2 Installing NonStop RPM
This section provides an explanation of the steps required to install and run RPM on your
system(s). Please read the other sections before fully deploying RPM in your environment.
RPM configuration and installation are greatly simplified through the use of the RPM wizard
named RPMWIZ. Once you become a proficient RPM user, you will not need the wizard to run
RPM, but you will always benefit from the RPM Wizard to create config files and install RPM.
To configure, install, update, and run RPM follow the steps shown below:
1. Install RPM files onto your NonStop server(s). This requires either loading the RPM CD
and/or copying RPM files to the system in question. Then running the RPM Wizard
RPMWIZ. Use IP Setup to place the RPM files from the CD directly into the RPM
installation subvolumes ($SYSTEM.SYSTEM and the RPM ISV) or to place the files for
DSM/SCM, then use DSM/SCM to install the RPM files into the installation subvolumes if
you wish to do so.
2. Volume to the RPM ISV then run the RPM wizard from TACL as shown below:
TACL 1 > VOLUME
TACL 2 > RUN RPMWIZ
2.1 Wizard - Example
Below is an example of RPMWIZ interaction for CONFIG, USE, INSTALL, and RUN commands.
$DATA MYSUB 1> VOLUME $DATA.R0877V01
$DATA RPMV1 2> RUN RPMWIZ

== RPMWIZ - RPM wizard is used to configure, install, and update RPM files.
== To install RPM for the first time, enter CONFIG, then SAVE, then INSTALL.
== To update an existing RPM with new object files, enter USE, then INSTALL.
==
== * CONFIG/USE - Creates/Uses RPM device configuration files. If you choose
== CONFIG the wizard interviews you and based your answers creates TTY,
== VT100, T6530 device config files for RPM, RPMVT, and RPM65 objects.
== If you choose USE the wizard uses your existing configuration files.
==
== * INSTALL - For new install enter CONFIG and SAVE commands for each device
== type you'll use with RPM. To update RPM enter USE to reuse existing RPM
== configuration. Then to install/update RPM on $SYSTEM.SYSTEM enter the
== INSTALL command. Once RPM is installed you can enter CONFIG and SAVE
== commands to create new configuration files.
==
== NOTES: Defaults are bracketed. For example 10, 20, [100]? (100 is default)
== CTL-Y escapes a prompt, and continues to next-level in RPMWIZ.
