To allow clients that are configured for WINS support to use an Advanced Server alias name to connect to a clustered Advanced Server across a WAN, you must add to the WINS database a static multihomed entry for the Advanced Server alias name.

When adding the static multihomed entry for the Advanced Server alias name, you should enter the TCP/IP address of each node in the OpenVMS Cluster that is running the Advanced Server.

For more information about adding static entries to the WINS database, refer to your WINS product documentation.

You can configure the Advanced Server as a DNS client. This allows the Advanced Server to use a DNS server for NetBIOS name resolution. The Advanced Server uses DNS for name resolution as a last resort if all other methods fail to resolve a NetBIOS name.

For more information on how to use the Configuration Manager to configure the Advanced Server to use DNS, refer to the Compaq Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Administrator's Guide.

This chapter describes how to remove Advanced Server for OpenVMS software from your system.

If you have to reinstall the Advanced Server for OpenVMS software, you might first need to remove the Advanced Server for OpenVMS software.

For example, if the Installation Verification Procedure indicated that the software installation procedure failed, you must reinstall the software. But first you might need to remove the Advanced Server software.

• If the system has enough free disk space, you can install the server again without removing the Advanced Server.
• If the system does not have enough disk space, you must remove the Advanced Server before reinstalling it.

For more information about disk space requirements, see Section 1.8.9, Step 9: Check Disk Space Requirements.

This chapter consists of the following sections:

• Section 7.1, Advanced Server Deinstallation
• Section 7.2, Removing Advanced Server Configuration Parameters
• Section 7.3, Removing Advanced Server for OpenVMS Software
• Section 7.4, Sample Advanced Server Removal Procedure

You remove the Advanced Server using the PRODUCT REMOVE command. The removal procedure performs the following operations:

• Shuts down the server automatically.
• Prompts you to enter information necessary to complete the removal procedure.
• Attempts to start the OpenVMS Registry Server if registry services are not available.
• Removes all Advanced Server for OpenVMS images, support files, and logical names that are created during the installation procedure.
• Prompts you whether to remove all Advanced Server data files from the system. If you respond YES, it deletes the data files as well as all known Advanced Server keys and values in the OpenVMS Registry. If you respond NO, it creates a file that contains a list of all Advanced Server parameters that were in the OpenVMS Registry before removing the server software.
• Removes the Advanced Server user accounts if you delete the data files.
• Prompts you whether you want to remove clean up tools that are provided with the Advanced Server. These tools include PWRK$FIXACE and PWRK$DELETEACE. For more information about these tools, refer to the Compaq Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Administrator's Guide.
• Prompts you whether you want to save the NETBIOS image SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]NETBIOS.EXE (if it was installed) so that you can restore it if necessary. For example, you might discover later that it is needed by another product. (Older versions of the Advanced Server for OpenVMS and PATHWORKS for OpenVMS require the NETBIOS image.) Depending on your response to this prompt, the procedure saves or deletes several other related files. The saved files are stored in SYS$COMMON:[SYSUPD.PWRK$SAFETY].
• Removes the NETBIOS$ACCESS OpenVMS identifier, unless you choose to save the NETBIOS image.
• Removes Advanced Server DECnet objects, unless you choose to save the NETBIOS image.
• Deassigns all Advanced Server logical names.
• Removes any old Advanced Server files from SYS$SPECIFIC, such as patches, that might have been copied there.

When you remove the Advanced Server data files, the removal procedure will remove the server configuration parameters that are stored as values, and their keys, from the OpenVMS Registry.

To complete this operation, the removal procedure:

• Requires that registry services be available on the system. The Registry Server must be running on the system or in the cluster, and the registry database must be available on the system. If registry services are not available, the removal procedure will attempt to start the Registry Server. Registry services must be enabled on the system to run the Registry Server. For more information about ensuring that registry services are available, refer to the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual or the OpenVMS Connectivity Developer's Guide (included in the OpenVMS Documentation CD-ROM).
• Invokes the PWRK$REGUTL parameter management utility (described in the Compaq Advanced Server for OpenVMS Server Administrator's Guide).

To start the removal procedure and remove Advanced Server for OpenVMS software:

1. Ensure that you are logged in to the SYSTEM account.
2. Ensure that no processes are running the Advanced Server ADMINISTER command-line interface.
3. Start the removal command procedure, as follows:

   $ PRODUCT REMOVE ADVANCEDSERVER

Table 7-1, PRODUCT REMOVE Prompts, tells you how to respond to the prompts that the removal procedure displays.

7.3.1 Server Configuration Parameters in the OpenVMS Registry

When you are prompted whether to delete the Advanced Server data files:

• If you respond YES, in addition to deleting the data files (the Advanced Server directory structure and associated files created during installation), the procedure deletes all known Advanced Server keys and values from the OpenVMS Registry.
• If you respond NO, the procedure creates the following file:
  PWRK$LANMAN:SYS$REGISTRY.LIS
  This file contains a list of all Advanced Server parameters that were in the OpenVMS Registry before removing the Advanced Server. Once the Advanced Server product is removed, PWRK$REGUTL is no longer available for managing Registry parameters. To remove the Advanced Server parameters left in the OpenVMS Registry, use the OpenVMS Registry Control Program (REG$CP.EXE). See the PWRK$LANMAN:SYS$REGISTRY.LIS file to determine which keys and values are to be removed.

This is a sample of the removal procedure for Advanced Server software.

All required privileges are currently enabled. 4. No PATHWORKS or Advanced Server images are running on this node or anywhere in the cluster. 5. No files from a PATHWORKS (NetWare) kit are present on this system disk. 6. No files from any Pathworks or Advanced Server kit are in SYS$SPECIFIC on this system disk. This procedure checks if the conditions are satisfied. If they are satisfied, the procedure continues. If not, the procedure stops. Do you want to continue? [YES] [Return] Select one of the numbered options: 1 Install the complete Advanced Server [default] 2 Install only the License Server 3 Install only the external authentication images 4 Install both the License Server and the external authentication images Option: [1] [Return] This node contains a PWRK$STREAMSOS_V*.EXE execlet from a previous kit loaded into memory. A node that will not run this product does not have to be rebooted. A node that did not run a previous version of this product does not have to be rebooted. Only nodes that ran a previous version and will run the new version must be rebooted. Depending on the existing configuration and the desired configuration of a node it might be necessary to reboot a node before it can be configured, after it has been configured, or both. Both is rare. For complete information about the reasons a reboot might be necessary and how to avoid unnecessary reboots, see the Installation and Configuration Guide. Select an option: 1. Delay reboot as long as possible on all nodes. [default] 2. Prevent PWRK$CONFIG configuration on any node using this system disk until after reboot. 3. Prevent PWRK$CONFIG configuration on all nodes until after reboot. 4. Prevent startup on any node using this system disk until after reboot. 5. Prevent startup on all nodes until after reboot. Option: [1] [Return] User Accounts and User Identification Codes (UICs) -------------------------------------------------- The Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS installation creates two OpenVMS accounts: a default account, PWRK$DEFAULT, and a guest account, PWRK$GUEST. The default UIC group number for both these new accounts depends on the following: o If you are installing the server for the first time, the default is the first unused UIC group number, starting with 360. o If a PCFS$ACCOUNT already exists, the default is the UIC group number associated with PCFS$ACCOUNT. o If a PWRK$DEFAULT or PWRK$GUEST account already exists, the default is the UIC group number associated with PWRK$DEFAULT or PWRK$GUEST, in preference to PCFS$ACCOUNT. However, the default UIC group number will not be used to change the UIC of any existing accounts. For more information about UIC group numbers, see the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

B.2 Sample Advanced Server Configuration Procedure

The following example shows a sample configuration dialog for the Advanced Server.

$ @SYS$UPDATE:PWRK$CONFIG Advanced Server V7.3 for OpenVMS Configuration Procedure The Advanced Server stores and accesses the following types of data files: o Configuration parameter files o License Server data files o Log files o Printer spool files o Virtual memory section files You can specify any existing OpenVMS disk device that has at least 85,000 free blocks of disk space to store these data files. Note: The server frequently accesses the data files stored on the disk. If these files are stored on the system disk, it can degrade the performance of both the OpenVMS system and the server. Therefore, Compaq recommends that you specify a disk other than the system disk. Press RETURN to continue: If this OpenVMS cluster has multiple system disks, make sure that all nodes on which you plan to run the Advanced Server: o Use the same disk device to store and access Advanced Server data files. o Share the same SYSUAF.DAT file. In each system disk's startup file, define a system logical name that points all nodes to the shared SYSUAF.DAT file. For example: $ define/system/exec sysuaf pencil$dka300:[sys0.sysexe]sysuaf.dat The startup file is called SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM Enter disk device name where the Advanced Server data files will be stored [SYS$SYSDEVICE:]: [Return] Creating Advanced Server directory tree on PWROOT:...
