          Preface_________________________________________________________





             This document describes how to install the VAX Remote
             Environmental Monitoring System (REMS) on the VAX/VMS
             operating system. It is intended for system managers. This
             document applies to Version 1.2 and all maintenance updates
             through the next major version. A major version number is
             represented by the digits to the left of the decimal point,
             and the maintenance update version number is indicated by
             the digits to the right of the decimal point. Therefore, this
             document applies to VAX REMS Version 1.2 and all maintenance
             updates up to but not including Version 2.0.

          1 Preparing to Install VAX REMS

             This section discusses the preparations and requirements
             necessary for installing VAX REMS.

             Your bill of materials (BOM) and indented bills report (BIL)
             specify the number and contents of your media. Be sure to
             verify the contents of your kit with this information. If
             your kit is damaged or if you find that parts of it are
             missing, contact your DIGITAL representative.

             VAX REMS provides online Release Notes. DIGITAL strongly
             recommends that you read the Release Notes before proceeding
             with the installation.

          1.1 Prerequisite Software

             This section identifies the software you must have installed
             on your system before installing VAX REMS.

             o  VAX/VMS Version 4.7 or later

             o  VAX FMS Version 2.3

          1.2 Prerequisite Hardware

             The following hardware must be installed to run VAX REMS:

             o  VAX system

             o  VT100, VT200, or VT300 terminal

             o  An H731x or HA3000 unit

          1.3 VMS License Management Facility

             You will need to register and load your license for VAX
             REMS before you start the installation. Refer to the
             VMS documentation on the License Management Utility for
             information about registering your license. VAX REMS will
             install without the registered license, but will not run.

             For instructions on registering the VAX REMS license, refer
             to Section 3, License Management Utility Requirements.

                                                                         1

 






          2 Installation Procedure Requirements

             The following sections discuss various requirements for
             installing VAX REMS.

          2.1 Time

             Installing VAX REMS and running the IVP takes approximately
             5 to 10 minutes, depending on your type of media and your
             system configuration.

          2.2 Privileges

             To install VAX REMS, you must be logged in to an account that
             has SETPRV or at least the following privileges:

             o  CMKRNL

             o  WORLD

             o  SYSPRV

          2.3 Disk Space

             Installing VAX REMS requires 5,500 blocks of free storage
             disk space during the installation.

          2.4 System Parameters

             Table 1 lists the minimum required system parameter values
             for the installation. Depending on the kinds of programs
             and applications running at your site, you might need higher
             values for some settings.

             Table_1:__Required_System_Parameter_Values___________________

             System_Parameter___________Value_____________________________

             Additional GBLPAGES[2]     52 + (x * 16)

             Total GBLPAGES[1,2]        n + 52 + (x * 16)

             GBLSECTIONS[1]             n + 1
             [1]The_n_variable_refers_to_the_system_parameter_values_that_

             are currently in use. To install VAX REMS, you must raise
             those values by the number indicated.
             [2]The x variable refers to the number of PDS units being
             used.
             _____________________________________________________________

             The following sections show you how to check system parameter
             values, calculate values for the GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS
             system parameters, and change parameter values with the VMS
             AUTOGEN command procedure.

             Checking System Parameter Values

             To check system parameter values, enter the following command
             at the DCL prompt:

               $RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
               SYSGEN>

             At the SYSGEN> prompt, enter the SHOW command to display
             the value of each system parameter. The values displayed
             should equal or exceed the value of each parameter listed
             in Table 1. The following command displays the value for the
             GBLPAGES system parameter:

               SYSGEN>SHOW GBLPAGES

             After you finish checking the parameters with the SHOW
             command, you can enter the EXIT command at the SYSGEN> prompt
             to return to the DCL level.

                                                                         3

 






             Calculating the Values for GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS

             To install and run VAX REMS, you must set the correct values
             for the GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS system parameters.

             The n + nnn values for GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS in Table 1
             indicate that you must have at least nnn unused pages and
             sections available on your system for the software to run
             successfully. To calculate how many unused global pages and
             global sections your system has, perform the following steps:

             o  Run the VMS Install Utility (INSTALL) using the following
                DCL commands:

                  $INSTALL == "$SYS$SYSTEM:INSTALL /COMMAND_MODE"
                  $INSTALL LIST /GLOBAL /SUMMARY

                The INSTALL utility displays a summary of global pages
                and global sections used by your system, as well as the
                current number of unused global pages. For example:

                              Summary of Local Memory Global Sections

                  258 Global Sections Used,  22580/3420 Global Pages Used/Unused

             o  Determine if the number of unused pages (3420 in the
                example) is equal to or greater than the number of
                additional global pages entry using the algorithm in
                Table 1. If the number of unused pages is less than the
                number listed in the table, you need to increase the value
                for GBLPAGES.

             o  Note the amount shown for "Global Sections Used" (258 in
                the example).

             o  Run the SYSGEN utility and use the SHOW command to
                determine the number of global sections that has been
                allocated:

                  SYSGEN>SHOW GBLSECTIONS

          4

 








                  Parameter Name       Current   Default    Minimum    Maximum Unit  Dynamic
                  --------------       -------   -------    -------    ------- ----  -------
                  GBLSECTIONS            512       250         20        4095  Sections

             o  Subtract the amount shown in the summary (258 in the
                example) from the amount allocated (current). If the
                difference is less than the number required in Table 1,
                you need to increase the value of the GBLSECTIONS
                parameter.

             The Changing System Parameter Values with AUTOGEN section
             describes the procedures for increasing these values as
             well as those of other system parameters. Refer to the VMS
             documentation on system management and operations for more
             information.

             Changing System Parameter Values with AUTOGEN

             You use the AUTOGEN command procedure to change system
             parameters. AUTOGEN automatically adjusts values for
             parameters that are associated with the ones you reset
             manually. To change system parameters with AUTOGEN, you must
             edit the following file:

               SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT

             For example, to change the setting for the GBLSECTIONS system
             parameter, add this line to the file:

               GBLSECTIONS = 1

             Or, for incremental SYSGEN parameters:

               ADD_GBLPAGES = 52

             Now, run the AUTOGEN procedure to recalculate your system
             parameters. Enter the following command at the DCL prompt:

               $@SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT

                                                                         5

 






             AUTOGEN performs an automatic system shutdown and reboots
             when it has finished. Rebooting your system makes the new
             parameter values active. Also on VMS V5.x systems you may
             wish to add the NOFEEDBACK or FEEDBACK parameter to the
             AUTOGEN command line. For more information about using
             AUTOGEN, see the instructions on modifying system parameters
             in the VMS documentation on System Management and Operations.

          2.5 Account Quotas

             The account you use to install VAX REMS must have sufficient
             quotas to be able to perform the installation. Table 2
             summarizes the account quotas required to perform the
             installation.


             Table_2:__Required_Account_Quotas_for_Installation___________

             Account_Quota_________Value__________________________________

             ASTLM                 24

             BIOLM                 18

             BYTLM                 18,000

             DIOLM                 18

             ENQLM                 30

             FILLM_________________20_____________________________________

             User account quotas are stored in the file SYSUAF.DAT. You
             use the VMS Authorize Utility to verify and change user
             account quotas. First set your directory to SYS$SYSTEM and
             then run AUTHORIZE:



          6

 






               $ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
               $ RUN AUTHORIZE
               UAF>

             At the AUTHORIZE prompt (UAF>), use the SHOW command with an
             account name to check a particular account. For example:

               UAF> SHOW SMITH

             To change a quota, use the MODIFY command at the UAF> prompt.
             MODIFY has the following format:

                   MODIFY account-name /quota-name=nnnn

             This example changes the FILLM quota for the SMITH account
             and then exits from the Authorize Utility:

               UAF> MODIFY SMITH /FILLM=20
               UAF> EXIT

             After you exit from the utility, the VMS 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, see the
             description of the AUTHORIZE utility in the VMS documentation
             on System Management and Operations.

          2.6 VMSINSTAL Requirements

             When you invoke VMSINSTAL, it checks the following:

             o  Whether you have set your default device and directory to
                SYS$UPDATE

             o  Whether you are logged in to a privileged account

             o  Whether you have adequate quotas for installation

             o  Whether DECnet is up and running

             o  Whether any users are logged in to the system

                                                                         7

 






             If VMSINSTAL detects any problems during the installation, it
             notifies you of the problem and asks if you want to continue
             the installation. In some instances, you can enter YES to
             continue. To stop the installation process and correct the
             situation, enter NO or press RETURN. Then correct the problem
             and restart the installation.

          2.7 Backing Up Your System Disk

             At the beginning of the installation, VMSINSTAL asks if you
             have backed up your system disk. DIGITAL recommends that you
             do a system disk backup before installing any software on top
             of the operating system.

             Use the backup procedures that have been established at your
             site. For details on performing a system disk backup, see the
             section on the Backup Utility in the VMS documentation set.

          2.8 VAX REMS Installation Requirements

             You must determine values for the following before installing
             VAX REMS:

             o  Ownership assigned to the VAX REMS directory

             o  The device on which VAX REMS will reside

             o  The directory for VAX REMS

             If a separate account is to be created which will have
             ownership of VAX REMS, it must be created and its ownership
             identifier determined prior to the installation. Section 7.3
             describes how to modify this account so that it can run REMS
             once the installation is complete.





          8

 






          3 License Management Utility Requirements

             The VMS License Management Facility is available with Version
             5.0 of the VMS operating system. If you are installing VAX
             REMS on a VMS V5.0 system, you must register your software
             license.

             The license registration information you need is contained in
             the Product Authorization Key (PAK) that is shipped with
             VAX REMS. The PAK is a paper certificate that contains
             information about the license you have to run a particular
             piece of software.

             It is required that the VAX REMS license is registered before
             you perform the installation. During the installation, you
             are asked if you have registered and loaded the VAX REMS
             license. If you have not already done so, please answer "NO".
             Once you perform the license registration and load, you may
             restart the installation and choose to run the IVP.

             To register a license under VMS V5.0, first log in to the
             system manager's account, SYSTEM. You then have a choice of
             two ways to perform the registration:

             o  Invoke the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. When it
                prompts you for information, respond with data from your
                Product Authorization Key (PAK).

             o  Issue the LICENSE REGISTER DCL command with the
                appropriate qualifiers that correspond to information
                on the PAK.

             For complete information on using LMF, see the manual on the
             License Management Utility in the VMS V5.0 documentation set.

          4 The Installation Procedure

             The VAX REMS installation process consists of a series of
             questions and informational messages.

                                                                         9

 






          4.1 Invoking VMSINSTAL

             To start the installation, invoke the VMSINSTAL command
             procedure from a privileged account, such as the SYSTEM
             account. Next, invoke VMSINSTAL. You use the following syntax
             to invoke VMSINSTAL:

                   @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL product-name device-name OPTIONS N

             Product-name is the installation name for the component. For
             VAX REMS, use the following installation name:

              REMS012

             Device-name is the name of the device on which you plan to
             mount the media. For example, MTA0: is the device name for
             a tape drive. It is not necessary to use the console drive
             for this installation. However, if you do use the console
             drive, you should replace any media you removed once the
             installation is completed.

             OPTIONS N is an optional parameter that indicates you want
             to be prompted to display or print the Release Notes. If
             you do not include the OPTIONS N parameter, VMSINSTAL does
             not prompt you to display or print the Release Notes. You
             are strongly recommended to read the Release Notes before
             proceeding with this installation.

             VMSINSTAL has several other options; for information, see the
             VMS documentation on Software Installation.

             The following example displays the command to invoke
             VMSINSTAL to install VAX REMS from tape drive MTA0: and the
             system response. This example uses the OPTIONS N parameter
             for printing or displaying Release Notes.




          10

 






               $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL REMS012 MTA0: OPTIONS N

                     VAX/VMS Software Product Installation Procedure V4.7


               It is 12-AUG-1988 at 09:30.
               Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help.

             If you do not supply either the product name or the device
             name, VMSINSTAL prompts you for this information later on
             in the installation procedure. VMSINSTAL does not prompt
             you for any options, so be sure to include OPTIONS N on the
             VMSINSTAL command line to access the Release Notes during the
             installation.

          5 Installing VAX REMS


             This section describes how to install VAX REMS. Sections
             4 through 11 contain a step-by-step description of the
             installation procedure.


          5.1 General Information

             This section includes information about accessing Release
             Notes, determining files [and logical names] added to your
             system, running the Installation Verification Procedure
             (IVP), and aborting the installation.

             Accessing the Online Release Notes

             VAX REMS provides online Release Notes. If you specify
             OPTIONS N when you invoke VMSINSTAL, the installation
             procedure asks you if you want to display or print the
             Release Notes. The Release Notes question comes near the
             beginning of the installation. You should review the Release
             Notes in case they contain any information about changes in
             the installation procedures.

                                                                        11

 






             After VAX REMS has been installed, the Release Notes are
             located in the following file:

               SYS$HELP:REMS012.RELEASE_NOTES

             The prompt to display or print the release notes appears in
             the installation procedure, as noted in the description of
             step 4, only when you invoke VMSINSTAL with OPTION N.

             Determining the Files Added to the System

             The files created by the installation of VAX REMS are:

             o  REMS.EXE

             o  REMS$DATA.EXE

             o  REMS$FORMS.FLB

          5.2 Running the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP)

             The Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) for VAX REMS
             verifies the installation. During the installation, you are
             asked if you want to run the IVP as part of the installation.
             If you respond YES, VMSINSTAL runs the IVP. It is recommended
             that you run the IVP to be sure that VAX REMS is installed
             correctly.

             After VAX REMS is installed, you can run the IVP
             independently to verify that the software is available on
             your system. You might also want to run the IVP after a
             system failure to be sure that users can access VAX REMS.
             See Section 7.6.






          12

 






          5.3 Aborting the Installation

             To abort the installation procedure at any time, press
             CTRL/Y. When you press CTRL/Y, the installation procedure
             deletes all files it has created up to that point and exits.
             You can then start the installation again.

             This section also contains excerpts from the installation
             procedure and provides explanatory text. See Section 10 for a
             sample installation procedure.

             Each question in the installation is marked with an asterisk
             (*) at the beginning of the line. Some questions show the
             default response in brackets, for example [YES]. If you want
             to give the default response, press the RETURN key.

                                          Note

                  Enhancements to VMSINSTAL in future releases
                  of the VAX/VMS operating system may result in
                  additional prompts appearing during the course
                  of the installation. Although such prompts may
                  not be documented in this installation guide, the
                  installation should proceed normally.

          5.4 Step 1: Log in to the system manager's account.

             The installation procedure must be run from the system
             manager's privileged account.

               Username: SYSTEM    <RET>
               Password: password  <RET>







                                                                        13

 






          5.5 Step 2: Invoke VMSINSTAL

             This step calls up the VMSINSTAL procedure that resides
             on the VMS operating system. It is here that the VAX REMS
             software is loaded onto your system.

             On the command line you can specify the product to be
             installed and the device in which the media will be mounted.
             VMSINSTAL will prompt you for this information if you omit
             it. If you specify this information, you can also specify
             OPTIONS N, which will tell VMSINSTAL to ask if you want to
             display or print the Release Notes. It is highly recommended
             that you read the Release Notes before continuing the
             installation.

             After entering the first command you will receive a system
             message notifying you the DECnet network is up and running.
             You will also receive a system query asking you if you wish
             to continue. Answer Y (YES) and press RETURN. VAX REMS does
             not affect any other users on the network and does not delete
             any files.

               $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL     <RET>

                  VAX/VMS Software Product Installation Procedure V4.7

               It is 21-JUL-1988 at 15:37.
               Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help.

               %VMSINSTAL-W-DECNET, Your DECnet network is up and running.
               %VMSINSTAL-W-ACTIVE, The following processes are still active:

                      User  1
                      User  3
                      User  2
                      User  4

               *Do you want to continue anyway [NO]?  YES  <RET>

          14

 






               *Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? YES <RET>

               *Where will the distribution media volume be mounted: MUA0: <RET>

             If you entered the wrong device name when you invoked
             VMSINSTAL and need to restart the installation, enter NO in
             response to the "Do you want to continue anyway?" question.
             To abort the installation for other reasons, press CTRL/Y.

          5.6 Step 3: Insert the installation kit volume.

             Now you are ready to mount the distribution media. The
             installation procedure prompts you with the following
             message:

               Enter the products to be processed from the first distribution volume set.
               *Products:  REMS012
               The following products will be processed:

                 VAX REMS V1.2

                    Beginning installation of REMS V1.2 at 15:37
               %VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product saveset A...

          5.7 Step 4: Select a release notes option.

             This step applies only if you specified OPTIONS N in step 2.

               Release Notes Options:

                   (1) Display release notes
                   (2) Print release notes
                   (3) Both 1 and 2
               * Select option [3]:  <RET>

             If you select option 1, VMSINSTAL displays the release notes
             immediately on your screen. You can terminate the display at
             any time by pressing CTRL/C.

                                                                        15

 






             If you select option 2, VMSINSTAL prompts you for a queue
             name.

               * Queue name [SYS$PRINT]:  <RET>

             You can type a queue name (or press RETURN to indicate the
             default output print device, SYS$PRINT).

             Now choose whether or not to continue the installation when
             the following message displays:

               Do you want to continue the installation [NO]?: YES <RET>

             Press N (NO) and RETURN to discontinue the installation.

             Press Y (YES) and RETURN to continue the installation. VMS
             shows the following message:

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

          5.8 Step 5: Choosing to run the Installation Verification
              Procedure (IVP)

             The installation procedure now asks if you want to run the
             Installation Verification Procedure. The IVP for VAX REMS
             checks to be sure that the installation is successful. It is
             recommended that you run the IVP.

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

             The installation procedure now asked for the location of
             the VAX REMS software. If it is located on the systems
             default disk (named SYS$SYSROOT, by convention) then press
             the <Return> key to accept the default, YES.

               *Is the installation device a system disk [YES]?


          16

 






             If you answer NO to this question, the following prompt
             appears:

               *Enter the installation device:

             Type the name of the installation device (for example,
             SYS$USERSET:) and press RETURN. SYS$SPECIFIC: is the default
             device.

             After the installation device has been defined, whether you
             answered YES or NO to the installation device query, you are
             now prompted for the installation directory:

               *Enter the installation directory:  REMS  <RET>

             (By convention, "REMS" is the default directory name.)

                                          Note

                  Although the release notes file installed by
                  VMSINSTAL has a unique name from one maintenance
                  update to the next, take care not to delete
                  previous versions of that file.

          5.9 Step 6: Read Informational messages.

             At this point, the installation procedure displays a number
             of informational messages that report on the progress of the
             installation. There are no further questions (except for any
             that apply to the IVP). If the installation procedure has
             been successful up to this point, VMSINSTAL moves the new
             or modified files to their target directories, updates help
             files, and updates DCL tables, if necessary. If you asked
             for files to be purged, that work is done now. The following
             messages are displayed:




                                                                        17

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



          5.10 Step 7: Running the Installation Verification Procedure

             The installation procedure now calls the Installation
             Verification Procedure (IVP) to verify that VAX REMS was
             successfully installed.

               Starting Installation Verification Procedure for VAX REMS V1.2.

               Installation Verification Procedure for VAX REMS V1.2 successful.

                    Installation of REMS V1.2 completed at 12:45

          5.11 Step 8: Completing the installation procedure.

             When the VAX REMS installation procedure is complete, you can
             choose to install more products or to end the installation
             procedure. If you removed any media from the console drive
             before beginning, you should replace it now.

             You have now installed VAX REMS. End the installation by
             pressing RETURN at the following prompts:

               Enter the products to be installed from the next distribution volume set.
               * Products [EXIT]: <RET>

                       VMSINSTAL procedure done at 02:00

               $ LOGOUT  <RET>

                                          Note

                  VMSINSTAL deletes or changes entries in the
                  process symbol tables during the installation.
                  Therefore, if you are going to continue using the
                  system manager's account, and want to restore
                  those symbols, you should log out and log in
                  again.

          6 Error Recovery

             If errors occur during the installation or when the IVP
             is running, VMSINSTAL displays failure messages. If the
             installation fails, the following message is displayed:

               %VMSINSTAL-E-INSFAIL, The installation of VAX REMS V1.2 has failed.

             If the IVP fails, the following messages are displayed:

               Installation Verification Procedure has failed for VAX REMS V1.2.

               %VMSINSTAL-E-IVPFAIL, The IVP for VAX REMS V1.2 has failed.

             Errors can occur during the installation if any of the
             following conditions exist:

             o  The operating system version is incorrect.

             o  Quotas necessary for successful installation are
                insufficient.

             For descriptions of the error messages generated by these
             conditions, see the VAX/VMS System Messages and Recovery
             Procedures Reference Manual and the Guide to VAX/VMS
             Software Installation. If you are notified that any of these
             conditions exist, you should take the appropriate action as
             described in the message. (You might need to change a system
             parameter or increase an authorized quota value.)

                                                                        19

 









          7 After Installing VAX REMS

             After installing VAX REMS, you also need to perform the
             following tasks:

             o  Edit the system startup file

             o  Edit the REMS$STARTUP command file to define REMS$EXE
                logical name and enable the automatic (auto) startup mode.

             o  Execute the REMS$STARTUP command file

             o  Set the user account quotas

             o  Modify the system parameters settings if necessary

             o  Reboot the system if system parameters were adjusted

          7.1 Editing the System Files

             You must edit the system startup to provide for automatic
             setup of VAX REMS when your system is rebooted.

             Add the command line that sets up VAX REMS to the system
             startup file,       SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP.COM (for VMS V4.7)
             or SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_V5.COM (for VMS V5.0):

               $@SYS$MANAGER:REMS$STARTUP.COM








          20

 






          7.2 Editing the REMS$STARTUP Command File

             To edit the REMS$STARTUP command file:

             o  Remove the comment delimiter (!) from the following line:

                  $! DEFINE/SYSTEM REMS$EXE device:[directory]

             o  Substitute values for the device and directory names as
                specified during the installation. If REMS was installed
                on a system disk, the device name is SYS$SPECIFIC:.

             o  Remove the comment delimiter (!) from the following lines:

                  $! SET PROTECTION=(S,O,G,W)/DEVICE port_device_name
                  $! SET DEVICE/ACL=(IDENT= rems_user_UIC, ACCESS=READ) port_device_name
                  $! SET TERM/PERM/NOTYPE/NOHOST/NOBROAD port_device_name

             o  Substitute values for port_device_name and rems_user_UIC.
                Port_device_name is the name of the device through which
                REMS will talk to the environmental product. Rems_user_UIC
                is the identifier of the account that will run REMS. If
                you have multiple ports, copy the template as many times
                as needed.

             o  Remove the comment delimiter (!) from the following lines:

                  $! RUN REMS$EXE:REMS$DATA.EXE /DETACHED-
                   !          /INPUT="NL:" /OUTPUT="NL:" /ERROR="NL:"-
                   !          /PRIV=(NETMBX, TMPMBX, GRPNAM, PHY_IO, OPER)-
                   !          /UIC= rems_user_UIC

             o  Substitute the account identifier that will run REMS for
                rems_user_UIC. This should be the same as was used in
                setting up the terminal ports.




                                                                        21

 






          7.3 User Account Requirements

             To use VAX REMS, user accounts on your system must:

             o  Have certain privileges and quotas

             o  Select an account to be used for VAX REMS

             o  Allocate a port or ports exclusively to VAX REMS

             The next sections contain information on these requirements.

             Default Privileges

             To use VAX REMS, an account must have these default
             privileges:

             o  TMPMBX

             o  NETMBX

             o  OPER

             o  GRPNAM

             o  PHY_IO

             Use the VMS Authorize Utility to determine whether users have
             the required privileges.

             User Account Quotas

             You must make sure that the appropriate user accounts
             have sufficient quotas to be able to use VAX REMS. Table 3
             summarizes the required user account quotas.




          22

 






             Table 3:  User Account Requirements for Account That Will Use
             __________VAX_REMS___________________________________________

             Account_Quota____Value_______________________________________

             ASTLM            150

             BIOLM            150

             BYTLM            20,000

             DIOLM            150

             ENQLM            30

             FILLM____________20__________________________________________

             User account quotas are stored in the file SYSUAF.DAT. Use
             the Authorize Utility 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 AUTHORIZE prompt (UAF>), use the SHOW command with an
             account name to check a particular account. For example:

               UAF> SHOW SMITH

             To change a quota, use the MODIFY command at the UAF> prompt.
             MODIFY has the following format:

                   MODIFY account-name /quota-name=nnnn




                                                                        23

 






             This example changes the FILLM quota for the SMITH account
             and then exits from the utility:

               UAF> MODIFY SMITH /FILLM=20
               UAF> EXIT

             After you exit from the utility, the VMS system displays
             messages indicating whether or not changes were made. Once
             you have finished making the changes, the users must log out
             and log in again for the new quotas to take effect.

             For more information on modifying account quotas, see the
             description of the Authorize Utility in the VMS documentation
             on system management and operations.

             Modifying account that will use VAX REMS

             An account to be used for VAX REMS should be modified from
             the system manager's privileged account. Log into the system
             manager's account and enter the following commands:

               $SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM      <RET>

               $MCR AUTHORIZE      <RET>

               UAF>MODIFY xxxx/ASTLM=150/BIOLM=150/DIOLM=150/BYTLM=20000
          <RET>

             Note: xxxx is the account identifier that will use VAX REMS

               UAF>EXIT <RET>

               $SET DEFAULT SYS$MANAGER   <RET>

             Allocate a port

             To dedicate a port solely to VAX REMS, be sure to edit the
             REMS$STARTUP command file as described in Section 7.2.

          7.4 Modifying System Parameters Settings

             The installation for VAX REMS requires that you raise the
             values of the GBLPAGES and GBLSECTIONS system parameters, if
             necessary.

          7.5 Rebooting the System

             You can reboot your system after you have installed VAX REMS,
             edited the system file, and adjusted the system parameters
             (if necessary). A system reboot verifies that VAX REMS is
             ready for use, and ensures that the edits to the system
             startup command file are correct, and establishes any new
             parameter settings.

                                                                        25

 






                                          Note

                  Rebooting is optional.


          7.6 Running the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP)
              Independently

             The logical name REMS$EXE must be defined for the IVP to
             execute successfully. After REMS has been installed, the IVP
             is available and can be executed by typing:

                $ @SYS$TEST:REMS$IVP      <RET>

          8 Running REMS in a VAXcluster environment

             If the REMS images were installed on the system disk
             (SYS$SPECIFIC), you must create a directory for REMS in each
             nodes SYS$SPECIFIC directory. The directory name must be
             the same on all the nodes to allow for a common logical name
             definition. Then, copy the following files into each of the
             newly created directories:

             o  REMS$EXE

             o  REMS$DATA.EXE

             o  REMS$FORMS.FLB

             When each system is booted, REMS$STARTUP.COM will define the
             logical name for all nodes in the cluster.

             If the REMS images were not installed on the system disk, the
             REMS$STARTUP.COM file must be edited to provide a separate
             logical name definition for each system. Each system must
             have a separate REMS directory and the first directory name
             should be changed to include the system name. For example:


          26

 






                    Cluster system names:  SYS1, SYS2

                    Installed directory location:  SYS$USERSET:[REMS]
                    Changed to:                    SYS$USERSET:[SYS1_REMS]

                    Second directory:              SYS$USERSET:[SYS2_REMS]

             Additional REMS directories will have to be created. The
             logical names for each system should point to the specified
             directory. The REMS$STARTUP.COM file should be edited to
             define the specified logical name or names.

          9 Determining and Reporting Problems

             If an error occurs while VAX REMS is being used and you
             believe that the error is caused by a problem with VAX REMS,
             take one of the following actions:

             o  If you have a BASIC or DECsupport Software Agreement,
                you should call your Customer Support Center. (With these
                services, you receive telephone support that provides
                high-level advisory and remedial assistance.)

             o  If you have a Self-Maintenance Software Agreement, you can
                submit a Software Performance Report (SPR).

             o  If you purchased VAX REMS within the past 90 days and you
                think the problem is caused by a software error, you can
                submit a Software Performance Report (SPR).

             If you find an error in the VAX REMS documentation, you
             should fill out and submit the Reader's Comments form at the
             back of the document in which the error was found. Include
             the section and page number where the error was found.





                                                                        27

 






          10 Sample Installation

             This section contains a sample installation of VAX REMS. This
             sample was run on a system that had no previous version of
             VAX REMS installed.

             The sample installation assumes that DECnet is running, that
             users are logged on to the system, and that OPTIONS N is
             specified to print the Release Notes. The Installation
             Verification Procedure (IVP) runs at the end of the
             installation.

          11 H731x Preparations

             After VAX REMS has been installed on your system, the
             communications settings for the H731x unit need to be set
             up.

             At the H731x keypad, select the main menu by pressing the
             pound key (#). The H731x needs to be set up to communicate
             under VAX Control and at 9600 baud in full duplex mode. The
             correct settings can be achieved by following these steps:

             o  Press the # key for the main menu

             o  Press keypad 4 for the setup menu

             o  Enter the security code as, XXXX

             o  Press keypad 3 for the parameter menu

             o  Press keypad 4 for the communications menu

             o  Press keypad 1 for the terminal type prompt and select
                option 4, VAX Control mode

             o  Return to the communications menu by pressing the * key

             o  At the communications menu, select the serial
                communications option by pressing keypad 3

             o  At the serial communications options, select option 3,
                9600 baud with full duplex

             o  Press the * key to return to the communications menu

             o  Press the # key to return to the main menu

             For the H7317 and H7318 models, the M4 board is located
             inside the door. Check for pins J1 and J3. Both sets of pins
             should be set with the BC combinations.

             The correct unit number must also be set up for all H731x
             units. For a single-unit network, the H731x must be unit
             number 0. For a multi-unit network, the units should be
             numbered sequentially, starting with unit 0. Unit 0 will
             be the master unit and should be the unit that is connected

          30

 






             to the VAX. The H7317 and H7318 default to unit number 0;
             however, the H7310 defaults to unit number 7. The unit number
             can be changed by following these steps:

             o  Press the # key for the main menu.

             o  Press keypad 4 for the setup menu.

             o  Enter the security code as, XXXX.

             o  Press keypad 3 for the parameter menu.

             o  Press keypad 2 for the unit number prompt and select the
                correct unit number.

             o  Return to the parameter menu by pressing the * key.

             o  Press the # key to return to the main menu.

             For a multi-unit network, it is also necessary that the
             communications be set up correctly. Each unit should have
             communications enabled with all other units in the network.
             To modify the communications, press keypad 2 from the setup
             menu after entering the security code. Then, for each unit in
             the network, enter 1 to enable or 0 to disable communications
             with that unit. Note that a unit must have communications
             enabled with itself as well as other units in the network.

          12 HA3000 Preparation

             After VAX REMS has been installed on your system, the
             communications settings for the HA3000 unit need to be
             set up. Because this requires personalized settings on the
             HA3000, this needs to be performed by a Qualified Digital
             Customer Service Technician.

             The HA3000 needs to be setup to communicate through channel 1
             at 1200 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit, no parity.

             o  Scroll through the main menu and select option 8,
                personalization.

             o  Enter the password XXXX, followed by the "ENTER" key

                                                                        31

 






             o  The UPS will tell you to stop the inverter, enter 0
                followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  The UPS will tell you to stop the charger, enter 0
                followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  Use the scroll down arrow to scroll through the menu until
                you get to PCB DISO, enter 1 followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  Hit the "ENTER" key to store the personalization data, and
                get back to the main menu.

             o  Scroll through the main menu and select option 9,
                communications, followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  Enter the password XXXX followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  Select the desired channel, enter 1.

             o  Select the UPS number, enter 001 followed by the "ENTER"
                key.

             o  Scroll down to select the baud rate, scroll down until you
                see 5=1200, enter 5 followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  Scroll down to select the number of data bits, enter 8
                followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  Scroll down to select the number of stop bits, enter 1
                followed by the "ENTER" key.

             o  Scroll down to select the parity, enter 0 followed by the
                "ENTER" key.

             o  Scroll down to select modem type, enter 0 followed by the
                "ENTER" key.

             o  Hit the "ENTER" key to select all of the changes.

             o  Hit the "MENU" key to get back to the main menu.

             o  Scroll up to select option 1 of the main menu, START-UP,
                and complete the start-up sequence.

          13 Maintenance Updates

             DIGITAL may periodically issue maintenance updates of VAX
             REMS. Each update will consist of an installation kit
             containing the installation command procedure and list of
             changes incorporated in the update. The maintenance update
             replaces the first volume of the original distribution kit.
             You should install this kit as described in this document
             unless new documentation accompanies the maintenance update.

             Each time a maintenance update is released, the version
             number will change. For example, if the current version is
             1.2, the version number of the first maintenance update will
             be 1.1. In addition, the maintenance update will usually
             include changes to the release notes. The release notes
             describe the changes that have been made to VAX REMS since
             the previous release.
