Set Up the DECnet Phase IV Object and a User Account

To provide access to Real-time reporting through a privileged account:

• Create an account with the necessary privileges on the node to be monitored.
• Define the DECnet object.

This account must have the necessary privileges and quotas in the user authorization file (UAF) to enable the Performance Agent process to be run successfully. These are the same privileges and quotas as defined for the main Performance Agent.

The following commands are an example of how you can create a privileged account, perform the following procedures:

1. Set your default directory to SYS$SYSTEM and run the Authorize Utility (AUTHORIZE).

   $ SET DEF SYS$SYSTEM
   $ RUN AUTHORIZE
   

2. Add a user record to the system UAF and corresponding identifiers to the rights database with the following command:

   UAF> ADD PSDC$SERVER /DIR=[PSDC$SERVER] /DEV=device_name -
   _UAF> /DEFPRIV=(CMKRNL, SYSNAM, GRPNAM, IMPERSONATE, PSWAPM, -
   _UAF> ALTPRI, TMPMBX, WORLD, EXQUOTA, NETMBX, SYSLCK) -
   _UAF> /PRIV=(CMKRNL, SYSNAM, GRPNAM, IMPERSONATE, PSWAPM, -
   _UAF> ALTPRI, TMPMBX, WORLD, EXQUOTA, NETMBX, SYSLCK) -
   _UAF> /UIC=[xx,yy] /FLAGS=(RESTRICTED,NODISUSER)/LGICMD=_NL: -
   _UAF> /NOPWDEXPIRED /PASS= password -
   _UAF> /WSQUO=2048 /WSEXTENT=16000 /PGFLQUO=50000 -
   _UAF> /NETWORK/NOBATCH/NOINTERACTIVE
   UAF> EXIT
   $ CREATE/DIR device_name:[PSDC$SERVER] /OWNER_UIC=[xx,yy]
   

   In the preceding example, you must substitute real values in place of device name and xx,yy, the UIC.

3. You must add a DECnet task, PSDC$SERVER, associated with object 0. Enter the command as follows:

   $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:NCP
   NCP> DEFINE OBJECT PSDC$SERVER NUMBER 0 FILE SYS$SYSTEM:-
   PSDC$SERVER.COM USER PSDC$SERVER PASSWORD <password>
   

   The password must match the password in the UAF entry for PSDC$SERVER.

   NCP> SET OBJECT PSDC$SERVER ALL
   

   To display information about the DECNET object, enter the following command:

   NCP> SHOW OBJECT PSDC$SERVER CHARACTERISTICS
   NCP> EXIT
