To restart your system on the backdated version, perform all
the sub-sections in this section. Configure Data Communication |  |
Refer to "Configuring Datacomm and UPS"
and "Cross Validating" in Chapter 6 “Finishing the Process” for additional
information about these steps.  |  |  |  |  | CAUTION: No matter what your particular networking configuration
is, whether you even have networked devices, you still must perform
the activities described in this section. |  |  |  |  |
You must convert the data communications configuration files
after modifying a system (regardless of whether you use data communications
products). The information contained in the data communication files
is required by the Data communication Terminal Controller (DTC)
and allows communication between the terminal and the Uninterruptible
Power Supply (UPS). Refer to Using the Node Management
Services Utilities. Convert Data CommunicationsTo configure for data communications on a new or modified
system, obtain an NMCONFIG file
in either way: Convert an existing nmconfig
file to the MPE 5.0 or 5.5 version level you are backdating to. Create an NMCONFIG
file using NMMGR. Do this if you
are using either Method 2, "Using a factory SLT"
or Method 3, "Using an FPT."
To convert data communications files: Confirm that
you have a copy of the NMCONFIG
file on your system. If listed, and you do not need to
create a new NMCONFIG file, proceed
to Step 2. If the return message is non-existent file, obtain
a copy of an NMCONFIG file using
one of the following sources: Create a new NMCONFIG
file using nmmgr. Refer to Using the Node Management Services (NMS)
Utilities for directions on creating an NMCONFIG
file. Then proceed to "Cross Validate" in the
next subsection. Use a backup copy of the NMCONFIG
file. Use the same method, to recover the NMCONFIG
file from the backup, that was used to create the backup. Then proceed to Step2.
Run the NMMGRVER
conversion utility. Enter NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
at the prompt: FILESET TO BE SCANNED? NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS OK TO CONVERT NMCONFIG? Y
|
If the return message is no need to convert,
proceed to "Restart System Functions." If the return message is conversion completed successfully,
then AUTOINST has converted your
configuration file and it needs to be cross validated with sysgen
information. Proceed to "Cross Validate."
Perform the steps in this section if you did either of the
following: Completed the previous section, "Convert
Data Communications," and your files were converted. Created a new NMCONFIG
file using nmmgr.
If the SYSGEN command, RDCC,
was used previously, the network configuration file that was specified
in that command is written to the CSLT that AUTOINST
created. If this CSLT is used as a backup tape for a reinstallation,
then the datacomm configuration file that will be restored will
require conversion using the NMMGRVER.PUB.SYS
utility after the installation. To validate data communication files: Run NMMGR.PUB.SYS Open the configuration file using the [F1]
key. Modify the configuration file, if required. If you need to add, delete, or change any item in the configuration
file, do so now. For example, now is the time to add a DTC or change
a UPS configuration. If you copied and updated your NMCONFIG
file from another system, you must update the network addresses
and other devices for this system. If you have
a PC-based network management configuration, follow the installation
and configuration procedures described in the Using the
OpenView DTC Manager Manual. For information on NMMGR,
refer to Using the Node Management Services (NM S) Utilities. For information on configuring UPS devices, refer
to Performing System Management Tasks. If you need to configure new DTCs on your system
or if you need more information on host-based network management,
refer to Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers,
and Other Serial Devices.
Display the Validate screen and validate the DTSLINK, NS
links, and any other configurations you have changed. The specific method you use to view the Validate screen varies
depending upon the procedures you used to modify the configuration
file. Refer to the Using the Node Management Services
(NM S) Utilities manual for more complete instructions. NMMGR automatically invokes
SYSGEN to cross validate the system
and datacomm configurations. If inconsistencies occur during the validation process (such
as two separate devices configured to the same LDEV), do either
of the following depending upon the type of error: Resolve them using NMMGR
(if related to networking). Exit NMMGR, NMMGR
to revalidate DTSLINK.
Exit NMMGR.
Preparing for Final Reboot |  |
Before performing the final reboot, stream jconfjob and verify
all activities for manually install products are complete. To restart selected system functions: If you purchased
HP Resource Sharing and Information Access, install it now. Refer
to Appendix A “Manually Installed Products” Stream JCONFJOB. The JCONFJOB.NET.SYS stream
is required for all systems. It includes information files that
describe the supported set of servers and services. These information
files are used to build a configuration file called DADCONF.NET.SYS.
Wait until the above jobstream is complete before continuing with
the next step.
Set Passwords and Lockwords |  |
Refer to "Setting Passwords and Lockwords"
in Chapter 6 “Finishing the Process” Set passwords
for HP recommended accounts. :ALTACCT acctname;PASS=password
|
AUTOINST does not require
the removal of passwords. However, if these accounts and users do
not have passwords, Hewlett-Packard recommends that you set them
now. Table D-2 Password Recommended
