I am trying to install DECmcc/BMS T1.3 on a DS5000/125 Ultrix 4.3
system. In the past, I have installed both 1.2 and 1.2.3. setld - i
indicates that both these are installed.
I have 'untared' the mcrbmst130.tar file into a directory to produce
all the MCRxxxT130 subsets and assorted control files, but the only
subsets I can get to successfully load are the releasenotes and manual
pages. When I try the dictionary or BMS kits, setld says
This system already has DECmcc BMS [or Dictionary] already loaded.
DECmcc for Ultrix installation terminated.
and the DNA5 subset won't load because:-
The DECmcc BMS system or DECmcc Director T130 must be installed
before loading DECnet/OSI. (Which is not suprising!)
I suspect it is confusing previous versions of BMS/Dictionary with T130.
Have I missed something in the release notes? I have tried deleting
all the MCRxxxT130.* control stuff out of /etc/subsets but when I run
setld again it all gets put back without installing the software.
Setld itself lists BMS130 and Dictionary130 but doesn't have installed
next to them. The lines are blank. Should I delete the MCRxxxV12x
stuff? I would rather it didn't overwrite my MIR database etc which is
why I have not rushed to do this. I have loaded the T130 PAK.
Any thoughts?

| 4196.1 | Must delete old kits | TOOK::MINTZ | Erik Mintz | Fri Dec 04 1992 11:20 | 15 |
Unfortunately, due to the time it would have taken to update the dictionary, T1.3 is NOT an upgrade kit. It is a re-install. On ULTRIX, that means you must de-install all previous versions of DECmcc before installing the new field test kit. You must also remove the old V1.2 licenses. This information was omitted from the original kit announcement, but is now in note 3.205. Deinstalling the kit should not disturb your existing repositories. However, the dictionary will be replaced. I would not suggest directly manipulating the files in /usr/etc/subsets unless you are very sure of what you are doing. | |||||
| 4196.2 | Thanks - and - reset DNS to MIR? | BAHTAT::BOND | Mon Dec 07 1992 07:59 | 13 | |
Thanks Erik, I should have read the second note more carefully! I read
the bit about the BMS_PAK account (having tripped over that one) but
didn't see the bit about deleting the previous subsets. A final
question now: Is there a way to reconfigure DECmcc/BMS or is it
easiest to delete it and re-install it? One of my customers has DECmcc
1.2 installed using DNS. He now wants to go back to local MIR. I know
he can do it by making sure every user runs up mcc_login.csh and
setting DNS_SELECTION to MIR rather than DNS but is there anyway to
make this change 'further back' in DECmcc? Like just run the config
part of DECmcc in setld so it goes through the questions again? Or is
the only answer to delete it and re-instal?

| 4196.3 | Just edit the script mcc_login.csh | TRM::KWAK | Wed Dec 09 1992 17:00 | 11 | |
RE: .2
YOu're correct on using Local MIR instead of DNS.
In order to switch back to Local MIR, you can edit
/usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_login.csh and change "setenv MCC_DNS_SELECTION
DNS" to "setenv MCC_DNS_SELECTION MIR".
And every MCC user has to execute the script file.
