Chapter 2

Installing SSH for OpenVMS

Introduction

This chapter takes you through the SSH for OpenVMS product installation procedure and certain post-installation tasks. It is for the OpenVMS system manager, administrator, or technician responsible for product installation.

To prepare for installation, see Chapter 1, Before You Begin.

Note! Once you have installed SSH for OpenVMS, you need to reinstall it after you have done a major VMS upgrade.

To install SSH for OpenVMS:

1 Load the software.

2 Run the VMSINSTAL procedure.

3 Install other products, if needed, and perform post-installation tasks.

Load the Software

SSH for OpenVMS is shipped to you on CD-ROM media.

There are three steps to loading the SSH for OpenVMS software:

1 Log in to the system manager's account.

2 If SSH for OpenVMS is currently running, shut it down:

$ SSHCTRL SHUTDOWN

If you are installing on a VMScluster, shut down SSH for OpenVMS on each node in the cluster.

3 Physically load the distribution media onto the appropriate device.

In a VMScluster environment, if you want to access the media from more than one node, enter the following:

$ MOUNT/CLUSTER/SYSTEM device MULTINET044

On a standalone system, or if you want to prevent multiple users from accessing the software, enter the following:

$ MOUNT device MULTINET044

Note! If you install SSH for OpenVMS on a VMS cluster that has a common system disk, install the software on only one node in the cluster. If reinstalling or upgrading SSH for OpenVMS, first shut down SSH for OpenVMS on all nodes in the cluster.

Be sure to configure SSH for OpenVMS on all systems in a VMS cluster that has a common system disk, even though it only needs to be installed once.

Start VMSINSTAL

VMSINSTAL is the VMS installation program for layered products. VMSINSTAL prompts you for any information it needs. Table 2-1 shows the steps to follow.

5

Enter the installation options you wish to use (such as obtaining the Release Notes)

Return for no options or N for Release Notes.

6

Specify the directory where you want the files installed.

Return if accepting default of SYS$SYSDEVICE:[MULTINET]

7

Specify the directory where you want the system-specific files installed

Return if accepting default of [<nodename>];e.g, [ROSES]

8

Specify that you are performing an SSH for OpenVMS installation.

Enter "Y" to install SSH for VMS.

Installing SSH for OpenVMS on a Common VMScluster System Disk

After installing SSH for OpenVMS on one node of a VMScluster with a common system disk, you must perform the following steps on each additional cluster node that shares the common system disk:

1 Log in (telnet/set host/etc.) to the next node of the cluster.

2 Create the MULTINET logicals by using the following command:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:PSCSSH$STARTUP LOGICALS

3 Make the node-specific SSH root and configure SSH for this node:
$ @MULTINET:SSH_MAKE_ROOT

4 Start SSH for OpenVMS:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:PSCSSH$STARTUP

5 Repeat steps 1-4 for each remaining node of the cluster except for the one where SSH was originally installed.

Installing SSH for OpenVMS on Mixed Platform Clusters

SSH for OpenVMS has no files which can be shared between cluster systems of different architectures.
