VISTA Plus for MPE Administrator's Guide

Server Administration for Windows Clients
2-3
Step1 Install VISTA Plus on the HP 3000
VISTA Plus for MPE must be installed on the HP 3000 machine that will be used as the server for
your Windows clients. VISTA Plus is packaged as a module to NBSpool and in most cases, is
automatically installed when NBSpool is installed. If VISTA Plus was already installed, you can
skip this step. If VISTA Plus was not installed with NBSpool, you must purchase a VISTA Plus
upgrade package that includes the VISTA Plus files.
To check whether VISTA Plus is intalled, enter the command below:
:RUN VISTA.PUB.NETBASE, VERSION
This command should return the version number for VISTA Plus. If VISTA Plus is not installed,
no version number is returned. After NBSpool and VISTA Plus have been installed, go to Step 2.
Step 2 Configure the Server to Accept Windows Clients
You must launch a batch job to configure the VISTA Plus server to accept VISTA Plus for
Windows MPE clients. The batch job will automatically create a new POSIX directory named /vcs
and install several files into this directory.
To launch the batch job to configure the VISTA Plus server:
1. Log on to the HP 3000 as MANAGER.SYS.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS
2. Stream the INSTVCS install job by typing:
:STREAM INSTVCS.JOB.NETBASE
3. Several VISTA Plus server configuration files are installed into a new POSIX directory
named /vcs.
4. License the server. For this step you need a VISTA license key. This key will have been
shipped with your tape.
:RUN SH.HPBIN.SYS
$ cd /vcs
$ ./regkey
Please enter the license key: D5KW20SF0GMK8
This license is valid for 20 users for 45 days.
