        Installation Prerequisites

              Before you install the HP MAILbus 400 MTA:

              1. Ensure the following software is installed on your
                 system:

                 -  OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2, 8.2, or 8.3

                 -  HP DECnet-Plus/OSI for OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2,
                    8.2, or 8.3 including the OSI Applications Kernel
                    (OSAK) component.

                 -  HP Enterprise Directory Service for OpenVMS V5.3 or
                    later

              2. Ensure you have access to the SYSTEM account.

              3. Back up your system disk using the OpenVMS Backup
                 Utility.

              4. Register a valid MTA license, MAILBUS-400-MTA or
                 MAILBUS-400-USER, where you install the MAILbus 400 MTA
                 Server component. Use the OpenVMS License Management
                 Facility (LMF) to do this.

              5. Make sure that the MAILbus 400 MTA, and any appli-
                 cations that use the MAILbus 400 MTA, are shut down
                 before installing the new version of the MAILbus 400
                 MTA.

              See the OpenVMS system management documentation for
              information about the OpenVMS Backup Utility and the
              OpenVMS License Management Facility.

        Information Required

              To install the MAILbus 400 MTA, you need to know the name
              of the device from which the installation kit will be
              loaded.

        Time Required

              The time it takes to install the MAILbus 400 MTA
              depends on the resources available on your system. The
              installation takes approximately 3 minutes on a DEC 2000
              Model 300.

                                                                       1

 






     Disk Space Required

           The following table shows the approximate amount of disk
           space required on the system disk (in blocks) during and
           after installation for the different components.

           Additional disk space is required after installation for a
           MAILbus 400 MTA to be able to handle message traffic.

     Installing the MAILbus 400 MTA

           From the SYSTEM account on the node, or cluster, where you
           want to install a MAILbus 400 MTA component, complete the
           following steps:

           o  Mount the CD-ROM as follows:

              MOUNT device-name: volume-label

              where device-name and volume-label are as specified in
              the OpenVMS Alpha Layered Products Compact Disk User's
              Guide. The MTA files are located on the CD-ROM in the
              directory named MTA032.

           o  Install the MTA using the following command:

              @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL MTA032 device-name:[MTA032]
              OPTIONS N

           The installation procedure starts and prompts you to
           select the components you want to install. To specify
           more than one of the components offered, enter the number
           associated with each component, with a comma between
           numbers.

              On each single node, or on one node in a cluster, where
              you want to have an MTA, select the options to install the
              following components: MAILbus 400 MTA Mgt, MAILbus 400 MTA
              Server, and MAILbus 400 MTA Base.

              Installing Component for Remote Management

              Select the option to install the MAILbus 400 MTA Mgt
              component on each single node, or on one node in each
              other cluster, where you want to remotely manage MTAs and
              the MTAs' routing information in the directory.

           Installing Component for Remote Access by XAPI Agents

           Where an XAPI Agent (that is, an Agent using the MAILbus
           400 Application Program Interface) is to be installed on a
           system remote from the MTA, select the option to install
           the MAILbus 400 MTA Base component on the single node,
           or on one node in the cluster, where the Agent is to be
           installed.

     After the Installation

           The set-up tasks required after installation, and the MTA
           verification procedure are described in Part III of HP
           MAILbus 400 MTA Planning and Setup.

           Before you set up each MAILbus 400 MTA that you have
           installed, make sure that the Base component of the HP
           Enterprise Directory Service is installed on each node or
           cluster where you intend to operate a MAILbus 400 MTA.

           Refer to the HP Enterprise Directory Service documentation
           for details of how to install the Base component of the HP
           Enterprise Directory Service.

     Release Notes and Further Information

           After installation, the release notes are kept in
           SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP]MAILBUS400_MTA.RELEASE_NOTES.

           HP MAILbus 400 MTA Tuning and Problem Solving contains a
           list of the files that should be present on your system
           after installation, and information about how to contact
           HP if the installation fails.
