LOADING UNIX SVR4 03.02.01

INTRODUCTION
This FECO lists the general details of how to load Unix SVR4 version 03.02.01 onto a new system.

NOTE
Throughout this FECO a space in a string is shown by a Ñ .
All other spaces are purely cosmetic.

UPGRADES
On an existing system for an upgrade from a previous version of Unix SVR4, the CSS is to evaluate the system to be upgraded and produced a detailed Project Plan. This plan is to be fully evaluated by Technical Services and approved and is the controlling document for the upgrade.

Under no circumstances should an upgrade be commenced if you do not have a copy of the Project Plan. If, during your pre-upgrade evaluations, you feel the Project Plan is incomplete or could cause the upgrade to fail, you are to contact Technical Services at Milton Keynes immediately. This set of instructions should be used in conjunction with the Project Plan.

NB

DO NOT COMMENCE ANY UPGRADE UNLESS THERE ARE TWO COMPLETE AND VERIFIED SAVES. THIS IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY.

LOAD OF UNIX SVR4 03.02.01 (for S20 &4300 start here for other systems goto para xx )

S20 & 4300 LOAD

The S20 & 4300 require a DOS partition to be created first, before the OS load.
Insert only the CD-ROM into the machine, no floppies.
Boot from the CD ROM
This CD will switch Disk C to Disk D, then load Disk C (the CD-ROM) onto the hard disk.
Install Partition execute and create a 75MB DOS partition, then reboot by <CR>
Followed by another <CR> when prompted.
The partition will now be formed
Files will be copied from the CD-ROM into this DOS partition.
When complete remove the CD-ROM
Reboot the system, and when prompted for a password enter ESC and not <CR>

Remember that with the S20 & 4300 systems which load from a CD-ROM that a licence floppy will be required. Other systems with a tape do not require this licence floppy as it is already on the tape
End of S20 & 4300 DOS partition creation

LOAD OF UNIX SVR4

To perform the load of Unix SVR4 version 03.02.01:-

Insert the CD-ROM into the CD drive. Boot the system.

It will boot from the CD and load a basic kernel.

Whichever boot media is utilised it will eventually display the startup menu.

Select the option 1 to ‘Perform an Installation’.

At the sub-menu select the option 1 to ‘Perform an Interactive Installation’.

When prompted enter the system name in lower case. For an existing system this was obtained by entering in root uname Ñ -a previously.

When prompted confirm the date and time or modify it as applicable.

You may be asked if you wish to load the maintenance or patch tape. On some systems the O/S may say that installing the patch or maintenance tape is mandatory.

If the system offers the option to install the maintenance tape as a part of the base load select Yes.

If there is only one disk drive in the system, then this will be selected as the
default root drive.
If there is more than one disk drive, then depending on the class of the machine, the system may list the available options and prompt for input.
For existing systems refer to the on site document and to the print out of /etc/vfstab to identify the root drive.
Enter the relevant options.
If there is more than one drive in the system, the system will ask if you wish to specify a secondary drive.
Enter the option for no secondary drive.

WARNING

Configuring a secondary drive may force a complete reload later.

The system will examine the root drive and if previously formatted will report that it appears to be
formatted and ask if you wish to reformat it.

Enter N <CR>

The system will execute the fdisk utility.

Display the current partition table, then select the update and exit option.

On systems loaded from a CD-ROM, this is the point to relicence. Insert the licence floppy disk and select option 1 licence from flex.

The system will display the packages available for installation.

For existing systems refer to the on-site document and the pkginfo listing.

Select the same package set for installation.

Note NCRM is now replaced by the package odm
DEC21040 is replaced by enetpci

Once all the packages have been selected then take the save and exit option.

The system will display the root default slice table.

This table is shown in megabytes and is intelligent. If you increase or decrease the size of a slice then it modifies other affected slices for you.

The information recorded in the ‘on-site’ document or returned by prtvtoc will be in 512byte blocks.

To convert from megabytes to blocks :-

megabytes x 2048 = blocks
i.e. 100MB x 2048 = 204800 blocks

To convert from blocks to megabytes :-

Blks 2048 i.e. 204800 = 100MB

2048

If an existing system which is being upgraded is a single drive system, then use the same slice
sizes as is recorded in the on-site document or returned by prtvtoc.

If the system is a multi drive system with a drive dedicated to root, then create slices with the following sizes :-

Slice No Description Size

0             Whole Disk
1             /root                 250MB
2             /swap               2 x memory
3             /usr                  200MB
4             /var                   200MB
5
6             /dump               if configured, 2 x memory
7             boot
8                                      250
a             STAND              40 (usually)

NB If there is less than 256MB RAM installed, then swap defaults to
2 x memory. If there is 256MB or more the swap defaults to 1 x memory.

Ensure that you check the size of the swap before proceeding.

The CSS may have specified special slice sizing for a specific
reason. Slice sizing specified in the Project Plan supersedes the above.

The DTC package on the core tape is for MCA based host adapters.

In addition to the above, there should be two additional slices allocated which will be :-

/unispooler for UniVision systems

OR /charspooler for Charisma systems

/unistore for Charisma systems

/unispooler is to be 100MB in size
/unistore is to be 400MB in size
/charspooler is to be the size of free space on the root drive if root
is a separate drive or as specified in the Project Plan for all other configurations.
Once you have finished slicing the root drive, then take the save and exit option.

The system will now create the vxfs file system specified above and then load the packages selected above.

Reboot the system back to the login prompt

TUNING
Before modifying the the tunable parameters copy the existing parameters to preserve them.
Enter cp Ñ /etc/conf/cf.d/stune Ñ /etc/conf/cf.d/stune.old <CR>
To display the mtune table Enter pg Ñ /etc/conf/cf.d/mtune
The Table displays the Name, Default, Min, & Max

To display the stune table Enter pg Ñ /etc/conf/cf.d/stune
To set any stune parameter higher than the mtune maximum, then the mtune will have to be set higher first.
Tuning Parameters

UFSNINODE             = 500
MAXUP                     = 250 + 2 x number of processes
NPROC                     = to the above + 10%
STRTHRESH             = to 25% of RAM

SDATLIM**              = 0 x 7FFFFFFF
SVMMLIM**              = 0 x 7FFFFFFF
VX_NINODE              = 4500
NCALL                      = 500

NOTE All the above ** parameters may not be displayed, if they are not displayed then they are not tunable.

To increase any parameter
Enter /etc/conf/bin/idtune Ñ -m Ñ [PARAMETER] Ñ [new value]

To decrease any parameter use vi
Enter vi Ñ /etc/conf/cf.d/stune and change the parameter

To Add the VX_NINODE Enter: /etc/conf/bin/idtune Ñ -m Ñ VX_NINODE Ñ 5000

Rebuild a new kernel Enter:- /etc/conf/bin/idbuild <CR>
Reboot the system Enter shutdown Ñ -y Ñ -g0 Ñ -i6 <CR>

DISABLE AUTOBAUDING
by editing the ttydefs
On the system console login to root
Enter # ls Ñ -l Ñ /etc/ttydefs <CR>
The system will display –r—r—r—This means the ttydefs are set to read only
Enter # chmod Ñ 666 Ñ /etc/ttydefs <CR>

# ls Ñ -l Ñ /etc/ttydefs <CR> The systems will display –rw-rw-rw
This means that the ttydefs are set to read and write.
To modify the fall back baud rate, modify the the ttylabels contained within ttydefs.
Enter # vi Ñ /etc/ttydefs The system will display the ttydefs
Enter ESC The system will display a colon at the bottom of the screen.
Enter /19200NP <CR> The system will display the relevant part of the ttydefs with the cursor set at the first occurrence of 19200NP.
For cursor movement use the following:-               lower case L for left
                                                                        lower case R for right
                                                                        lower case J for down
                                                                        lower case K for up
Move the cursor to the 9 of the 9600NP, then enter upper case R, putting the editor into replacement mode until ESC is entered. Enter 19200NP ESC
Move the cursor down the screen to the ttydef which starts with :9600NP
Move the cursor to the 4 of the 4800NP, then enter upper case R, putting the editor into replacement mode. Enter 9600NP ESC
To exit from vi enter ESC
The system will display : at the bottom of the screen.
Enter wq <CR>
If you have made a mistake and wish to exit vi without saving any changes then enter ESC Ñ : Ñ q!
To test that auto baud has been disabled perform the following:
Exit Unix to the login prompt
Press BREAK <CR> (or CTRL/BREAK)
The Unix login should be displayed., if not then contact O.S.Support for assistance.

ENABLE ROOT LOGIN ON ALL DISPLAYS
Login to root
Enter #cd Ñ /etc/default <CR>
Enter # vi Ñ login
Arrow down to Console, enter I for insert mode, then # Ñ ESC :
At : enter wq <CR>

PROBLEM PREVENTION
Some I/O devices require the insertion of clocal after cread into ttydefs to prevent
problems
On the system console login to root
Enter # vi Ñ /etc/ttydefs The system will display the ttydefs
Enter ESC The system will display a colon at the bottom of the screen.
Enter /19200 <CR> The system will display the relevant part of the ttydefs with the cursor
set at the first occurrence of 19200NP.
Move the cursor to after cread then enter i for Insert Mode and
enter clocal Ñ ESC Ñ : Ñ wq
Repeat as necessary.

ADDITIONAL PACKAGES
Install any additional packages from other tapes or media.
Pkgadd UK Keyboard

Cpio PTS any I/O requirements and Disk Array

Plus any other requirements

For existing systems once all packages have been loaded, then compare a pkginfo |pg with
the listing produced earlierl and ensure all packages or their equivalent have been loaded.

ROOT MIRRORING
If root mirroring is to be configured, then it should be configured now.

Vxfs is now the default filesystem for O/S 03.02, therefore systems previously using Volume
Manager must have it replaced with Disk Array Plus. This limitation only applies to root
mirroring.
See Disk Array information for how to do this.

FILESYSTEMS
Use sysadm to create filesystems on the second disk (data drive).
Enter root <CR>
Enter # sysadm
Select storage devices
Select device config
On the other disk if you cant see it, it may not have an active Unix partition.
Slice the drive, use all the free space
Create file system
Area contains file is usually Slice No 1
File Type = vxfs
Label = uni1
Name when mount = /unistore1
Pass No = 1
Block size 1020 change to 8192
Enter mount to show the disk
Enter pg Ñ /etc/vfstab to show the disk in more detail
Mount unispooler on the first (root) disk and then later create a symbolic link between the two
disks.

UNIVISION LOAD
Univision media can be available on floppy disks or on CD-ROM.
For floppy load enter pkgadd Ñ -d Ñ diskette1

For CD-ROM load first it must be mounted.
Enter mount Ñ -F Ñ cdfs Ñ -o Ñ ro Ñ /dev/cdrom/cdrom1 Ñ /mnt
Then enter pkgadd Ñ -d Ñ /mnt/ncr
For both media the Univision install path is /Unistore1/UniV
The password is <CR>
Then at the end rebuild the kernel and reboot the system.
When the system comes back up again open the virtual manager by entering in root vtl mgr
Then enter Univision on the console, doing this will update the UV files.
To remove the CD-ROM it must be unmounted Enter umount Ñ /mnt

I/O PACKAGE LOAD
This is for I/O8+ or RIO to add the package from floppy disk enter pkgadd Ñ -d Ñ diskette1
Follow prompts to load and configure.
For I/O8+ use i01 with a lower case i and without a p afterwards.
Once loaded you need to add Port Services.
In root enter sysadm
then select Port Services
set 9600 (e.g. for i01 to i16) modify this to 9600NP
i01 set to 9600NP add as PortService

PRINTERS
If a port is already setup in UniVision before it can become a printer port the sequence is:-
Remove from UV Setup, remove port from Unix
Add printer in Unix, add printer in UV setup

Applications UV Ports/Printers. Add the printers first. (eg printer on 2 VDU on 1 & 3-16)
ptr name UV(printername) (e.g. Uvptr1)
evice name /dev/term/io2
Then add port              Start          1          3
                  Last port        1          16
                  tty label     9600NP 9600NP
Go to UV setup

To add a printer to a VDU port
Ensure everyone is off the system, ports at login
In Uvsetup remove the process use D to delete the process number.
Remove the Port Service sysadm port port service
Application Univision Addptr
/dev/lp this is the parallel printer on the back of the system
Go into UV to add ptr

RCP FOR PRINTERS
A modified interface script must be created for each printer
In root enter cd Ñ /usr/lib/lp/model
FOR UNIVISION SYSTEMS FOR CHARISMA SYSTEMS
cp Ñ UVstandard Ñ UVstand.org cp Ñ UVstandard Ñ UVstand.org
For each printer a unique interface script must be created these will be called:-
Uvstandard1 standard1
Uvstandard2 standard2
Each interface file has to have the following changes made
vi Ñ UvstandardX vi Ñ standardX
Where X is the unique file number.
Find the line:- 0<$ {file} eval $FILTER 2>&1 1>&3
Replace this line with rcp $ {file} [mts name]:mts_p[port] 2>&1 1>&3
Where [mts name] is the name of the mts in the /etc/hostfile and [port] is the physical port
number.
E.g. ptr LP01 is connected onto a terminal server named as mts2 onto port 1
rcp $ {file}[mts2:mts_p1 2>&1 1>&3
Device Files
Each printer to be connected to a terminal server must have its own file in the /dev directory.

This has to be /dev/nullX where x isa number.
As a default there is only 1 /dev/null
To create additional files cd Ñ /dev
ls Ñ -l Ñ | Ñ grep Ñ null
Make a note of the major and minor numbers
Then enter
cd Ñ / mknod Ñ /nullX Ñ [major number] Ñ [minor number]
Where X is the unique file number
Repeat as required
Then enter chmod Ñ 666 Ñ null*
chgup Ñ -sys Ñ -dev/null
ADD A PRINTER ON MTS
Set up a VDU for 9600 N 8 & VT100 connected to the mts.
On the VDU login as admin
MTS set line term type VT100
MTS SCR Main Menu Line Config Line Settings 9600 dumb soft 8N
