PMDF Installation Guide
Tru64 UNIX Edition
PMDF-INST-DUX-60

• If you have previously installed PMDF-TLS, you must shutdown the PMDF detached processes that use PMDF-TLS before attempting to reinstall or upgrade PMDF-TLS. Issue the command:

  # pmdf shutdown dispatcher
  

  
  
• If you have previously installed PMDF-TLS, you must first deinstall PMDF-TLS before attempting to reinstall or upgrade PMDF-TLS. To deinstall PMDF-TLS, see Section 1.8 .
  
  The following discussion outlines the steps in the PMDF installation procedure. Refer to Chapter 4 for a sample installation dialogue.
• Installation of PMDF-TLS should be done by superuser. If you are not logged in as root, do so now.
  
• If this is your initial PMDF-TLS installation, load the appropriate license PAK using the License Management Facility, lmf. You need a PAK for PMDF-TLS-OSF. Note that PMDF-TLS CAN only be licensed and installed on a system already licensed and configured for PMDF-MTA or PMDF-ACCESS. If you already have existing PAKs, you should check to make sure that they are valid for this release. Use the command

  # lmf list full for PMDF-TLS-OSF
  

  to check the release date of the existing PAK, and make sure that the date displayed is later than the release date of the new version of PMDF-TLS that you wish to install.¹ New PAKs are issued when your maintenance contract is renewed, not when new versions of software are released. If you have received new PAKs at your renewal time, you should register the new PAKs. First delete the old PAKs; then register and load the new PAKs. For example, if you received a new PMDF-TLS-OSF PAK, then the following commands would start up an editor with which to edit the license information in the License Database:

  # lmf delete PMDF-TLS-OSF
  # lmf register
  

  After registering all the new information on your license PAKs, you must then load the PAKs. You may either load any required PAK individually, e.g.,

  # lmf load 0 PMDF-TLS-OSF
  

  or you can instead load all PAKs at once by issuing the command

  # lmf reset
  

  
  
• Begin the installation procedure by invoking the setld command procedure as shown below.

  # cd /
  # setld -l location
  

  where location specifies the location of the PMDF subsets. To stop the installation procedure at any time, use Ctrl/C. Note, however, that if the installation procedure is terminated forcibly via Ctrl/C, then any files created by the installation up to the point where Ctrl/C was pressed will not be deleted, and therefore you must delete any such files manually.
  
• After setld is invoked, it will ask you to select the subset to install:

  The subsets listed below are optional: 
   
       There may be more optional subsets than can be presented on a single 
       screen. If this is the case, you can choose subsets screen by screen 
       or all at once on the last screen. All of the choices you make will 
       be collected for your confirmation before any subsets are installed. 
   
       1) PMDF V6.0-21 TLS Product                                                
   
  Or you may choose one of the following options: 
   
       2) ALL of the above 
       3) CANCEL selections and redisplay menus 
       4) EXIT without installing any subsets 
   
  Enter your choices or press RETURN to redisplay menus. 
   
  Choices (for example, 1 2 4-6): 
  

  At this last prompt, you should enter the number 1. After you enter your selection, a confirmation message will be displayed. Enter y followed by RETURN if the selection is correct. Otherwise, enter n followed by RETURN; in this case the subset selection menu will again be displayed, and you may correct your choice of subsets.
  
• After you confirm your selection of subsets, the installation procedure will continue with no further questions, displaying informational messages as it progresses. Please note that such informational messages regarding "configuring" the PMDF-TLS subset refer solely to the installation process; the configuration of PMDF-TLS itself is a separate function entirely, which remains to be performed as presented in the PMDF System Manager's Guide .
  
• If this is an upgrade of PMDF-TLS, you should now startup the Dispatcher (previously shutdown before beginning the upgrade) to begin using the PMDF-TLS version. Issue the command:

  # pmdf startup dispatcher

  Note

  ¹ PMDF license PAKs, and in particular PMDF-TLS license PAKs, do not use a termination date; they instead use a release date. The release date merely prevents you from running newer versions of PMDF released after your maintenance contract has expired. The PAKs do not prevent your current versions of PMDF from running after your maintenance contract has expired. This is intentional.
