Prior to performing an installation or upgrade you should have received a PMDF distribution kit containing the distribution media and any necessary license Product Authorization Keys (PAKs). You can install any PMDF layered product even if you do not currently have a PAK for it: you just won't be able to use that layered product until you have registered and loaded the proper PAK.
1.1.1 Distribution media
PMDF for Tru64 UNIX (Digital UNIX) is distributed on a single CD-ROM
that contains Tru64 UNIX, OpenVMS, NT, and Solaris distributions of
PMDF and all PMDF layered products, other than PMDF-TLS. In particular,
the distribution includes the complete PMDF for Tru64 UNIX product
family (except PMDF-TLS): PMDF-MTA, PMDF-ACCESS, PMDF-DIRSYNC,
PMDF-LAN, PMDF-MB400, PMDF-MSGSTORE, PMDF-POPSTORE, PMDF-X400, and
PMDF-XGS. The CD-ROM is an ISO 9660 with Rockridge extensions CD-ROM,
readable from many different platforms.
Prior to installation, the CD-ROM should be inserted into a CD-ROM drive accessible to the system and mounted as follows:
# cd / # mount -t cdfs -o noversion,rrip file-system directorywhere
file-system is the drive of the CD-ROM
device, and directory is the location in the file
tree at which to attach the newly mounted file-system. For example, if
your CD-ROM device is located on the rz4c disk and you
wish to place the PMDF distribution files under /mnt , you
would issue the commands:
# cd / # mount -t cdfs -o noversion,rrip /dev/rz4c /mnt
Note that the PMDF for Tru64 UNIX subsets reside under the directory
/OSF1-Alpha/PMDF600. Thus the example above would result
in the subsets being present under /mnt/OSF1-Alpha/PMDF600.
The PMDF on-line documentation resides on the PMDF distribution CD-ROM
under the directory /documentation, or optionally may be
installed to disk during the PMDF installation.
Once mounted, use the setld installation procedure as
presented in Section 1.4 . Or, if you move the PMDF product subsets to
disk, you can install PMDF from that on-disk copy similarly, specifying
as the location argument to setld the path to the subsets'
directory.
1.1.2 Disk space required
The disk space requirements for PMDF are listed in Table 1-1 .
| Subset Name | Kbytes Required |
|---|---|
PMDFBASE
|
51000 |
PMDFDOC
|
27000 |
PMDFDIRSYNC
|
4400 |
PMDFLAN
|
4300 |
PMDFMB400
|
1000 |
PMDFX400
|
4700 |
PMDFXGS
|
500 |
PMDFBASE subset includes both PMDF-MTA and
PMDF-ACCESS; this is the subset you should install regardless of which
one of the two you will actually be using.
These disk space requirements apply to the partition on which you load
the PMDF subsets. You can use the df command to check
total space and free space for the directories in which you wish to
have PMDF reside.
1.1.3 Supported Tru64 UNIX versions
Tru64 UNIX V4.0D is the minimum Tru64 UNIX version on which PMDF V6.0
is supported.
