HP Resource Sharing for MPE/iX

Installing Resource Sharing 

Task 1.  Record License Information 

The following procedures assume that you are updating license information 
or installing Resource Sharing for the first time.  If you have already
recorded license information and do not need to update it, go to the next
step, "Stream the Resource Sharing Job Stream" later in this section.

The HP NewWave Office License Control program regulates usage of Resource
Sharing.  It allows you to record and update license information on your
system, or print a report of the license authorization history.  The
program prompts you to enter the product and license information from the
"Software Certificate of License to Use." This information is then
recorded on the system and used to enforce license control.  The software
certificate is shown below. 

[]
Follow the instructions below to run the License Control program. The information can be entered in upper or lowercase. You may enter // at any of the prompts to exit the program. 1. Log on as: HELLO MANAGER.SYS 2. Run the license control program by entering the following command: NWOLC.PPC.SYS Use the information on your Software Certificate (the examples use the sample information from the certificate shown on the previous page). The program displays a menu and a message informing you of the system type. For example: ________________________________________________________________________________ | | | | | NWO License Control Utility(A.02.00) Copyright(c) Hewlett-Packard 1994 | | | | This system is a Series 957 (LC 102) | | | | NWOLC - The following functions are available: | | | | 1) UPDATE License Authorization | | 2) REPORT on License Authorization History | | 3) EXIT this program | | | | Please enter your choice: | | | ________________________________________________________________________________ 3. Enter 1 or Update at the prompt. The program prompts for the order number. 4. Enter the sales order number shown on your Software Certificate. For example: Enter Order Number: 513705672310X893 The program prompts for the product number. 5. Enter the software product number. For example: Enter Product Number: B1718A The program prompts for the product option. 6. Enter the product option. For example: Enter Option Number: UA3 The program prompts for the option quantity. 7. Enter the option quantity. For example: Enter Option Quantity: 3 The program prompts for the license code. 8. Enter the license code. For example: Enter License Code: NRTU-0Q7G-8400-X9D0 The dashes in the license code are not required, although you may enter them. A message tells you what the license code authorizes, and that the license code was accepted and the history file was updated: ___________________________________________________________ | | | | | This system is a Series 957. (LC 102) | | | | This license authorizes 12 users. (LC 053) | | | | The License Code was accepted. The history file | | has been updated. (LC 100) | | | ___________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ NOTE If the license information you entered is not adequate for your system, a warning tells you that the license does not authorize this system. For example: Warning: This license does not authorize this system. The License Code was accepted. The history file has been updated. (LC 100) If you get this message, the code is accepted because it is a valid license code, but your NewWave Office products may not function properly. Contact your Hewlett-Packard representative if you need a new license for this system. _________________________________________________________________ The program will prompt you again to enter an order number so that you can enter additional license codes. 9. Enter the appropriate response: * If you have another certificate, the value that you previously added will appear at each prompt as a default. Press Return at the prompts to accept the defaults, or enter new values. * If you do not have another certificate that needs to be recorded, enter // at this prompt. The License Control menu will appear. 10. Enter 3 or Exit at the menu prompt to exit the program. When you start Resource Sharing, you see a message on your system console that describes the license in effect for your system. For example: License Authorization Successful (NWO LC) Product Component: Resource Sharing Authorized for: 12 Users 11. Go to the next step: * If you are installing Resource Sharing for the first time, go to "Stream the Resource Sharing Job Stream." * If you are not installing Resource Sharing and the release at this time, shut down your system and then do a START NORECOVERY to enable use of the new license information. Task 2. Stream the Resource Sharing Job Stream To complete the Resource Sharing installation, stream the JPDINSTL job stream: 1. Log on as: HELLO MANAGER.SYS 2. Stream the JPDINSTL job stream: STREAM JPDINSTL.PPC.SYS Task 3. Check Network Configuration A modification to the server's network communication method was made as of version A.02.00. The Resource Sharing server previously used a communication method developed by Hewlett-Packard. It now uses the industry standard network communication method for name registration. The NetBIOS name registration service uses the TCP/IP protocol to provide a mechanism for a server to register its existence on the network and for a client to find potential servers. Some Resource Sharing and network configuration changes may be required. If you need additional information on network configuration, refer to: * HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide * Microsoft LAN Manager User's Guide for MS DOS After installing Resource Sharing, check the following items before starting the network: * PDSERVER To use the NetBIOS name service, Resource Sharing requires at least one reserved PDSERVER. PDSERVER is Resource Sharing's Print/Disk Server. One default reserved PDSERVER is created during Resource Sharing's initialization. Please note that you have the option of specifying the number of reserved PDSERVERs when you start your network. Be sure to check that you are not starting your network with zero PDSERVERs, as this will override PDSERVER's initialization. If you use the following statement when starting your network, be sure n (the number of reserved PDSERVERS) is at least 1 for correct operation of Resource Sharing: NSCONTROL SERVER=PDSERVER,n * LAN Network Interface Name The RSCONF.PPC.SYS file is a new Resource Sharing configuration file. It contains this setting for the LAN network interface name (niname): LAN Network Interface = LAN1 If you are using a name other than LAN1, you must modify the RSCONF.PPC.SYS file to use that name. To check your LAN network interface name, on the HP 3000 type the following command: NETCONTROL STATUS Use an editor to make the necessary modifications to RSCONF.PPC.SYS. * Ethernet Flag To use the NetBIOS name service, the Enable Ethernet Flag must be set to Y. Use the network configuration utility, NMMGR.PUB.SYS, to set the ethernet flag. The NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS path is @NETXPORT.NI.niname. * Subnet Mask It is recommended that the PC client subnet mask match the server subnet mask. If you do not have subnet masks configured, the default values are used. Note that the subnet mask default values are determined by the IP Address class that you use. If the subnet mask on the server is the same as the PC client subnet mask, no additional changes are needed. For PC clients, check your subnet mask by entering the following command at the DOS prompt: TYPE PROTOCOL.INI For the HP 3000 server, type: NETCONTROL STATUS;NET=niname If the subnet mask on the client PC does not match the subnet mask on the server, you can do the following: On the PC You can use the ADDNAME command on your PC to add an entry into the host's file. This command lets TCP/IP users access the resources of a LAN Manager server on a different network. To use the ADDNAME command, at the DOS prompt type: ADDNAME servername ipaddress To save the information, type the command again with the SAVE option: ADDNAME servername ipaddress /SAVE _________________________________________________________________ NOTE If ADDNAME is not available, an entry may be made by editing the host's file. _________________________________________________________________ On the HP 3000 server Run the NMMGR.PUB.SYS utility to modify the subnet mask after the ethernet flag has been set. The path is @NETXPORT.NI.niname.PROTOCOL.IP. * Neighbor Gateways A neighbor, or default, gateway should be configured if you have clients on different networks who are connected, but who are separated by gateway routers. To add or modify neighbor gateways, you can use the NMMGR NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS path @NETXPORT.NI.niname. Your Resource Sharing installation is now complete. Return to the release installation instructions to complete the installation, then complete the following steps. Starting the Network To start the network, type: :NETCONTROL START;NET=LOOP :NETCONTROL START;NET=niname :NSCONTROL START Where to Go Next Your Resource Sharing installation is complete. Now you must configure the PC and servers environments. To do this.. Refer to this manual -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
