Installing the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
3.9 Registering Licenses
• Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS
(LMF Product Name: VOLSHAD)
You must register and load a license for Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS
on each node using volume shadowing, including satellites in an OpenVMS
Cluster system.
3.9.5 How to Register DECnet Products
You must also register the license for any of the DECnet products you have
purchased. There are two DECnet licenses that apply to both Compaq DECnet-
Plus for OpenVMS VAX and DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS VAX:
• The end node license named DVNETEND
• The routing node license named DVNETRTG
All routing nodes must have a routing license. Each end node can have either
an end node license or a routing license. If neither license is registered and
activated, DECnet does not start and your use is limited to local DECnet only
(SET HOST 0). If DECnet for OpenVMS is running when you register your
license, you must stop and then restart it.
You can control which cluster nodes have access to each license. Using the
LICENSE MODIFY/INCLUDE=(node-name[,node-name,...]) command, you
can assign licenses to nodes and limit access as needed. For example, you
can assign a routing node license to just one cluster node and assign the end
node licenses to the remaining cluster nodes. If you choose this approach,
make sure you assign a license to each end node license. Specify include lists
for each license of the same type. For details, refer to the OpenVMS License
Management Utility Manual.
3.10 Updating Time Zone Information
At this point in the installation, the procedure asks you for information that
is used for providing local time zone support. For local time zone support to
work correctly, the installation procedure must set the time zone that accurately
describes the location you want to be considered as your default time zone.
Usually, this is the time zone in which your system is running. In addition, your
system must be correctly configured to use a valid OpenVMS time differential
factor (TDF).
The procedure displays a series of time zone menus and prompts you to make
selections from each. Begin by selecting the desired time zone from the main
time zone menu. If you do not select a time zone, the default is Greenwich Mean
Time (GMT).
If you choose a time zone that has subcomponents, the system displays an
additional menu. For example, if you choose the United States (US) time zone
from the main menu, a second menu displays the specific time zones within the
United States. You then select the menu item that best represents the desired
time zone.
The procedure then prompts you for the TDF. The TDF is the difference
between your system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is an
international standard (similar to Greenwich Mean Time) for measuring time
of day. The procedure supplies a default for TDF, which is generally the correct
response.
