Preparing the Server Machine
5. For each virtual host, enter this command at a TACL prompt:
SCF INFO SUBNET $ZTCnn.*
where nn corresponds to an appropriate entry in $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP.HOSTS.
Verify that the LOOP-BACK subnet has an IP address of 127.0.0.1.
6. Decide the value for the DCE privuser, which is the NonStop operating system
user ID that will be used to control NonStop DCE operation on this machine. The
DCE privuser operations are described in Section 6, Recommended Usage.
7. Decide whether each existing virtual host is to remain as a TNS machine and
whether the TNS application development environment (ADE) needs to be
preserved by copying the file /usr/lib/libdce_scs.a to a backup location.
The installation dialog offers the choice of replacing an existing TNS client with a
TNS/R client and will overwrite the ADE file. (This dialog can occur only on a
TNS/R system, as there can be no prior TNS client to replace on a TNS/E system.)
Preparing the Server Machine
Before installing NonStop DCE, configure a DCE CDS server machine:
1. Verify that the system has NonStop SQL/MP and TMF installed.
2. Verify that TMF is configured and running. For information about TMF
configuration, see the TMF Configuration and Planning Guide. To find out if TMF is
running, enter this command at a TACL prompt:
TMFCOM STATUS TMF;
If TMF is not running, start it by entering these commands at a TACL prompt:
TMFCOM
~START TMF
~EXIT
3. If the system NonStop SQL/MP catalog has not been created, enter these
commands at a TACL prompt:
SQLCI
>> CREATE SYSTEM CATALOG $vol.subvol;
>> EXIT
4. If NonStop SQL/MP is not initialized, enter these commands at a TACL prompt:
SQLCI
>> INITIALIZE SQL;
>> EXIT;
5. If the server machine will run the CDS, and if the DCE privuser is not the super ID
(255,255 with a scalar view of 65535 as the OSS user ID), ensure that the server
Note. To run DCE servers, you must also meet DCE client requirements, described under
Preparing the Client Machine on page 2-2.
