====Configuring OpenVMS client====

I used the following documentation:

=====License=====

First enable the license on thomas.  Log into thomas as system.   Then run:

 LICENSE REGISTER UCX-IP-NFS /ISSUER=MONTAGAR /AUTHORIZATION=EDU-807977-808201 /PRODUCER=DEC /UNITS=0 /TERMINATION_DATE=1-OCT-2010 /ACTIVITY=CONSTANT=100 /CHECKSUM=2-LFIC-ENCF-IKOA-EADI

The license needs to be loaded into memory:

 lic load ucx-ip-NFS

I believe that this has to be done on every node.

NOTE: The above instructions didn't actually work.  Instead we attempted to load ALL licenses.  The first step is to convert the long list of LICENSE REGISTER commands to a VMS license file format.  Something like this should do it.  (On a system with sed.  I used OS-X.)

 sed -i .bak -f convert_license.sed license.txt

Where license.txt contains the commands looking like this:

 $ LICENSE REGISTER X500-DIRECTORY-SERVER - 
 /ISSUER=MONTAGAR - 
 /AUTHORIZATION=EDU-807977-808196 - 
 /PRODUCER=DEC - 
 /UNITS=0 - 
 /TERMINATION_DATE=1-OCT-2010  - 
 /ACTIVITY=CONSTANT=100 - 
 /CHECKSUM=2-PDFG-FFGC-OJGH-OHBM 
 $ LICENSE REGISTER VAXCLUSTER - 
 ...

and convert_license.sed has the following commands:

 s/=/ = /g
 s/ - $//g
 s/^\///g
 s/\$ LICENSE REGISTER/PRODUCT_NAME =/g
 /^PRODUCT_NAME/ i\
 \<NEXT\>

Copy license.txt over to the VMS system with FTP, then run:

 @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE REGISTER DISK1:[MICROCT]LICENSE.TXT

If everything worked, then all the licenses can be loaded with

 lic load

=====Enable NFS client=====

Enable the NFS client as follows:

 @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG

Select option 2 (Client components).  Then select 3 (NFS client).  Then 2 (Enable & Start service on this node).

This must be done on both percy and thomas.

=====Mount the NFS volume=====

As the user "system", start TCPIP with

 TCPIP

Then enter

 MOUNT DNFS1: /HOST="mike.kin.ucalgary.ca" /PATH="Data0" /UID=1027 /GID=20 /USER=microct

Make sure that UID agrees with the actual UID for the user microct on mike.kin.  Similarly GID must match the actual GID for the group staff on mike.kin .  Here /USER=microct refers to the user microct on VMS.

This must be done on both percy and thomas.
