HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Configuring the Availability Manager Base Software Optional

NOTE: Do not attempt to explicitly remove CDSA from your system. The PRODUCT REMOVE command is not supported for CDSA although there appears to be an option to remove CDSA. CDSA is installed with the operating system and is tightly bound with it. Attempts to remove it might not work as expected and can create undesirable side effects. An attempt to remove it results in a message similar to the following:

%PCSI-E-HRDREF, product HP I64VMS CDSA V2.3 is referenced by HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.3-1H1

The two products listed above are tightly bound by a software dependency. If you override the recommendation to terminate the operation, the referenced product will be removed, but the referencing product will have an unsatisfied software dependency and may no longer function correctly. Please review the referencing product’s documentation on requirements.

Answer YES to the following question to terminate the PRODUCT command. However, if you are sure you want to remove the referenced product then answer NO to continue the operation.

Terminating is strongly recommended. Do you want to terminate? [YES]

For more information about CDSA, see HP Open Source Security for OpenVMS, Volume 1: Common Data Security Architecture.

7.8.2 Configuring the Availability Manager Base Software (Optional)

The Availability Manager base kit is installed automatically with the operating system. However, use of Availability Manager is not required. If you do not plan to use Availability Manager or any products that depend on it, skip to the next section.

The files in the Availability Manager base kit make up what is called the Data Collector. The Data Collector is used to collect data for the Availability Manager and DECamds products. To display the data, you need to install an Availability Manager Data Analyzer kit on an OpenVMS or Windows-based node in the local LAN. The kit is included in the OpenVMS upgrade media, or you can obtain it from the following website:

http://www.hp.com/products/openvms/availabilitymanager

The base kit files are the same files that have been provided with the OpenVMS installation kit since Version 7.2. The only change for OpenVMS Version 8.2 and higher is that these files are now installed as a required product rather than being an optional software product in the operating system kit. Procedures for configuring and using these files remain unchanged.

For more information about how to configure and use the files in the Availability Manager base kit, see the section "Performing Postinstallation Tasks" in the Availability Manager installation instructions for OpenVMS (HP Availability Manager Installation Instructions).
