Solaris
A host running SUN Solaris 7.0 (or later) as its operating system.
SPARC
A host running a SUN SPARC processor as its primary CPU.
TCP/IP or Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol port
The Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol port(s) each host controls. Each invocation is assigned a specific TCP/IP port to use.
User Account
User account refers to the access a person receives when logging into ConsoleWorks. A user's access to a console port and to ConsoleWorks management is defined by what profiles the user is given permission to use.
♦note: Users may have access to more than one profiles, but may only use one profile at a time.
VMS
A host running Compaq OpenVMS V7.2 (or later) as its operating system
Web Browser
Commonly used Web Browsers such as Netscape Navigator 4.7 or Internet Explorer 5.0 (or later) web browsers are required to complete the configuration of the installed elements.
Window
Window refers to a particular Window or Splash Screen displayed during a step in the installation. Screen, Window and Display are used interchangeably in this guide.
2-4. Installation Concepts
The following describe the relationships between some of the functional components used by ConsoleWorks. Understanding the following concepts will:
•assist in designing an installation,
•prepare the installer for the installation and configuration processes, and
•reduce the need for large scale configuration changes and installation redesigns after installation.
Installation Phases
The period prior to Installation where the installer collects required software and verifies the host system meets the requirements for ConsoleWorks installation and operation.
Installation |
|
ConsoleWorks on | Invocation setup files |
drive | on drive |
invoked copy of ConsoleWorks in host's memory | |
This phase includes the steps involving installing the ConsoleWorks application on the target host, setting up a basic invocation, add- ing ConsoleWorks to the system startup and selectively adding pre- packaged event definitions.
ConsoleWorks invocations are highly configurable. During the in- stallation phase the installer is presented opportunities to edit files that will be used globally by each invocation, such as event tem- plate files. Most of these changes can also be made later.
