Subj: 	questions regarding DECodeII Server Installation

Hi Tina,

Our group (Digital UNIX Documentation in ZKO3) recently got new Alpha servers and 
we are trying to install the ODE Server.  I am following the DECodeII Server 
Installation instructions from the following web site:

	http://www.zso.dec.com/ode/ODE-Docs.html

I was told (by admin and confirmed with Josh Friedman) to install only the 
Kerberos Client.  I did that; there were no errors.  However, when I return to 
step 11 (Install Kerberos), the following instructions do not make sense to me:

"You will have to make a Principal name of "kxct" with an "instance" of your 
server's unqualified nodename. Unqualified in this case means the left most 
portion. Copy the "srvtab" to "/etc/srvtab" and make it world readable." 

These instructions seem to apply to a Kerberos Master.  Our systems are not set 
up to be a Kerberos Master.  Do I still need to do these tasks?

Suggestion:  It would also be helpful here if the questions asked by the script 
were available in the documentation.  That way the person doing the installation 
could check his/her answers with someone more knowledgeable before actually 
running the script.  I called Josh Friedman, and we pretty much guessed at the 
answers.

~~~~~~

I then tried to install ODE.  Below is a script of the install and the errors I 
received.  (Here too, it would help if the questions asked by the script were 
available in the documentation.)

# /usr/sde/ode3.0/install/ode install

Specify your installation type;
Select none to de-install DECode II 3.0.
Select server only for release engineering systems and machines
serving shared sandboxes. Select client for all others.

Enter type of installation, either none, server, or client [client]: server

Which DECode II server installation do you want to do:
1     basic    - bring up ode_server and supfilesrv daemons
2     advanced - advanced mode is reserved for experienced
                 administrators to:
                 (a) choose which daemons to bring up
                 (b) set up the ode_server with metric logging

Enter either 1 or 2 [1]: 1

Specify your unqualified nodename for the ode tools server;
this will be the system that /usr/sde is mounted from, or NONE if
/usr/sde is not to be mounted by the /sbin/init.d/ode3.0 script.

Enter nodename for ode tools server, or NONE [NONE]:

Specify how you want current project pools to be mounted at startup;
an answer of yes will cause  current project pools to be mounted at startup.

Do you want an odemount done at startup?
Enter yes or no [no]: 
rm: /usr/sbin/ode_server3.0: No such file or directory
/sbin/init.d/ode3.0 start
starting ode_server3.0 with logging
/sbin/init.d/ode3.0: /usr/var/opt/DECodeII/ode3.0/ode_server3.0.log: cannot 
create
/sbin/init.d/ode3.0: /usr/var/opt/DECodeII/ode3.0/ode_server3.0.log: cannot 
create
starting supfilesrv3.0 with logging
/sbin/init.d/ode3.0: /usr/var/opt/DECodeII/ode3.0/supfilesrv3.0.log: cannot 
create
/sbin/init.d/ode3.0: /usr/var/opt/DECodeII/ode3.0/supfilesrv3.0.log: cannot 
create

Our system configuration is as follows.  We have two AlphaServer 1000s, running 
Digital UNIX V4.0A and ASE with two (eventually, three) shared disks.  We want 
the tools on one disk, books on the second, and reference pages on the third.  
All three disks are shared to both systems.  In theory, if one system goes down, 
ASE should be able to fail over to the other system.  I am aware that users will 
have to reinitialize their Kerberos tickets, but they will still have access to 
the tools so they can get a new Kerberos ticket and keep on working.

We followed Josh's instructions for suppping the /usr/sde tools to the system 
first and then setting up a cron job to sup the tools on a regular basis.  His 
instructions are at the following web site:

	http://nsa.zk3.dec.com/rengweb/procedures/setup/Tools_SUP_setup

The DECodeII Server Installation instructions said nothing about creating a 
/usr/var/opt/DECodeII/ode3.0 directory.  It doesn't seem like ode3.0 or 
supfilesrv3.0 are running.  Would you please help us sort this out?

Special thanks to Jo Fujii for explaining what I needed to do to fix the problem, 
Mark Angel for getting new srvtab files for our new systems, and to Josh Friedman 
for explaining a way correct the ode_install.

>>> It all works !!! <<<

Thanks very much for your help!,
