Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station
G.1 Preparing Your OpenVMS System
4. To ensure that the system disks are mounted correctly with each reboot,
follow these steps:
1. Copy the SYS$EXAMPLES:CLU_MOUNT_DISK.COM file to the
[VMS$COMMON.SYSMGR] directory, and edit it for your configuration.
2. Edit SYLOGICALS.COM and include commands to mount, with the
appropriate volume label, the system disk containing the shared files.
Example
If the system disk is $1$DJA16, include the following command:
$ @SYS$SYSDEVICE:[VMS$COMMON.SYSMGR]CLU_MOUNT_DISK.COM -
_$ $1$DJA16: volume-label
G.1.2 Start the Server on Other Nodes
If you plan to run OpenVMS Management Station on more than one node in
an OpenVMS Cluster without a reboot, you need to start the software on those
nodes.
Use SYSMAN to start the server as follows:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TNT$STARTUP.COM
Or, you can log into each node that shares the SYS$COMMON: directory and
enter the following command:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TNT$STARTUP.COM
If you are performing an upgrade or a reinstallation and OpenVMS Management
Station is already running on the node, add the RESTART parameter to the
startup command, as follows:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TNT$STARTUP.COM RESTART
G.1.3 Error Log Information
OpenVMS Management Station writes error log information to the
file TNT$SERVER_ERROR.LOG. This error log is created in the
SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE] directory. If you start the OpenVMS Management
Station server on multiple nodes in a cluster, which is recommended, there will
be multiple server error logs.
G.1.4 Update the Printer and Storage Database
When you installed OpenVMS Management Station, the installation started
the OpenVMS Management Station server on the installation node. If this
installation was an upgrade, the server converts the existing OpenVMS
Management Station database to the V3.0 format. If this was a new installation,
the server creates an initial version of the database file TNT$ACS.DAT and
invokes the update functions automatically.
To complete the database, start the OpenVMS Management Station server on
each node in your cluster. The instances of the server communicate with each
other to determine device, queue, and volume information, and the server must
be running on each node for this communication to take place.
