ND-211731 A - 1 Streamer Cassette with Basic SW Package I for ND EServer.
5 Read This First¶
Rules concerning Es platform systems.
The Es platform consists of four directories:
PACK-BASIC -----> DISC-4-SCSI-1,0,0
PACK-MAIN -----> DISC-4-SCSI-1,0,1
PACK-EXTENSION -----> DISC-4-SCSI-1,0,2
PACK-APPLICATION -----> DISC-4-SCSI-1,0,3
a) PACK-BASIC contains system files and has to remain
as it is when delivered from NORSK DATA A.S.
Some few exceptions exist.
b) PACK-MAIN contains configuration files for the
system, USER-ENVIRONMENT and customer-defined
users. Available space is free for the customer to use.
c) PACK-EXTENSION contains your additional ND applications
such as NOTIS, SIBAS, TCP-IP and so on.
d) PACK-APPLICATION is reserved for the different
business units belonging to NORSK DATA and their
application packages.

6 Manual Installation Procedure¶
This procedure should be followed when a new version of the Basic System Package is to be installed.
+--------------------------------------------------+
| CAUTION! |
| |
| All software located on PACK-BASIC-A will be |
| destroyed and a new version of PACK-BASIC-A will |
| be restored from the streamer. On user SYSTEM |
| there may be files belonging to other products |
| than those listed in chapter 10 (libraries, init |
| files etc.). Backup of these files must be taken |
| before the disk is restored. |
+--------------------------------------------------+
- Preparations before stopping the ND EServer:
a) Check that the file
(MODE-FILES)DEF-PERIPHERALS:MODEcorresponds to your system before you take the system down.b) Save user files to a scratch streamer cassette using the Backup Manager:
- Insert a scratch streamer cassette into the streamer drive. - Log in as user SYSTEM and start the BACKUP-MANAGER from the ND EServer System Administrator menu option 3.0 (backup) or from SINTRAN by doing the command
@BM-OPERATOR-. - Use the backup setBACKUP-FILESto save not standard platform files to streamer. All files and users NOT listed in the file(PROG-FILES)EXCLUDE-FILES:SYMBwill be copied to the streamer cassette.When the new Basic System Package is installed, these files can be copied back to user SYSTEM on PACK-BASIC-A (ref. point 1h.).

- SIBAS-MANAGER (user-environment password)
d) Perform a controlled shutdown of the ND EServer:¶
Log in to user SYSTEM and execute the command:

The installation of the basic platform is now complete and ready to operate with a new version of the basic software.
CAUTION!
Remember to take a complete backup of the System disk PACK-BASIC-A, PACK-MAIN-SW, PACK-EXTENSION and PACK-APPLICATION (PACK-APPLICATION is optional). This is for security reasons in case of disk problems later on.
7 Errors Corrected¶
All reported errors have been corrected except those listed in section 9.
8 Errors Known But Not Corrected¶
-
SPRINT Sintran spooling system (211056A05)
- If on startup of Sprint, device numbers 1032-1039 (and maybe others) are being used, Sprint will not be able to stop the SPRT programs which have reserved these device numbers. Consequently, Sprint will not be able to use the associated printers.
-
BACKUP Manager (211226B04):
- RESTART-USER in the menu is not fully corrected. It is not possible to do this against a remote server.
- Problems with treating EOF-status as OK after 'space-EOF' function. This is a problem for non-SCSI mag-tape drives when listing volumes on more tapes.

9 Limitations¶
-
BACKUP Manager (211226 B04):
- Indexed files larger than 65000 pages cannot be copied by Backup Manager. (Contiguous files can be copied when logged in as user SYSTEM)
- When performing image copying in batch mode (for example, via BM-scheduler) you cannot copy the directory where the input and device output batch files for this job are located. (Normally the directory where user area SYSTEM and ND-OPERATIONS is located).
- You cannot copy TO a DOMINO/SCSI tape-device from a remote computer.
- Image backup from N100 disks to tape/GTS devices connected to DSS is not possible.

Command: CHANGE-PARAMETERS
These are:
CDC disks: Device settle time = 10 sec Device power up time = 90 sec GTS, STC tapes: No synchronous transfer GTS tapes: No. of retries on aborted command = 0 GTS tapes: Abort command allowed = NORemember also when defining the device GTS that the device code = 1.

When it is necessary to install SINTRAN from floppies.
In addition to the patch file
106000the file(SYSTEM)SINTRAN-PATCHES:MODEhas to be run as a mode job after the standard patch file. This file includes additional patches for SINTRAN that is NOT included in the patchfile106000.When a new SINTRAN with patches is installed do the following:
@COLD-STARTLog in and enter the main directory by typing:

Special Modification Patches (SM-patches)¶
SM-patches are patches for customers with special needs (the different SM-patches for SINTRAN vers. L is described below).
How to Implement¶
- Edit in the right patch number in the file
PF-MODIF-L:FADMon user SYSTEM - Run the mode job
(spec-modif-patc)sm-start-patch-file:mode @MODE (SPEC-MODIF-PATCH)SM-START-PATCH-FILE:MODE - Run through a SHUTDOWN procedure and do a
@COLD-START
Example of what a PF MODIF:FADM file looks like:¶

SPRINT SINTRAN Spooling System (211056A05)¶
- Sprint will not accept documents stored under NOTIS-DS. Such documents must be moved to SINTRAN if they are to be printed.
- If remote printing is to be successful, the SSYOPEN routine in the SSYLIB library requires that the local system name corresponds to the first system name defined on the remote machine.
Installation of a New Printer Driver in SPRINT¶
The following sprint drivers could be installed from the disk:
----Not handling Open Lan----
PHILIPS-300 DP-55 EPSON-MX80 EPSON-RX80 DIABLO-1650
DIABLO-1610 DIABLO-630 TEC-F10 OLIVETTI GEN-3024
EPSON-LX80 ELPHO-20 LINE-PRINTER TELEX CANON-LBP8
----Handling Open Lan----
EPSON-MX80 EPSON-RX80 EPSON-LX80
ND-616cn
ND-720PP
ND-460TTP
ND-PSCRIPT
PHILIPS-300
CANON-LBP8
LINE-PRINTER
VISION SERVER
To start the installation program, log into user SYSTEM and give the command:
@(SPRINT-USER)IN-PRM
The rest of the procedure is self-explanatory.
If a printer driver is going to be installed from a diskette, the installation program has to be started from the diskette containing the printer driver and the installation program. When you are asked where to put the new printer driver(s), the user name must be SPRINT-USER (default answer is nd-operations).

Redefining of OL-printers When You Have Installed a New Platform on Your System¶
-
From user area SYSTEM use an editor to read the file
SYMBOL-2-LIST:SYMB.- Find the text string F1731.
- Write down the value corresponding to F1731 (on most systems the address will be 070322).
-
@ABORT COSPO -
Exit the editor and type the following underlined text after the Sintran prompt:
SINTRAN-SERVICE-PROGRAM↔
*INSERT-IN-LOGICAL-UNIT-TABLE↔
LOGICAL UNIT NUMBER (OCT):23xx↔
(23xx is the sintran logical device
number in octal from S3-CONFIG)
INPUT OR OUTPUT? OUT↔
DATAFIELD ADDRESS (OCT):ffffff↔
(ffffff is the data field address from
step 1. above)
MEMORY? YES↔
IMAGE? YES↔
SAVE-AREA? YES↔
*EXIT↔
- Type the following underlined text:
@SET-PERIPHERAL-FILE "OL-<name>" <23xx>↔
(OL-name is the printer’s OpenLan name)
@SET-FILE-ACCESS OL-<name> WA RWA RWA↔
@CREATE-NEW-VERSION OL-<name>:;x,0↔
(x is the number of spooling files)
@SET-FILE-ACCESS OL-<name>:1,1,,,rwacd↔
-
Step 3. and 4. have to be done for each OL-printer on your system.

EServer System Administration Menu¶
On this platform (A01) you have the possibility to have the EServer administration menu in two languages, English or Norwegian. To change from Norwegian to English or the other way around you have to do the following:
- Log into UE-user SYSTEM
- Call the User Environment profile manager by typing
@UE-PMAN - Then you get into a menu where you are asked for user name, and there you put in SYSTEM.
- Further down in the menu you are asked for language and here you have to put in the wanted language (Norwegian or English).
- The menu system name is
(SYSTEM)ES-MENU - To get out of the menu, press the EXIT button.
Defining of Extra Swap- and Segment-Files¶
If you need more swap- or segment-files you have to update two different files:
(ND-OPERATIONS)BM-PARAMETER-B:DATA(MODE-FILES)USER-DISKS:MODE
-
@PED (ND-OPERATIONS)BM-PARAMETER-B:DATAHere you put in the following:
IMAGE-NO-COMPARE-FILE = (SWAP-USER)SWAP-FILE-<X>:SWAP for extra swap file, or IMAGE-NO-COMPARE-FILE = (SWAP-USER)SEGFIL<X>:DATA for extra segment file. (SWAP-USER) = Name of the user containing the SWAP or SEGMENT file <X> = SWAP or SEGMENT file number -
@PED (MODE-FILES)USER-DISKS:MODEAt the end of this file you put in the following:
@ND DELETE-SWAP-FILE (SWAP-USER)SWAP-FILE-<X>:SWAP DEFINE-SWAP-FILE (SWAP-USER)SWAP-FILE-<X>:SWAP EXIT
