MPE Server Setup Guide

Step 1- Install the Software

The SETUP program should be used to automatically create or update the DISC308 and restore the OMNIDEX software and support programs:

For DISCvrr, substitute DISC for a production installation, or DISCvrr for an update installation, where vrr represents the version and release level (DISC308, for example)

CD Installation

The MPE directory on the software CD has the STORE file needed to begin the SETUP procedure on the HP 3000. It will be necessary to use FTP to do a binary put to upload the required software similar to the below command sequence which was performed at the DOS prompt of the PC with the CD drive:

ftp hp3000name
username: manager.sys1
password: password
binary
put x:\MPEIX_Server\odx30802 odx30802.PUB.SYS;code=2501;rec=128,,f,binary

(where x is the name of the CD drive on your computer)

bye

When you logon as MANAGER.SYS1, do the below 'file' and 'restore' commands. Afterwards proceed with the normal installation instructions in this guide.

:FILE DISCTAPE=odx30802.PUB.SYS;DEV=DISC
:RESTORE *DISCTAPE;SETUP@.PUB.DISC@;LOCAL;SHOW

Proceed to Run SETUP.

Tape Installation

This section explains how to restore the software from a tape. The SETUP program should be used to automatically create or update the DISC308 and restore the OMNIDEX software and support programs:

Sign on as MANAGER.SYS. :

HELLO MANAGER.SYS,PUB

Mount the enclosed media on the appropriate device.

Restore the SETUP program file, as well as the SETUPAUX help and message file, to

PUB.SYS:
FILE T;DEV=tape
RESTORE *T;SETUP@.PUB.DISC@;LOCAL;SHOW

In the above FILE command, tape is the device number or device class of the tape storage device at your site. A tape request prompt may appear on the console. Answer the prompt to restore the SETUP files.

Remount the storage medium to online; as it will be needed again.

Proceed to Run SETUP.
