This section offers some useful information for installing HP OpenView. For complete installation instructions, refer to the HP OpenView Installation Guide.
To install HPOV after the Solaris installation, follow these instructions:
forceload: sys/semsys
forceload: sys/shmsys
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=268435456
set semsys:seminfo_semmap=64
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semmnu=4096
set semsys:seminfo_semume=64
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100
set shmsys:shminfo_shmseg=100
set semsys:seminfo_semaem=16384
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=32767
Before loading StrataView Plus and associated programs, it is necessary to partition the internal boot disk. When the installation has completed, the screen shown appears, as shown in Figure 2-1.
The Customize Disks screens let you make selections that determine your disk layout. (see examples in Figures 2-1and 2-2).
Table 2-1 gives a more detailed example of disk partitioning.
| 0 | Disk 0 / | 70 | 0 | Disk 1 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Disk 0 swap | = size *2 of Phy Mem | 1 | Disk 1 | |
| 2 | Disk 0 Overlap | 1980 | 2 | Disk 1 Overlap | 1980 |
| 3 | Disk 0 | 3 | Disk 1 | ||
| 4 | Disk 0 /var | 100 | 4 | Disk 1 | |
| 5 | Disk 0 /opt | 450 | 5 | Disk 1 | |
| 6 | Disk 0 /usr | Remainder of Disk | 6 | Disk 1 /usr/users | Remainder of Disk |
| 7 | Disk 0 | 7 | Disk 1 | 800 |
An optional enhancement of the 8.4 release of StrataView Plus is disk striping, which requires three raw partitions for dual disk option.
Disk striping allows faster access. Spreading data across a stripe gives you increased performance, as reads and writes are spread across multiple disk arms.
When disk striping is used for Informix raw partitions, limit each partition to 2.0 GB, as Informix does not support single raw partitions larger than 2.1 GB.
The following table gives (as an example) partition information for three disks attached to three controllers.
When disk striping is used for Informix raw partitions, limit each partition to 2.0 GB, as Informix does not support single raw partitions larger than 2.1 GB.
For complete information on the disk striping procedure, refer to the following technical manuals:
To install the SunSolstice DiskSuite follow this procedure:
Install DiskSuite CD in CD-ROM drive. Type:
cd /cdrom/cdrom0
pkgadd -d 'pwd'
Select 2 and 3 to be installed. (Follow on-screen instructions.)
Type the following command:
/usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/metatool
or
cd /usr/opt/SUNWmn/sbin
To start the DiskSuite Tool, type:
./metatool
Open a Concat/Stripe template from the Metadevice Editor.
The first time DiskSuite Tool is started on a system, a warning message appears. Click on the OK button.
To check the status of the status of the database and the replicas, you can move the MetaDB object from the device list and view the Status Field on the object.
Information about the new devices is written to the appropriate files.
StrataView Plus 8.4 offers a refined and easy-to-follow automated installation procedure. The components and what they do are presented concisely and in no way reflect the technical sophistication of this feature.
To ensure a smooth installation, it helps to be aware of the following tips:
This release of StrataView Plus does not support swap on the secondary drive.

An initial installation of StrataView Plus includes the partitioning of the second disk, setting up Informix and StrataView Plus user and group accounts on the operating system disk, and the installation of Motif, Informix, Wingz, and the StrataView Plus application. Following that, the On-Line Help files are loaded, and the StrataView Plus workstation to BPX/IPX interface is configured for either an RS-232 or LAN connection.
Proceed as follows to perform an initial (first time) installation of StrataView Plus:
su <RETURN> password: <superuser password> <RETURN>
cd / <RETURN>
/var/tmp directory. If there is adequate space in the /usr/users/svplus/tmp directory, enter the following commands to install StrataView Plus in the /usr/users/svplus/tmp directory:
rm -rf /var/tmp ln -s /usr/users/svplus/tmp /var/tmp
The BPX/IPX On-Line Help files for StrataView Plus come on a separate tape that is installed after StrataView Plus has been installed. Make sure you have the tape labelled StrataView Plus BPX/IPX Help Files.
Proceed as follows to install the IPX On-Line Help files:
mkdir onlinehelp
cd /usr/users/svplus/onlinehelp
pwd
tar xvpf /dev/rmt/0
For a Sun workstation; the "0" in /dev/rmt/0 is a zero.
cd ..
The Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) files for StrataView Plus are installed as part of the StrataView Plus installation. If there are multiple NMS workstations used to control the network or if this is a structured network, you must upgrade each instance of StrataView Plus and configure SCM on each NMS workstation. Proceed as follows to configure the network for management by SCM:
192.187.207.1 alpha
exit
The config.sv file contains a single line (or lines for more than one network or domain) of parameters used by StrataView Plus to establish a connection to the BPX/IPX node at start-up. After both an upgrade and an initial installation, this file will contain the default values (user configurable) of /dev/ttya and 9600.
For an initial (first time) installation of StrataView Plus, the default parameters gateway and 9600 are not applicable. the config.sv file should be modified to set up the required links from StrataView Plus to the attached network(s) or domains.
Configure the workstation interface to the node LAN port as follows:
0|Network1|sanfran|19200|0|7|6|0|30|1024|8.4|nwip_on|
Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.
Configure the workstation interface to the node control port as follows:
0|Network1|/dev/ttya|19200|0|7|6|0|30|256|8.4|nwip_on|
where:
The first field is the network id and must be unique.
The second field is the network name and must be unique and less than or equal to 8 characters in length. The network name uniquely identifies a network. For consistency, if more than one StrataView Plus workstation is connected to the same network, that StrataView Plus workstation should use the same network name in this field. Similarly, if more than one StrataView Plus workstation is connected to the same domain in a structured network, that StrataView Plus workstation should use the same domain name in this field.
The third field is the port and must be unique. This can be for example, /dev/ttya for RS-232 serial port, IP host name for LAN connection to a node (for example, sanfran) or /dev/ttyDD (or similar designation not already assigned used by the workstation) for LAN connection to terminal server from which a serial port then connects to a node.
The fourth field is the baud rate.
The fifth field is the phone number (if not applicable, set at 0). In some cases, ",0" or something other than "0" may be required for a null if "0" has significance to the public network.
The sixth through tenth fields should remain the same.
If the System Administrator takes care of the addressing for the workstation, including the /etc/services file, proceed to step 3. If not, and an NIS is not being used, do the following:
1. 192.187.207.200 hedgehog
192.187.210.30 sanfran
Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.
The cnflan command configures the node's communication parameters so that the node can communicate with a StrataView Plus terminal over an Ethernet LAN using the TCP/IP protocol. The parameters contain address information about the Ethernet TCP/IP network that is used to connect the StrataView Plus station to an IPX or BPX node. The values used must conform to those of the network and should be supplied by the Ethernet network administrator.
The cnflan command has the following parameters:

The first time that StrataView Plus is started, it obtains the current network topology information and enables default trunk and circuit line statistics that you selected using the SCM software.
Before starting up StrataView Plus, you need to plan the statistics types that you want to enable automatically and enable these using the SCM program. Refer to Chapter 5 of the StrataView Plus Operations Guide for information on enabling statistics using SCM.
Start up StrataView Plus as follows:
The StrataView Plus Operations Guide includes a thorough explanation in the chapter, "Informix Database, Backup, and Changing Size." The StrataView Operations Guide is recommended reading for topics outside the scope of this installation guide.
The following commands are provided for configuring the Codex V.34 RSA modem.
