          following command:

               $ HELP FTSS RELEASE_NOTES <Return>

          __________________________________________________________________

   2.3    Disk Space Requirements

          The VAXft System Services software requires 500 blocks
          during the installation procedure, and 400 blocks of
          permanent disk space thereafter.

          These amounts refer to the disk space required on
          the system disk. The sizes are approximate; actual
          sizes may vary depending on your system environment,
          configuration, and software options.

          __________________________________________________________________

   2.4    Approximate Installation Time

          Installation of the VAXft System Services software kit
          takes approximately 15 minutes. The distribution media
          is a TK50 tape cartridge.

          __________________________________________________________________

   2.5    VMS License Management Facility

          The VMS License Management Facility (LMF) is available
          with Version 5.4 of the VMS operating system.
          The VAXft System Services software license must
          be registered with LMF. The license registration
          information is contained in the Product Authorization
          Key (PAK) that is shipped with the VAXft System
          Services software. The PAK is a paper certificate that
          contains license information which must be registered
          before you can run the VAXft System Services software.

          2-2

 


                                     Preinstallation Requirements



          During the installation, the installation procedure
          asks whether you have registered the VAXft System
          Services license and loaded the appropriate
          authorization key. In order to complete the
          installation and use the VAXft System Services
          software, you should register and load your license
          for the VAXft System Services software before you
          start the installation.

          To register the license under VMS Version 5.4, log
          into the system manager's account, SYSTEM. There are
          two options to perform the registration:

          o  Invoke the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure.
             When it prompts you for information, respond with
             the data from the PAK.

          o  On the DCL command line, issue the LICENSE REGISTER
             DCL command with the appropriate qualifiers that
             correspond to information on the PAK.

          For complete information on how to use LMF, see the
          VMS License Management Utility Manual.

   3      Installation Procedure




          You should be familiar with the VMSINSTAL Utility
          that you will use to install the VAXft System
          Services software. The VMS operating system has
          several requirements that you must meet when you
          use VMSINSTAL. If you are not familiar with these
          requirements, read the section on how to install
          software in the VMS System Manager's Guide to help
          ensure a successful installation.

          __________________________________________________________________

                                           Installation Procedure


          __________________________________________________________________

   3.2    VAXft System Services Installation

          Note: To abort the installation procedure at any time,
          press Ctrl/Y. When you press Ctrl/Y, the installation
          procedure deletes all of the files it has created up
          to that point and then returns you to the DCL level.
          If you want to retry the installation procedure after
          you press Ctrl/Y, you must repeat the installation
          procedure from the beginning.

          Note: For a complete sample installation dialogue, see
          Appendix A.

          To install the VAXft System Services software:

          1  Log into the SYSTEM account and set the default
             device and directory to SYS$UPDATE:

                  Username: SYSTEM <Return>
                  Password:    <Return>
                  $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE <Return>

          2  Invoke VMSINSTAL by entering the following command,
             utilizing the options n qualifier to enable you to
             see the release notes before the installation:

          %VMSINSTAL-I-RELMOVED, The product's release notes have been successfully moved to SYS$HELP.

          VAXft System Services V1.0 Installation Procedure

           Product:      FAULT-TOLERANT-SERVICES
           Producer:     DEC
           Version:      1.0
           Release Date: 01-JUN-1990

          6  VAXft System Services supports the VMS License
             Management Facility (LMF). You must have your
             product authorization key (PAK) registered
             and loaded prior to invoking the installation
             verification program (IVP) or the VAXft System
             Services software. The installation procedure will
             ask if you have a product authorization key (PAK)
             registered and loaded.

             If you do not, enter NO, and the installation will
             be completed, but a warning message will appear
             noting that the PAK was not registered, and that
             the IVP will not be run. After the installation
             is complete and you register the PAK, Digital
             recommends that you run the IVP to ensure the
             product was installed correctly prior to invoking
             the VAXft System Services software for the first
             time.

             If you have registered the PAK, enter the
             following:

          * Does this product have an authorization key registered and loaded? YES <Return>

             Note: The IVP and VAXft System Services software
             cannot be run until you load the Product
             Authorization Key.

          7  The installation procedure will then ask whether or
             not you wish to run the IVP after the installation
             is complete. Enter the following:

                                                              3-7

 


          Installation Procedure



          * Do you want to run the IVP after the installation [YES]? YES <Return>

          8  If you have previous versions of the VAXft System
             Services software installed, purge the old files to
             recover disk space. To purge older files after the
             installation, enter the following:

          Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? YES <Return>

             The following text is then displayed:

                  The VAXft System Services V1.0 Installation Verification
                  Procedure (IVP) has been provided in SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST].  The IVP
                  may be invoked at any time by using the following commands:

                     $ SET DEFAULT SYS$COMMON:[SYSTEST]
                     $ @FTSS$IVP

             Your VMS system is now updated to include the new
             and modified files listed in Table B-1.

             VMSINSTAL then moves the files to their target
             directories and responds with:

          %VMSINSTAL-I-MOVEFILES, Files will now be moved to their target directories...

                                           Installation Procedure



             The installation procedure then completes the
             installation.

             If your Product Authorization Key was installed,
             the installation verification procedure (IVP)
             is run at this point, resulting in the following
             display:

          Beginning the VAXft System Services V1.0 Installation Verification Procedure

          The FTSS V1.0 Installation Verification Procedure completed successfully

             Note: If the IVP fails for any reason, see
             Chapter 5, or see the VMSINSTAL Utility Manual.

             The installation is then complete.

                  Installation of FTSS V1.0 completed at 15:45

                  VMSINSTAL procedure done at 15:45

          9  To finish the installation procedure, press
             Break to halt the system and then reboot it. This
             process will ensure that the software is fully and
             correctly loaded prior to its first use.

          Note: If an error occurs during installation, see
          Chapter 5.

          __________________________________________________________________

   3.3    Installation Verification

          The VAXft System Services kit contains a command
          procedure that verifies the correct operation
          of the software when it is invoked. The file is
          called FTSS$IVP.COM, and is located in the SYS$TEST
          directory.

          If you registered the Product Authorization Key
          (PAK) prior to installing the VAXft System Services
          Software, and responded Yes when the installation
          procedure asked whether you would like the IVP run at
          the end of the installation, the IVP is run at that
          time.

                                                              3-9

 


          Installation Procedure



          If you did not register the PAK prior to software
          installation, do so immediately after the software
          installation and run the IVP manually by entering:

               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$COMMON[SYSTEST] <Return>
               $ @FTSS$IVP <Return>

          Also, if at any point you wish to verify that
          the VAXft System Services software was correctly
          installed, run the IVP again.

   4      Postinstallation Requirements




          There are few postinstallation requirements necessary
          to enable your system to run the VAXft System Services
          software. The VAXft System Services Manager's Guide
          contains information about customizing the VAXft
          System Services software's operations to your site's
          needs once the software is up and running.

          __________________________________________________________________

   4.1    Startup Procedure

          The VAXft System Services kit contains a startup
          procedure that allows your system to automatically
          invoke the VAXft System Services software when
          the VAXft 3000 is booted. The startup procedure
          is named FTSS$STARTUP.COM and is placed in the
          SYS$STARTUP directory. To cause the VAXft System
          Services software to be invoked at every system
          startup, edit the SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file to run
          SYS$STARTUP:FTSS$STARTUP.COM as early as possible in
          the procedure. Digital recommends that you locate this
          command in your SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file after commands
          which install any secondary paging or swapping files,
          and before commands starting DECnet or any queues.

          After this edit has been performed, halt and reboot
          your system to fully load the VAXft System Services
          Software.

          Note: Refer to the VAXft System Services Manager's
          Guide for more revisions that you may wish to make to
          your SYSTARTUP_V5.COM file.

   4.2    Maintenance Updates

          Maintenance updates of the VAXft System Services
          software may be issued periodically. Each update
          consists of an installation kit. Install this kit
          as described in this document, or in any documentation
          that accompanies the maintenance update (which would
          supersede this manual).

          The maintenance update includes new release notes.
          The update release notes describe changes that have
          been made to the VAXft System Services software since
          the previous release. The update release notes are
          provided on line.

          Read the release notes when you first install any
          version of VAXft System Services, as described in
          Section 2.2. To locate the release notes after you
          install the VAXft System Services software, display or
          print the file SYS$HELP:FTSS0nn.RELEASE_NOTES (where
          nn is the version number), or enter the following
          command:

               $ HELP FTSS RELEASE_NOTES <Return>

   5      Error Recovery




          If the installation procedure fails for any reason, a
          message with the following format is displayed:

               %VMSINSTAL_E_INSFAIL, The installation of VAX FTSS V1.0 has failed.

          An error during the installation occurs if one or more
          of the conditions that are listed in Table 5-1 exist.

                                     then manually run the IVP
          ___________________________to_verify_the_installation._


          For more information about errors related to the
          installation or other errors that may be relevant
          to your VAXft 3000 or VAXcluster system, see the VMS
          System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference
          Volume, the VAXft System Services Error Message
          Manual, and the VAXft 3000 processor-specific
          installation and operations guides.

          If the installation fails, repeat the installation
          procedure from the beginning.

   5.1    Problem Evaluation and Reporting

          If you find an error in the VAXft System Services
          documentation, fill out and submit the Reader's
          Comments form at the back of the hardcopy document
          in which the error was found. Include the section
          and page number of the error, and clearly specify the
          error in your response.

                                                              5-3

 


          Error Recovery



          If an error occurs while the VAXft System Services
          software is being executed and you have reason to
          believe that the error is due to a problem with the
          VAXft System Services software, submit a Software
          Performance Report (SPR).

          When you prepare to submit an SPR, do the following:

          o  Provide as complete a description of the problem
             as possible. Include the software version number,
             which can be found on the distribution media.

          o  Include any pertinent output or error message that
             you have found just prior to the problem. Include
             as much detail as possible about the events that
             led to the problem.
