Installation, Configuration, and Startup
Instructions
Before you begin configuring FTAM, you must install and configure the supporting
communications lines, management components, and processes that work together to
provide OSI and management services.
Installing the Basic Components
Installing the basic components for FTAM involves four main tasks. It is suggested that
you perform these tasks in the order shown in the following subsections:
1. Installing Prerequisite Subsystems
on this page
2. Recompiling Responder Object Files Using NonStop SQL on page 3-42
3. Configuring the OSI/AS Subsystem for FTAM on page 3-43
4. Configuring FTAM to Make Use of FILCONF and D42 Changes on page 3-44
5. Creating the MIB Database for APLMGR
on page 3-45
6. Creating and Starting the APLMGR Process on page 3-46
Installing Prerequisite Subsystems
The first step in configuring your installation is to install the subsystems necessary for
the operation of Tandem FTAM. These subsystems provide the basic components that
enable communication between Tandem FTAM and remote FTAM systems. Installing
the prerequisite subsystems (OSI/AS, OSI/TS, and TLAM, X25AM, PAM, or NonStop
TCP/IP) involves the following:
1. Installing the subsystems supporting the OSI lower layers
2. Creating the MIB database for the OSI manager process
3. Starting the OSI manager process
4. Adding NSP, TSP, and TAPS processes to the OSI manager MIB
5. Starting TSP and TAPS processes
The configuration example described in Appendix A, Example FTAM Configuration
Command Files, includes an example SCF command file illustrating some of these
tasks. For details, see the OSI/AS Configuration and Management Manual.
Note. .When running the Tandem Install program to place the required software on your
system, be sure to install the OSI/AS subsystem before installing Tandem FTAM; otherwise,
FTAM will not operate properly.
