples in this chapter show the installation procedure using disk files.

See Appendix B for logs of sample installations.

2.1 About the OpenVMS Installation Procedure

This section gives a brief overview of the OpenVMS installation procedure for Compaq DCE Version 3.0 called DCE$INSTALL.COM. The OpenVMS installation command has the following format:

$ @DKA300:[000000]DCE$INSTALL [HELP]

where:

• DKA300: is a device name on which the distribution volumes will be mounted. Remember that all Alpha systems come with CD-ROM readers.
• DCE$INSTALL is the supplied command procedure that drives the installation.

It is not necessary to use the console drive to install DCE. If you do use the console drive, replace any media you remove from the drive.

Include the optional parameter HELP if you want PCSI to display help information.

When you invoke DCE$INSTALL, it checks the following conditions:

• Whether you are logged in to a privileged account. Install software from the system manager's account with your default device and directory set to SYS$UPDATE.
• Whether you have adequate quotas for installation. See Section 1.4.5 for more information on quota values.

You can stop the installation at any time by pressing Ctrl/C or Ctrl/Y. However, files created up to that point are not deleted. You must delete these files manually, using the OpenVMS DELETE command. Appendix A lists the files and directories created during the installation procedure.

2.2 Starting the Compaq DCE Installation Procedure

See Section 1.4.2 for more information about software requirements.

Start the installation procedure as follows:

1. Log in to the account from which you are installing the Compaq DCE.
2. If you are installing a kit other than the Runtime Services Kit, make sure you have registered the appropriate LMF PAK.
3. Invoke the following command procedure, substituting the correct name of your media device and directory for DKA300 (used in the example):

   $ @DKA300:[000000]DCE$INSTALL HELP

This section describes the part of the installation procedure that is specific to DCE.

$ @DKA300:[000000]dce$install help Performing DCE pre-installation tasks...please wait.

Creating a DCE$SERVER Account

If you do not already have a DCE$SERVER account, the installation procedure creates one for you with TMPMBX, NETMBX, DETACH, and SYSPRV privileges.

This installation procedure has detected an existing DCE$SERVER account. Correct operation of DCE on this system requires that the DCE$SERVER account have TMPMBX, NETMBX, DETACH and SYSPRV privileges. The installation procedure will modify the DCE$SERVER account to ensure that the prerequisite privileges are present. %UAF-I-MDFYMSG, user record(s) updated The following product has been selected: DEC AXPVMS DCE V3.0 Layered Product [Installed] Do you want to continue?

Installing Language Sensitive Editor (LSE) Templates for IDL

If you are installing DCE on a cluster on which the Language Sensitive Editor (LSE) is installed, the system or the user must have a license to run LSE in order for DCE to install the LSE templates for the Interface Definition Language (IDL) compiler. Type YES to the following question if you have a license to run LSE.

Load the Language-Sensitive Editor (LSE) templates for IDL? [Y]: NO NOTE: Please add the following to your system's SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM. These files define foreign commands for using DCE on OpenVMS. $ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$DEFINE_REQUIRED_COMMANDS.COM $ @SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]DCE$DEFINE_OPTIONAL_COMMANDS.COM

Selecting a TCP/IP Product

You are now asked to update SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM and choose a TCP/IP product.

Please add the following command to SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM on your system. This ensures that DCE$STARTUP.COM is executed at system boot. The parameters supplied to DCE$STARTUP.COM depend on the specific TCP/IP product you intend to use. You will now be asked to select the name of this TCP/IP product, and the installation will supply you with the correct command for SYS$STARTUP:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM. TCP/IP product Keyword Compaq's TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS UCX Multinet from TGV MULTINET Pathway from Wollongong PATHWAY TCPware from Process Software TCPWARE No TCP/IP Available at this time NONE Enter one of the keywords from the table above [UCX]:

2.4 Installing on a VMScluster

On a VMScluster with a common system disk, you need only install Compaq DCE once. After the initial installation, ensure that a separate license is registered and loaded on each cluster member that you plan to use for DCE services.

If you are installing DCE for OpenVMS over an existing version of DCE on a common system disk in a VMScluster environment, be sure to shut down DCE on all nodes that share the common system disk before the installation.

To configure each node separately, enter the following command on each node:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$SETUP.COM CONFIG

If you are installing Compaq DCE on a VMScluster that does not have a common system disk, you must install the software on each node and configure each node that you plan to use for DCE services.

This chapter describes postinstallation steps that you need to take and lists ways to recover from errors that you encounter during the installation.

3.1 Postinstallation Tasks

After the installation is completed successfully, note the following.

1. DCE Version 3.0 provides support for the RPC runtime environment and RPC applications (which are not dependent on DCE services) to remain active when DCE is shut down. This requires the use of separate startup files: SYS$STARTUP:DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM and SYS$STARTUP:DCE$STARTUP.COM.
   On OpenVMS VAX and Alpha Version 7.2 and higher, the RPC runtime environment files are shipped with the operating system. When installing DCE Version 3.0 on OpenVMS VAX and Alpha Version 6.2 through 7.1, DCE provides the RPC runtime environment files.
   On OpenVMS Version 7.2 and higher, the DCE installation may update the RPC files provided by the system if the DCE installation files are more recent.
   If you want all of the configured DCE services to start with the system startup, add the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM after the startup commands for the network transports, DECnet, and/or Compaq TCP/IP services:

   $ @SYS$STARTUP:DCE$STARTUP.COM

   
   If you want only the RPC runtime environment to start with the system startup, add the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:

   $ @SYS$STARTUP:DCE$RPC_STARTUP.COM

   
   It is not necessary to run both procedures. Invoking DCE$STARTUP.COM will first start the RPC Runtime, then the DCE services. See Chapter 4 for more information about configuring DCE.

2. Depending on your choice for system startup, add the following commands to SYS$MANAGER:SYSHUTDWN.COM before the shutdown commands for the network transports, DECnet, and/or DEC TCP/IP services:
   • If you have configured DCE services on your system:

     $ @SYS$STARTUP:DCE$SHUTDOWN.COM

     
     

   • If you have the RPC runtime environment only:

     $ @SYS$STARTUP:DCE$RPC_SHUTDOWN.COM NOCONFIRM

   
   If DCE$SHUTDOWN.COM is added to the system shutdown file, it will prompt you for a password before shutting down DCE. This will delay the shutdown until the password is specified.
3. Configure this node by entering the following command:

   $ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$SETUP CONFIG

   
   You must configure the DCE services before you can use them. See Chapter 5 for more information about configuring DCE.

4. If you are running DCE server applications that are listening over the DECnet Phase IV (ncacn_dnet_nsp) protocol or the DECnet/OSI (ncacn_dnet_nsp) protocol, you must grant the NET$DECLAREOBJECT rights identifier to those processes from which the server runs.
5. Define foreign commands. There are two foreign command definition files: one file contains required commands and the other file is optional. Add the following line to the file SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM:

   $ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$DEFINE_REQUIRED_COMMANDS.COM

   
   DCE$DEFINE_REQUIRED_COMMANDS.COM, the required command definition file, defines the following foreign commands:

   • acl_edit, which invokes the ACL editor (Security)
   • cdscp, which invokes the CDS control program
   • chpass, which invokes the DCE change password utility
   • dce$uaf, which invokes the DCE Integrated Login User Authorization File utility
   • dtscp, which invokes the DTS control program
   • dce$export, which invokes the DCE Integrated Login EXPORT utility
   • dce$import, which invokes the DCE Integrated Login IMPORT utility
   • dce_config, which invokes the DCE configuration utility
   • dce_setup, which invokes the DCE configuration utility
   • dcecp, which invokes the DCE control program
   • dtscp, which invokes the DCE Time Control program
   • dce_login, which validates a principal's identity and obtains network credentials (Security)
   • kdestroy, which destroys a principal's login context (Security)
   • kinit, which obtains a ticket-granting ticket (Security)
   • klist, which lists tickets (Security)
   • rgy_edit, which invokes the registry database editor (Security)
   • rpccp, which invokes the RPC Control Program
   • sec_admin, which invokes the DCE Security Administration utility
   
   If you choose not to execute this command definition file, you cannot use any of the previous programs and commands.
   DCE$DEFINE_OPTIONAL_COMMANDS.COM, the optional command definition file, is installed with the Application Development kit and defines the following foreign commands:
   • idl, which invokes the IDL compiler
   • rpclm, which invokes the RPC Log Manager
   • uuidgen, which invokes the UUID generator utility
   
   By default, these utilities use DCL-style interfaces. If you execute the optional foreign commands file, you have access to the version of these utilities that uses the universal interface. There are three possible actions that you can take:
   • Define the universal interface for all users on your system to ensure that the same interface is available to users across operating system platforms. Note that all examples that document these four utilities use the universal interface. Include the following line in the file SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM:

     $ @SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]DCE$DEFINE_OPTIONAL_COMMANDS.COM

   • Give users access to only the DCL-style interface. In this case, you do not need to take any action.
   • Make the DCL-style interface available to some users, but allow others access to the universal interface. Do not define the optional commands in SYLOGIN.COM. Tell users who want to use the universal interface to include the following line in their account's LOGIN.COM procedure:

     $ @SYS$COMMON:[DCE$LIBRARY]DCE$DEFINE_OPTIONAL_COMMANDS.COM

6. If you are installing DCE on a VMScluster, you must take the following steps:
   1. Ensure that a license is registered and loaded on each node in the cluster from which users plan to use DCE. (If you are installing only the Compaq DCE Runtime Services Kit, you already have a right to use the DCE Runtime Services Kit. This right was granted with the OpenVMS operating system license.)
   2. Configure each node in the cluster from which users plan to use DCE by entering the following command:

      $ @SYS$MANAGER:DCE$SETUP CONFIG

The following list describes errors that you may encounter during installation and provides suggestions about how to recover from those errors:

• You try to install the OpenVMS VAX kit on an OpenVMS Alpha system (or vice versa).
  Reinstall with the correct kit.
• The system does not have the required version of OpenVMS installed.
  Upgrade the operating system to at least the minimum required version and restart the installation procedure.
• You run out of disk space.
  Either clean up your disk or install less of the kit.
• If you plan to run DCE applications by IP, you must have UCX Version 4.2 installed.
  Install the correct version of UCX. The installation procedure checks for the prerequisites.
• No network transports were found.
  You must install and configure DECnet, UCX, or both before running any DCE applications.
• SYS$SYSTEM:RIGHTSLIST.DAT does not exist on this system.
  RUN AUTHORIZE and then issue the CREATE/RIGHTS command. RIGHTSLIST.DAT is created for you.
• Invalid UIC.
  Find and enter the correct UIC in the correct format.
