PRODUCT NAME:  Compaq Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS

DESCRIPTION

Compaq Advanced Server for OpenVMS is an OpenVMS layered application
and network operating system that is compatible with the Microsoft net-
working technology. In particular, the Advanced Server for OpenVMS is
based on the Windows NT Server, but it provides additional features.
It enhances the Windows NT Server functionality by incorporating both
OpenVMS and Microsoft technology to deliver powerful features for net-
work administration and enhanced security. The Advanced Server for 
OpenVMS can operate independently or in cooperation with the 
Windows NT Server, or with a Windows 2000 server.

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS software evolved from the PATHWORKS
V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) product to provide tighter integra-
tion with the OpenVMS operating system and the enhanced Windows NT in-
tegration features introduced with OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2.

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS includes support for Extended File Spec-
ifications based on OpenVMS ODS-5 disk volumes. The server product sup-
ports long names and deep directories, certain Unicode or extended char-
acter set characters, the OpenVMS Registry (based on the Windows NT
registry), COM for OpenVMS, and other capabilities that integrate Win-
dows NT and OpenVMS environments. (The ODS-2 file system will continue
to be supported.) As a result, the Advanced Server for OpenVMS takes
advantage of the OpenVMS operating system's native ability to func-
tion simultaneously as a file, print, communications, and applications
server while ensuring compatibility with Microsoft networking features
and interoperability with Microsoft desktop environments. DOS, Win-
dows, Windows NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 2000
Professional, and OpenVMS users can share files and printers over the
network.





                                 2

 

As a server for workstations on a network, the Advanced Server for 
OpenVMS provides file and print shares that enable a community of desk-
top users to share computing resources efficiently. The Advanced Server
for OpenVMS can function as a simple file and print server for a small,
isolated community of users or as the foundation of a large network
distributed over a wide geographical area.

Desktop and OpenVMS users can share printers connected to Alpha com-
puters or OpenVMS Cluster systems - as well as network-based print-
ers such as LAT printers and PrintServers. The Advanced Server for 
OpenVMS gives you the option of configuring the server to allow manage-
ment of shared printers from Windows NT, taking advantage of the fea-
tures provided by Windows NT print services.

FEATURES

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS adds an additional dimension to gen-
eral purpose OpenVMS systems. In addition to providing traditional sup-
port for business, scientific, and engineering applications, the server
allows an OpenVMS operating system to appear to PC clients as a Win-
dows NT Server.

The major features of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS are described
in the following sections.

File Services

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS provides clients with a remote file
system that appears as a transparent extension of the client system's
local computing environment.

The Advanced Server file shares are based on Microsoft's Advanced Server
V3.0 SMB (Server Message Block) protocols.

Each file stored in a file service is stored as an OpenVMS file in Record
Management Services (RMS) format. Three types of RMS file or record
formats are allowed and supported on each volume:

o  Sequential stream

                                 3

 

o  Sequential fixed length record (512 bytes per record)

o  Sequential undefined

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS now provides improved performance for
access of sequential and VFC (variable length with fixed-length con-
trol) files. In previous versions of the Advanced Server, and on ODS-2
volumes, the file has to be read completely to determine the cor-
rect file size. The Advanced Server now supports file-size calcula-
tions for RMS sequential and VFC files on ODS-5 volumes. This reduces
the number of I/O's and the file-open time when the Advanced Server
opens a file for the first time.

Files stored in a file service are accessible to PC clients, to 
OpenVMS users, and to applications that can interpret the content and 
organization of a file written by the client application.

Multiple clients can concurrently access files stored on the server's
disk through the file access modes and byte-range locking support pro-
vided by the Advanced Server.

The Advanced Server lets users share OpenVMS files. You can use dis-
cretionary Windows NT access controls on each file and directory to
specify the groups and users that can access files, to define the lev-
els of access that each group or user is permitted, and to control au-
diting supported by Windows NT-like security. Additional, optional se-
curity is provided by OpenVMS file and directory protections.

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS ensures compatibility with a wide va-
riety of clients and legacy applications attempting to share server
resources. Some of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS features that help
ensure such compatibility include support for:

o  Extended File Specifications

Extended File Specifications, based on ODS-5, includes support for deep
directories and extended file names.

o  Unicode characters or extended character sets

                                 4

 

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS file server can now support certain
Unicode characters and extended character sets that are foreign to the
Western European languages, making available a broader set of char-
acters not only for file and share names, but also for other objects
manageable by the Advanced Server, such as user names and group names.
The Advanced Server for OpenVMS provides six additional character sets
with the potential of supporting over 40 different languages. Though
you can configure any one of these languages, Compaq has tested and
officially supports the following languages:

   o  English (USA)

   o  Hebrew

By giving you a choice of languages, the Advanced Server for OpenVMS
can enable you to configure the server to support the local language
of the server's users. Most of the Western European languages support
the Euro currency symbol.

o  Legacy applications with more restrictive file naming conventions

Some legacy applications (such as MS-DOS) are more restrictive than
the Advanced Server, Windows NT, and other systems, in both the lengths
of file names and in the set of valid characters supported for file
names. As a result, these applications cannot take full advantage of
the capabilities of the OpenVMS ODS-5 disk volume and longer file names
supported on the other systems. To enable compatibility with these ap-
plications, the Advanced Server for OpenVMS automatically creates
MS-DOS-compatible alias file names for files whose names do not com-
ply with the file naming standards of those applications. As a result,
client applications that must use, or choose to use, the MS-DOS for-
mat for file names, can access these shared files on the server by us-
ing the file's associated alias name.

Print Shares

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS software lets DOS, Windows, Windows
NT, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows 2000 Professional,
and OpenVMS users share printers connected to Alpha computers or 
OpenVMS Cluster systems - as well as network-based printers such as 
LAT printers and PrintServers. Print shares are supported in local area

                                 5

 

network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) environments. PC clients can
print files from their desktop operating systems as well as from PC
applications.

Multiple print shares can be defined for a single printer. For exam-
ple, separate services can be created for landscape-mode printing and
portrait-mode printing. Similarly, separate services can be created
for DIGITAL mode and IBM ProPrinter mode printing for a single LA75
printer.

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS supports all PostScript printers sup-
ported by OpenVMS. Selected PostScript printers may optionally need
the DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS (DCPS) software to provide access
through the OpenVMS queuing system over TCP/IP or DECnet. The DECprint
Supervisor for OpenVMS (DCPS) product provides PostScript and DEC ANSI
printing to selected industry-standard PostScript printers.

By default, you manage shared printers using the Advanced Server for
OpenVMS ADMINISTER command-line interface. However, the Advanced Server
for OpenVMS gives you the option of configuring the server to support
management of shared printers from Windows NT, using the Windows NT
print services. Whichever style of management you choose, you only have
full functionality from the style chosen - you cannot have full man-
agement functionality with both. Advantages of the Windows NT style
of management include:

o  Simple management of Advanced Server shared printers by using the
   Windows NT print services dialog boxes.

o  When adding a printer to the Advanced Server, the Windows NT Add
   Printer Wizard installs the required drivers for the printer on the
   server; these drivers are provided by the administrator (such as
   from the Windows NT installation CD-ROM). When a client is set up
   to use the printer, these drivers are available for downloading.
   When new drivers are distributed, administrators have to update a
   single location only.

o  Use of Windows NT access permissions for Advanced Server shared print-
   ers.

                                 6

 

Sharing of Network Resources by Heterogeneous Users

Services provided by Advanced Server are accessible to PATHWORKS clients
as well as to Microsoft clients. All clients using the services of the
Advanced Server for OpenVMS must be properly licensed. (For more in-
formation, see the section SOFTWARE LICENSING.)

Files are stored on the server in native OpenVMS RMS format. This al-
lows information stored by the PCs using Advanced Server to be shared
with traditional OpenVMS users. In addition, this feature allows in-
formation to be shared among all clients.

Network Transport Support

Advanced Server for OpenVMS supports DECnet (Phase IV) and DECnet-Plus
(formerly known as DECnet/OSI) transport software as supported by 
OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3 and 7.2-1. The server also supports TCP/IP 
and NetBEUI network transport software. One or more transport stacks 
can work concurrently on the server.

Both the TCP/IP and DECnet transports are sold as separate Compaq prod-
ucts (require a separate license).

NetBEUI transport software is included with the Advanced Server soft-
ware. Using NetBEUI transport software, clients can access the server
in the LAN for file and print shares. NetBEUI is recommended for use
in small LAN-only environments of 50 nodes or less.

For information on supported network transport software, see the sec-
tion SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS.

NetBIOS Interface Support

The Advanced Server supports the NetBIOS interface in TCP/IP, DECnet,
and NetBEUI networks. However, a NetBIOS programming interface is not
provided. NetBIOS interface support includes the support of multiple
transport stacks on a single controller or different network controllers.



                                 7

 

NetBIOS support under TCP/IP includes both a p-node and a b-node RFC
1001/1002 implementation. Therefore, the NetBIOS interface is supported
under TCP/IP in both LAN and WAN environments. The Advanced Server Con-
figuration Manager utility allows you to select one or more of the fol-
lowing methods for NetBIOS name resolution for WAN support:

o  LMHOSTS file

o  Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)

o  DNS

Note: Enabling DNS allows the server and clients to use a specified
DNS name server for NetBIOS name resolution as a last resort if all
other methods fail to resolve a NetBIOS name. DNS is also used by server
clients to resolve the server cluster alias and to provide dynamic load
balancing and failover on servers in an OpenVMS Cluster in a WAN en-
vironment. The DNS name server used for load balancing must support
dynamic updates (Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) server, Version
8.1.1 or later).

DNS is not configured as a replacement for WINS or LMHOSTS but rather
as a supplement. The Advanced Server still uses WINS, LMHOSTS, or broad-
cast methods for resolving names.

Flexible Security Models

The Advanced Server allows you to choose one of two modes of security,
depending on the security best suited to the environment:

o  In Advanced Server Only mode, only the Advanced Server (Windows NT
   Server style) security model is enforced.

This mode is sufficient for most network environments. The Advanced
Server employs a user-level security model that provides precise con-
trol over access to shared resources, including disk devices, direc-
tories, and printers. Control is based on a password assigned to each
user account and the specific access permissions defined for the re-
sources.

                                 8

 

The Advanced Server incorporates enhanced features that provide a high
level of control over user and resource permissions and auditing. These
features include support of discretionary access control permissions
on individual files, directories, and resources and complete audit-
ing capabilities.

Like Windows NT Servers, Advanced Server does not support share-level
security and operates in user-level security mode only.

o  In the Advanced Server and OpenVMS security mode, both the 
   OpenVMS and Advanced Server security models are enforced.

Use of both security models is never necessary to control user access
to resources, but is provided to allow administrators of systems with
complex OpenVMS security controls already in place to use those same
controls to restrict access by client users. Note that use of the Ad-
vanced Server and OpenVMS security model results in the extra over-
head of validating both the Advanced Server and OpenVMS settings.

In addition, the Advanced Server supports password synchronization be-
tween OpenVMS and Advanced Server systems, and it supports user ac-
count lockout.

Domain Support

Advanced Server allows the network to be subdivided into domains (ad-
ministrative groups of servers and clients). Domains are a convenient
mechanism for controlling user access to the network and for manag-
ing large networks. The Advanced Server can be a member of a single
domain. The Advanced Server can be a Primary Domain Controller (PDC),
a Backup Domain Controller (BDC), or a member server.

The Advanced Server can be deployed as the PDC in a network compris-
ing other Advanced Servers, Windows NT Servers, PATHWORKS for 
OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers, or LAN Manager for OS/2 servers. It also
can act as a BDC for other Advanced Servers and Windows NT Server com-
puters. In addition, the Advanced Server can act as a BDC in Windows
2000 mixed-mode domains, or as a member server in native-mode and mixed-
mode Windows 2000 domains.

                                 9

 

The Advanced Server for UNIX can be part of the same domain with Ad-
vanced Server for OpenVMS and can be designated as either the PDC or
BDC.

Advanced Server for OpenVMS provides support for wide area networks
using one or more of the following methods:

o  LMHOSTS file

The presence of the LMHOSTS file on Advanced Server allows NetLogon
services and security database replication over wide area TCP/IP con-
figurations. This file contains a list of nodes from geographically
dispersed sites synchronized by the PDC and accessible to clients in
the server's domain. However, use of the LMHOSTS file for replication
over extreme distances or in networks with slow transmission speeds
is not recommended.

o  WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)

Support for WINS allows the Advanced Server to act as a WINS client;
that is, to use the name registration and resolution facilities avail-
able from Microsoft WINS services across routed wide area TCP/IP net-
works, thus enabling WAN support for domain functions, NetLogon ser-
vices, and security database replication.

o  DNS

This allows the Advanced Server and clients to use a DNS server for
NetBIOS name resolution. The Advanced Server and clients use DNS for
name resolution as a last resort if all other methods fail to resolve
a NetBIOS name.

Trust Relationships

The Advanced Server supports trusts. Trust relationships can allow users
from other domains to access resources in the local domain and/or lo-
cal domain users to access resources in other domains.

NetLogon Services

A single domain-wide logon lets a user access resources on any server
in a domain or on servers in other domains that trust the domain.

                                10

 

The domain capabilities of the Advanced Server make it possible for
a user to issue a single logon request to authenticate the user for
access to multiple servers in a network. The NetLogon service forces
the validation of users' logon requests. The logon server that pro-
cesses a request checks its copy of the domain-wide user accounts database
for the user name and password supplied in the logon request.

Network Browser Services

The Advanced Server can act as a Master Browser in a Windows NT net-
work.

TimeSource Services

DOS and Windows clients can request date and time information from the
Advanced Server and set the local workstation date and time to coin-
cide with it.

User Environment Management

Logon scripts can be used to configure MS-DOS and Windows workstation
user environments by making network connections and starting appli-
cations. User profiles can make workstations easier to use, as well
as controlling workstation access to network resources.

Server Management and Control

The Advanced Server can be managed from either the OpenVMS server or
a client workstation, using one of the following server management in-
terfaces:

o  The Advanced Server ADMINISTER command line interface, which can
   be accessed from a terminal or terminal emulator. It conforms to
   standard DCL command syntax.

o  Windows NT server administration tools, which are included in the
   Advanced Server software kit to be installed on Windows NT, Win-
   dows 95, Windows 98, and Windows for Workgroups workstations. These
   tools, including Server Manager, User Manager for Domains, and Event
   Viewer, allow you to administer Advanced Server and Windows NT Server
   computers from network clients.

                                11

 

o  Windows NT Server tools, which are available as part of the Windows NT
   Server.

o  Windows 2000 file and print server-related tools, which are avail-
   able as part of the Windows 2000 server.

Server management interfaces can be used to:

o  Manage file and printer shares, user accounts, and groups

o  Display and control server resources currently in use, such as ac-
   tive sessions, connections, and services

o  View context-sensitive online help that provides command syntax,
   options, and qualifiers for each menu item and command

The Advanced Server can be remotely administered from PATHWORKS and
Microsoft Windows client workstations. The Advanced Server can also
be managed remotely from Windows NT Server, Windows 2000 server, PATH-
WORKS Advanced Server, and other Advanced Server for OpenVMS systems.

Other Advanced Server tools are provided for management of other as-
pects of the file server. These tools are to be used for local server
management only and include:

o  The Advanced Server Configuration Manager utility (a character cell
   interface) to manage local server configuration parameters that are,
   for the most part, directly or indirectly related to the environ-
   ment in which the server operates, such as the server's usage of
   OpenVMS system resources. Any adjustments that need to be made to
   the OpenVMS SYSGEN parameters to support the running of the server
   are automatically performed by the Configuration Manager utility.

o  The Advanced Server Parameter Management utility (PWRK$REGUTL) to
   manage server configuration parameters that affect the behavior of
   the Advanced Server but not, for the most part, file server resource
   consumption.

o  The License Manager (a character cell interface) to manage the Li-
   cense Server.

                                12

 

Windows 2000 Support

The Advanced Server provides the following Windows 2000 support:

o  Support of Windows 2000 clients

o  As a backup domain controller or member server, support of Windows
   2000 domain controllers in a Windows 2000 mixed-mode domain; as a
   member server, support of Windows 2000 domain controllers in a pure
   (native) Windows 2000 domain

Integrating with Microsoft Environments

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS provides numerous Windows NT integra-
tion features, including those supported on OpenVMS Alpha systems. These
features include support of:

o  Extended File Specifications, based on ODS-5, with support of long
   names and deep directories

o  Unicode characters and extended character sets

o  Alias file names, generated automatically to provide compatibil-
   ity with legacy applications that only support file names that com-
   ply with the more limited MS-DOS name conventions

o  Remote management from:

   -  Network clients, using Windows NT server administration tools
      that are provided for installation on the clients

   -  Windows NT Servers, using tools available on the Windows NT Server

o  Windows NT management of shared printers

o  Windows NT security model

o  PDC, BDC, or member server participation in domains

o  Master Browser or Backup Browser participation in domains

o  Windows NT-compatible Server Message Block (SMB) file and print pro-
   tocols

                                13

 

o  Connections from a wide variety of Windows clients

Integrating with OpenVMS

Advanced Server encompasses many features of the OpenVMS operating sys-
tem, including OpenVMS Clusters and symmetric multiprocessing. OpenVMS
Cluster configurations provide load balancing failover availability
and extensive resource capacities by integrating multiple OpenVMS
systems that can be accessed using a single cluster name.

The Advanced Server includes support for a transport-independent clus-
ter alias NetBIOS name that allows multiple cluster members to appear
as a single server to the connecting clients. This support provides
higher availability. The cluster alias name has a load-balancing fea-
ture that connects clients to the cluster member that is the least loaded
at the time the session is established. The Advanced Server includes
a high performance, clusterwide distributed data cache that provides
scalability in a clustered environment.

The Advanced Server supports the use of ODS-2 disk volumes and ODS-5
disk volumes, a feature of OpenVMS V7.2 and later, for share and file
access by clients. The new ODS-5 based Enhanced File Specifications
provide support for long names.

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS is installed using the OpenVMS POLY-
CENTER Software Installation (PCSI) utility. The Advanced Server for
OpenVMS uses the OpenVMS Registry to store server parameters.

Integrating with External Authentication

External authentication is an optional feature that allows users to
log on to an OpenVMS system using their Advanced Server (domain se-
curity) user names and passwords. This feature is useful to OpenVMS
system managers who want to provide users with a single user name and
password combination for both OpenVMS login and Advanced Server net-
work logon.

For more information about external authentication for OpenVMS, re-
fer to the Software Product Description for OpenVMS Alpha and VAX (SPD
25.01.xx).

                                14

 

Integrating with OpenVMS Security

The Advanced Server provides an extension to the Windows NT security
model by supporting OpenVMS security enforcement as an optional en-
hancement.

Integrating with OpenVMS Registry

Advanced Server provides network users with access to the OpenVMS Reg-
istry. Advanced Server also stores its own configuration data in the
OpenVMS Registry. The Advanced Server provides the PWRK$REGUTL util-
ity for managing server configuration parameters in the OpenVMS Reg-
istry. The server parameters in the OpenVMS Registry can also be viewed
and managed from a Windows NT based registry editor.

Alerter Service

The Advanced Server includes an Alerter Service that sends automatic
alert messages to clients and users as specified in the Advanced Server
AlertNames parameter setting in the OpenVMS Registry.

Event Log Service

Event logs provide valuable information about server activities. The
administrator can select from several event types and can select, for
each, whether successful or unsuccessful attempts at specific oper-
ations are to generate event messages. Security event messages are gen-
erated based on the audit policy specified for the Advanced Server and
for files and directories.

Replicator Service

Windows NT Servers provide user data replication across domain con-
trollers using the Replicator service. The Replicator service is not
provided by Advanced Servers. Therefore, automatic replication of user
files and directories on Advanced Servers is not supported.

Installation Utilities

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS is installed on the OpenVMS operat-
ing system using the POLYCENTER Software Installation (PCSI) utility.

                                15

 

This utility is also used to verify that the installation was performed
properly and to remove installations.

The installation procedure allows you to install either the complete
Advanced Server software, the standalone License Server only, the stan-
dalone external authentication images only, or both standalone com-
ponents only.

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS installation procedure gives you the
option of delaying a reboot indefinitely, such as when you need to con-
figure or change more settings before rebooting.

PATHWORKS NetWare Server

The PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server software has been retired.
This product is no longer supported, and licenses to use this prod-
uct are no longer sold.

If you are running the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server on the
same system with Advanced Server, you must remove the NetWare server
software from the system before you install Advanced Server.

License Management

The Advanced Server offers license management for Client Access li-
censes, which can be used in either client-based or server-based mode.
(For details, see the section SOFTWARE LICENSING.)

The license deliverables for Advanced Server are Product Authoriza-
tion Keys (PAKs) that are then used with the OpenVMS License Manage-
ment Facility (LMF). These PAKs must be loaded into an LMF database,
using standard LMF procedures, on an OpenVMS operating system that is
hosting the Advanced Server or an Advanced Server License Server.

The two types of license management are:

o  Client-based license management. The Advanced Server provides a fa-
   cility called Advanced Server License Server that acts as a proxy
   for client systems that require license keys stored in the LMF database
   on an OpenVMS operating system.

                                16

 

A single copy of the License Server software provides and verifies Client
Access licenses being used in client-based mode.

The Advanced Server License Manager, which must be run on the same node
as the License Server, provides a user interface that allows the ad-
ministrator to monitor client-based license usage, to manage license
groups, to set alert levels, to set logging levels for licensing events,
to enable or disable the License Server, and to revoke assigned li-
censes. The Advanced Server License Manager is also used to preallo-
cate licenses to specific "groups" (including the special, predefined
Server-Based group described later).

Each LAN needs only one active Advanced Server License Server. (The
License Server provided with the Advanced Server supports Client Ac-
cess licenses for all supported clients.)

The Advanced Server License Registrar, which must be run on the same
system as the file server, verifies the licenses for clients request-
ing access to the server functions. Clients that can produce a valid
Client Access license are allowed access to the services offered by
the Advanced Server.

o  Server-based license management. The Advanced Server also allows
   client access based on the availability of Client Access licenses
   in the local LMF database being used in server-based mode. If a client
   requesting access to the server fails to produce a valid client-
   based license, the Advanced Server License Registrar software checks
   for the availability of a valid Client Access license being used
   in server-based mode. If one is available, the client is allowed
   access.

Client Access licenses can be put into server-based mode in one of two
ways:

   -  If the Advanced Server License Server was not configured for the
      system where Advanced Server is executing, then all Client Ac-
      cess licenses loaded into the local LMF database on that sys-
      tem will be used in server-based mode.


                                17

 

   -  If the Advanced Server License Server was configured for the sys-
      tem where Advanced Server is executing, then all Client Access
      licenses loaded into the local LMF database will, by default,
      be used in client-based mode.

To allow some or all of these licenses to be used in server-based mode,
use the Advanced Server License Manager to allocate a portion of those
licenses to the special, predefined "server-based group". Licenses avail-
able in the Server-Based group will then be available for use in server-
based mode.

Note: The Advanced Server allows you to simultaneously use Client Ac-
cess licenses in both client-based and server-based mode. However, be-
cause clients using Client Access licenses in client-based mode are
already licensed to use the server software, they never consume ad-
ditional Client Access licenses allocated for use in server-based mode.

LAN Manager and PATHWORKS Compatibility

The Advanced Server maintains compatibility with LAN Manager client
and server software. The Advanced Server also maintains compatibil-
ity with PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server).

A PATHWORKS V5.x for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) server:

o  Can be upgraded to an Advanced Server[1]

o  Can continue running PATHWORKS LAN Manager and act as a BDC, mem-
   ber server, or standalone server in a domain where the PDC is an
   Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer



____________________
[1]You  can upgrade PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) to PATHWORKS
  V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server), then upgrade PATHWORKS V6.0D for
  OpenVMS (Advanced Server) to Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The following systems, components, and peripherals are supported ex-
cept as noted.

Processors Supported

All Alpha processors supported by OpenVMS Version 7.3 and 7.2-1 are
also supported by Advanced Server for OpenVMS.

Memory Requirements

The Advanced Server requires a minimum of physical memory for proper
installation, configuration, and execution of the software, depend-
ing on the processor type:

o  On Alpha systems, a minimum of 64 MB

Note: These memory requirements are a minimum requirement only. Mem-
ory requirements can vary widely according to the server CPU, the num-
ber of clients using the server and their activities, and the number
and speed of the server's disks and the other applications running on
the server.

For example, a typical configuration supporting a light workload (word
processing or spreadsheet applications) for 50 PC users requires an
Alpha system with approximately 64 MB of memory. This means that 80%
of the system memory and CPU time are dedicated to the Advanced Server,
even though some work might use less.

OPTIONAL HARDWARE

PostScript Printers

The Advanced Server supports all PostScript printers supported by 
OpenVMS. Selected PostScript printers may optionally need the DECprint 
Supervisor for OpenVMS (DCPS) software to provide access through the 
OpenVMS queuing system over TCP/IP or DECnet. Refer to SPD 44.15.xx for
a complete list of the DIGITAL PostScript printers and other PostScript
printers supported by DCPS.

                                19

 

DIGITAL PostScript printers connected by serial lines or DECservers
and printers attached directly to the Ethernet are supported.

Network Interface Controllers

Advanced Server supports the following Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring
network hardware devices:

o  For the TCP/IP transport, Advanced Server supports the network hard-
   ware devices supported by the specific TCP/IP product. Refer to the
   Software Product Description for Compaq TCP/IP Services for Open-
   VMS (SPD 46.46.xx). For information on what software versions of
   the Compaq TCP/IP for OpenVMS are supported, see SOFTWARE REQUIRE-
   MENTS. For information on other TCP/IP products, contact the ven-
   dor.

o  For the DECnet transport using Ethernet, FDDI, or Token Ring, see
   the SPD for the following product:

   -  Compaq DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Alpha, SPD 50.45.xx

For information on what software versions of DECnet are supported, see
SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS.

o  For the NetBEUI transport, Advanced Server provides the same level
   of support for Ethernet and FDDI as the OpenVMS Alpha and VAX op-
   erating systems. For more information, see SPD 25.01.xx.

Note: Advanced Server does not support the DEFZA FDDI controller.

CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

Advanced Server runs on members of OpenVMS Clusters. OpenVMS Cluster
configurations are fully described in the Software Product Descrip-
tion for OpenVMS Cluster Software (SPD 29.78.xx)

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS can run on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3
or 7.2-1 members of an OpenVMS Cluster. However, all cluster members


                                20

 

upon which the Advanced Server for OpenVMS runs must run the same ver-
sion of OpenVMS Alpha, either Version 7.3 or 7.2-1. The OpenVMS Reg-
istry does not support mixed-OpenVMS-version clusters. If you are cur-
rently running the Advanced Server for OpenVMS in a cluster, and you
want to upgrade to OpenVMS Version 7.3, you must upgrade all the clus-
ter members to OpenVMS Version 7.3 at the same time. Compaq realizes
that this might be inconvenient to some customers and is addressing
the issue. Contact your Compaq support representative for current sta-
tus.

Advanced Server supports up to 31 server nodes in a cluster. In other
words, no more than 31 nodes in a cluster can run Advanced Server con-
currently. In a typical scenario, the server is run on only a few cen-
tral nodes - to exploit the cluster's shared disks and high-speed in-
terconnect environment.

In a cluster, Advanced Server supports simultaneous file access by all
nodes running the server. A central event log, central Advanced Server
accounts, and share databases are maintained in a cluster. In an Ad-
vanced Server domain, the OpenVMS Cluster represents a single domain
member, whether it is acting as the PDC, BDC, or a member server.

SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

Operating System

o  OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3 or 7.2-1

For minimum hardware requirements of the operating system, refer to
the Software Product Description for OpenVMS Alpha and VAX (SPD 25.01.xx).

Network Transport Software

Advanced Server includes NetBEUI network transport software. TCP/IP
or DECnet network transport software might also be required by Advanced
Server, depending on the transport used by clients requiring connec-
tions to the server, or for use of some features.



                                21

 

When the Advanced Server is to be used in a TCP/IP environment, OpenVMS-
based TCP/IP software is required. This software must be purchased sep-
arately. The following TCP/IP transports support the Advanced Server:

o  Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS; the versions supported for each
   version of the OpenVMS operating system are indicated in Table 1,
   Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Versions Supported

o  MultiNet for OpenVMS, from Process Software LLC[2]

PATHWORKS Software

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS cannot run on the same system as other
PATHWORKS server products; specifically, this includes:

o  PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager). You can upgrade the PATH-
   WORKS LAN Manager V5.0 server to PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Ad-
   vanced Server). Running the Advanced Server on a system also run-
   ning the PATHWORKS LAN Manager V5.0 server is not possible or sup-
   ported. You cannot continue to run the PATHWORKS LAN Manager soft-
   ware, once the Advanced Server software has been installed. The Ad-
   vanced Server cannot coexist on the same OpenVMS Cluster with the
   PATHWORKS LAN Manager V5.0 server.

o  PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). You can upgrade the
   PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) to Advanced Server
   for OpenVMS. Running any PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)
   server on a system also running the Advanced Server for OpenVMS is
   not possible or supported. You cannot continue to run the PATHWORKS
   for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) once the Advanced Server for OpenVMS
   software has been installed. The Advanced Server for OpenVMS cannot
   coexist on the same OpenVMS Cluster with PATHWORKS for OpenVMS
   (Advanced Server).

The Advanced Server maintains down-level compatibility with LAN Man-
ager client and server software. LAN Manager users can add an Advanced
Server to an existing network and migrate to the new technology at their
own pace. A PATHWORKS LAN Manager server can be upgraded to act as a

                                23

 

BDC, member server, or standalone server in a network in which the PDC
is an Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer.

The Advanced Server can be deployed as a PDC in a network comprising
other Advanced Server servers, Windows NT Servers, PATHWORKS for OpenVMS
(Advanced Server) servers, PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers,
or LAN Manager for OS/2 Servers. It can also act as a BDC for other
Advanced Server, PATHWORKS Advanced Server, or Windows NT Server com-
puters.

PRODUCT NAME:  Compaq PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)

DESCRIPTION

Compaq PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server), also known as the PATH-
WORKS Advanced Server, is an OpenVMS layered application and network
operating system that is compatible with the Microsoft networking tech-
nology. In particular, PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) is based
on the Windows NT Server, but it provides additional features. It en-
hances the Windows NT Server functionality by incorporating both OpenVMS
and Microsoft technology to deliver powerful features for network
administration and enhanced security. The Advanced Server can oper-
ate independently or in cooperation with the Windows NT Server.

As a server for workstations on a network, PATHWORKS Advanced Server
provides file and print shares that enable a community of desktop users
to share computing resources efficiently. PATHWORKS Advanced Server
can function as a simple file and print server for a small, isolated
community of users or as the foundation of a large network distributed
over a wide geographical area.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server software lets DOS, Windows, Windows NT, Win-
dows 95, Windows 98, and OpenVMS users share printers connected to VAX
computers, Alpha computers, or OpenVMS Cluster systems, as well as network-
based printers such as LAT printers and PrintServers.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server represents LAN Manager systems technology.
It enhances the LAN Manager functionality by incorporating Microsoft
technology to deliver powerful features for network administration and
enhanced security. PATHWORKS Advanced Server can operate independently
or in cooperation with systems running Windows NT Server software.







                                25

 

FEATURES

PATHWORKS Advanced Server adds an additional dimension to general pur-
pose OpenVMS systems. In addition to providing traditional support for
business, scientific, and engineering applications, PATHWORKS Advanced
Server allows an OpenVMS system to appear to PC clients as a Windows NT
Server.

The major features of PATHWORKS Advanced Server are described in the
following sections.

File Services

PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides clients with a remote file system
that appears as a transparent extension of the client system's local
computing environment.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server file shares are based on Microsoft's Advanced
Server V3.0 SMB (Server Message Block) protocols.

Each file stored in a file service is stored as an OpenVMS file in Record
Management Services (RMS) format. Three types of RMS file or record
formats are allowed and supported on each volume:

o  Sequential stream

o  Sequential fixed length record (512 bytes per record)

o  Sequential undefined

Files stored in a file service are accessible to PC clients, to 
OpenVMS users, and to applications that can interpret the content and 
organization of a file written by the client application.

Multiple LAN Manager clients can concurrently access files stored on
the server's disk through the file access modes and byte-range lock-
ing support provided by PATHWORKS Advanced Server.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server lets users share OpenVMS files. You can use
discretionary access Windows NT controls on each file and directory
to specify the groups and users that can access files, to define the
levels of access that each group or user is permitted, and to control

                                26

 

auditing supported by Windows NT-like security. Additional, optional
security is provided by OpenVMS file and directory protections.

Print Shares

PATHWORKS Advanced Server software lets DOS, Windows, Windows NT, Win-
dows 95, Windows 98, and OpenVMS users share printers connected to VAX
computers, Alpha computers, or OpenVMS Cluster systems, as well as network-
based printers such as LAT printers and PrintServers. Print shares are
supported in local area network (LAN) and wide area network (WAN) en-
vironments. PC clients can print files from the DOS, Windows, Windows
95, Windows 98, and Windows NT operating systems as well as from PC
applications.

Multiple print shares can be defined for a single printer. For exam-
ple, separate services can be created for landscape-mode printing and
portrait-mode printing. Similarly, separate services can be created
for DIGITAL mode and IBM ProPrinter mode printing for a single LA75
printer.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports the DECprint Supervisor for 
OpenVMS (DCPS) product, which provides PostScript and DEC ANSI 
printing to selected industry-standard PostScript printers.

Sharing of Network Resources by Heterogeneous Users

Services provided by PATHWORKS Advanced Server are accessible to PATH-
WORKS clients as well as to Microsoft clients. All clients using the
services of a PATHWORKS Advanced Server must be properly licensed. (For
more information, see the section SOFTWARE LICENSING.)

Files are stored on the server in native OpenVMS RMS format. This al-
lows information stored by the PCs using PATHWORKS Advanced Server to
be shared with traditional OpenVMS users. In addition, this feature
allows information to be shared among all clients.

Network Transport Support

PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports TCP/IP, DECnet (Phase IV), DECnet-
Plus (formerly known as DECnet/OSI), and NetBEUI network transport soft-
ware. One or more transport stacks can work concurrently on the server.

                                27

 

Both the TCP/IP and DECnet network transports are sold as separate Com-
paq products (require a separate license).

NetBEUI transport software is included with PATHWORKS Advanced Server
software. Using NetBEUI transport software, LAN Manager clients can
access the server in the LAN for file and print shares. NetBEUI is rec-
ommended for use in small LAN-only environments of 50 nodes or less.
For information on supported network transport software, see the sec-
tion SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS.

NetBIOS Interface Support

PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports the NetBIOS interface in TCP/IP,
DECnet, and NetBEUI networks. However, a NetBIOS programming inter-
face is not provided. NetBIOS interface support includes the support
of multiple transport stacks on a single controller or different net-
work controllers.

NetBIOS support under TCP/IP includes both a p-node and a b-node RFC
1001/1002 implementation. Therefore, the NetBIOS interface is supported
under TCP/IP in both LAN and WAN environments. The PATHWORKS Advanced
Server Configuration Manager utility allows you to select one or both
of the following methods for NetBIOS name resolution for WAN support:

o  LMHOSTS file

o  Windows Internet Name Service (WINS)

Flexible Security Models

The Advanced Server allows you to choose one of two modes of security,
depending on the security best suited to the environment:

o  In Advanced Server Only mode, only the Advanced Server (Windows NT
   Server style) security model is enforced.

This mode is sufficient for most network environments. The Advanced
Server employs a user-level security model that provides precise con-
trol over access to shared resources, including disk devices, direc-
tories, and printers. Control is based on a password assigned to each

                                28

 

user account and the specific access permissions defined for the re-
sources.

The Advanced Server incorporates enhanced features that provide a high
level of control over user and resource permissions and auditing. These
features include support of discretionary access control permissions
on individual files, directories, and resources and complete audit-
ing capabilities.

Like Windows NT Servers, Advanced Server does not support share-level
security and operates in user-level security mode only.

o  In the Advanced Server and OpenVMS security mode, both the OpenVMS
   and Advanced Server security models are enforced.

Use of both security models is never necessary to control user access
to resources, but is provided to allow administrators of systems with
complex OpenVMS security controls already in place to use those same
controls to restrict access by client users. Note that use of the Ad-
vanced Server and OpenVMS security model results in the extra over-
head of validating both the Advanced Server and OpenVMS settings.

In addition, the Advanced Server supports password synchronization be-
tween OpenVMS and Advanced Server systems, and it supports user ac-
count lockout.

Domain Support

PATHWORKS Advanced Server allows the network to be subdivided into do-
mains (administrative groups of servers and clients). Each PATHWORKS
Advanced Server can be a member of a single domain. A PATHWORKS Ad-
vanced Server can be a Primary Domain Controller (PDC) or a Backup Do-
main Controller (BDC). Domains are a convenient mechanism for control-
ling user access to the network and for managing large networks.

The Advanced Server can be deployed as the PDC in a network compris-
ing other Advanced Servers, Windows NT Servers, PATHWORKS for OpenVMS
(LAN Manager) servers, or LAN Manager for OS/2 servers. It also
can act as a BDC for other Advanced Servers and Windows NT Server com-
puters.

                                29

 

Advanced Server for UNIX, as well as any Windows NT compatible server,
can be part of the same domain with PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced
Server) and can be designated as either the PDC or BDC.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides support for wide area domains us-
ing one or both of the following methods:

o  LMHOSTS file

The presence of the LMHOSTS file on the PATHWORKS Advanced Server al-
lows NetLogon services and security database replication over wide area
TCP/IP configurations. This file contains a list of nodes from geo-
graphically dispersed sites synchronized by the PDC and accessible to
clients in the server's domain. However, use of the LMHOSTS file for
replication over extreme distances or in networks with slow transmis-
sion speeds is not recommended.

o  WINS (Windows Internet Name Service)

Support for WINS allows PATHWORKS Advanced Server to act as a WINS client;
that is, to use the name registration and resolution facilities avail-
able from Microsoft WINS services across routed wide area TCP/IP net-
works, thus enabling WAN support for domain functions, NetLogon ser-
vices, and security database replication.

Trust Relationships

PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports trusts. Trust relationships can al-
low users from other domains to access resources in the local domain
and/or local domain users to access resources in other domains.

NetLogon Services

A single domain-wide logon lets a user access resources on any server
in a domain or on servers in other domains that trust the domain.

The domain capabilities of PATHWORKS Advanced Server make it possi-
ble for a user to issue a single logon request to authenticate the user
for access to multiple servers in a network. The NetLogon service forces
the validation of users' logon requests. The logon server that pro-
cesses a request checks its copy of the domain-wide user accounts database
for the user name and password supplied in the logon request.

                                30

 

Network Browser Services

PATHWORKS Advanced Server can act as a Master Browser in a Windows NT
network.

TimeSource Services

DOS, Windows, and clients can request date and time information from
the PATHWORKS Advanced Server and set the local workstation date and
time to coincide with it.

User Environment Management

Logon scripts can be used to configure MS-DOS and Windows workstation
user environments by making network connections and starting appli-
cations. User profiles can make workstations easier to use, as well
as controlling workstation access to network resources.

Server Management and Control

PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be managed from either the OpenVMS server
or a client workstation, using one of the following server management
interfaces:

o  PATHWORKS Advanced Server ADMINISTER command line interface, which
   can be accessed from a terminal or terminal emulator. It conforms
   to standard DCL command syntax.

o  Windows NT server administration tools, which are included in the
   PATHWORKS Advanced Server software kit to be installed on Windows NT,
   Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows for Workgroups workstations.
   These tools, including Server Manager, User Manager for Domains,
   and Event Viewer, allow you to administer PATHWORKS Advanced Server
   and Windows NT Server computers from network clients.

o  Windows NT Server tools, which are available as part of the Windows NT
   Server.

Server management interfaces can be used to:

o  Manage file and printer shares, user accounts, and groups

                                31

 

o  Display and control server resources currently in use, such as ac-
   tive sessions, connections, and services

o  View context-sensitive online help that provides command syntax,
   options, and qualifiers for each menu item and command

PATHWORKS Advanced Server can be remotely administered from PATHWORKS
and Microsoft Windows client workstations. PATHWORKS Advanced Server
can also be managed remotely from Windows NT Server, Advanced Server
for OpenVMS, and other PATHWORKS Advanced Server systems.

Other PATHWORKS Advanced Server tools are provided for management of
other aspects of the file server. These tools are to be used for lo-
cal server management only and include:

o  The PATHWORKS Advanced Server Configuration Manager utility (a char-
   acter cell interface) to manage local server configuration param-
   eters that are, for the most part, directly or indirectly related
   to the environment in which the server operates, such as the server's
   usage of OpenVMS system resources. Any adjustments that need to be
   made to the OpenVMS SYSGEN parameters to support the running of the
   server are automatically performed by the Configuration Manager util-
   ity.

o  The PATHWORKS License Manager (a character cell interface) to man-
   age the PATHWORKS License Server.

Integrating with Microsoft Environments

The Advanced Server provides numerous Windows NT integration features,
such as:

o  Remote management from:

   -  Network clients, using Windows NT server administration tools
      that are provided for installation on the clients

   -  Windows NT Servers, using tools available on the Windows NT Server

o  Windows NT security model

o  PDC or BDC server participation in domains

                                32

 

o  Master Browser or Backup Browser participation in domains

o  Windows NT-compatible Server Message Block (SMB) file and print pro-
   tocols

o  Connections from a wide variety of Windows clients

Integrating with OpenVMS

PATHWORKS Advanced Server encompasses many features of the OpenVMS op-
erating system, including OpenVMS Clusters and symmetric multiprocess-
ing. OpenVMS Cluster configurations provide failover availability and
extensive resource capacities by integrating multiple OpenVMS systems
that can be accessed using a single cluster name.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes support for a transport-independent
PATHWORKS cluster alias NetBIOS name that allows multiple cluster mem-
bers to appear as a single server to the connecting clients. This sup-
port provides higher availability. The PATHWORKS cluster alias name
has a load-balancing feature that connects clients to the cluster mem-
ber that is the least loaded at the time the session is established.
PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes a high performance, clusterwide dis-
tributed data cache that provides scalability in a clustered environ-
ment.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server can run on both VAX and Alpha members of ho-
mogeneous or mixed architecture OpenVMS Clusters. PATHWORKS Advanced
Server on Alpha systems supports the use of ODS-2 disk volumes and 
ODS-5 disk volumes, a feature of OpenVMS Version 7.2 and higher, for 
share and file access by clients. However, PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS 
(Advanced Server) does not support the features of ODS-5 devices; 
instead, it treats the ODS-5 device as an ODS-2 device.

Integrating with External Authentication

External authentication is an optional feature that allows users to
log on to an OpenVMS system using their PATHWORKS Advanced Server user
names and passwords. This feature is useful to OpenVMS system managers
who want to provide users with a single user name and password com-
bination for both OpenVMS login and PATHWORKS Advanced Server network
logon.

                                33

 

Note that external authentication is supported on OpenVMS. If exter-
nal authentication is being used in an OpenVMS Cluster, all cluster
members should be configured to process OpenVMS logon requests for net-
work users. If one or more members do not support external authenti-
cation, user logins might result in unpredictable behavior. To ensure
that external authentication works properly on the cluster, each node
in the cluster should be at OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1 or later, or Open-
VMS VAX 7.2 or later.

For more information about external authentication for OpenVMS, re-
fer to the Software Product Description (SPD 25.01.xx).

Integrating with OpenVMS Security

PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides an extension to the Windows NT se-
curity model by supporting OpenVMS security enforcement as an optional
enhancement.

Alerter Service

PATHWORKS Advanced Server includes an Alerter Service that sends au-
tomatic alert messages to clients and users as specified in the LAN-
MAN.INI file.

Event Log Service

Event logs provide valuable information about server activities. The
administrator can select from several event types and can select, for
each, whether successful or unsuccessful attempts at specific oper-
ations are to generate event messages. Security event messages are gen-
erated based on the audit policy specified for the PATHWORKS Advanced
Server and for files and directories.

Replicator Service

Windows NT Servers provide user data replication across domain con-
trollers using the Replicator service. The Replicator service is not
provided on PATHWORKS Advanced Servers. Therefore, automatic repli-
cation of user files and directories on PATHWORKS Advanced Servers is
not supported.

                                34

 

Installation Utilities

PATHWORKS Advanced Server is installed on OpenVMS systems using the
standard VMSINSTAL procedure. An Installation Verification Procedure
(IVP) is also included, which can be used to confirm that the server
software has been installed properly.

The installation procedure allows you to install PATHWORKS Advanced
Server with the integrated License Server or just the standalone Li-
cense Server, the external authentication images (except on OpenVMS
V6.2), or the Upgrade utility.

PATHWORKS NetWare Server

The PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server software has been retired.
This product is no longer supported, and licenses to use this prod-
uct are no longer sold.

If you are running the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server on the
same system with PATHWORKS Advanced Server, you must remove the Net-
Ware server software from the system before you install PATHWORKS Ad-
vanced Server.

License Management

PATHWORKS Advanced Server offers license management for Client Access
licenses, which can be used in either client-based or server-based mode.
(For details, see the section SOFTWARE LICENSING.)

The license deliverables for PATHWORKS products are Product Authoriza-
tion Keys (PAKs) that are then used with the OpenVMS License Manage-
ment Facility (LMF). These PAKs must be loaded into an LMF database,
using standard LMF procedures, on an OpenVMS system that is hosting
a PATHWORKS Advanced Server or a PATHWORKS License Server.

The two types of license management are:

o  Client-based license management. PATHWORKS Advanced Server provides
   a facility called PATHWORKS License Server that acts as a proxy for
   client systems that require license keys stored in the LMF database
   on an OpenVMS system.

                                35

 

A single copy of the PATHWORKS License Server software provides and
verifies Client Access licenses being used in client-based mode by clients
running LAN Manager protocols.

The PATHWORKS License Manager, which must be run on the same node as
the License Server, provides a user interface that allows the admin-
istrator to monitor client-based license usage, to manage license groups,
to set alert levels, to set logging levels for licensing events, to
enable or disable the License Server, and to revoke assigned licenses.
The PATHWORKS License Manager is also used to preallocate licenses to
specific "groups" (including the special, predefined server-based group
described later).

Each LAN needs only one active PATHWORKS License Server. (The License
Server provided with PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports Client Access
licenses for all supported clients.)

The PATHWORKS License Registrar, which must be run on the same sys-
tem as the file server, verifies the licenses for clients requesting
access to the server functions. Clients that can produce a valid Client
Access license are allowed access to the services offered by the PATH-
WORKS Advanced Server.

o  Server-based license management. PATHWORKS Advanced Server also al-
   lows client access based on the availability of Client Access li-
   censes in the local LMF database being used in server-based mode.
   If a client requesting access to the server fails to produce a valid
   client-based license, the PATHWORKS License Registrar software checks
   for the availability of a valid Client Access license being used
   in server-based mode. If one is available, the client is allowed
   access.

Client Access licenses can be put into server-based mode in one of two
ways:

   -  If the PATHWORKS License Server was not configured for the sys-
      tem where PATHWORKS Advanced Server is executing, then all Client
      Access licenses loaded into the local LMF database on that sys-
      tem will be used in server-based mode.

                                36

 

   -  If the PATHWORKS License Server was configured for the system
      where PATHWORKS Advanced Server is executing, then all Client
      Access licenses loaded into the local LMF database will, by de-
      fault, be used in client-based mode.

To allow some or all of these licenses to be used in server-based mode,
use the PATHWORKS License Manager to allocate a portion of those li-
censes to the special, predefined Server-Based group. Licenses avail-
able in the Server-Based group will then be available for use in server-
based mode.

Note: PATHWORKS Advanced Server allows you to simultaneously use Client
Access licenses in both client-based and server-based mode. However,
because clients using Client Access licenses in client-based mode are
already licensed to use the server software, they never consume ad-
ditional Client Access licenses allocated for use in server-based mode.

Accommodation of Retired Features

The following features of PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) are
not provided in PATHWORKS V6.0x for OpenVMS (Advanced Server):

o  Standalone and member server roles. PATHWORKS Advanced Server can
   be configured as a PDC or BDC.

o  FAT volumes. To continue to provide FAT volume access to clients,
   you must maintain the PATHWORKS LAN Manager server on a separate
   system. Files held within shares on a FAT volume must be migrated
   to PATHWORKS LAN Manager shares before you upgrade to PATHWORKS Ad-
   vanced Server.

o  Backward compatibility mode. This mode is used to ease the migra-
   tion from PATHWORKS V4.x to PATHWORKS LAN Manager. Make sure all
   clients making use of this connection format are upgraded before
   the installation of PATHWORKS Advanced Server.

o  Remote Boot service. If clients depend on remote booting, you must
   maintain the PATHWORKS LAN Manager server on a separate system. Trans-
   fer this function to another server that supports Remote Boot ser-
   vice before the upgrade.

                                37

 

o  Share-level security. PATHWORKS Advanced Server manages access to
   all resources through user-level security.

o  LAN Manager and creator security mode. The server can be config-
   ured for PATHWORKS Advanced Server Only security model or for PATH-
   WORKS Advanced Server and OpenVMS security model.

o  PATHWORKS LAN Manager Net command line interface and ADMINISTER/PATHWORKS
   character cell interface. These features were replaced by the PATH-
   WORKS Advanced Server ADMINISTER command line interface. The AD-
   MINISTER command line interface provides automatic translation of
   a subset of Net commands that have ADMINISTER command equivalents.

Compatibility

PATHWORKS Advanced Server maintains compatibility with LAN Manager client
and server software. A PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) server:

o  Can be upgraded to a PATHWORKS Advanced Server

o  Can continue running PATHWORKS LAN Manager and act as a BDC, mem-
   ber server, or standalone server in a domain where the PDC is a PATH-
   WORKS Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer.

HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS

The following systems, components, and peripherals are supported ex-
cept as noted.

Processors Supported

All VAX and Alpha processors supported by OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3,
7.2-1, and 6.2, and by OpenVMS VAX Version 7.3, 7.2, and 6.2, are also
supported by PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server), except for
the following:





                                38

 


GPX II

MicroVAX:   MicroVAX I, MicroVAX II, MicroVAX 2000, MicroVAX 3100
            Model 40 and lower

VAX:        VAX-11/725, VAX-11/730, VAX 11/750, VAX 11/780, VAX
            11/782, VAX 11/785

VAXstation: VAXstation I, VAXstation II, VAXstation 2000, 
            VAXstation 4000 VLC, VAXstation 8000

Memory Requirements

PATHWORKS Advanced Server requires a minimum of physical memory for
proper installation, configuration, and execution of the software, de-
pending on the processor type:

o  On Alpha systems, a minimum of 64 MB

o  On VAX systems, a minimum of 64 MB

Note: These memory requirements are a minimum requirement only. Mem-
ory requirements can vary widely according to the server CPU, the num-
ber of clients using the server and their activities, and the number
and speed of the server's disks and the other applications running on
the server.

For example, a typical configuration supporting a light workload (word
processing or spreadsheet applications) for 50 PC users requires an
Alpha system with approximately 64 MB of memory. This means that 80%
of the system memory and CPU time are dedicated to PATHWORKS Advanced
Server, even though some work might use less.







                                39

   same level of support for Ethernet and FDDI as the OpenVMS oper-
   ating system. For more information, see SPD 25.01.xx.

Note: PATHWORKS Advanced Server does not support the DEFZA FDDI con-
troller.

CLUSTER ENVIRONMENT

PATHWORKS Advanced Server runs on members of OpenVMS Clusters. 
OpenVMS Cluster configurations are fully described in the Software 
Product Description for OpenVMS Cluster Software (SPD 29.78.xx).

PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports up to 31 server nodes in a clus-
ter. In other words, no more than 31 nodes in a cluster can run PATH-
WORKS Advanced Server concurrently. In a typical scenario, the server
is run on only a few central nodes - to exploit the cluster's shared
disks and high-speed interconnect environment.

In a cluster, PATHWORKS Advanced Server supports simultaneous file ac-
cess by all nodes running the server. A central event log, central Ad-
vanced Server accounts, and share databases are maintained in a clus-
ter. In a PATHWORKS Advanced Server domain, the OpenVMS Cluster rep-
resents a single domain member, whether it is acting as the PDC or as
a BDC.

Other PATHWORKS Server Software

The following PATHWORKS server products cannot run on the same sys-
tem as PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server):

                                43

 

o  PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager). You can upgrade the PATH-
   WORKS LAN Manager V5.0 server to PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Ad-
   vanced Server). Running the PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced
   Server) server on a system also running the PATHWORKS LAN Manager
   V5.0 server is not possible or supported. You cannot continue to
   run the PATHWORKS LAN Manager software, once the PATHWORKS Advanced
   Server software has been installed. PATHWORKS Advanced Server can-
   not coexist on the same OpenVMS Cluster with PATHWORKS LAN Manager
   V5.0 server.

o  PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). You can upgrade any of
   the previous PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) servers (V6.0
   through V6.0C) to PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server).
   Running any of these earlier servers on a system also running the
   PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) is not possible or
   supported. Once the PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)
   has been installed, you cannot continue to run an earlier version
   of the server. PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) can-
   not coexist on the same OpenVMS Cluster with any of the earlier PATH-
   WORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) servers.

PATHWORKS Advanced Server maintains down-level compatibility with LAN
Manager client and server software. LAN Manager users can add PATH-
WORKS Advanced Server to an existing network and migrate to the new
technology at their own pace. A PATHWORKS LAN Manager server can be
upgraded to PATHWORKS Advanced Server technology or act as a BDC, mem-
ber server, or standalone server in a network in which the PDC is a
PATHWORKS Advanced Server or a Windows NT Server computer. PATHWORKS
Advanced Server can be deployed as a PDC in a network comprising other
PATHWORKS Advanced Servers, Windows NT Servers, PATHWORKS for Open-
VMS (LAN Manager) servers, or LAN Manager for OS/2 Servers. It can also
act as a BDC for other PATHWORKS Advanced Server or Windows NT Server
computers.

Advanced Server for OpenVMS Software

The Advanced Server for OpenVMS cannot run on the same system as the
PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). The PATHWORKS V6.0D for


                                44

 

OpenVMS (Advanced Server) cannot coexist on the same OpenVMS Cluster
with any of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS products.

Licensing and Ordering Information:  Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS
and PATHWORKS V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)

SOFTWARE LICENSING

Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS[3] is purchased by licensing the clients
or applications that use the services provided by the product. There
is no additional fee.

The license required for clients to use Advanced Server file and print
services[4] is referred to as a Client Access license. Though there
is only one license sold for any client using this Advanced Server,
this license can be used in one of two ways:

o  Client-based mode (also known as per-seat mode)

o  Server-based mode (also known as per-server or concurrent use mode)

These two different licensing modes are described in the following text.

o  Client-based licensing mode. When a license for Advanced Server is
   used in client-based licensing mode, the right to use the server
   is assigned electronically to a particular client or seat. Once the

____________________
[3]PATHWORKS  V6.0D for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) is licensed for use in
  exactly the same way as Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS (Advanced
  Server).  Though previously purchased licenses continue to be valid
  for use with pre-V6 servers, only the new Client Access licenses can
  be purchased when adding new clients to existing systems.
   In particular, all the licenses listed in Table 6, Previous Version
  Licenses Qualifying for Upgrade Licenses, are no longer sold but con-
  tinue to be valid and grant the right to use the PATHWORKS V5.0 for
  OpenVMS (LAN Manager) software.
[4]COM for OpenVMS users will not require a license to use the Advanced
  Server.  Only clients using the file and print servers will require
  a license.

                                46

 

   right is assigned, the client system can access all systems run-
   ning Advanced Server as well as all systems running any previous
   version of the file and print server. [5]

This mode of licensing Advanced Server is normally used when a cus-
tomer has more than one server and where clients normally access more
than one server at the same time. Because only one license per client
is required regardless of how many servers are being accessed, the client-
based licensing mode can be more economical in these situations when
compared to server-based mode (described later).

Because a client with a client-based license cannot be refused access
to a server due to license limits, this mode of licensing is also use-
ful when you need to guarantee that a particular system will always
have access to one or more servers.

Note: To use this licensing mode, a small licensing agent must be loaded
and enabled on each licensed client. The code for this licensing agent
is distributed with the Advanced Server, is available free on the Web,
and is also available on CD-ROM at a nominal fee.

o  Server-based licensing mode. When a license for Advanced Server [6]
   is used in server-based licensing mode, any client can then access
   the server and make as many connections to file services and print
   shares as needed.



____________________
[5]The  PAK associated with the Client Access license will work, in client-
  based mode, only with PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers
  that have been upgraded to a minimum of V5.0F. Prior revisions of this
  product will not recognize or use this PAK.
[6]The  PAK associated with the Client Access license will work, in server-
  based mode, only with PATHWORKS V5.0 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) servers
  that have been upgraded to a minimum of V5.0F. Prior revisions of this
  product will not recognize or use this PAK in this mode.

                                47

 

The Advanced Server will allow up to "n" clients to access its ser-
vices concurrently, where "n" is the total number of licenses being
used in server-based licensing mode. The server will not allow the "n+1st"
client to access its services, until one of the first "n" clients has
disconnected from the server.

Note: Though a server can have only "n" licenses available, any num-
ber of clients can potentially access that server. The restriction is
based only on the total number of clients that might connect to the
server at one time.

For example, if you have 100 licenses assigned to an Advanced Server
in server-based licensing mode, then any 100 clients can make use of
all services offered by the Advanced Server at one time. However, if
an additional client (the 101st) attempts to connect to the server,
the client will be denied access until one of the connected clients
disconnects from all services.

Server-based licensing works best in situations where all clients use
or access only one server and there are enough licenses available on
each system for all clients to access their assigned server. A "sys-
tem" is defined as either a standalone system or a cluster.[7]

Note: Customers can choose which mode to use or to use a combination
of both modes. They can change the licensing mode, as their situation
dictates, without contacting or notifying Compaq.

____________________
[7]When  using server-based licenses for access to file and print ser-
  vices in an OpenVMS Cluster environment, clients should connect to
  the cluster using the Advanced Server cluster alias, if this option
  is available.  Clients connecting using the alias consume one server-
  based license.  Clients connecting directly to specific cluster mem-
  bers consume one server-based license for each connection to a dif-
  ferent cluster member.
   A client can map multiple drives and printers from a single server
  while consuming a single server-based license.


                                48

 

Note also that any portion of multiple licenses delivered in a sin-
gle PAK can be used in server-based mode, while the remainder can be
used in client-based mode. Because a PAK can be legally loaded on only
one system, it is only the system where the PAK is loaded that can use
the licenses in server-based mode.[8]

For complete terms and conditions related to Client Access licenses,
refer to the back of your PAK for these licenses, or consult the Soft-
ware Licensing Web site at:

http://www.compaq.com/products/software/info

ORDERING INFORMATION

General Information

Unless otherwise noted, licenses related to each part number will be
delivered in a single PAK. Because each PAK can be loaded on only one
system, it is important to order your licenses in a manner that best
fits your needs.

New or Additional Licenses

For new or additional users of Advanced Server software, use the part
numbers in Table 5, New License Part Numbers, to purchase the number
of Client Access licenses required. When ordering, note that licenses
related to each part number will be delivered in a single PAK and any
one PAK can be loaded on only one system.

Upgrade Licenses

Customers with licenses for previous versions of the file and print
server supporting the LAN Manager protocol are eligible to purchase
Upgrade licenses to Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS. Combined with
your original license, the Advanced Server Upgrade license provides
the right to use Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS and PATHWORKS V6.0D
for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). To be eligible to purchase an Upgrade
license, you must have proof-of-license for any version of one of the
licenses shown in Table 6, Previous Version Licenses Qualifying for
Upgrade Licenses. Table 7, Upgrade License Part Numbers, lists the part
numbers for these Upgrade licenses. Note: Advanced Server V7.2A for
OpenVMS and Advanced Server V7.2 for OpenVMS customers with a "right
to new version contract" will be given a free upgrade license.
