Preparing to Install and Conﬁgure TCP/IP Services

1.2 Preinstallation Tasks

1.2.4 Registering the License Product Authorization Key

Before you install TCP/IP Services on a newly licensed node or cluster, you must

Management Facility (LMF). Without a PAK, you can use only DECwindows

TCP/IP Transport software.

If you are upgrading TCP/IP Services on a node or cluster that is licensed for this

software, you have already completed the License PAK registration requirements.

If you ordered the license and the media together, the PAK is included with

your distribution kit. Otherwise, the PAK is shipped separately to the location

speciﬁed on the license order.

If you are also installing prerequisite or optional software, review the PAK status

and install the PAKs for any prerequisite or optional software before you install

TCP/IP Services.

To register a license, log in to the SYSTEM account and do one of the following:

• Run the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM ﬁle and enter the data from your

License PAK.

• At the DCL prompt, enter the LICENSE REGISTER command and the

appropriate qualiﬁers.

You must register a license for each node in an OpenVMS Cluster.

For complete information about LMF, see the OpenVMS License Management

Utility Manual.

1.2.5 Checking the Disk Space

Make sure your system meets the following disk space requirements:

System Minimum Block Size

OpenVMS Alpha 125,000

OpenVMS VAX 70,000

The actual disk space needed varies depending on the system environment,

conﬁguration, and software options.

To ﬁnd out how many free blocks exist on the system disk, enter:

$ SHOW DEVICE SYS$SYSDEVICE

1.2.6 Checking the Physical Memory

Make sure the system meets the following physical memory requirements:

System Minimum Memory

OpenVMS Alpha 32 MB

OpenVMS VAX 24 MB

To check the memory, enter:

$ SHOW MEMORY/FULL
