AB 150/1 INFORMATION RELEASE
LOADING SCO OPEN SERVER
Background
The EDP Group of Companies is now supplying SCO OPEN SERVER version 5.xx.
SCO OPEN SERVER comes in two basic variants :-
SCO OPEN SERVER HOST SYSTEM (Basic 5 User licence)
This product is designed for Host centric configurations which do not incorporate any networking capabilities.
SCO OPEN SERVER ENTERPRISE SYSTEM (Basic 5 User licence)
This product includes all the features of the Host system and several networking tools :-
IPX/SPX, SCO Gateway for Netware
TCP/IP, NFS and LAN Manager Client
In addition, the following Licences and Products are available :-
- SCO User licences for 10, 25, 100, 1000 or 5000 Users
- SCO SMP licence for Symmetrical Multiprocessing
- SCO Virtual Disk Manager
There are other licences/products available, but are not applicable to our environment.
Note
For full UniVision support, SCO OPEN SERVER ENTERPRISE system must be installed.
A typical "SCO Media Box" will contain :-
- SCO boot diskette version 5.xx
- CDROM containing SCO OPEN SERVER
- Licence certificate(s)
Licence certificates are supplied to enable various software features to be loaded or enabled.
The following will be required to perform a base load :-
Licence Number :-A unique number identifying each SCO product
Licence Code :-A licence code which activates the product
Licence Data :-Additional licence data needed to activate some products.
This field is not always present on the Certificate of Licence and Authenticity and is not required for licencing in all cases.
Note
Once SCO OPEN SERVER has been installed, or if additional licences are installed, warning messages are periodically displayed requesting that you register the product with SCO.
Each time SCO is installed a unique ID is generated and is used to identify that installation.
If the system is re-installed using the base media set, then it must be re-registered.
The SCO Registration Centre will supply a Registration key for each licence installed. Once these have been "keyed in", the warning messages are disabled.
As an image of the installed Operating System is created as a part of this load procedure, the above should not become an issue except during an upgrade to the Operating System.
Production will be responsible for providing Registration keys.
Installing SCO OPEN SERVER HOST/ENTERPRISE SYSTEM Base
Insert the SCO OPEN SERVER boot diskette into the floppy drive and boot the system from this floppy.
At the "Boot:" prompt enter (CR)
Note
If it ever became necessary to install boot time loaders, then these would be loaded here. Additional information will be released if this becomes necessary.
The system will test to see what hardware is installed and if any hardware errors can be detected. You will see letters ranging from D to M displayed. See the appendix headed "Kernel Initialization Letters" for an explanation.
The system will prompt you to specify your installation media type. In all cases this will be the cdrom. The SCSI ID will be recorded in the "On-Site Document".
To display a list of options press the space bar.
The system will prompt for the keyboard type. Use the space bar to display the options and select UK English with standard English as the language.
The system will prompt for the Licence Number and Authenticity Code.

From the displayed options highlight Licence Manager using the arrow keys and enter (CR)
Use the tab key to move into the product listing area.
Select SCO Open Server (CR)
Press tab to access the top menu bar
Select Licence from the top menu bar
Select the appropriate options from the pull down menu bar and enter the licencing information as appropriate.
When licencing activities are completed then tab to the menu bar and exit from the utility.
Note
Some licences force re-tuning to take place.
Tuning a SCO Open Server System
The following parameters require tuning on a SCO Open Server System regardless of whether it is to support UniVision or Charisma :-
NCALL128
MAXUP50 + 2 x number of Users
NPROC50 + 2 x number of Users + 10%
The above parameters can be added to the stune table by entering:-
#/etc/conf/bin/idtune -m [parameters] [value] (CR)
Once all parameters have been tuned, then rebuild the kernel by entering :-
#/etc/conf/bin/idbuild (CR)
The system will prompt :
Do you wish the kernel to boot by default?
Enter 'Y'
The system will prompt :
Do you want the kernel environment rebuilt?
Enter 'Y'
Note 1
Answering 'Y' to the first question causes SCO to copy the existing kernel to Unix.old and to install the new kernel as Unix.
Answering 'Y' to the second question will make any necessary changes to /etc/inittab and to the device node files.
To cause the changes to have effect, reboot the system.
Configuring Tapes and Disks
Once the system load is completed and the system is tuned, then additional disks and any tape units must be manually added. SCO Unix does not configure them automatically.
To Configure Additional Disk Drives and Create Filing System
Prior to configuring additional disk drives you should make a note of :-
BUS ID to which the SCSI is installed
SCSI host adapter ID
SCSI ID of the disk drive
LUN (always 0)
At the root # prompt enter :
#mkdev hd (CR)
Select option 2 to add a SCSI drive to a SCSI controller.
The system will prompt for the SCSI controller device driver.
Typically this will be 'alad'. (default)
The system will prompt :
Which alad SCSI adapter supports this device? 0 or 1
Refer to the information recorded at the beginning of this section.
The system will prompt :
What SCSI bus is this device attached to?
Refer to the information recorded at the beginning of the section.
The system will prompt :
LUN?
Enter 0 (CR)
The system will prompt :
Update SCSI configuration Y/N
Enter Y (CR)
The system will prompt :
Relink kernel Y/N
Enter Y if you have added all additional drives or N if you wish to add more.
Once the kernel has been relinked reboot the system.
The above actions add the SCSI drive to the device tables. To install and set up the drive divisions :-
#mkdev hd (CR)
Repeat the above to identify the drive to be prepared. This time instead of prompting to relink the kernel the system will invoke fdisk.
From the fdisk menu select option 2 to partition the entire disk to be used by Unix.
Then select option 5 to make the partition the active partition.
Then exit from fdisk.
The system will now invoke badtrk.
badtrk reserves a table for bad SCSI logical blocks to be recorded. It does not allow you to scan the disk for defects. To scan for defects you must invoke badtrk from the command line.
Exit from badtrk without invoking any of its options.
The system will now invoke divvy.
Refer to the section which describes divvy at the beginning of this document.
If this is a UniVision system then modify the division sizes so that you create one division which is the size of the drive.
If this is a Charisma system and this is the only data drive or the last data drive then create one division which is 300MB in size and a second division which is the size of the remaining free space.
Note
All filing systems will be HTFS. The maximum filing system size for HTFS is 512GB.
Set 'type' to be HTFS, set new FS to NO and calculate the first and last blocks accordingly. (Note 1 block = 1KB).
For a UniVision system use uni1, 2, 3 etc as the name.
For a Charisma system use char1, 2, 3 etc as the name.
Name the 300MB division 'chart'.
Note
The name is used to reference the division, i.e. /dev/uni1 or /dev/char1.
Once the division information is entered then enter q to quit followed by i to install.
Note
Division 6 is reserved for use by FSCK.
To create filing systems on newly created divisions at # enter :
#mkdev fs (CR)
Select the option to Add a New Filing system to system (CR)
Enter the division onto which you wish to create the filing system
i.e. :
/dev/uni1 or /dev/char1
You will be prompted to enter a mount point, (directory name).
For Charisma systems use /charisma1, 2, 3 etc.
For the test division use /chartest.
For a UniVision system use /unistore1, 2, 3 etc.
The system will prompt to know whether the filing system should be mounted when entering multiuser mode.
Enter 1. Always mount [name] (CR)
The system will prompt Do you want to allow User to mount this filing system?
Enter Y (CR)
Note
This is essential otherwise Charisma's SAVEFILES will fail as it mounts and unmounts filing systems.
To create and mount the filing system enter (CR)
Repeat to divide additional drives and to make and mount filing systems.
Once all drives have been installed, divided and have filing systems mounted then enter df (CR) and ensure that all filing systems are correctly mounted and are of the correct size.
To configure a tape drive
At the root # prompt enter :
#mkdev tape (CR)
Select configure a SCSI tape from the displayed options.
Select to Install a SCSI tape drive.
Enter the SCSI Adapter device drive (for example alad) (this will be the default). Enter the device ID of the SCSI host adapter. Enter the SCSI ID of the tape unit. Enter the LUN of the tape unit; always 0.
When prompted to modify the vendor specific ID string accept the defaults.
When prompted select the appropriate tape type from the displayed list.
The system will prompt for you to modify the default boot string setting for the tape drive. Accept the defaults.
Once the tape configuration is completed then relink the kernel and reboot.
Test the tape drive for proper functionality.
Configuring the parallel printer port and com 1/2 ports
Note
Some products such as the Smartmon require ports to be configured differently from the instructions below.
If installing such products then refer to the Information Release associated with these products.
To configure com 1 & 2
At the root # prompt enter :-
#mkdev serial (CR)
Select i to install a new serial board (CR)
Select 1 for a standard tty device (CR)
Select 1 for a port card (CR)
Select 1 or 2 to configure com 1 or 2 as appropriate (CR)
Select 1 or 2 for IBM - com 1 or 2 as appropriate (CR)
Select ? (CR) for choices (CR)
Select the appropriate tty label (CR)
Note
The installation of additional I/O controllers is documented in the Information Release issued for specific devices.
If all devices are installed then relink the kernel and reboot the system.
Test the com ports as appropriate.
To configure a parallel port
At the root # prompt enter :-
#mkdev parallel (CR)
Select add a parallel port (CR)
Select parallel port address 378 - 37RF (CR)
Select the default interrupt - Interrupt 7 (CR)
If no other devices are to be configured then relink the kernel, reboot and test the parallel port.
To modify /etc/gettydefs file tp prevent autobauding
The gettydefs file is the equivalent of the ttydefs file in NCR SVR4. It defines the ports characteristics.
Typical entries are shown below :-
n # B2400 HUPCL # B2400 CS8 SANE HUPCL
TAB 3 ECHOE IXANY #\r\n@!login # m
m # B4800 HUPCL # B4800 CS8 SANE HUPCL
TAB 3 ECHOE IXANY \r\n@!login # n
The getty process that causes login to be displayed can cycle through the entries in the gettydefs file moving from one baud rate to the next.
The label for each entry is shown at the left hand side of the entry. In the examples above this is 'n' and 'm'.
The label that will be tried next is shown at the extreme right hand side of the entry.
In the example above if the getty is unsuccessful with label m it will autobaud to label n and if it is unsuccessful with label n it will autobaud to label m.
To prevent this label at both ends of each gettydef entry must be the same.
These should already be correctly configured, but, if they are not, use vi to modify them as required.
To install a Network Card
Login to root (CR)
#custom (CR) (enters Software Manager in scoadmin)
Insert the network driver diskette into the floppy drive or load from the cdrom.

Editing System Files for Terminal Configuration
Until recently SCO Charisma systems did not make use of 'qterm' to identify terminal emulation. Instead entries were made in the /etc/ttytype file for each port configured onto the system.
Network processes cannot make use of the file as it is not possible to tie a network process to a specific driver. Therefore all SCO systems shipped as of the release of this document will use qterm to identify terminal types as they log into Charisma.
For completeness however instructions on how to configure the ttytype file are included.
The ttytype file
File is in location /etc/ttytype
Using the vi editor terminal types should be entered for tty1A, tty2A and ttya??.
Termcap entries for bml used terminals are :-
tlwWyse 120 in vt100 mode
tlTexas Instruments 924
xlTexas Instruments 928
t9Texas Instruments 931
vt220BML MC5C (link terminal in vt220-7
mode)
See FILE EXAMPLES for example of ttytype file.
The /etc/inittab file
The /etc/inittab file contains entries for all serial ports. It is used to assign a device driver and gettydefs label to each port. Examples of an inittab entry is shown below :-
ao1:23:off:/etc/getty tty1a m
ao2:234:respawn:/etc/getty tty2a m
The first example is for device tty1a.
The 'off' statement says it is disabled and the 'm' statement corresponds with the label 'm' in the /etc/gettydefs.
This port will never display a login prompt.
To enable this device enter :-
#enable tty1a (CR)
This will alter off to 'respawn' and create a 'getty' process which will cause login to be displayed.
The second example shows an entry for device tty2a which is enabled for use with a gettydefs label of m.
Examples of gettydefs label are :-
i 1200bds
k 2400bds
m 9600bds
n19200bds
To check that a getty is running on a port enter :-
#ps -t ttyname (CR)
If any changes are made to the /etc/inittab file using the editor then a corresponding change must be made to /etc/conf/init.d/sio.
The reason being that each time the kernel is relinked so the /etc/inittab file is recreated from /etc/conf/init.d/sio.
Once all devices have been added to the inittab file, then ensure they are enabled by displaying the inittab file. If any entries need to be enabled then enter :-
#enable [ttyname] (CR)
Creating a User

bm1 .profile
Unix uses .profile files to initialize variables either on a system wide basis or on a user basis.
In Charisma the file / charisma1/bm1/.profile is executed as users login to bm1 from the Unix login prompt.
Variables used by Charisma are defined in this file which are then "exported" so that Unix processes can use lookup tables to find out what device a variable, (label), represents or where to go to find a particular set of code or data.
For example You have seen that Charisma uses printer labels of LP01, LP02, etc. Using the Unix spooler does not require any further action. However, Charisma has a direct print feature, which most users seem to want to use, which allows print jobs to be outputted without having to use SPOOL feature.
So that Charisma can issue the various commands to Unix to enable jobs to output "directly", it is necessary to define that LP01 is actually a device with the link file /dev/LP01.
The .profile which is shipped with all SCO/Charisma configurations includes entries which :
(1)Define the emulation for the system console
(2)Turn on the console virtual terminal manager
Whilst Users should not use the console to execute Charisma applications, if they do it is useful to still be able to access Unix from the console.
(3)Use the response from qterm to automatically set up the correct emulation for each terminal in the system.
(4)Set up the paths for IQ & Ufax.
(5)Set up the User licence for Charisma.
(6)Configure the default tape device for savefiles, etc.
Configure the default printer to print out savefiles information.
(7)Set up the Cobol environment.
(8)Define printers.
(9)Identify where the various Charisma directories are.
(10)Define ULIMIT as 4000,000. This controls the maximum file size that can be opened by a BML User.
Most of these parameters will never need modification.
The next section identifies those parameters which are "site specific" and must be modified if the system is undergoing installation. A typical .profile is included at the end of this section.
Before altering .profile you should copy it, as fallback should things go wrong.
login as bm1, (password bm18000)
Enter
cp .profile .profile.date (CR)
Where date is todays date
To access .profile
login as bm1, (passport bm18000)
To display the .profile enter
pg .profile (CR)
To edit the .profile enter
vi .profile (CR)
To print the .profile enter
lp -d [printername] .profile (CR)
1.User Licence
This is controlled by an entry in the .profile
Note Well
This is company confidential information. If licences are increased without proper authorisation, or if Users are advised on how to illegally increase their Charisma licence, then EDP Group Employees involved may be subjected to disciplianry action.
Identify the line
if test 'who bm1 wc-1' -gt xx
xx will be a number which is the maximum number of concurrent bm1 Users allowed to be logged in. This is the licence that the User purchases.
xx is to be modified to the exact number of Charisma Users that the User has purchased. This is defined on the RFS which is raised from the Customer's order.
Customer Service Supervisors are to ensure that Installation
Engineers are properly briefed on what the value should be.
2.Savefiles Variables
To edit in the default savefiles tape device and printer, find the section headed -
#-------------------savefiles variables
If necessary, replace the tape device name with the correct tape device name.
If necessary, replace the printer label with the printer label of the printer the User wishes to use for savefiles information.
