Chapter 3 AIX 4.1.4, 4.1.5, and 4.2

System Requirements

• Operating System -- AIX 4.1.4, 4.1.5, or 4.2.

• Prerequisite Packages -- The packages below, located on the AIX 4.1.4 and 4.1.5 operating system media. Install them before continuing with the TAS installation. Use the listed versions or later.

  • bos.net.tcp.server 4.1.3.0

  • bos.txt.tfs 4.1.3.0

  • bos.rte.streams 4.1.4.3

  • bos.rte.tty 4.1.4.10

  • bos.data 4.1.4.0

  AIX 4.1.4 users: Install the following PTFs from IBM:

  • U443346 for bos.rte.tty v 4.1.4.10

  • U441953 for bos.rte.streams 4.1.4.3

• Input Device -- A CD-ROM drive.

• Disk Space -- Approximately 35 MB of free disk space in the /usr partition. Use the df -k command to verify free space. To make free space available, find a partition with sufficient space and create a symbolic link from the /usr/totalnet directory to a directory on another partition as follows, where partition represents the partition with sufficient space:

  # ln -s /partition /usr/totalnet

• DLPI Configuration -- Correct configuration of DLPI, as directed below.

• Network Interface Card -- An available network interface card on your system. Verify its availability with the command lsdev -C. This command displays the status of all hardware within the system.

DLPI Configuration

Follow these steps to configure DLPI by editing the files /etc/dlpi.conf and /etc/pse.conf:

1. Uncomment the lines of code for the interface you wish to configure. For example, of the code lines below, you need to remove pound sign (#) from the beginning of each of the last three lines to uncomment the 802.3, Token Ring, and FDDI drivers, in addition to the already-uncommented Ethernet driver. This code comes from the /etc/dlpi.conf file.

   d+ dlpi en /dev/dlpi/en # streams dlpi ethernet driver #d+ dlpi et /dev/dlpi/et # streams dlpi 802.3 driver #d+ dlpi tr /dev/dlpi/tr # streams dlpi token ring driver #d+ dlpi fi /dev/dlpi/fi # streams dlpi FDDI driver

   This code shows uncommented PSE drivers and modules in the /etc/pse.conf file:

   d+ stddev echo /dev/echo # what-u-write-is-what-u-read d+ stddev nuls /dev/nuls # streams version of /dev/null d spx # streams "pipe multiplexor" m sc # streams config list (scls) module

2. Reboot the UNIX server for these changes to take effect.

Installation Steps

If you want to upgrade, follow the upgrading instructions in the section Upgrading.

TAS includes the following packages:

• TAS.server.admin 5.2.0.0

• TAS.server.doc 5.2.0.0

• TAS.server.com 5.2.0.0

• TAS.server.lmserver 5.2.0.0

• TAS.server.macserver 5.2.0.0

• TAS.server.man 5.2.0.0

• TAS.server.nwserver 5.2.0.0

The AIX installation program extracts the TAS software package from the distribution media, sets the ownership and permission mode of the files, and moves them to the appropriate directories. This example of the installation process shows the installation of all packages. You may install through the usual TAS installation method or with the smit installation tool.

Follow these steps to install TAS by the usual method:

1. Log in as root.

2. Place the CD in the drive.

3. Mount the CD-ROM as in the following example, where device represents the path to the CD-ROM (for example, /dev/cd0), and mntpnt represents the directory mount point:

   # mount -v cdrfs -oro device /mntpnt

4. To install the package, enter the command below at the system prompt, where mntpnt represents the directory mount point. This command installs all packages in the TAS distribution.

   # installp 2>&1 -qacgNX -d /mntpnt/TAS/aix4_1_4 all

Follow these steps to install TAS using smit:

1. Start smit by entering the following command at the system prompt:

   # smit install_latest1

2. Select the menu option Install New Software Products at Latest Level.

3. In the INPUT device/directory for software field, enter the following command:

   # /mntpnt/TAS/aix4_1_4

4. Select all licensed to install all packages. Press Enter.

   Note -

   If you have steps to finish in Chapter 2, Upgrading, go back to Step 9 in your upgrading section at this point.

5. Read Chapter 7, General TAS Issues.

6. Connect to TNAS and administer TAS by following the instructions in "Connecting to TNAS and Accessing Documentation".

   You must complete initial setup to enable TAS services. You do not need to complete initial setup to upgrade.
