   SUPFINDER User's Guide V1.0    November 1990  Operating System: VMS V5.0  Software Version: SUPFINDER V1.0  I This guide describes the menu driven on-line SUPFINDER tool which allows  I the System Manager access to data stored in his or her License Management  Facility (LMF).   G This guide is intended for use by External Digital Customers as-well-as  Internal Digital Customers.   H SUPFINDER users are expected to be well versed in System Management and H have access to the systems LMF also a basic understanding of VMS V5.0 or greater.    .                                 Menus Overview.                                 --------------  O SUPFINDER Main Menu, this Main user's menu outlines the on-line SUPFINDER tool.   D SUPFINDER Options Menu, explains the second option of the Main menu,+ detailing the cross reference list options.   J SUPFINDER System Options Menu, details the different configuration option  available to the user.  M SUPFINDER Node Selection Menu, details how to access cluster nodes vs remote   nodes vs current nodes.   B SUPFINDER Output Options Menu, explains how to direct your output.       Please Note:  L      This tool is meant to be run interactively against either a Cluster, orL a Standalone system.  If it is run against a Cluster, the SUPFINDER requiresN that you know and enter all of the Cluster's nodes which are up and running atJ the time you execute the SUPFINDER.  The SUPFINDER also requires that the M account executing it have enough default privileges to gain access to the LMF L database.  In processing a single node, the SUPFINDER will check that node'sL common LMF which is the default storage area for software licenses, and the L SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]LMF$SYSTEM.LDB which in some installations, is used to O store VMS MUP's (Mandatory Update Paks).  In processing the Cluster option, the M SUPFINDER will interrogate the common LMF (for the Cluster) via the 1st node  K which has been entered, and then proceed to check the SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE] P LMF$SYSTEM.LDB for each of the subsequent nodes, for any MUP's that might exist.H If you see an informational error stating that the SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]K LMF$SYSTEM.LDB does not exist for a particular node, do not worry, it just  K means that your system was not configured to carry this database, and that  6 all of your licenses are stored within the common LMF.      1                               SUPFINDER Main Menu 1                               -------------------   C This section outlines the FIVE options that are available under the  SUPFINDER Main Menu.  L The SUPFINDER Main Menu will give the System Manager access to the different SUPFINDER functions and tables.   ! The SUPFINDER Main Menu lets you:   6    1) Enter and process NODE/CLUSTER data for the LMF.
           D 	- This is the option which will allows you to enter data into, and B 	  execute the entered information against a Cluster or StandaloneD 	  system.  If you choose this option, you will proceed to the other5 	  menus, and be allowed to enter in more information   5    2) List the LMF Product Name Cross Reference List.   C 	- This is purely informational, and will allow you to list out the > 	  file SUP_PROD_NAME_XREF.LIS, which has been placed in your  	  SYS$MANAGER area.       3) List PAK Type Information.  C 	- This is purely informational, and will allow you to list out the = 	  file SUP_PAK_TYPE_INFO.LIS, which has been placed in your   	  SYS$MANAGER area.      4) List LMF Group Tables.  C 	- This is purely informational, and will allow you to list out the = 	  file SUP_PRODUCT_GROUPS.LIS which has been placed in your   	  SYS$MANAGER area.  !    5) Exit the SUPFINDER Program.       2                             SUPFINDER Options Menu2                             ----------------------  B This section outlines the two options that are available under the SUPFINDER Option Menu.    $ The SUPFINDER Options Menu lets you:  ,    1) List All Enabled PAKs on the system(s)       A 	- When choosing this option you will be shown all of the active  F 	  software PAKS which exist on your system.  It will show both valid = 	  license PAKS, and non-license PAKS (such as SUPs and TSPs)   -    2) List All SUPs and TSPs on the system(s)   C 	- This option will just show the SUPs and TSPs which are currently + 	  registered as "active" the system's LMF.         5                          SUPFINDER System Option Menu   			 ----------------------------    B This section outlines the two options that are available under the SUPFINDER System Option Menu.     * The SUPFINDER System Option Menu lets you:  *   1) Run SUPFINDER on a Stand Alone System  C 	- If this option is chosen you will be asked to enter one node for C 	  which to execute the SUPFINDER for.  This can either be the node E 	  you are currently logged onto, or a remote node.  If a remote node C 	  is chosen, then you will be asked to supply a valid account name F 	  and password, for an account that has enough default privileges to = 	  look at that system's common LMF and SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]  	  LMF$SYSTEM.LDB.         2) Run SUPFINDER on a Cluster  G 	- In this option you will be asked to enter all of the nodes which are I 	  members of the cluster.  It is important to enter only the nodes which F 	  are currently up and running at the time you execute the SUPFINDER.F 	  You can also enter a remote cluster in this option; and you will beH 	  asked for the proper account name and password to access the system'sH 	  LMF database(s).  In this option, the SUPFINDER will check the commonI 	  LMF (via the node which has been entered first) for the whole cluster; G 	  and then proceed to interrogate each subsequent node's SYS$SPECIFIC: F 	  [SYSEXE]LMF$SYSTEM.LDB for any VMS MUP's that might exist.  If you C 	  know that all of the cluster shares only 1 common LMF, and that  E 	  none of the nodes contain the SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]LMF$SYSTEM.LDB, C 	  then you could simply choose option 1 in this menu for the whole D 	  Cluster; and then enter any of the Cluster's nodes from which to  	  access the common LMF.                6                          SUPFINDER Node Selection Menu6                          -----------------------------    @ This section outlines the one option that is available under the SUPFINDER Node Selection Menu.    + The SUPFINDER Node Selection Menu lets you:   - Select the Node on which SUPFINDER is to RUN  H (Please note: that you can access remote nodes and if you have selected 1 the Cluster option you can enter up to 40 nodes.)   N    - If you have chosen the "Standalone" option from the System Options Menu, F      you will then be asked to enter the node you wish to interrogate.  K    - If you have chosen the "Cluster" option from the System Options Menu,  L      you will then be asked to enter each of the nodes in the Cluster (whichM      are up and running) one at a time.  Once you have finished entering all  L      of the nodes, enter <cr> when the SUPFINDER asks for another node, and .      SUPFINDER will continue to the next menu.      2                              SUPFINDER Output Menu 			     ---------------------   D This section outlines the three options that are available under the SUPFINDER Output Menu.  # The SUPFINDER Output Menu lets you:       1) Current Device / Screen   . 	- output will be paged to your current device  !    2) File (enter full File name)   6 	- reporting output will be saved in the default file ; 	  "sys$login:supfinder.lis" or the filespec of your choice       3) Print Queue   A 	- SUPFINDER will send the report to a valid print queue of your  " 	  choice.
