Installation and Upgrade Guide

For more information about running the application, see the file
SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC_README.TXT. Release notes are located in the file
SYS$COMMON:[TDC]TDC_RELEASE_NOTES.TXT. See both of these files before running the
collector application.
7.8.10.5 Installation in OpenVMS Clusters
TDC_RT is installed in SYS$COMMON:[TDC] by default. Included are only those files required
to run the data collector with the particular operating system version it was distributed with.
Once TDC_RT is installed and SYS$STARTUP:TDC$STARTUP.COM has been run on each cluster
member, then all cluster members in a single-version, single-architecture OpenVMS Cluster
should be able to run the software.
For mixed-version and mixed-architecture clusters, you should obtain and install a complete
Performance Data Collector kit (TDC Version 2.2) from the following website:
http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/tdc
The complete kit provides an SDK and run-time environments for all supported OpenVMS
configurations. It supports installation on a clusterwide basis in mixed-version and
mixed-architecture OpenVMS Clusters.
7.8.11 Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station (Optional)
If you installed the OpenVMS Management Station software on your system (either by accepting
all default values or by selecting the component manually during the installation or upgrade
procedure), you must perform several tasks on your OpenVMS system and your PC before you
can use OpenVMS Management Station. These tasks include the following:
• Editing system files
• Starting OpenVMS Management Station on other nodes
• Verifying that you have the proper memory, disk space, media, and the required software
to install and run OpenVMS Management Station on your PC
• Installing the client software on your PC
• Defining DECnet nodes (after a new installation only)
For complete information about preparing your OpenVMS system and your PC to run the
OpenVMS Management Station server and client software, see Appendix G (page 257).
7.8.12 Installing OpenVMS Debugger Clients on a PC (Optional)
The latest version of the OpenVMS Debugger runs on OpenVMS I64 systems. The debug server
runs on OpenVMS, while a debug client, which is the user interface to the server, runs on
OpenVMS and on Microsoft® Windows® 95, Windows 98, Windows NT®, Windows 2000,
Windows XP®, and Windows Vista®. There is no special installation procedure for the
components that run on OpenVMS. The installation guide and kit for the OpenVMS debugger
client is located on the Layered Products CD that comes with the OpenVMS binary CD set. The
directory on the CD is DEBUG_CLIENTS011. The KIT.DIR subdirectory contains the following
files:
• 40COMUPD.EXE
• DEBUGX86011.EXE
For installation instructions, see the INSTALLATION_INFO.PS or INSTALLATION_INFO.TXT
file in the DOCUMENTATION subdirectory.
7.9 Creating a System-Specific Login Welcome Message (Optional)
You can use SYS$WELCOME to display a system-specific welcome message at login. The message
could inform users of scheduled down time, recent updates to the system, whom to contact about
