Installing RAID Manager on OpenVMS systems
Installation prerequisites
• A user account for RAID Manager must have the same privileges as
“SYSTEM” (that is, it must be able to use the SCSI class driver and
Mailbox driver directly). Some OpenVMS system administrators may
not allow RAID Manager to run from the system account. In this case,
create another account on the system, such as “RMadmin” that has the
same privileges as “SYSTEM.”
• RAID Manager uses the Mailbox driver for communication between
RAID Manager components. So, the RAID Manager command
processor and RM daemon (called HORCM) must have the same
privileges.
If the RAID Manager command processor and HORCM execute with
different privileges, then the RAID Manager command processor will
hang or be unable to attach to the daemon.
• RAID Manager also requires that the logical name sys$posix_root
exist on the system. Therefore, you must define sys$posix_root before
installing RAID Manager.
It is recommended that you define the following in LOGIN.COM
before RM installation:
$ DEFINE/TRANSLATION=(CONCEALED,TERMINAL)
SYS$POSIX_ROOT "Device:[directory]"
$ DEFINE DCL$PATH SYS$POSIX_ROOT:[horcm.usr.bin],
SYS$POSIX_ROOT:[horcm.etc]
$ DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY
LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX LNM$GROUP
$ DEFINE DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE ENABLE
$ SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED
In the above defines, Device:[directory] is the SYS$POSIX_ROOT.
