Section 2: Installing ASAP
When you receive your ASAP package you will receive 2 CDs. The first CD contains the
ASAP Server component to be installed on your NonStop server(s) and the second contains
the ASAP Client component to be installed on your Microsoft Windows™ workstations.
ASAP is licensed separately for each NonStop server, but you can run ASAP Client on as
many workstations as you need to without licensing ASAP for each workstation. To obtain a
license for ASAP for your NonStop servers please send an email message to
[e-mail] and include SYSINFO output from every server where you have
purchased an ASAP license. License files for each server and instructions for installation
will be sent back to you via email. Please obtain a license file for each of your NonStop
servers before installing ASAP.
Installing and Starting ASAP Server
To install ASAP Server do the following:
1. Load the ASAP Server CD into a CD drive on a workstation that can connect to your
NonStop server.
2. The IP Setup application should automatically start. If it does not start, locate and
double-click on the IPSetup.exe file on the CD.
3. Follow the instructions to install ASAP Sever using DSM/SCM. It will create a product
subvolume that you can Accept into DSM/SCM. From that point use DSM/SCM to
install and place the ASAP files.
4. Once DSM/SCM has installed the ASAP files, run the ASAPWIZ file to execute the
ASAP Installation Wizard. It will ask you questions to automatically create the
ASAPCONF configuration file. In most cases ASAPCONF should be placed on
$SYSTEM.SYSTEM. Please refer to the ASAP Server manual for an example
session using the ASAPWIZ installation wizard and for more information on the
various configuration options that you can select.
5. Start ASAP Server. To do this run the ASAP command interpreter on the collector
node. First start the collector, then the local node, then all remote nodes. Here is an
example of starting ASAP on 3 nodes, \A, \B and \C where \A is the collector node
and \B and \C are the remote nodes:
From a TACL prompt on \A, enter:
ASAP
+ START COLLECT -- to start the ASAP Collector
+ START -- to start the ASAP components on the collector node
+ START \B -- to start the ASAP components on remote node \B
+ START \C -- to start the ASAP components on remote node \C
Note if you only have 3 nodes, \A, \B and \C, connected via Expand, then you can use
this sequence to start ASAP server:
