Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station
G.1 Preparing Your OpenVMS System
G.1.7.2 Do You Need to Run TNT$UTILITY.COM Manually?
If you use OpenVMS Management Station to make all of the changes to your
printer configuration, the configuration files are immediately modified to reflect
the changes and you probably do not need to specifically run TNT$UTILITY.COM.
However, if you or someone else uses DCL to make a change — for example, if
you use the DELETE /QUEUE command to delete a queue — the configuration
files will not be synchronized. In this case, the OpenVMS Management Station
client will advise you to run TNT$UTILITY.COM to resynchronize the database.
Run the following procedure on one node in the cluster to make the database
match your system:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:TNT$UTILITY.COM UPDATE PRINTERS
For example, if you or someone else used DCL to delete a queue, you need to
delete that queue from the database. TNT$UTILITY.COM assumes that your
system is set up and running the way that you want it to, so you should fix any
problems before you run TNT$UTILITY.COM.
G.1.7.3 Are There Any Requirements for Running TNT$UTILITY.COM?
You need the SYSNAM privilege to run TNT$UTILITY.COM.
TNT$UTILITY.COM connects to the OpenVMS Management Station server
on the current OpenVMS system to determine device and queue information.
Therefore, the OpenVMS Management Station server must be running on the
node where you run TNT$UTILITY.COM.
The OpenVMS Management Station server then connects to the other OpenVMS
Management Station servers in the OpenVMS Cluster to determine device and
queue information. It is generally a good idea to keep the OpenVMS Management
Station server running on the other nodes in an OpenVMS Cluster to keep the
database up to the minute.
However, if the OpenVMS Management Server is not able to connect to the
OpenVMS Management Station server on a given node, it uses the known
information about that OpenVMS node from the database. That is, in the absence
of a valid connection to that OpenVMS node, the information in the database is
assumed to be correct.
G.1.8 Keeping Your Storage Environment Up to Date
The TNT$UTILITY.COM utility accepts parameters (UPDATE STORAGE)
to update the storage database. However, the storage database is updated
dynamically every time you use the OpenVMS Management Station client to
perform a storage management operation. Therefore, you do not need to run
TNT$UTILITY.COM to update the storage database.
G.1.9 Enabling Disk Quotas
Before installing OpenVMS Management Station, you might have disabled disk
quotas on the SYSTEM disk. If so, you should reenable the quotas and then
rebuild to update quota information by entering the following commands:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DISKQUOTA
DISKQUOTA> ENABLE
DISKQUOTA> REBUILD
DISKQUOTA> EXIT
