This chapter describes the hardware and software you must have and the tasks you need to complete before you install PATHWORKS Advanced Server software.

This chapter consists of the following sections:

• Section 1.1, About the Advanced Server for OpenVMS Software Kit
• Section 1.2, If You Are Upgrading from PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager)
• Section 1.3, Installing DECprint Software
• Section 1.4, About Licensing
• Section 1.5, About External Authentication
• Section 1.6, Reading the Release Notes
• Section 1.7, Using the Installation Checklist
• Section 1.8, Requirements for Installing PATHWORKS Advanced Server Software
• Section 1.9, Pre-installation Tasks
• Section 1.10, Next Step

The PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) kit contains the software required to run the following server software:

• PATHWORKS Advanced Server file server
• PATHWORKS standalone license server

In addition, the kit includes an Upgrade utility that helps you to migrate from PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) to PATHWORKS V6 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server). The Upgrade utility may be installed separately.

The installation procedure also allows you to install only External Authentication software.

1.1.1 About the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) Server

The PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server is no longer supported. PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) cannot be installed on a system where the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server is installed. If the installation procedure finds the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server, it optionally invokes the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) removal procedure (PWVN$DEINSTAL), to remove the NetWare server software before installing the PATHWORKS Advanced Server software. For more information about the NetWare server removal procedure, refer to Section 7.2, Removing the PATHWORKS NetWare Server.

If your clients continue to depend on NetWare software to connect to the system, or if you need the IPX/SPX transport for any reason, you should designate a system to run the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server.

1.2 If You Are Upgrading from PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager)

If you have PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) installed, you must install the new PATHWORKS Advanced Server. You can choose to install just the Upgrade utility initially, and install the PATHWORKS Advanced Server later. See the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) Server Migration Guide for more information.

1.3 Installing DECprint Software

DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS is a printing system that provides queue management and printing features for PostScript printers.

If you plan to use DECprint Supervisor for OpenVMS on your system, Compaq Computer Corporation recommends that you install it before installing PATHWORKS Advanced Server. You must reboot the system after installing the DECprint software. You can perform the reboot as part of the DECprint Supervisor installation procedure, or after you install PATHWORKS Advanced Server. However, DECprint Supervisor software must be installed before you configure and start PATHWORKS Advanced Server.

1.4 About Licensing

The following sections describe the way the PATHWORKS Advanced Server software is licensed, and how to ensure clients accessing the server are properly licensed.

1.4.1 License Requirements

The PATHWORKS Advanced Server requires that clients accessing file and print services be appropriately licensed. To conform to this requirement, one of the following must be true:

• The client must have acquired a client-based license before connecting to a PATHWORKS Advanced Server.
• The PATHWORKS Advanced Server must have a server-based license available to assign to an unlicensed client attempting to use services of the PATHWORKS Advanced Server.

In either case, the license required to access PATHWORKS Advanced Server services is the PATHWORKS Client-Access license: PWLMXXXCA06.00.

If you are upgrading from PATHWORKS LAN Manager, refer to the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) Server Migration Guide for information about upgrading client license requests.

1.4.2 About the License Server

The PATHWORKS license server is a software program that you can run on your OpenVMS system to grant licenses to clients.

The license server can be installed:

• With the file server (automatically included with your file server installation)
• Separately from the file server (called the "standalone license server")

In either case, you can configure the license server to support clients using any of the following network protocols:

• DECnet
• LAN Manager (NetBEUI)
• TCP/IP

Compaq Computer Corporation recommends that you install the license server on a designated OpenVMS system without the PATHWORKS file server. Therefore, the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) software kit allows you to install the standalone license server separately from the file server. Alternatively, you can run the license server on an OpenVMS cluster with PATHWORKS file servers, where cluster failover provides reliability.

Each LAN needs only one active PATHWORKS license server. (The same license server can support both PATHWORKS LAN Manager and PATHWORKS Advanced Server clients.) The license product authorization keys (PAKs) must be loaded on the system that runs the PATHWORKS license server.

In an OpenVMS cluster, the PAKs must be loaded into a shared license database.

For more information about . . .	Refer to . . .
Loading licenses	OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual
Managing PATHWORKS Advanced Server licenses	Advanced Server for OpenVMS Guide to Managing Advanced Server Licenses

1.5 About External Authentication

External authentication is an optional feature of OpenVMS systems that allows system managers to set up user accounts for which login authentication is based on a security mechanism other than OpenVMS security.

The PATHWORKS Advanced Server takes advantage of this feature by providing the ability to use the PATHWORKS Advanced Server or Windows NT-compatible user authentication mechanisms to authenticate OpenVMS user logins. This allows users to log in at the OpenVMS login prompt using the PATHWORKS Advanced Server user name and password. In addition, it provides automatic password synchronization for user accounts.

When you install PATHWORKS Advanced Server, the files required to support external authentication are automatically included in the installation process.

If you want to enable external authentication on a different node in an OpenVMS cluster), you may choose to install the External Authentication software only.

For more information about enabling external authentication, refer to Section 5.5, Setting Up External Authentication.

1.6 Reading the Release Notes

The PATHWORKS Advanced Server installation kit includes the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) Release Notes.

Compaq Computer Corporation recommends that you print and read the appropriate release notes before starting the installation.

Use the following table to decide how to print the release notes:

If you want to . . .	Then . . .
Print the release notes before the installation	Do the following: Load the installation kit on a drive. Enter the following commands, replacing device with the name of the device (and if the device is a disk, also designate the directory) where you loaded the installation kit:
$ MOUNT device: PWRK $ BACKUP/SELECT=PWRKV60B060.RELEASE_NOTES device:PWRKV60B060.A/SAVE_SET * $ PRINT PWRKV60B060.RELEASE_NOTES
Print the release notes during the installation	Do the following: Load the installation kit on a drive. Enter the following command to start the installation procedure: $ @VMSINSTAL PWRKV60B060 device_name: OPTIONS N The installation procedure prompts you to either print or display the release notes. In any case, the release notes are always copied to the SYS$HELP: area.

1.7 Using the Installation Checklist

Appendix A, Installation and Upgrade Checklist, provides an installation and configuration summary checklist. You can photocopy the summary checklist and use it to track the completion of the installation and configuration tasks described in this guide.

1.8 Requirements for Installing PATHWORKS Advanced Server Software

The following sections describe the hardware and software that may be required to install PATHWORKS Advanced Server on the system.

1.8.1 Hardware Requirements

Make sure that the network (including cables, PCs, servers, and other hardware) is connected. For a list of the hardware that the server supports, refer to the Software Product Description (SPD).

1.8.2 Software Requirements

To install PATHWORKS Advanced Server successfully, you must have the following software properly installed and configured on your system:

• OpenVMS V7.1 or V7.2
• DECnet or DECnet-Plus (optional)
  DECnet can be installed automatically with the OpenVMS operating system.
• TCP/IP (optional)
  TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS and a selection of third-party TCP/IP products on OpenVMS can be used to provide TCP/IP support.
