These utilities work in clusters whether the disk is on a local controller,
an HSC, MSCP served, or LAVC-style MSCP served.
The Fragmentation Cost Analysis and the Fragmentation Analysis Utility are
designed for any Digital-supported configuration.
1.7 Installation Overview
__________________________
The entire procedure for getting the Fragmentation Cost Analysis and
Fragmentation Analysis Utility up and running on your system consists of the
following:
o Do a full BACKUP of the system disk. This is a standard precau-
tion recommended by Digital whenever using VMSINSTAL.
o Install the Fragmentation Cost Analysis and Fragmentation
Analysis Utility using VMSINSTAL. See Section 1.8.
o Define symbols to invoke the Fragmentation Analysis Utility and
the Fragmentation Cost Analysis. See Sections 1.10 and 1.11.
1.8 Installation Procedure
___________________________
The Fragmentation Cost Analysis and the Fragmentation Analysis Utility are
distributed together on the same media. Both utilities are intended to be
installed in the same directory. During the installation procedure, you are
allowed to specify the device and directory locations for the two utilities.
By default, they are installed at SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ESI_FAU]
Step 1:
Log into the OpenVMS system manager's account (username SYSTEM, UIC [1,4])
and give your process the OPER and SETPRV privileges. This ensures that you
will have access to the files and images needed for the installation and
that files created during the installation will be created properly.
The device name DUA0 is used as an example in this dialog. During
installation, the physical name of SYS$SYSDEVICE for your system will appear
in place of DUA0 shown in the dialog below.

Step 2:
Set the default disk directory to SYS$UPDATE:
$ SET DEFAULT SYS$UPDATE
Step 3:
Execute the VMSINSTAL command procedure defining the product being
installed, followed by the input device name (CD ROM drive DKB500: in this
example).
$ @VMSINSTAL FAU DKB500:[ESI.UTILITIES.FRAG_ANALYSIS.V11.KIT]
VMSINSTAL will begin by displaying some information about the state of your
system, such as whether DECnet[TM] is running, then ask whether you want
to continue. Respond with YES only if the information displayed is as
expected.
Note: It is not necessary to shut down DECnet or log off users to install
the Fragmentation Analysis Utility.
* Do you want to continue anyway [NO]? YES
Step 4:
Next, VMSINSTAL will ask whether you are satisfied with the backup of your
system disk. While every precaution has been taken to prevent adverse
side-effects during installation of our product, Digital and Executive
Software recommend having a current full backup of your system disk when
installing any new software.
* Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? YES
Step 5:
There will be a period of a few minutes of processing. Read all messages and
answer any questions asked. Normally, the installation proceeds like this:
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED,FAU mounted on DKB500:
The following products will be processed:
FAU V1.1
Beginning installation of FAU V1.1 at 14:36
%VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product save set A...
* Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]? YES
Step 6:
A temporary directory is created; product saveset A is restored; and the
copyright notice is displayed.
Press <Return> when prompted to do so.

Step 7:
Next, you are given the opportunity to specify the device and directory
where the Fragmentation Cost Analysis and the Fragmentation Analysis Utility
will be installed. Press <Return> to accept the default, or answer NO at the
following prompt:
* OK to install FAU at SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ESI_FAU] [YES]? YES
If you answer NO, you will be prompted to enter the device and directory
where you want the Fragmentation Cost Analysis and Fragmentation Analysis
Utility files to reside.
Step 8:
There will be another period of a few minutes of processing. Watch for
errors or any other messages, such as:
FAU will be installed at SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ESI_FAU]
%VMSINSTAL-I-SYSDIR, This product creates system disk directory DUA0:[ESI_FAU].
Copying files, please wait...
All files copied and secured
%VMSINSTAL-I-MOVEFILES, Files will now be moved to their target directories...
Installation of FAU completed at 14:37
VMSINSTAL procedure done at 14:37
Step 9:
Since VMSINSTAL modifies your process environment, you should log out and
back on to your system after this installation is complete.
1.9 Fragmentation Cost Analysis and Fragmentation Analysis Utility Kit Files
_____________________________________________________________________________
After installation, the Fragmentation Cost Analysis and Fragmentation
Analysis Utility files reside in SYS$SYSDEVICE:[ESI_FAU] if the default
directory was accepted at installation time. This directory specification
will differ if you specified an alternate directory location for the
Fragmentation Cost Analysis and Fragmentation Analysis Utility files. The
files installed are shown in Table 1-2.

1.10 Defining a Symbol for the Fragmentation Analysis Utility
______________________________________________________________
For ease of use, define the following symbol in the system-wide login
procedure or the individual login procedures of the users needing access to
the Fragmentation Analysis Utility:
$ FAU == "$ device:[directory]FRAG_ANALYSIS_xxx.EXE"
where device:[directory] is the device and directory where the Fragmentation
Analysis Utility executable image was installed during the installation
procedure. Note that the "xxx" portion of the image name is either AXP or
VAX, depending upon your computer platform.
Once this has been done, run the Fragmentation Analysis Utility using a
command of this form:
$ FAU disk_name /qualifiers
If the disk name is omitted, the Fragmentation Analysis Utility will prompt
for the disk name. Only one disk can be specified at a time. The
optional qualifiers represent Fragmentation Analysis Utility qualifiers, as
shown in the Fragmentation Analysis Utility User's Guide.
1.11 Defining a Symbol for the Fragmentation Cost Analysis
___________________________________________________________
For ease of use, define the following symbol in the system-wide login
procedure or the individual login procedures of the users needing access to
the Fragmentation Cost Analysis:
$ FCA == "@device:[directory]FCA.COM"
where device:[directory] is the device and directory where the FCA.COM
command procedure was installed during the installation procedure. Once the
FCA symbol has been defined, run the Fragmentation Cost Analysis by
entering this command at the DCL ($) prompt:
$ FCA
