HP Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS and HP PATHWORKS V6.1 for OpenVMS (Advanced Server)

HP Advanced Server V7.3B for OpenVMS
Installation Utilities
The Advanced Server for OpenVMS is installed on the OpenVMS operating system using the
POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. This utility is also used to verify that the installation
was performed properly and to remove installations.
The installation procedure allows you to install either the complete Advanced Server software,
the standalone License Server only, the standalone external authentication images only, or both
standalone components only.
The Advanced Server for OpenVMS installation procedure gives you the option of delaying
a reboot indefinitely, such as when you need to configure or change more settings before
rebooting.
PATHWORKS NetWare Server
The PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server software has been retired. This product is
no longer supported, and licenses to use this product are no longer sold.
If you are running the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (NetWare) server on the same system with
Advanced Server, you must remove the NetWare server software from the system before you
install Advanced Server.
License Management
The Advanced Server offers license management for Client Access licenses, which can be
used in either client-based or server-based mode. (For details, see the section SOFTWARE
LICENSING.)
The license deliverables for Advanced Server are Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) that are
then used with the OpenVMS License Management Facility (LMF). These PAKs must be loaded
into an LMF database, using standard LMF procedures, on an OpenVMS operating system that
is hosting the Advanced Server or an Advanced Server License Server.
The two types of license management are:
• Client-based license management. The Advanced Server provides a facility called
Advanced Server License Server that acts as a proxy for client systems that require license
keys stored in the LMF database on an OpenVMS operating system.
A single copy of the License Server software provides and verifies Client Access licenses
being used in client-based mode.
The Advanced Server License Manager, which must be run on the same node as the
License Server, provides a user interface that allows the administrator to monitor client-
based license usage, to manage license groups, to set alert levels, to set logging levels for
licensing events, to enable or disable the License Server, and to revoke assigned licenses.
The Advanced Server License Manager is also used to preallocate licenses to specific
‘‘groups’’ (including the special predefined Server-Based group described later).
Each LAN needs only one active Advanced Server License Server. (The License Server
provided with the Advanced Server supports Client Access licenses for all supported
clients.)
