Released: January 28, 1998

Subject: Manual installation instructions for Accelar Management Software

Product: Accelar Management Software version 1.01 (all Unix platforms)

Description: The "Installing the Accelar 1000 Series Chassis" manual contains several textual errors. In addition, the install_accelar_dmvm script and readme.txt file found on the Accelar Series 1000 Software 1.0 (Windows 95/NT, Solaris, and HP-UX) CD in the dm-unix directory contain textual and technical errors that will prevent the Accelar Management Software (Unix) from loading correctly.

Discussion: A corrected version of the installation script can be found on the following World Wide Web Page:

http://support.baynetworks.com/software/routingswitches/accelar_1000.html

If you do not have Internet Access or are unable to obtain this corrected file, you may install the Accelar Management Software manually. To properly install the Accelar Management Software, please use the following to replace the "Installing Accelar Management Software" section on page in the "Installing the Accelar 1000 Series Chassis" manual.

Installing Accelar Management Software (Unix)

To install Accelar management software:

1. Insert the Accelar Series 1000 Software 1.0 (Windows 95/NT, Solaris, and HP-UX) CD into the CD-ROM drive.

2. Log in as the root user or su to root and mount the CD onto the /cdrom directory. If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, please refer to the Systemâs Administration guide specific to your Operating System.

3a. For Solaris systems, change directory to /cdrom/cdrom0/dm-unix.

3b. For HP-UX systems, change directory to /cdrom/DM-UNIX.

4a For Solaris systems, copy the software into /tmp with the following command:

# cp dm_v101_tar.z /tmp/dm_v101_tar.Z

Note that the suffix needs to be changed from ".z" to ".Z" (lower-case Îzâ to upper-case ÎZâ)

4b For HP-UX systems, copy the software into /tmp with the following command:

# cp "DM_ V101_TAR.Z;1" /tmp/dm_v101_tar.Z

5. Change directory into the directory where you wish the Accelar management software to be installed. The software will automatically be loaded into a subdirectory called "dm_v101". For example, if you wished to install the software into the /opt/dm_v101 directory, change directory to /opt.

6. Uncompress and untar the software with the following command:

# zcat /tmp/dm_v101_tar.Z | tar xvf ö

7. Once installed, change directory into the dm_v101 directory and execute:

# ./standalone_setup

8. After installation, each Accelar software userâs environment must be set correctly. Assuming you installed the software into the /opt/dm_v101 directory, set the DMPATH variable using one of the following instructions:

a. If you use the C-shell, add the following to your .cshrc:

% setenv DMPATH /opt/dm_v101

b. If you use the Bourne shell or Korn shell, add the following to your .profile:

$ DMPATH=/opt/dm_v101; export DMPATH

If you installed into a different directory, substitute the directory where you installed the software for /opt/dm_v101. After modifying the appropriate file, you must source the file for the changes to take effect.

Other Notes:

On page 12, in Table 3, HP-UX 10.2 should be listed as a supported Operating System.

On page 13, in the "Integrating Accelar Management Software into HP OpenView", the command to start Device Manager in step 1 should be dm and not DM.

On page 13, in Table 4, the first command should read ovw-fields instead of pvw-fields.
