This chapter describes how to install the server component
of Version 1.1 of DIGITAL OpenVMS Disk Services for Windows
NT. It contains the following sections:
Follow these steps before you install the server component
of Version 1.1 of DIGITAL OpenVMS Disk Services for Windows
NT:
- Check that your OpenVMS system meets the following
prerequisites:
- It is running either OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.1 or OpenVMS Alpha Version
6.2.
- It has at least 20,000 free blocks on its system disk.
- It is running one of the supported TCP/IP products,
which were as follows when this book was written:
- DIGITAL TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS Version 4.2 or later
- DIGITAL TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS Version 4.1 with ECO kit number 6 or later
installed
To find out if any third party TCP/IP products have been added to
the list of supported products since this book was written, visit
our web site at:
http://www.openvms.digital.com/openvms/products/ntds/
- Back up your system disk.
DIGITAL recommends that you back up your system disk before
starting the installation; a failure during installation could
leave your system disk in an inconsistent state.
Use the backup procedures that are established at your site.
To install the server component of Version 1.1 of DIGITAL
OpenVMS Disk Services for Windows NT, follow these steps, which
should take you five minutes or less:
- Log in to an account that has full privileges enabled,
for example, the SYSTEM account.
- Enter the PRODUCT INSTALL command. Use the /SOURCE qual-
ifier to specify the directory that contains the kit. The kit is
called DEC-AXPVMS-NTDS-V01011.PCSI.
For example, if the kit is in DAD10:[NTDS011.KIT], enter this command:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL NTDS /SOURCE=DAD10:[NTDS011.KIT]
See the DCL help for the PRODUCT command to find out about the
features it provides, such as how to control where the product
is installed (by default, SYS$COMMON), and how to extract the
Release Notes before you start the installation.
When you enter the PRODUCT INSTALL command, you will see a
message like this:
The following product has been selected:
DEC AXPVMS NTDS V1.1 Layered Product [Available]
Do you want to continue? [YES]
- Press Return to answer Yes (the default). The
installation starts:

You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected
product and for any products that may be installed to satisfy
software dependency requirements.

This section describes the tasks you must perform after you
have installed the server component of Version 1.1 of DIGITAL
OpenVMS Disk Services for Windows NT:
DIGITAL OpenVMS Disk Services for
Windows NT is a layered product that is separate from the
OpenVMS operating system. To use it, you must register its Product
Authorization Key (PAK) in your license database. To do this, follow
these steps:
- Purchase the NTDS-DISK PAK from
your DIGITAL sales representative.
- Register the PAK, using the OpenVMS License Management
Facility (LMF):
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE
- Use the LICENSE MODIFY command with the /RESERVE
qualifier to register the Windows NT computers that will be
allowed to connect to disk services on your OpenVMS Cluster. List the names of the computers, for
example:
$ LICENSE MODIFY NTDS-DISK /RESERVE=(NTSYSTEM1,NTSYSTEM2)
The computer names are not case sensitive. You can type them in
either upper or lower case.
The number of computers you specify in this list must not exceed
the number of activity units available in your PAK.
- Use the LICENSE LOAD command to load the PAK:
$ LICENSE LOAD NTDS-DISK
Use this command on each of the OpenVMS Alpha nodes that you want
to be able to provide disk services to Windows NT clients.
Enable the NTDS help message database so that you can use the HELP
/MESSAGE command to get help on the error messages returned by NTDS
commands.
To do this, define the logical name MSGHLP$LIBRARY to point to the
NTDS help message database, SYS$HELP:NTDS.MSGHLP$DATA.
Is the logical MSGHLP$LIBRARY currently defined?
| No | Edit SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM
to add the following command, which defines the logical name to
point to both the main OpenVMS help message database and the NTDS
help message database:
$ DEFINE MSGHLP$LIBRARY /SYSTEM /EXECUTIVE_MODE -
SYS$HELP:MSGHLP$LIBRARY.MSGHLP$DATA, -
SYS$HELP:NTDS.MSGHLP$DATA
| | Yes | Change the
current definition to include SYS$HELP:NTDS.MSGHLP$DATA in the
search list.
Edit whichever startup file or database currently defines the
logical name during system startup. |
Configure DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for
OpenVMS on all the OpenVMS Alpha nodes that you want to be able
to provide disk services to Windows NT clients:
- Make sure that DIGITAL TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS has at least one interface configured
with an IP address. For information on how to do this, see the
documentation for DIGITAL TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS.
- Make sure that DIGITAL TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS is configured to run the PWIP driver.
Use the UCX$CONFIG command procedure to check that the PWIP
driver is enabled:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:UCX$CONFIG
Select Optional components on the main menu, then
Configure PWIP Driver on the Optional Components
Configuration menu.
- To optimize the performance of DIGITAL OpenVMS Disk Services for Windows NT, we
recommend that you use the following command to set the TCP
protocol parameters in the UCX configuration database:
$ UCX SET CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL TCP /NODELAY_ACK
Reboot to activate DIGITAL OpenVMS
Disk Services for Windows NT.
If your OpenVMS Cluster has a single
system disk, reboot all the OpenVMS Alpha nodes that you want to be
able to provide disk services to Windows NT clients.
If your OpenVMS Cluster has multiple
system disks:
- Install DIGITAL OpenVMS
Disk Services for Windows NT on your other system disks.
- Reboot all the OpenVMS Alpha nodes that you want to be
able to provide disk services to Windows NT clients.
