2.1 Prerequisites for Installation

The following sections contain requirements for hardware, software, OpenVMS classes, installation account and backup.

2.1.1 Back Up Your System Disk

Perform a backup of your system disk before installing any software. Use the backup procedures that have been established at your site. See the OpenVMS System Managers Manual: Essentials and the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manuals in the OpenVMS operating system documentation for more information.

2.1.2 Hardware Requirements

The Enterprise Integration Packages support all valid OpenVMS Alpha CPU configurations.

The Enterprise Integration Server for OpenVMS License Package products require 64 MB of memory, 525MB (1.05 M blocks) of disk space during installation, and 512MB (1 M blocks) of disk space after installation.

Netscape Navigator requires a video display equipped with at least 256 colors. Video displays with fewer than 8-bit graphics boards, such as 4-plane graphic cards that display 16 colors, are not supported.

2.1.3 Software Requirements

Enterprise Integration Packages components are fully supported only on OpenVMS Alpha 7.1 and higher (7.2 only for Advanced Server and DECnet-Plus). Compaq strongly recommends that you upgrade to this version. However, for customers not able to upgrade, limited testing in a mixed OpenVMS Alpha 7.1 and OpenVMS Alpha 6.2 environment has been done. See the individual component SPDs or installation guides for components that support other versions of OpenVMS.

2.1.3.1 DECwindows Motif Language Variants

If you plan to install and operate the DECwindows Motif Language variants with OpenVMS Alpha 6.2, you will need an update to the LMF group tables. This update is included in the patch kit ALPLMF01_062. The patch kit may be obtained at:

Search for the filename ALPLMF01_062, or contact your DIGITAL representative.

2.1.5 Checking and Setting Process Account Quotas

The file SYSUAF.DAT contains user account quotas. Use the OpenVMS Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE) to verify and change user account quotas. First set your directory to SYS$SYSTEM and then run AUTHORIZE:


$ SET DEFAULT SYS$SYSTEM
$ RUN AUTHORIZE
UAF>

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


UAF> SHOW SYSTEM

To change a quota, enter the MODIFY command. The following example changes the FILLM quota for the SYSTEM account and then exits from the utility:


UAF> MODIFY SYSTEM /FILLM=50
UAF> EXIT

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

For more information on modifying account quotas, refer to the description of the Authorize Utility in the OpenVMS System Management Documentation Subkit.

2.1.6 OpenVMS Class Requirements

The Enterprise Integration Packages-related components require that you have installed all the OpenVMS default classes.
