DDFA File Directories and Setup

DDFA is automatically installed along with Internet Services when your system receives HP-UX 10.0. There are four basic steps to setting up DDFA on your system:

Use the installation/update utility on your system to install HP-UX and Internet Services. Refer to the Installing and Updating HP-UX, HP-UX System Administration Tasks, andInstalling and Administering Internet Services manuals. After installing HP-UX, the following DDFA filesets must be on your system:
- INETSVCS-DTC for DDFA
  /usr/sbin/dpp
  /usr/sbin/ocd
  /usr/sbin/ocdebug
  /usr/examples/ddfa/dp
  /usr/examples/ddfa/pcf
- INETSVCS-RUN for Telnet Port Identification
  /usr/lbin/telnetd
  Only telnetd is modified for Telnet Port Identification.
- INETSVCS-MAN for DDFA References
  /usr/share/man/man1m/dpp.1m
  /usr/share/man/man1m/ocd.1m
  /usr/share/man/man1m/ocdebug.1m
  /usr/share/man/man4/dp.4
  /usr/share/man/man4/pcf.4
  /usr/share/man/man7/ddfa.7
Refer to the above manuals for information on installation and migration from releases prior to 10.0.
If updating to HP-UX 10.0, update the location of older DDFA device files. DDFA now supports the HP-UX 10.0 file layout conventions, as well as having pseudonym (pty) device files in a special directory called /dev/telnet. A migration script (/usr/contrib/bin/ddfa_device_mig) has been provided to facilitate the movement of device files to this special directory.
Configure the dedicated port (dp) files of DDFA. See Chapter 3, Configuring DDFA Connections and Chapter 4, Defining and Executing DDFA Parameters.
Configure the board and ports of the DTC(s). The DTC must be configured and downloaded before actually making a connection. Refer to your DTC manual. If another terminal server is used, then configure it according to manufacturer's instructions, in conjunction with step 3 above.

The important point is that the DTC or other terminal server has certain parameters which must be configured to match with the corresponding ones in the system DDFA configuration. These must be downloaded before a connection is actually made.

Note that in releases prior to HP-UX 10.0, the Internet Services were called ARPA Services. The DDFA filesets used at that time were called ARPA-AUX, ARPA-RUN, and ARPA-AUX-MAN. Later they were relocated to reflect changes to Internet Services as well as the operating system's ATT System V.4 compliance.
