2 Installing VHS
This section describes how to install and configure the NonStop Virtual Hometerm
Subsystem (VHS) components:
•
VHS Process
•
VHSCI
•
VHS Graphical User Interface (GUI) Agent
•
VHS Browser
It is recommended that you read this section before installing or running VHS for the
first time.
The VHS and VHSCI programs are stand-alone programs that must be installed and
configured before you install the VHS Browser facility and/or the VHS GUI. The VHS
GUI Agent facility is the set of host files needed to use the VHS Graphical User
Interface on a Microsoft Windows NT platform. See Section 8, The VHS GUI, for a
description of this interface.
The VHS Browser facility is a Pathway application that can be integrated with the
ViewPoint operation console facility and accessed through the ViewPoint EXTRAS
screen. The VHS Browser facility can also be installed as a stand-alone Pathway
system and be accessed through the TACL product or by other management
applications such as NonStop NET/MASTER. A stand-alone Pathway system is a
Pathway system dedicated to the VHS Browser facility.
If you are running ViewPoint but do not have an EXTRAS screen configured, VHS
provides a ViewPoint EXTRAS screen configuration with options to access the VHS
Browser and another Tandem product, the Object Monitoring Facility (OMF). If you do
not have OMF, the OMF functions are not functional.
For VHS Browser to perform correctly, you must follow the proper procedures for
installing and configuring the ViewPoint and NonStop NET/MASTER products. The
installation procedures described in this section include references to the ViewPoint
configuration used with the VHS Browser. For more information on ViewPoint or
NonStop NET/MASTER, see the appropriate product manuals.
