Installing and Administering FTAM/9000

12 Chapter 1

Installing HP FTAM/9000

Installation Overview

Before installing HP FTAM/9000, you need to have installed the other

parts of your “OSI stack” (OTS/9000 and the LAN/9000 link, the

X.25/9000 link, and/or the FDDI/9000 link, as applicable).

Each of the products in the OSI stack requires a speciﬁc amount of root

partition space. When the amounts of root partition space for the

different products you have installed are added together, the total must

not exceed the total space on your system. Verify that there is sufﬁcient

remaining space in the root partition of your HP 9000 computer before

installing HP FTAM/9000. The root partition may need to be increased to

accommodate all of the OSI stack products together. If you attempt the

installation and do not have sufﬁcient space, the update program will let

you know how much space you need.

Complete the steps on the following pages to install HP FTAM/9000. The

screens and messages that you see may be different from those shown,

depending upon the type of computer that you are using.

Complete all installation steps before beginning the conﬁguration steps

in chapter 2.

Before You Begin the Installation

Your HP-UX software includes various utilities that allow you to

manipulate the menus and form screens. This section describes those

utilities and also the HELP function.

Menus

You can select items within a screen menu in any of the following three

ways:

• By entering the ﬁrst letter of the item (if the ﬁrst letter is unique).

For example, if you want to select the Country parameter on a screen,

you would type the letter c.

• By using the arrow keys to highlight the item and then pressing

Return or SELECT ITEM f4. (This is called “selecting” the item.)

• By using Tab to scroll down or Shift-Tab to scroll up, and then pressing

Return or SELECT ITEM f4.
