To install the Network Manager and the ndbm resource database on a new host (HP700 or SUN4) follow exactly the given steps for installation and testing! When the installation and testing are done, read the README.customize file to setup your own environment. ATTENTION: The scripts are not yet running with NIS! Please add an entry for the dserver account to /etc/passwd for the installation! Installation steps: 1.) Create a "dserver" account on your host where you want to install the control system kernel. 2.) Login a dserver and stay in the home directory. 3.) Copy the ndbm_install.tar.Z file to the dserver home directory. 4.) Uncompress ndbm_install.tar.Z 5.) Execute "tar xvf ndbm_install.tar". 6.) cd $HOME/etc 7.) Execute "system.setup" script to install the necessary scripts to /usr/local/bin 8.) Execute "manager.startup" script to start the Network Manager and Database processes. 9.) Read the file $HOME/system/bin/s700/System.log or $HOME/system/bin/sun4/System.log. If all processes are started you should have the following messages: Network Manager started subprocesses at : Tue May 9 16:27:59 1995 NETHOST = taurus PID = 9333 Message Server registered at : Tue May 9 16:27:59 1995 msg_host = taurus prog_nu = 1073741824 vers_nu = 1 Database Server registered at : Tue May 9 16:27:59 1995 db_host = taurus prog_nu = 1073741825 vers_nu = 1 Network Manager startup finished at : Tue May 9 16:27:59 1995 In case of error, verify the nohup.out file. 10.) To test the control system kernel, start the test device server by executing $HOME/etc/Inst_verify.startup. Verify the process is running: ps -ef | grep Inst_verify If not, check the files $HOME/etc/test.log and nohup.out for errors. 11.) Set the NETHOST environment variable: export NETHOST=`hostname` or setenv NETHOST `hostname` cd $HOME/bin/s700 or $HOME/bin/sun4 to execute: Inst_verify_menu test/device/1 Execute the command "ReadValue". The answer should bring up the read- and set values specified in the resource database for the device: Set value = 111.2 Read value = 111.2 State = 2 12.) Shutdown the test device server again with $HOME/etc/Inst_verify.shutdown.
