HP OpenVMS Enterprise Directory

This document outlines the installation process for HP OpenVMS Enterprise Directory Version 5.4, also covering the installation of HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory V2.2.

Key steps and information include:

1. Pre-installation Checklist:

   • Read the "Read Before Installing" document and release notes.
   • Verify prerequisite software, including specific OpenVMS versions (Alpha V7.3-2 or later, Industry Standard 64 V8.2 or later for Integrity Servers), and optional components like HP TCP/IP Services, HP SSL, DECnet-Plus, and Java (for Integrity Servers).
   • Ensure sufficient disk space and system resources (global pages/sections); the "Base" component is mandatory.
   • Gather required information: installation media device, DXD$SERVER account UIC, DXD$SERVER directory disk, and server node name (for clusters).
   • A system disk backup is recommended.

2. Installation Procedure:

   • Log in with SETPRV and execute the VMSINSTAL command: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DXDA054 device OPTIONS N.
   • Select the desired components from the menu; the "Base" component is automatically installed.
   • The process involves installing the Directory, printing release notes, and running the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP).

3. Upgrading/Reinstalling:

   • Recustomize any previously modified files (e.g., schema files, DXD$DSASTARTUP.NCL, DXD$DSASTARTUP.COM) and recompile the schema if needed.
   • Customized files from previous versions are saved during installation.

4. Post-installation Tasks:

   • Edit SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to submit the directory startup procedure: $ SUBMIT SYS$STARTUP:DXD$COMMON_STARTUP.COM.
   • Start the Directory.
   • Verify the installation by running SYS$TEST:DXD$IVP.COM.

5. HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory (GUI):

   • Install the "HP Administrator for Enterprise Directory—Windows" and "Utility" components.
   • Copy DIRECTORYADMINISTRATOR.EXE to your PC for management. A later version may be available for download.

6. Cluster Installation:

   • Only one node in a cluster can run the server.
   • For clusters with multiple system disks, repeat the installation for each disk, ensuring the same components and server node are specified.
   • Register the DXIM command on all cluster nodes using $ INSTALL SYS$SHARE:DCLTABLES /REPLACE or SYSMAN.

7. AutoAnswer Support:

   • AutoAnswer files are not supported for first-time installations or upgrades from first-time installations.

8. Troubleshooting:

   • Refer to "HP Enterprise Directory — Problem Solving" for details on installation errors and a list of installed files.
