   1      Preinstallation




          This chapter describes how to prepare for installing
          VAX DECslide V1.4 software on your VAX/VMS system.

          __________________________________________________________________

   1.1    The Distribution Kit

          You can receive DECslide V1.4 on two types of media:
          magnetic tape (16MT9) or TK50.

          The installation procedure will prompt you to mount
          the volumes. To mount the distribution medium, see
          the Guide to VAX/VMS Software Installation for your
          system. The guide also details several options to the
          installation procedure. Be sure to read it.

          Each distribution kit includes all files needed to
          install and execute DECslide V1.4. Release notes about
          installing and operating DECslide are available on-
          line. You can display them and print them from within
          the installation procedure (see Section 2.2, step 6).

          The DECslide kit contains two savesets: SLIDE014.A and
          SLIDE014.B

          __________________________________________________________________

   1.2    Prerequisite Software

          To run DECslide V1.4 you must have VMS V5.0 or later
          on your system.



                                                              1-1

 


          Preinstallation


          __________________________________________________________________

   1.3    Installation Procedure Requirements

          Before you can install DECslide, you must have the
          following:

          o  A DECslide distribution kit

          o  Access to a privileged system manager's account

          o  A minimum of 3,500 free blocks on the system disk
             for use during installation (1,000 blocks are
             allocated to DECslide after installation.)

          o  A minimum of 450 unused global pages and a minimum
             of 5 global sections

          o  A DECslide license installed and loaded

          ___________________________

   1.3.1  Checking the System Parameters

          Before you install DECslide you must compare the
          required number of global pages and global sections
          with the values on your system. The installation
          procedure also checks these system parameters. If a
          parameter does not meet the minimum value, VMSINSTAL
          terminates the installation so you can modify the
          parameters. Refer to the Guide to Setting Up a VMS
          System in the VAX/VMS documentation for information
          about modifying GBLPAGES and/or GBLSECTIONS values.

          To determine the number of global pages and sections
          on your system, do the following:

          1  Invoke the INSTALL utility by entering:

                $ INSTALL

          2  Determine the number of available global pages by
             entering:

                INSTALL> LIST/GLOBAL/SUMMARY

          1-2

 


                                                  Preinstallation



             This command determines whether your system has
             enough available global pages to install DECslide.
             It displays a summary of the number of global
             sections used, the number of global pages used,
             and the number of global pages unused.

             DECslide requires 450 global pages. If there are
             fewer than 450 unused pages, you can delete an
             existing known image (with the INSTALL utility).
             You also can increase the GBLPAGES system parameter
             with the SYSTEM GENERATION utility by using
             AUTOGEN.COM. For more information about using
             AUTOGEN, refer to the Guide to Setting Up a VMS
             System in the VAX/VMS documentation.

             Note the number of global sections used because you
             will need the information when checking the global
             sections.

          3  Exit from the INSTALL utility by entering:

                INSTALL> EXIT

          4  Determine the number of available global sections
             by using the SYSGEN utility. Enter the following:

                $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSGEN
                SYSGEN> USE CURRENT
                SYSGEN> SHOW GBLSECTIONS

             These commands determine whether your system
             has enough available global sections to install
             DECslide. The first number displayed is the maximum
             number of global sections. Compare this number to
             the number of global sections in use displayed by
             the INSTALL utility.

             DECslide requires five global sections. Therefore,
             if the amount displayed plus five exceeds the
             system maximum, you must increase the number of
             available global sections before you can install
             DECslide.

                                                              1-3

 


          Preinstallation



             To increase the amount, you must increase the
             GBLSECTIONS parameter with the SYSTEM GENERATION
             utility by using AUTOGEN.COM. For more information
             about AUTOGEN, refer to the Guide to Setting Up a
             VMS System in the VAX/VMS documentation.

             If the amount displayed plus five is less than the
             system maximum, you can install DECslide.

          ___________________________

   1.3.2  Special Requirements

          DECslide operation requires permanent disk space in
          the following directories:

          o  SYS$SYSTEM

          o  SYS$SHARE

          o  SYS$HELP

          o  SYS$TEST

          o  SYS$MANAGER

   2      Installation




          This chapter explains how to install DECslide and
          describes error messages you might receive during the
          installation.

          __________________________________________________________________

   2.1    Installing DECslide

          This section contains the steps you follow to install
          DECslide. You will have to log on to the system
          manager's account and make a backup of the system
          disk, checking all parameters. You should install
          DECslide in stand-alone mode. You will have to make
          sure that all users have logged off the system, and
          all batch jobs are complete. Then you will shut down
          the DECnet network and invoke VMSINSTAL to install
          DECslide.

          The installation procedure prompts you to enter
          information. Most queries require a simple YES or NO
          answer. Respond with Y or N, as appropriate, or press
          <Return> to choose the default.

          Enhancements to VMSINSTAL in future releases of VMS
          might result in additional prompts appearing during
          the course of the installation. Although such prompts
          might not be documented in this installation guide,
          the installation will proceed normally.

          The DECslide installation procedure takes between
          2 and 30 minutes to complete, depending on your
          particular VAX configuration.


                                                              2-1

 


          Installation


          __________________________________________________________________

   2.2    Installation Procedure

          1  Make a backup of the system disk and check the
             system parameters.

          2  Log on to the system manager's account. Set the
             default directory to SYS$UPDATE by entering:

                $ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE

          3  Start the installation by entering:

                $ @VMSINSTAL SLIDE014 device OPTIONS N

             device is the name of the device on which you will
             mount the DECslide distribution media. VMSINSTAL
             displays information similar to the following:

                       VAX/VMS Software Product Installation Procedure V5.3

                  It is 22-APR-1990 at 08:08.
                  Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help.

             VMSINSTAL checks to see if users are logged on
             to the system. If someone is, VMSINSTAL displays
             a warning message. You can stop the installation
             procedure by pressing <Return> when prompted
             to continue the installation procedure. If you
             continue, VMSINSTAL asks you if you are satisfied
             with the backup of your system disk:

                  Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]?

             If you have not made a backup of your system disk,
             type N and press <Return>. You will exit from the
             installation procedure.

             If you have backed up your system disk, enter Y or
             just press <Return> to continue the installation
             procedure.

                  * Does this product have an authorization key registered and loaded?

             If your license is loaded, enter Y at the prompt.
             If you enter Y and you do not have a license
             loaded, your Installation Verification Procedure
             (IVP) will fail. The installation proceeds as
             normal, but you will not be able to use DECslide
             until you load a valid license on the system.
             See the VMS License Management Utility Manual for
             instructions on how to install and load licenses.

             If you enter N at the prompt, then VMSINSTAL lets
             you exit the installation to load the license on to
             the system with the following prompt:

                  You do not have the DECslide license currently loaded on your system.
                  You may continue with this installation, or you may stop to load the
                  license at this time. If you do continue, you will not be able to use
                  the DECslide product until the license is loaded.

                  *Do you wish to continue with the DECslide installation? [N]?

             If you enter N, the installation will stop. If you
             enter Y, VMSINSTAL verifies that you have enough
             disk space, and displays the following messages:

                  %SLIDE-I-LICOK, License O.K. Checking disk space...
                  %SLIDE-I-DISKOK, Your disk space is O.K.

          8  VMSINSTAL asks if you want to purge the files the
             current installation replaces:

                  * Do you want to purge the files replaced by this installation [YES]?

             Press <Return> or enter Y to purge the old version
             of DECslide from your system. Enter N to keep the
             old version of DECslide.

             VMSINSTAL then creates a test directory to put the
             test slide used for the Installation Verification
             Procedure (IVP):

                  %VMSINSTAL-I-SYSDIR, This product creates system directory
                  [SYSTEST.SLIDE014].

                      If you intend to execute this layered product on the other nodes
                      in your VAXcluster, and you have the appropriate software license,
                      you must prepare the system-specific roots on the other nodes by
                      issuing the following command on each node (using a suitable
                      privileged account):

                         $ CREATE /DIRECTORY SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSTEST.SLIDE014]

          9  VMSINSTAL now gives you the option of running the
             Installation Verification Procedure (IVP). The
             IVP confirms that the installation was successful.
             The IVP takes from 2 to 20 minutes to complete,
             depending on your configuration.

                                                              2-5

 


          Installation



             However, you cannot run the IVP if your DECslide
             license is not loaded. If it is not loaded,
             VMSINSTAL displays the following message:

                  You do not have a license installed on your system. Since the
                  Installation Verification requires the license be loaded, it will
                  not be run. Once this installation has finished and the license is
                  loaded, it is highly recommended to run the IVP by hand. To do
                  this, type:

                  @SYS$TEST:SLIDE$IVP.COM

             If your license is loaded, VMSINSTAL displays the
             following prompt:

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

          10 To run the Installation Verification Procedure,
             press <Return>.

                  All questions necessary for the installation of DECslide have been
                  answered.

                  This installation will continue from 2 to 30 minutes depending
                  on your particular configuration ...

          11 VMSINSTAL copies files from the distribution kit
             and performs the installation. It displays the
             following message:

                  Please wait for the Installation Verification Procedure to complete.
                  The IVP takes from 2 to 20 minutes to complete depending on your
                  configuration.

                  The VAX DECslide V1.4 Installation Verification completed successfully.

             If the installation did not pass the verification
             test, you will see a failure message.

          13 When the installation procedure finishes, VMSINSTAL
             displays the following message:

   2.3    Post Installation

          After installation, you must edit the file
          SYSTARTUP_V5.COM so that DECslide will be properly
          started when your system is booted.

          If you are installing DECslide for the first time,
          add the following line to SYSTARTUP_V5.COM in the
          directory SYS$STARTUP:

               @SYS$STARTUP:SLIDE$START.COM

          If DECslide was previously installed on your
          system, and you are updating to V1.4, edit the file
          SYSTARTUP_V5.COM in directory SYS$STARTUP. Find the
          following lines:

               $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:INSTALL
               DECSLIDE/PRIVILEGE=TMPMBX/SHARE/OPEN/HEADER_RESIDENT
               SYS$SHARE:SLIDESHR/SHARE/OPEN/HEADER_RESIDENT
               /EXIT

          Delete these lines, and add the following line in
          their place:

               @SYS$STARTUP:SLIDE$START.COM
