Planning Your Installation
Before installing Tandem FTAM, you need to plan the configuration of your installation.
Planning allows you to see relationships between individual configuration and
management tasks and how the system will function as a whole.
FTAM Configuration Attributes
Especially important in the planning stage is understanding the use of configuration
attributes. The SUBSYS, PROCESS, and PROFILE object attributes (see Section 2,
FTAM Management Environment) allow you to tailor an installation. Configuration
Information in the OSI Manager MIB on page 3-6 describes how to configure addresses,
assign names to processes, allocate resources, and perform other functions by using SCF
commands to configure object attributes in the APLMGR MIB.
The decisions you make concerning these functions directly affect how your Tandem
FTAM system operates. Some of these decisions must be communicated to others who
are using the FTAM environment you are configuring. For example, programmers
writing applications for Tandem FTAM need to know relevant common name or OSI
address information for their application (see Configuration Information in the OSI
Manager MIB on page 3-6) to successfully communicate with a remote FTAM system.
Understanding what you want to accomplish with Tandem FTAM object attributes
before you begin configuring a Tandem FTAM installation is a key to a successful
configuration.
