5.2.5.1 Checking Disk Space for Installation Into a Diskless Environment

For SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX installations into the diskless environment, the disk on which SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX subsets reside are on a server system. Therefore, for installations into diskless environments, log in to the server system to check disk space requirements.

Inspect the free space in the environment(s) that you want to install the client. For example, if you have only one diskless installation environment set up on your system, it is found on the path /var/adm/dms/dms0.alpha.

This free space must be large enough to hold the subset requirements listed in Table 5-2. Consult the Tru64 UNIX document entitled, Sharing Software on a Local Area Network, for more information on sizing disk space necessary for a DMS installation.

5.3 Backing Up Your System Disk

You should back up your system disk before installing any software. Use the backup procedures established at your site. For details on performing a system disk backup, see your Tru64 UNIX documentation.

5.4 Stopping the Installation

You can stop the installation procedure at any time by using [Ctrl]-C. However, files created up to that point are not deleted. You must delete files interactively. Appendix A lists the files and directories created during the installation procedure.

5.5 Error Recovery

If errors occur during the installation, the system displays failure messages. If the installation fails because of insufficient disk space, the installation procedure displays the following messages:


 
 There is not enough file system space for subset SCHBPR1711. 
 SCHEDULE Group 1 executable files (SCHBPR711) will not be loaded. 
 

Errors can occur during the installation if any of the following conditions exist:

For descriptions of error messages generated by these conditions, see the DIGITIAL UNIX documentation on system messages, recovery procedures, and Tru64 UNIX software installation. If you are notified that any of these conditions exist, take the appropriate action described in the message. For information on system requirements, see Section 5.2.3

5.6 Installing SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX

This chapter describes the procedures for installing SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX software. Before you start, read Chapter 5, which describes the general options and requirements that apply to installing SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX software.

5.7 Selecting the installation method

SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX software can be installed in a number of ways:

5.7.1 Option 1: Obtaining the .tar or .tar.gz file using the ISE Support Site

The ISE Support Site has a direct link to the latest version of the Installation file required to install EntepriseSCHEDULE. The URL to access the download is:


 
http://support.i-s-e.com/software_downloads/unix/ 
 

Download SCH7312.tar or SCH7312.tar to a local temporary directory on your Tru64 UNIX machine and uncompress the file.

5.7.2 Option 2: Obtaining the .tar or .tar.gz file using the ISE FTP Site

To download the software, you must have FTP access to the internet from a Tru64 UNIX session. Start by changing to the root directory:


 
cd / 
 

Start by entering the following FTP command:


 
# FTP ftp.i-s-e.com 
 

Use ftp to download the file to an empty directory:


 
ftp> cd /latest_tru64 
 
ftp> bin 
 
ftp> get SCH7312.tar.gz 
 
or 
 
ftp> get SCH7312.tar 
 

5.7.3 Option 3: Copying the .tar file from the CD

If you are installing SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX software from disk, start the installation procedure as follows:

  1. Insert the media into the appropriate CD-ROM disk drive.
  2. Log in as a superuser (login name root) to the system on which you are installing SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX
  3. Make sure you are at the root (/) directory by entering the following command.


     
    # cd / 
     
    

  4. Specify the /mnt directory to the mount point for the distribution file system on the drive. If your drive is ra1, enter the following command:


     
    # mount -t cdfs -o noversion,rrip /dev/ra1c /mnt 
     
    

  5. Copy /unix/schedule/kit/SCH7312.tar from the CD to a local temporary directory


     
    # cp /unix/schedule/kit/SCH7312.tar /tmp 
     
    

5.8 Running the installation

This installation procedure loads SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX files on a disk that belongs to the system on which you perform the installation. When SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX is run, its executable images are mapped into memory on this system.

5.8.1 Running the install

This section explains how unzip the file, start a local installation procedure and how to respond to installation procedure prompts.

To unzip the .gz file:


 
# gunzip SCH7312.tar.gz 
 

To explode the tar container:


 
# tar -xvf SCH7312.tar 
 

Note: To install the software:

You can now run the installation. The most simple installation command would be:


 
# setld -l ./sch7312   
 

(or /usr/sbin/setld)

5.8.2 Responding to Installation Procedure prompts

This section explains the installation procedure prompts and displays.

5.8.2.1 Selecting Subsets

After you enter the setld command for local (non-specific) installations or after you start the dms or ris utility for server installations, the installation procedure displays the names of SCHEDULE for Tru64 UNIX subsets and asks you to specify the subsets that you want to load:


 
*** Enter Subset Selections *** 
 
The subsets listed below are optional: 
 
The may be more optional subsets that can be presented on a single screen. If 
this is the case , you can choose subsets screen by screen, or all at once on 
the last screen. All of the choices you make will be collected for your 
confirmation before any subsets are installed. 
 
1) SCHEDULE Group 0 initial database 
2) SCHEDULE Group 1 executable images 
3) SCHEDULE Group 1 initial database 
 
Or you may choose one of the following options: 
 
4) All mandatory and all optional subsets 
5) MANDATORY subsets only 
6) Cancel selections and redisplay menus 
7) Exit without installing any subsets 
 
Enter your choices or press RETURN to redisplay menus. 
 
Choices (for example, 1 2 4-6): 3 
 

When installing form a RIS server, note that the subset numbers may vary depending on what products are available in the RIS area.

If you specify more than one number at the prompt, seperate each number with a space, not a comma.

Next, the script lets you verify your choice. For example if you enter 3 in response to the previous prompt, you will see the following display:


 
You are installing the following optional subsets: 
 
Is this correct?: (y/n): 
 

If the displayed subsets are not the ones you intended to choose, enter n. In this case, the subset selection menu is again displayed and you can correct your choice of optional subsets.
If the displayed subsets are the ones you want to load, enter y.

Note

If this is an upgrade, skip to step 6. Otherwise: load the PAS license number (instructions are in the file)

Load the PAS number


 
# vi /schedule_library/sch0_license.dat 
 

Start the Schedule Server (on reboot this is automatic)


 
# /schedule_library/schedule_start.ksh bootall 
 

Complete the installation by loading standard objects:


 
# /schedule_library/schedule_standard_loads.ksh 
 

Note

If this is a new install you are done.

Shutdown any running SCHEDULE servers by using the following commands:


     
# /schedule_library/schedule_start.ksh stop 0 
     
# /schedule_library/schedule_start.ksh stop 1 
 

Copy the license files from the previous installation to the new installation and merge the parameter files from the previous installation to the new installation:


 
# cp /opt/{prev-inst}/sch0_license.dat /opt/{curr-inst}/sch0_license.dat 
 
# cp /opt/{prev-inst}/sch1_license.dat /opt/{curr-inst}/sch1_license.dat 
 

Merge /opt/{previous-installation}/sch0_parameter.dat with /opt/{current-inst}/sch0_parameter.dat
Merge /opt/{previous-installation}/sch1_parameter.dat with /opt/{current-inst}/sch1_parameter.dat
Start the server:


 
# /schedule_library/schedule_start.ksh start 0 
      
# /schedule_library/schedule_start.ksh start 1 
 

Optional Step - After the installation is complete and if you choose to remove the previous installation, the following procedure will only delete programs and data files installed when you last installed SCHEDULE. Jobs or other data that you have added since the installation will NOT be deleted. They will continue to be present and accessible after you install the new version. You may choose to skip this step and save this as a previous version of SCHEDULE. The new and previous versions are installed in separate directories in /opt.


 
# swremove Schedule<previous version number> 
 

(e.g. Schedule7214 to remove Schedule version 7.2.14)
To see which version of Schedule is installed:


 
# swlist 
 

Complete the installation by re-loading standard objects (ISE adds in new standard items):


 
# /schedule_library/schedule_standard_loads.ksh
