installation guide

This document is the TCPware® for OpenVMS Installation & Configuration Guide, Version 6.0, published in January 2014. It is intended for system managers, administrators, and operators and provides the necessary procedures for installing, configuring, and starting up the TCPware product on various OpenVMS operating systems, including VAX/VMS V5.5-2+, OpenVMS VAX V6.0+, OpenVMS Alpha V6.1+, and OpenVMS I64 V8.2+.

The guide outlines a structured approach:

1. Preparation for Installation: Covers hardware and software requirements, disk space and global page considerations, necessary system privileges, and obtaining IP addresses. It emphasizes reviewing Release Notes and shutting down any existing TCP/IP products.
2. Software Installation: Details the process of loading the TCPware software and running the HP VMSINSTAL procedure, with specific instructions for multiple system disks and mixed-platform clusters.
3. Core TCP/IP Environment Configuration: Explains how to use the CNFNET utility (available in menu-driven or command-driven modes) to define file location logicals, specify network device identification codes and addresses, set up a default gateway, configure time zone information (including Daylight Savings Time support), and manage the local hostname and HOSTS. file.
4. Configuration of TCP/IP Services: Provides instructions for configuring a wide array of individual TCP/IP services, such as NFS (Client and Server), DHCP (Client and Server), DECnet over IP Tunnels, DNS, FTP, Gateway Routing Daemon (GateD), IMAP, IPP, IPS, Kerberos (Server and Applications), Line Printer Services (LPS), Miscellaneous Services (e.g., TFTPD, CHARGEND), NTP, POP3, PWIPDRIVER, Berkeley R Commands (RLOGIN, RSH, RMT), SMTP, SNMP, SSH, TALK, TELNET, TIMED, and X Display Manager (XDM).
5. Startup and Testing: Describes how to prepare for TCPware startup, verify the installation, configure TCPware commands, manage system startup and shutdown processes, customize startup scripts, integrate with other products (like INGRES/Net, Oracle's SQL*Net, HP TEAMLINKS, and AIDA), remove TCPware components, and register Product Authorization Keys (PAK).
