Initial (First Time) Installation

This chapter is a guide to performing an initial (first time) installation of StrataView Plus and associated software programs. There are two methods for installing StrataView Plus:

Most initial installations of StrataView Plus will be preformed using the instructions in Installing StrataView Plus Automatically. The main reason for doing a manual installation is if you need to set up a different raw partition size for Informix. If you need to install StrataView Plus manually, refer to Installing StrataView Plus Manually.

Note HP OpenView should be installed on your workstation before installing StrataView Plus 8.2. For instructions on installing HP OpenView, refer to the HP OpenView Installation Guide.


Installing StrataView Plus Automatically

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 that includes FrameViewer. These activities are performed by using the automatic StrataView Plus Installer program (SPI). 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.


Prerequisites

You will need the following items to complete the automatic installation using the SPI:

Note HP OpenView should be installed on your workstation before installing StrataView Plus 8.2. For instructions on installing HP OpenView, refer to the HP OpenView Installation Guide.


Procedure

Proceed as follows to perform an automatic initial (first time) installation of StrataView Plus:

Note In the procedures that follow, jaguar is used as the hostname. Where jaguar is shown, the hostname of the applicable workstation would be displayed.

  1. Login as user "root" by entering the following:
    su
    password: <superuser password>

  2. Enter the following command to change to the root directory:
    cd /

  3. Insert the StrataView Plus Rel. 8.2 tape in the tape drive.

  4. Slide the latch to the right.

  5. Enter the command:
    /usr/etc/extract_unbundled

Note The following is an partial script.
This command results in the following message: 
Enter media drive location [local | remote]: l
Enter Device Name (e.g. rst0, rmt0, rfd0c) : /dev/rst0   {you type st0 for /dev/rst0}    
**Please mount the release media if you haven't done so already.**

The rest of the script is not shown here as the messages and choices are spelled out in detail on the screen by the SPI. For a sample script of an actual installation, refer to Appendix A.

  1. The SPI script checks for a second (external) disk. This disk will be partitioned. The SPI script asks if you want to accept the default settings for swap and database disk space allocation, or if you want to choose custom values. If you choose custom values, SPI makes recommendations. Before the disk is partitioned, SPI informs you that this will destroy your current data and allows you to cancel.

  2. The SPI Script checks the availability of user and group accounts for Informix and StrataView Plus, creates home directories for these applications, adds any necessary configuration commands.

  3. The SPI Script requests that you load the Informix tape.

  4. The SPI script asks for the serial number and key for Informix.

  5. The SPI Script requests that you load the WingZ tape or diskette.

  6. The SPI script asks for the serial number and key for WingZ.

  7. The SPI Script requests that you load the StrataView Plus tape.

  8. A message notifying you that the installation was successful displays and you are prompted to reboot the system as follows:

Running the StrataView Plus INSTALL Program

The INSTALL program checks that the second disk is partitioned correctly for StrataView Plus, that the correct user accounts are present, and that Motif, Informix, HP OpenView, and WingZ are configured correctly for StrataView Plus 8.2. It then proceeds to install StrataView Plus 8.2. At the completion of the INSTALL script, it is only necessary to perform the On-Line Help upgrade, configure the workstation to the BPX/ IPX interface, and start up StrataView Plus.

The SV+ INSTALL program performs the following functions:

  • Verifies the environment.

  • Verifies the presence of necessary files.

  • Sets file permissions.

  • Verifies Informix Database/WingZ.

  • Upgrades the database schema as necessary to include new statistics.

  • Restarts the database.

  • Installs the On-Line Help application (FrameViewer).

  • Configures HP OpenView

Installing BPX/IPX On-Line Help

The BPX/IPX On-Line Help files for StrataView Plus come on a separate tape that is installed after StrataView Plus has been installed.


Prerequisites

Make sure you have the tape labelled StrataView Plus BPX/IPX Help Files.


Procedure

Proceed as follows to install the IPX On-Line Help files:

  1. If you are not already logged in as svplus, login as svplus.

  2. Enter a pwd command to verify that you are at the /usr/users/svplus directory.

  3. If the /usr/users/svplus/onlinehelp directory does not already exist, enter:
    mkdir onlinehelp

  4. Enter the following command to change to the "onlinehelp" directory:
    cd /usr/users/svplus/onlinehelp

  5. Enter the following command to verify that you are at the /usr/users/svplus/onlinehelp directory:
    pwd

  6. Load the StrataView Plus Help cartridge and close the door.

  7. Enter the following:
    tar xvpf /dev/rst0
    For a Sun workstation; the "0" in /dev/rst0 is a zero.

  8. Enter the following command to change back to the svplus directory:
    cd ..

  9. Proceed to Configuring Statistics Collection Manager.


Configuring Statistics Collection Manager

The Statistics Collection Manager (SCM) files for StrataView Plus are installed by SPI 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:

  1. Change directory to /etc.

  2. If your workstation is not running NIS, edit the /etc/hosts file of the local StrataView Plus workstation. Make a list with a single line with the nodename and IP address for each node in the network to which this SCM is to connect to. For example, to add an IPX node named alpha enter:
    alpha 192.187.207.1

  3. If you have a workstation that is running NIS (yellow pages), do step 2 on the NIS server instead of the local StrataView Plus machine, and remake the NIS maps.

  4. Enter the following command to change back to the svplus directory:
    exit

  5. Proceed to Configuring the StrataView Plus System to BPX/IPX Interface.


Configuring the StrataView Plus System to BPX/IPX Interface

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 startup. After both an upgrade and an initial installation, this file will contain the default values (user configurable) of /dev/ttya and 9600.


Configuring config.sv Parameters

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.


Setting Up General StrataView Plus Parameters for a LAN Connection

Configure the workstation interface to the node LAN port as follows:

  1. You should be logged in as svplus. If your are at root level, exit from root by entering exit or login as svplus from the workstation window.

  2. Modify the config.sv file for the network configuration by changing the third field to the node's LAN port hostname, e.g., sanfran as follows:
    0|Network1|sanfran|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|
    Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.

Follow the instructions in Section to configure your StrataView Plus system for a BPX/IPX LAN port


Setting Up General StrataView Plus Parameters for a Serial Connection

Configure the workstation interface to the node control port as follows:

  1. You should be logged in as svplus. If your are at root level, exit from root by entering exit or login as svplus from the workstation window.

  2. Modify the config.sv file for the network configuration for baud rate, port, and if necessary telephone number as follows:
    0|Network1|/dev/ttya|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|
    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 (e.g., 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.

Note The above selection is for serial port ttya at a 19200 bps rate. If you were using the terminal server and had set up ttyDD as the port, then you would enter ttyDD, for example, at 19200.

Note The default baud rate in the config.sv file is 9600 bps. The default node baud rate is 9600. StrataCom recommends as fast a connection as possible, so you might want to setup a 19200 connection by changing both the IPX control port and config.sv file to 19200.


Setting Up config.sv for Multiple Networks

StrataView Plus uses one file for all network configurations; therefore, if more than one network is supported by StrataView Plus, just duplicate the first line and change the network id (first field, which must be unique), the network name and serial port (and perhaps the baud rate and telephone number). For example, for a second network, duplicate the first line and change the first field to 1, the second field to Network2 or any name you want for this field, and the port to ttyb. In this example, the other parameters are the same for the second network.

You would then have:

0|Network1|/dev/ttya|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|

1|Network2|/dev/ttyb|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|


Setting Up config.sv for Multiple Domains

Note When configuring domains, using the cnfdmn command, you must use unique domain ids for domains in all networks connected to the same StrataView Plus workstation.

StrataView Plus uses one file for all domain configurations; therefore, if more than one domain is supported by StrataView Plus, first change the network name in the first line from Network1 to Domain1. (You can use any name you want; Domain1 is just an example.) Then just duplicate the first line and change the domain id (first field, which must be unique), the domain name and serial port (and perhaps the baud rate and phone #). For example, for a second domain, duplicate the first line and change the first field to 1, the second field to Domain2, and the port to ttyb. For a third domain, duplicate the first line and change the first field to 2, the second field to Domain3, and the port to ttyDD (e.g., for a terminal server). In this example, the other parameters are the same for the second and third domains. You would then have:

0|Domain1|/dev/ttya|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|

1|Domain2|/dev/ttyb|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|

2|Domain3|/dev/ttyDD|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|


Configuring the StrataView Plus System for a BPX/IPX RS-232 Port

Note Use these procedures if connecting to a BPX/IPX RS-232 Control Port. If connecting to a BPX/IPX LAN port using the DB-15 connector on the LM-BCC (BCC backcard on a BPX) or SCC-B (NPC backcard on an IPX), proceed to the next section.

  1. Make sure the IPX/BPX network(s) are up.

  2. When the serial RS-232 interface is used, the IPX/BPX acts as a DCE and expects DTE equipment to be connected to the IPX control port RS232 connection. Therefore, whether the IPX control port is connected to a terminal server or to a workstation, only a straight-through RS232 cable is required to the IPX control port. When a high-speed LAN connection is used to either a BCC or NPC backcard, a DB-15 connector is required.

  3. When using the serial RS-232 interface, connect the serial control port of the IPX node to StrataView Plus via port 2, for example, of the terminal server or to the serial port (ttya) of the workstation if no terminal server is used.

  4. To test that a serial port connection is okay, while logged in as svplus, enter the following command:

    IPXAdmin -p/dev/ttyXX -ebaud_rate
    For example, for a serial port of ttya at 9600 bps, or a terminal server port of ttyDD at 19,200 bps, you would enter the following, respectively:

    IPXAdmin -p/dev/ttya -e9600
    IPXAdmin -p/dev/ttyDD -e19200
    To test that a LAN connection to the IPX/BPX port is okay, for example, a hostname of "sanfran" entered in the config.sv file, you could enter the following:

    ping sanfran
    Press shift-backspace (or shift-delete, and return, also) a few times and the Node Administration Window should appear. The window should show an IPX/BPX response such as "Enter User ID". If it does not, the link is not working correctly. Click on the DISMISS button on this screen to dismiss it and exit. On a serial port, the IPX control port defaults to 9600 baud. If it is not at 9600, you will have to try a different rate, probably 19200, in the IPXAdmin -p/dev/ttyXX -ebaud_rate command in order to establish a link.

  5. You can log on to the IPX/BPX through this Node Administration window and use the IPX/BPX dsptermcnf command to view the IPX/BPX control port settings. You can use the cnfterm command to configure the IPX/BPX control port settings.

    • You need to set "Use DTR' to "NO", and to set the baud rate as desired. For a higher speed connection change it from the default of 9600 to a 19200 rate.

Note To cancel an IPX/BPX command entered in the IPX /BPX Node Administration Window, press shift-delete.

    • Be sure to dismiss the IPX Administration window brought up by the IPXAdmin -p/dev/ttyXX -ebaud_rate command to ensure that this process is not running when starting StrataView Plus because the serial port will not be available to both processes.

Note Alternatively, you can use a dumb terminal connected to another node, and use the IPX vt command to vt to the node that is connected to the StrataView Plus workstation. You can then use the cnfport command as just described to configure the IPX control port.


Configuring the StrataView Plus System for a BPX/IPX LAN Port

Note Configure the BPX/IPX node LAN parameters before connecting it to a LAN.

  1. Contact your System Administrator to obtain IP addresses for your workstation and for the BPX/IPX node you are going to configure.

  2. Normally, the System Administrator will update the NIS database, as applicable (if an NIS is used), and will add the IP addresses for the workstation and node to the NIS database.
    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:

    • Edit the /etc/hosts file in your workstation, and add the following lines if they do not already appear there. The addresses shown are just examples. Use the addresses obtained from your System Administrator. (This example is for a workstation named "hedgehog" at address 192.187.207.200. It also assumes that the BPR/IPX node LAN port for node sanfran has been assigned an IP address of 192.187.210.30 and a hostname of sanfran. Your own host name and addresses will be different.)

    192.187.207.200 hedgehog
    192.187.210.30 sanfran

    • Edit the /etc/services file in your workstation and add the following:

    IPX_PORT 5120/tcp ipx_port

Note If an NIS is being used (e.g., corporate network), you will need to contact the System Administrator.

Note 5120 is used for the LAN ports on all BPX/IPX ports.

    • Reboot the workstation so that the changes to the /etc/services file to take effect.

  1. Modify the config.sv file for the network configuration by changing the third field to the node's LAN port hostname, e.g., sanfran as follows:

    0|Network1|sanfran|19200|0|7|3|0|30|256|8.2|
    Leave the other fields as is. For example, the baud rate of 19200 does not apply to a LAN connection.

  2. Next, configure the LAN port on the BPX/IPX node using a dumb terminal or an RS-232 connection via the workstation (using the vt command, as applicable) to enter the appropriate cnflan parameters.
    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:

    • IPAddr is the Internet Protocol address of the node used in the TCP/IP protocol.

    • IPSubnetMask is a 32-bit mask. The default for a Class C LAN network is 255.255.255.0.

    • TCPServicePort is the BPX/IPX LAN port number entered in the /etc/service file on the workstation. It is 5120 for all BPX/IPX nodes.

    • GatewayIPAddr is the Internet gateway address. This is the gateway that traffic is routed through if the BPX/IPX node and workstation are on different networks. If they are on the same network, the gateway is not used. The default "none" is displayed in this case. If a gateway IP is entered and later you want to remove it, enter 192.0.0.0 opposite the prompt and "none" will again be displayed.

    A cnflan screen is shown in Figure 2-1. The active IP address for the workstation has been entered as the IP address selected previously for the node, 192.187.207.21. The IP Subnet mask is entered as 255.255.255.0 for a Class C LAN network. The TCP service port is entered as 5120. Since the workstation and node are on different networks in this example, a gateway address of 192.187.207.1, which must be obtained from your System Administrator, has been entered. If the workstation and node are both on the same network, no gateway address is needed. The "Maximum LAN Transmit Unit" and "Ethernet Address" parameters are not configurable by the cnflan command. The "Ethernet Address" is different for every BPX/IPX control port.

  3. Verify that the IPX node contains an SCC-B backcard and an NPC card (required for LAN connection to IPX). Also, if the node is an IPX 8 or 16 single shelf unit, verify that the utility bus has been upgraded to a UBS-2, model 550058. Refer to the IPX Reference Manual for further information on upgrading these components.

  2. Connect the StrataView Plus workstation and the BPX/IPX node to a LAN network. Examples are shown in Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3. The LAN port on the BPX/IPX node provides a DB-15 connector for an AUI.

  3. To test that a LAN connection to the IPX/BPX port is okay, for example, for a hostname of "sanfran" entered in the config.sv file, you could enter the following:

    ping sanfran

  4. Once the workstation and BPX/IPX node interface has been set up, StrataView Plus can be started. Figure 2-4 shows the dsplan screen after StrataView Plus has been started and the communication sockets are active.

Setting Up a Sun Workstation for Dial-In from ISC

Setup of a Sun Workstation for incoming modem calls:

  1. Login as superuser (i.e., root).

  2. Edit the /etc/ttytab file as follows:

    ttyb "/usr/etc/getty D9600" dialup on remote

  3. Check to see if getty is running for ttyb by entering:

    ps -aux | fgrep getty
    Note the process ID so you can kill it and restart the getty.

  4. If a getty is already running for the specified port, find its process id, then issue:

    kill -9 <process ID>

  5. Restart init by entering:

    kill -HUP 1
    This command restarts the new getty.

  6. Configure the modem for 7 bits odd parity. The modem will now send all incoming data toward the SUN in a VT100 manner. Therefore, a remote terminal user will have to login just as any other user on the system.


Configuring Modem for Dial-In from ISC (Auto-Answer)

Configure the modem connected to the workstation per the Auto Answer procedure.

Note Not all of the modem EIA leads are supported by the workstation. If a Hayes modem is used in place of the Codex V34RSA modem, configure the Hayes modem using the following AT commands.

DCD---On AT&CØ
DTR---On AT&DØ
DSR---Normal AT&S1
CTS---ON when connected AT&R1
ATSØ=1 (answer on first ring)

When the system is up, the ISC is capable of calling into the StrataView Plus via the serial port on the workstation.


Starting an StrataView Plus GUI from Another Workstation

This section describes how to start a copy of the GUI on another user's workstation.


Prerequisites

The workstation must have the following software installed:

  • DEC Motif for Sun, version 1.1 software.

Note Multiple WingZ licenses are required for multiple users.


Procedure

  1. Bring up a Motif window manager on the user's workstation.

  2. Open a terminal window.

  3. Enter:

    xhost <host-workstation-name>

  4. Do an rlogin to the host workstation.

  5. Set the DISPLAY variable to local display.
    For example, where the local workstation is maui:

    in csh: setenv DISPLAY maui:0.0
    in sh or ksh: export DISPLAY;DISPLAY=maui:0.0

  6. Enter:

    cd /usr/users/svplus

  7. Enter:

    SV+
    to display the StrataView Plus main menu, and select option 3 (Start DeskTop).


NCD X Terminal Support

Note Multiple WingZ licenses are required for multiple users.

Call ISC before proceeding. For NCD X terminal support (Sun in csh):


On the StrataView Plus Sun workstation:

  1. Edit the /etc/hosts file to include your NCD terminal. The line should read something like:

    192.9.200.8 xt008

  2. Make sure that the NCD fonts are loaded into a directory called

    /usr/lib/X11/ncd fonts

Note The following fonts need to be installed in order to run SCM:
-*-*-bold-r-*-*-*-*-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-bold-r-*-*-*-170-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-bold-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-*-bold-r-normal--14-140-75-75-p-82-iso8859-1
-*-courier-bold-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-70-iso8859-1
-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-120-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-140-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-courier-bold-r-*-*-*-160-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-1
-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-100-75-75-*-*-iso8859-1


On your NCD terminal:

  1. If you are doing a remote login (rlogin), execute this command on your host system:

    /usr/openwin/bin/xhost +

  2. Do an rlogin to the Sun workstation svplus account (if remotely logged in)

  3. The DISPLAY environment logical should be set to your terminal, e.g., enter:

    setenv DISPLAY xtname:0.0

Note In this command, name stands for the name of your Xterminal. For example, if the Xterminal name is "dolphin", the command would be entered as:

setenv DISPLAY dolphin:0.0

  1. Enter this command:

    source setncd.csh

  2. You can now execute StrataView Plus. If another system has already started StrataView Plus, choose option 3 (Start Desktop). The Desktop GUI will open. Otherwise, choose option 1 (Start Core) to start the StrataView Plus core processes.
