About This Manual vii

Prepare for the Installation 1

This chapter discusses the tasks you must complete before beginning the
installation.
To prepare for your installation:
o

Back up the system if you are currently running an ULTRIX system.

Check the hardware needed for installation.

Ensure the hardware is at default CSR addresses.

Set the console terminal.

Check the software distribution kit.

Decide the type of installation.

1.1

Backing Up the System

If you are not currently running an operating system on your system disk,

go to Section 1.2.
If you are currently running an operating system, back
up your system disk before beginning the installation. The backup procedure
is described in the Guide to System Backup and Restore. If you plan to
perform the advanced installation, you should back up the any nonsystem
disks you plan to use.

When you perform a basic installation, the installation software overwrites
the entire contents of your system disk.
Specifically, if you currently are
running ULTRIX, the installation software initializes the system disk,
overwrites all files and data residing on the system disk, and overwrites

any partition size changes you may have made using the chpt command.
The installation software does not overwrite partition size changes you have
made on nonsystem disks.
After you complete the installation, you may want to restore certain files
to retain entries specific to your site.

For example, your existing .login

file might contain numerous entries that you do not want to retype when
you set up your new .login file after completing the installation.
Table 1-1 lists the site-specific files you might want to restore.

Note the

files that are not compatible with this version of ULTRIX-32 software.

1-2 Prepare for the Installation

If your system runs as a master or a slave Yellow Pages (YP)

server,

save the following directory for your domain:
/usr/var/yp/ <domain_name >
If your system runs as the master YP server and the master copies of the

files used to create the YP maps are located in a separate directory, such
as /usr/var/yp/src, save this directory as well.

If your system runs as a BIND server, save the directory specified in the
/etc/named.boot file.

1.2

The default directory is named /etc/namedb.

Checking the Hardware Needed for Installation

To perform the installation, you need this hardware:

MicroVAX 3300 or MicroVAX 3400

You need to understand how to operate the MicroVAX 3300 or
MicroVAX 3400 system.

The Owmer’s Manual for the processor

provides operating and troubleshooting instructions.
o

Software distribution device
The software distribution device for the MicroVAX 3300 or MicroVAX

3400 system is a TK70 tape drive or the network.

You load the

TK50 tape cartridges supplied with the software distribution kit on

the appropriate drive.

The User’s Guide for the drive provides

instructions on how to load media.

Note

TK50 tape cartridges are distribution media to install
software on either a TK50 tape cartridge drive or a TK70

tape cartridge drive.
If the software distribution device is the network, then you do not

load any media. Make sure your system is connected to the network.
.

System disk
The system disk is the fixed disk on which the installation software
installs the ULTRIX-32 software.
You should know how to get the disk ready for read/write operations.
If you do not, see the User’s Guide for your drive.

Prepare for the Installation 1-3

Nonsystem disks

A nonsystem disk is a device on which you can store data files.
You do not need any nonsystem disks to install ULTRIX-32

software. However, you may want to use nonsystem disks if you plan
to perform the advanced installation. The advanced installation lets

you allocate certain file systems to a disk other than the system
disk. You should also back up the data on any nonsystem disks you
plan to use before performing the installation.

Console terminal

You use the console terminal to communicate with your system
during the installation.

You can perform the installation at either a hardcopy terminal such
as an LA120-KDA, or a screen terminal such as a VT220.
Note

The ULTRIX operating system must be installed on a
system disk connected to the Mass Storage Interconnect

(MSI) that is part of the Central Processing Unit (CPU).

1.3

Ensuring the Hardware Is at Default CSR Addresses

Check with a DIGITAL Field Service representative to ensure that your

hardware has been installed at the default control status register (CSR)
addresses. If you have hardware installed in the floating address space, and
it does not adhere to the standard algorithm for address assignments, then
you should perform an advanced installation. The advanced installation lets
you modify these address assignments in the system configuration file.
After you modify these address assignments, the installation software
should successfully build the kernel

You are expected to understand the format of the configuration file and
how to use an editor such as ed. If you do not, then you should have a
DIGITAL Field Service representative install your hardware at the standard
CSR addresses before you start the installation. See the Guide to System
Configuration File Maintenance for information about the configuration file.

Setting the Console Terminal
1.4
You must set your console terminal for a 7-bit ASCII environment so that
the ULTRIX-32 software can interpret terminal input properly. The
Owner’s Manual for your console terminal provides instructions on how to
set it for a 7-bit ASCII environment.

1-4 Prepare for the Installation

For VT200 and VT300 series terminals, choose the setting labeled as
follows:

Checking the Software Distribution Kit

Use the bill of materials to check your software distribution kit.
The software distribution kit includes one of the following:
o

The TK50 tape cartridge kit, for systems with TK50 or TK70 tape
cartridge drives

The network kit, for systems that require a remote server to supply

the software distribution kit

The following sections briefly describe the contents of each kit.
the section that pertains to your software distribution Kkit.
1.5.1

Read only

The TK50 Magnetic Tape Cartridge Kit

If your kit contains TK50 tape cartridges, you should have:
One TK50 tape cartridge labeled ULTRIX-32 V3.0 TK50
o
STANDALONE ULTRIX TK50 #1. This contains the software you
need to boot the system.

One TK50 tape cartridge labeled ULTRIX-32 V3.0 SUPPORTED
TK50. This contains the installation software and the supported
software subsets.

One TK50 tape cartridge labeled ULTRIX-32 V3.0 UNSUPPORTED

TK50.

This contains unsupported and user-contributed software

subsets.

1.5.2

This installation guide.

The Network Kit

If you did not receive a TK50 tape cartridge software distribution kit, see
your system manager. Your system manager will tell you when the network
kit is set up and ready for use. Use this installation booklet to install the
ULTRIX-32 software subsets.

1.6

Deciding the Type of Installation

The basic installation is recommended for users who do not need to tailor
their systems.

Prepare for the Installation 1-5

The basic installation creates the following on default partitions on the
system disk:

The root file system

The /usr file system

The /usr/users file system

The var area as a directory under the /usr file system

The crash dump space and the swap space

The basic installation loads the following mandatory supported software
subsets:

Base System

Kernel Configuration Files
TCP/IP Networking Utilities
Network File System and Utilities
Extended (Berkeley) Mailer
System Exerciser Package

Finally, the basic installation performs the following:
Builds the ULTRIX operating system kernel.
o
o

Reboots the ULTRIX operating system.

The installation procedure provides an advanced installation option for users

who need to tailor their systems. The advanced installation lets you:

Allocate the fusr and /usr/users file systems, the var area, the crash
dump space, and one or two swap areas to any disk partition on

your system.

Select which supported software subsets you want to install.

Choose configuration file options.

Although many of the procedures in the advanced installation are for
experienced ULTRIX or UNIX users, each prompt displayed during the
advanced installation lets you accept a default. The ULTRIX-32 Advanced
Installation Guide contains the information you need to complete the
advanced installation.
