Note on Client Installations

If there is a full installation of the Alias software on the network, you have a fast network and NFS, you can act as a "client" of a "server" running the full package. See Installing Alias On Many Machines at Once on page 82.

For client installations, the server should contain all products that may be used by any client machine (including Studio, Power Animator, SurfaceStudio, and EvalViewer).

Optional and Specialized Software

In addition to the base installations, you can install the following software:

Open Digital Studio
A|W Alias CourseWare Material (Tutorials)

Follow the instructions under "Installing Optional and Specialized Software" to install these components.

Open Digital Studio

Consists of OpenAlias, OpenModel, OpenRender, and shared files.

OpenAlias

allows you to add new functionality to Alias through a plug-in architecture.

OpenModel

allows you to write applications that can read, write, and modify Alias wire files.

OpenRender

allows you to write your own custom shaders, textures, and lights.

These packages are only useful to programmers. If you will not be creating custom plug-ins or modifications, you do not need to install these files.

If you install Open Digital Studio, you must also install Alias Common Software, which contains the Alias Common Libraries (N32).CourseWare

The Alias CourseWare is a set of tutorial files that are used in conjunction with the Learning Alias manual included with Alias 9.0. To install the CourseWare select the A|W Alias CourseWare Material (Tutorials) product which is a sub-product of the main Alias 9.0 distribution. If you are installing SurfaceStudio, its associated CourseWare will be installed by default.

To move the CourseWare material from the installed area
(/usr/aw/alias/CourseWare) into your account
(~/user_data/CourseWare), make sure you have installed the CourseWare product from the Alias |Wavefront CD-Rom. Run the Install_CourseWare script from /usr/aw/alias/bin. This copies all of the CourseWare material into to your account.

Before You Install

Installation Requirements

Before you install your new Alias|Wavefront software, check the following:

• Operating System version: you must have IRIX 6.2 or higher installed. Alias 9.0 will not install on machines with a version of IRIX lower than 6.2.

• If you do not have IRIX 6.2 or higher installed, install it before attempting to install Alias|Wavefront software. Make sure you install the correct version for your machine. Note that IRIX 6.5 is the current version for most SGI workstations.

• IRIX 6.2 was first released in May 1996. If you have valid SGI software support and you have not received IRIX 6.2 yet, call the Technical Assistance Center at 1-800-800-4744. International customers should call their local SGI office.

• You must have 24-bit graphics.

• You must have a hardware Z-buffer except on the Indy and Indigo2 XL.

• You must have at least 96 MB of memory to run Alias 9.0. We recommend you have at least 128 MB. Increasing available memory will increase Alias 9.0 performance.

• You must have enough free space on your hard drive:

  Base Software	166 MB
  Renderers	77 MB
  Online Documentation	115 MB
  Open Digital Studio	78 MB (optional)
  Total	488 MB

• If you need to make room for Alias 9.0, you can remove other software in the "Manage Installed Software" section of Software Manager.

• You must have access to a CD-ROM drive to install Alias 9.0.

• The Alias renderers require the following additional libraries:

c_eoe.sw32.lib

c++_eoe.sw32.lib

compiler_eoe.sw32.lib




(compiler_eoe.sw32.lib is not required on systems 
with the 7.2 compiler software.)




If these libraries are not already installed, you will be 
notified during installation and given instructions on how 
to install them. The installation will not proceed until 
these libraries are installed.

Preparing to Install

If you are installing to a filesystem other than /usr

To install Alias 9.0 in a directory other than /usr/aw/alias9.0, you must create a soft link (called /usr/aw/alias9.0) to the new location. When inst tries to install Alias 9.0 to /usr/aw/alias9.0, it will follow the link and install in the new location.

To install Studio|PowerAnimator 9.0 or SurfaceStudio to a filesystem mounted as /v, for example, use the following commands:

mkdir /v/alias9.0

mkdir /usr/aw (if it doesn't already exist)

ln -s /v/alias9.0 /usr/aw

To install EvalViewer 9.0 onto the same filesystem, use the following commands:

mkdir /v/evalviewer9.0

mkdir /usr/aw (if it doesn't already exist)

ln -s /v/evalviewer9.0 /usr/aw

Additionally, it is possible to install all Alias|Wavefront software onto a non-default filesystem by making /usr/aw a soft link to another filesystem. For example:

mkdir /v/aw

ln -s /v/aw /usr

Once you have created these links, any Alias|Wavefront software installation will be installed to the /v filesystem. However, if any other Alias|Wavefront software is currently installed on your system you will be unable to create the new /v/aw link.

In some cases, if /usr does not have enough space to install Alias, you will get a free space error, even though you are installing to a different filesystem.

If you are performing a client installation

You must create a soft link (called /usr/aw) to the /usr/aw/alias9.0 directory of the server machine.

For Studio, PowerAnimator, or SurfaceStudio, use the following command:

ln -s hostname:/usr/aw/alias9.0 /usr/aw




Where hostname is the name of the machine with the server 
installation of Alias 9.0.

To install Evalviewer9.0, use the following command:

ln -s hostname:/usr/aw/evalviewer9.0 /usr/aw




Where hostname is the name of the machine with the server 
installation of EvalViewer9.0.

Mounting the CD-ROM on a Local Machine

If your CD-ROM is already mounted as a filesystem, skip to the next section.

For information on loading and setting up your CD-ROM drive, see

• Your SGI workstation manual or the manual for your CD-ROM drive.

• SGI Insight online help. (Available in the Toolchest as Help > Online Books, or through the insight command).

When using the Indigo Magic desktop

Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

An icon labelled cdrom will appear on your desktop.

When using a terminal

1

Insert the CD-ROM in the CD-ROM drive.

2

Check if the CD-ROM is already mounted. Type:

df -kl

The output of this command will be similar to:

Filesystem	Type	kbytes	use	avail	%use	Mounted on
/dev/root	efs	966304	919735	46569	96	/
/dev/dsk/dks0d4s7	efs	617520	572088	45432	93	CDROM

In the last line you can see that the CDROM filesystem is already mounted. You can verify this by typing ls /CDROM .

If the CDROM filesystem is already mounted on your machine, skip ahead to the installation procedure.

If the CDROM filesystem is not mounted, do the following steps.

3

Find out the device controller and unit number of the CD-ROM drive. Type:

hinv | grep CD

The output of this command will be similar to:

CDROM: unit 4 on SCSI controller 0

In this case, the controller number is 0 and the unit number is 4.

4

Use the controller number and unit number to work out the device name of the CD-ROM drive. The device name is in the form /dev/dsk/dks#d#s7, where the number following the s is the controller number, and the number following the d is the unit number.

In the example above, the device name would be /dev/dsk/ dks0d4s7.

5

Mount the CD-ROM drive as a directory. In this example, we use /CDROM.

If the directory does not exist, you must create it. Type mkdir /CDROM.

To mount the CD, type

/etc/mount -r /dev/dsk/dks0d4s7 /CDROM

where /dev/dsk/dks0d4s7 is the device name you worked out in the previous step and /CDROM is the directory to which you are mounting the CD-ROM.

6

To allow other machines to install from this CD-ROM drive, add the filesystem to the exports list.

Use a text editor to add /CDROM to the /etc/exports file. To allow other machines on the network to access the filesystem, type:

/usr/etc/exportfs -a

(This requires that NFS is running at your site.)

Mounting the CD-ROM across a Network

To install Alias 9.0 on a machine without a CD-ROM drive, use the CD-ROM drive of a remote machine with the Alias|Wavefront CD-ROM already mounted (as described above).

1

Mount the Alias|Wavefront CD-ROM on the remote machine as described in Mounting the CD-ROM on a Local Machine on page 72.

2

Mount the CD-ROM drive as a directory. In this example, we use
/cdrom.

If the directory does not exist, you must create it. Type
mkdir /cdrom.

To mount the CD, type:

/etc/mount hostname:/CDROM /cdrom

where hostname is the name of the machine with the CD- ROM drive.

Note that we use /cdrom (lowercase) as the local mount directory instead of /CDROM (uppercase). This is deliberate. Tests by Alias|Wavefront personnel indicate that using /CDROM (uppercase) as the local mount directory of a remote CD-ROM drive can cause serious installation problems. Do not use uppercase /CDROM as a local mount directory for a remote CD-ROM.

Behind the Scenes

Software Manager performs the following steps automatically (for additional installation information refer to Appendix A: File Lists on page 108 and Appendix B: Inst exitops on page 112:)

• creates /usr/aw (the base location for all Alias|Wavefront software) if it does not already exist.

• creates/updates the symbolic link from /usr/aw/alias to the actual installation location. The default location is /usr/aw/alias9.0

• checks if you have the latest version of Licenser installed. If you do not, the version on the CD-ROM is marked for installation. (see Appendix A: File Lists on page 108 for complete file listings)

• checks for Alias common software (a collection of shared libraries and license related programs used by all Alias software) installed on your system. The common software is updated to work with the new version of Alias and is also backwardly compatible to work with older versions of Alias.

• checks whether your site is a pre-keyed licensed site. If you are an existing Alias customer, you may be in this file. If you are, Software Manager will search for your licenses in the file and update your license file (/var/flexlm/aw.dat).

• If your license is not found, you must get one from Alias|Wavefront. See Licensing Alias|Wavefront Software on page 83.

• creates symbolic links from some of the files in the common software area (/usr/aw/COM) to the new Alias software (this is not done for a render-only installation). Links between the common OpenModel shared libraries and the Alias library directory are necessary for plugin development.

• enables and optimizes the size of the virtual swap space on your workstation. Alias makes extensive use of virtual swap space when writing data files and rendering.

• For information on virtual swap space, see the man page for swap, or search the Insight online documentation.

• adds Alias-related information to IRIX: creates an Alias|Wavefront software page in the Icon Catalog, adds Alias|Wavefront file types to the file database (/etc/magic), and adds imagery for minimized windows.

• (Note: different icons are installed depending on whether you use 4dwm or mwm).

• (server only) creates a world-writable render control directory (/usr/aw/alias/render_control) to allow this installation to be used as a rendering engine.

If you want a demo account, you must set it up manually using setupacct . See Preparing To Use the Alias Software on page 86.

Installing Alias Using inst (Advanced)

Starting inst

1

Log in as root.

2

In a shell, type inst

3

At the inst> prompt type from followed by the path to the Alias dist path on the local or remote CD.

For example:

from /CDROM/dist

or:

from remotehost:/CDROM/dist

(depending on NFS syntax at your site).

4

After starting inst as described above you will see the installation README file. At the end of the README file you will be prompted to run the installation startup script.

Select option 1 to run the startup script. For proper installation you must run the startup script. The script performs a large amount of housekeeping(see Behind the Scenes on page 78).

Do not choose option 2 to ignore the startup script.

Installing Alias On Many Machines at Once

The inst automatic mode is very useful for scripts and batch installations. However, before using it, you must make sure all prerequisite software is installed, there is enough disk space for the installation, and that there are no installation conflicts.

To install in automatic mode as root type:

/usr/sbin/inst -a -f dist -Vstartup_script:execute

where dist is the location of the dist directory (for example:
/CDROM/dist).

Writing a batch script

Automatic mode is best used for installing Alias on many machines at once. Here is a sample workflow to install Alias on multiple machines in batch mode:

1

Generate a file containing the list of hostnames you want to install Alias on, one hostname per line.

2

Ensure that the Alias distribution CD is accessible from each of the clients. NFS is the preferred method for doing this, but is not absolutely necessary.

3

Make sure that all the machines have the necessary IRIX prerequisites already installed.

4

If inst detects any missing prerequisites, the program will stop and your script will break.

5

Create a script that logs into each host and executes this command:

/usr/sbin/inst -a -fdist -Fdist/alias.sel
-Vstartup_script:execute

6

If you are using node locked licenses see the Licensing section for how to get all the licenses for your site at once. Then distribute this file to each machine that has Alias installed.

Licensing Alias|Wavefront Software

Authorizing Your Software

Use the following instructions to license your copy of Alias 9.0.

Running Licenser

To begin authorizing your new Alias|Wavefront software, type:

Licenser

in a shell to run the Alias|Wavefront Licenser program.

If you do not have a valid license yet

If you do not have Internet email, a fax, or a printer, use the blank printed SPAR form included with the software.

Otherwise, do the following:

1

Use your web browser to open /usr/aw/COM/html/spar/index.html.

2

Complete all information in the form. When filling out the form remember to:

Choose whether you want to receive your licenses by FAX or e-mail.

Click the Products button and select all the products you wish to license.

Choose Evaluation if you are requesting an evaluation license. (Evaluation request forms are sent to your regional sales office, rather than Alias|Wavefront headquarters).

3

To fax or phone the information to us, click Print. Or click Save to File to save it for later.

4

If you are sending your SPAR form to us using e-mail, click Send E-mail.

When we receive your SPAR form, we will send you a series of license strings.

To enter a single machine (nodelocked) license

1

Make sure you are logged on as root.

2

Enter the license string in the large text field. Press Enter at the end of each line.

3

Click Install Licenses.

To enter concurrent (floating) licenses.

1

Use the instructions for single machine license to enter the floating licenses only on the machine(s) that will serve licenses (the servers) to other machines (the clients).

2

After installing the licences, copy the server's license file to all client machines.

This file is called

/var/flexlm/aw_servername.dat

where servername is the host name of the license server. Copy this file to the same directory (/var/flexlm/) on the client machines.

3

Click OK to restart the server with the new licenses.

4

To set up your server to run the licensing software at each reboot, log in as root and type the following:

/etc/chkconfig -f aw_flexlm on

Findkey functionality for large customer site license installation

If you have many machines at your site licensed for Alias|Wavefront products you may be interested in taking advantage of a method to obtain all the licenses for your site at once. This way you can store the licenses in a single file and distribute that file to every machine instead of individually licensing each machine.

To do this follow these steps:

1

Locate your site code. Your site code can be found on your license letter OR on the packing slip that is included with your documentation boxed set. Your site code looks like `####/###' where the # are digits. You can ignore the last three digits if there are six after the slash `/'.

2

Mount your Alias|Wavefront product CD by following the instructions in the CD booklet. Be sure that the machine that you use has a valid Alias|Wavefront license for it otherwise the findkey command will not be successful.

3

In a shell window type:

cd /CDROM/.data

where /CDROM is the mount point of the CD you mounted in step 2.

4

Extract the nodelocked licenses for your site by typing in the shell window:

/usr/aw/COM/bin/findkey -nsd prereg/FLEX ####/ ### > output_file

where ####/### is your site code as determined in step 1 and output_file is the name of the file you wish to save the licenses to.

5

Now distribute the output file created in the previous step to each machine licensed for Alias|Wavefront software.

On each machine, add the contents of the output_file to either the beginning or end of /var/flexlm/aw.dat on that machine.

OCTANE Duo and Dual Configurations

• OCTANE Duo Option

Version 9.0 supports OCTANE Duo option. This is an upgrade that allows one OCTANE workstation to support two users. Special licensing is required for this upgrade. Please call your local Alias |Wavefront sales representative.

• OCTANE Dual Display Option

Version 9.0 supports the OCTANE Dual Display configuration. This is an upgrade that allows a user to display graphics and text on a second graphics monitor.

To set this option, set the environment variable ALT_DISPLAY to the OCTANE secondary graphics display name: (for example, type "setenv ALT_DISPLAY :0.1").

Once this option has been set, you can move the main window from the primary monitor to the secondary monitor, and back again, using the Utilities >ChangeScreen menu. All other windows can be moved from one monitor to the other by click-dragging on the window's title bar to drag the window between the two screens.

Limitation

Workaround

Preparing To Use the Alias Software

This section assumes that you have already installed the Alias software. For information, see:

• Installation Overview on page 66

• Before You Install on page 69

• Installing Alias Using Software Manager on page 75

Setting Up User Accounts and Projects

The Alias software uses a shared location (/usr/aw/alias9.0) for files that do not change between projects or users, and individual directories (work areas) for files related to individual users or projects.

This structure has the following advantages:

• protects key software components from accidental damage

• allows users to customize their work areas

• allows several users to use the Alias software from protected accounts, without duplicating common files.

The central shared area /usr/aw/alias9.0 should not be used as a work area.

If you have many users or projects, each user should have his or her own UNIX account. All users can then have their own Alias work areas. If each job or project is the responsibility of an individual user, this is sufficient since it protects each project from accidental changes by other users, and allows each user to customize the Alias environment for each project.

Setting up an account

To use the Alias software, it is recommended that you first set up your account. Alias 9.0 contains a setupacct script that can be used to verify and update accounts using the Alias software. Setupacct has been modified from previous versions so that there is no removal or replacement of files at the account level. The following lists the new features of setupacct as well as changes to Alias.

1

Log in using the account you want to set up.

or

Log in as root to set up an account other than your own. If the account does not exist (in NIS or /etc/passwd) setupacct creates it.

2

Type /usr/aw/alias9.0/bin/setupacct

• When updating existing accounts setupacct will first check for the existence of the following files:

.4Dwmrc: IRIS Extended Motif Window Manager resource file used to override the default 4Dwm window manager settings. This file should contain a line that disables the third mouse button which is normally used to post a window menu when the Alt key is pressed. .4Dwmrc should contain the following line:

• ! Meta<Btn3Down> window|icon f.post_wmenu

• Alias requires this setting to allow vertical grid snapping. The line therefore should be disabled as listed above. (The "!" symbol indicates that the line is disabled).

.Xresources: There are two lines that are important to Alias:

*positionOnScreen and 4DWm*keyboardFocusPolicy.

*positionOnScreen is used so that when Alias is launched all windows are drawn off screen until everything is loaded. 4DWm*keyboardFocusPolicy is used for proper mouse focus and allows you to type values into text fields without first clicking in the cell. .Xresources should contain the following lines:

• *positionOnScreen: false

• 4DWm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer

.cshrc: Cshell resource file that includes Alias specific environment variables and path settings.

.login: login file that is sourced at login time

.mwmrc: Motif window manager resource file that contains the same information as .4Dwmrc but is only used in your account with the motif window manager.

If any of these files do not exist you will be prompted to create each one (note that .4Dwmrc will only be needed if .mwmrc does not exist. If .mwmrc does exist .4Dwmrc will not be created as it is assumed that you are running under the Motif Window Manager.)

3

If any of these files currently exist in your account but contain unsupported settings you will be notified by setupacct and be given the option for appropriate changes to be made to each file. This differs from the previous method where the files were automatically saved in a backup directory and replaced.

Changes to Alias

• You will no longer see error messages that indicate incorrect X11 settings which used to be posted if Alias detected unsupported settings in your .Xresources file. Even though this message has been suppressed we still encourage you to use the setupacct script to verify that your account is properly setup to run Alias.

• The IncreaseVswap warning has been turned off, however if Alias detects that you do not have enough vswap a warning message will be passed to the errlog.

• An Alias 9.0 shell is now available which you can run to set all appropriate environment variables to run Alias 9.0. All of your current settings are maintained, however, we add the following environment variables which are important for the correct operation of Alias and any of its standalone utilities:

setenv ALIAS_LOCATION /usr/aw/alias

LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ALIAS_LOCATION/ lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH

set PATH=($PATH $ALIAS_LOCATION/bin)

To run the Alias shell type the following in a shell:

/usr/aw/alias/bin/winterm_Alias9.0

or double click on the winterm_Alias9.0 icon in the Alias|Wavefront catalog.

Updating a work area from a previous version of Alias

In every project directory, Alias software saves two option files, Alias_options and user_options. These files are used to save menu and option settings and are very specific to the version of Alias software that created them.

To use a project with an updated version of Alias software, you must remove these files:

1

Change to your work area directory.

2

Type

rm user_data/<project name>/option/*

Creating a new work area

Once your account is set up to use the Alias software, decide where the Alias software will put your output files (the work area).

If you want your output files saved to a user_data directory in your home directory ($HOME), you do not need to change anything: setupacct has already set this as your default work area.

If you want your output files saved to a user_data directory in a directory other than your home (such as a subdirectory or another directory entirely):

1

Load your shell startup file (~/.cshrc) into a text editor.

2

Find the line reading:

setenv ALIAS_WORKENV $HOME

3

Replace the text $HOME with the path of your work area directory.

4

Log out and log in again for the change to take effect, or type:

source ~/.cshrc

5

If the work area you just specified does not exist yet, create it by typing:

mkdir -p $ALIAS_WORKENV

If your work area directory does not contain a user_data sub-directory when Alias starts up, Alias will ask if you want to create it. Alias requires that the user_data directory exists.

Creating a new project directory

For information, see Basic Tools in Alias.

To create a new project directory in you work area, choose File > New Project in Alias.

Setting Up Multiple Users On One Project

If two users are collaborating on a project, you can place the project in one of their work areas, and use the IRIX chmod command:

chmod -R g+rw user_data/project

to give other users in the same UNIX group permission to read and write the files in that project. Edit the .cshrc file to change umask 022 to umask 002. This ensures that new \xde les created are also writable by members of your group.

If you have a project that you want protected from alteration by other users, use this command:

chmod -R go-w user_data/project

This removes write permission for group members and other users; only the owner may then create or modify files in this project. Edit the .cshrc file to change umask 002 to umask 022 (if you changed it earlier).

If you work on many projects for many clients, you may want to set up a shared, global area for project data. For example, you might create the following structure:

/usr/jobs/

	/client1/

		/user_data/

			/project1/

			/project2/

			...

	/client2/

		/user_data/

			/project1/

			/project2/

			...

Setting Up an Account for Remote Rendering

To set up an account able to render on a remote rendering engine:

1

You need accounts on your local workstation and on the remote rendering engine. These accounts should have the same user ID and group ID numbers, and must have the same username. Both machines must have NFS.

2

Make sure the rendering engine has a world-writable directory called /usr/aw/alias9.0/render_control.

3

You can run the setupacct script to verify that the accounts are set up correctly. You can also create accounts using this script when it is invoked as root.

4

Log in to your account on the local workstation and run Alias. You will need to change some Alias preferences to allow remote rendering.

5

In Alias, choose Preferences > Edit Alias preferences. The following window is displayed:

6

Open the Render Options section. In the Render machine text field, type the host name of the rendering engine.

7

In the Render location field, type the name of the project directory in which finished pix, mask and SDL files will be placed by the remote renderer.

For example, if you enter user_data/demo, the files will be placed in the following directories:

• user_data/demo/pix

• user_data/demo/mask

• user_data/demo/sdl

If the Render location does not start with a slash (/), it is assumed to begin at your home directory on the rendering engine. For example, user_data/demo would become
~/user_data/demo.

Important: these directories must exist on the rendering engine, or the render will fail.

8

To perform a remote render, choose Render > Render-, and turn the Remote option box on. Then choose Render > Render to render on the remote rendering engine.

The rendering job runs on the remote machine. You can view the progress of the remote render with Render > Show render.

Once the rendering job is complete, the pix file is moved from the remote rendering engine to the project's pix directory on the local workstation.

Installation Troubleshooting

Common Problems and Solutions

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
I've become lost in the installation procedure		Click Lookup in the Software Manager window to reload the dist file. Begin the installation again from the start.
An "Alias|Wavefront Installation Error" window appears.	You may be missing prerequisite IRIX software.	Follow the instructions given in the window before continuing with the installation.
Software Manager does not act like the instructions say it should.	Software Manager is very customizable. A site manager may have changed its behavior.	Delete or rename /var/inst/.swmgrrc. Software Manager will revert to its default behavior.
Software Manager reports a conflict.	There are many possible causes of software conflicts. Click the Conflict button to get more details.	To help prevent software conflicts: Do not click Cancel in the Installation Software Script window. Do not click the Default Installation button in the Software Manager window.
Software Manager tells me I don't have enough space on /usr even though I'm installing to a different filesystem.	This is a bug in Software Manager.	This work-around disables the space-checking function. Make sure you have enough room in the filesystem to hold Alias before proceeding. From the Panes menu, choose Command. Type the following in the command line: set override_space_check true
I get errors when I try to license or run my Alias software.	Common software is not installed.	See Checking Common Software on page 98.
	Your account has not been properly set up.	Set up the account with the setupacct command. See Setting Up User Accounts and Projects on page 86.
	Your license file is incorrect or corrupt.	See Checking Your Licenses on page 101.

Checking Common Software

From a Unix Shell, enter the command:

versions awcommon <enter>

The output from this command should read as follows:

I = Installed, R = Removed









   Name                 Date      Description









I  awcommon             10/14/98  Alias|Wavefront 
Common Utilities, 3.7




I  awcommon.sw          10/14/98  A|W Common 
Software




I  awcommon.sw.base     10/14/98  A|W Common 
Software




I  awcommon.sw.desktop  10/14/98  A|W Common 
Desktop environment

• The output must show a capital "I", which means the software is installed.

• To use Alias 9.0, Version 3.7 or higher of the Common Utilities must be installed.

If the versions awcommon command indicates that you do not have this subsystem installed then the Install procedure did not complete successfully. Try reinstalling the awcommon software from the Alias 9.0 installation CD.

Verification of other common subsystems

There are additional software subsystems that will cause problems if they are missing.

From a Unix Shell, enter the command:

versions alias9_0 alias9_0_common license_eoe

The output should be similar to the following for each subsystem:

I = Installed, R = Removed
	Name	Date	Description
I	alias9_0	10/14/98	Alias|Wavefront Alias 9.0
I	alias9_0.docs	10/14/98	A|W Alias Online Docs

I	license_eoe.sw.license_eoe	10/14/98	License Manager 3.3.1 Software

The output must show a capital "I" next to each line, which means the software is installed.

If the versions command indicates that you do not have this subsystem installed then the Install procedure did not complete successfully. Try reinstalling the Alias software.

Checking Your Licenses

Make sure you have an up-to-date license

In a shell, type

cd /var/flexlm <enter>

jot aw.dat

to verify which version is currently installed on your system.

The file will be similar to the following:

FEATURE AW_A3D sgiawd 9.000 16-nov-1998 0 ACC060D1D021A63AB3A1

VENDOR_STRING=D3cG4ub5mf7QPIqFtdAMgUPefs4p3HSotd7oEE \

HOSTID=690a97b7 ck=3

The relevant information is the 9.000. This indicates the version of Alias for which you are licensed (9.000 is the same as 9.0).

Use FLEXlm tools to check for licensing conflicts

For Alias|Wavefront node-locked licenses, check the license file by typing:

/usr/sbin/lmdiag -c /var/flexlm/aw.dat <enter>

For Alias|Wavefront floating licenses, add the server name to the filename:

/usr/sbin/lmdiag -c /var/flexlm/aw_servername.dat

awinfo Utility

We have included a utility with Alias 9.0, called awinfo
(/usr/aw/COM/bin/awinfo), to help Alias|Wavefront Assist and field personnel gather system information from customer sites.

This utility is designed make it easier for Alias|Wavefront personnel to debug customer problems. You can run it at any time to see the output it generates and possibly detect correctable problems.

By default, awinfo creates an output file in /usr/tmp.

File Layout

Appendix B: Inst exitops

The following commands are run before Software Manager finalizes its installation routine. These operations are called exitops and are performed at the end of the installation.

I. Magic File Addition

magic file created at /etc/magic which is used to identify Alias|Wavefront filetypes.

Commands:

(chroot $rbase /sbin/sh -c "cd /etc; if [ -f magic ] 
; then mv -f magic magic.O; awk /Alias.Wavefront\\ 
Alias\\ files.\\ begin/\\{p=1\\}\\ /
Alias.Wavefront\\ Alias\\ files.\\ end/\\{p=0\\}\\ 
\\{if\\(p==0\\)print\\} magic.O | grep -v 
Alias.Wavefront\\ Alias\\ files > magic; fi; cat /
tmp/magic.alias >> magic; chmod 644 magic; rm /tmp/
magic.alias")



II.  Iconbook Additions


A new entry is added to the Icon Catalog with Alias|Wavefront 
applications

Commands:

(if [ -x $rbase/usr/sbin/iconbookedit ]; then 
chroot $rbase /usr/sbin/iconbookedit -remove 
"Category:File Name:/usr/aw/COM2.0/doc/
awxfiles_html/Awxfiles.doc" -syspage 
AliasWavefront; chroot $rbase /usr/sbin/

chroot $rbase /usr/sbin/iconbookedit -add 
"Category:File Name:/usr/aw/COM2.0/html/spar/
AW_License_Request" -syspage AliasWavefront; fi;)




(cd /usr/local/aw ; $rbase/usr/aw/COM/html/spar/
getsparinfo)




(if test -r $rbase/usr/lib/filetype/Makefile ; then 
chroot $rbase /sbin/sh -c "cd /usr/lib/filetype; 
make > /dev/null" ; fi)




(if test -x $rbase/usr/sbin/iconbookedit; then 
chroot $rbase /usr/sbin/iconbookedit -remove 
"Category:File Name:/usr/aw/alias9.0/bin/ms3" -
syspage AliasWavefront >/dev/null 2>&1; chroot

evdocs" -syspage AliasWavefront >/dev/null 2>&1)



III.  Findkey


Findkey command is run which searches the prekey database for 
license information based on the getid output of the local 
workstation. If an entry exists a new license will be installed into 
the /var/flexlm/aw.dat file.




Commands:




(chroot $rbase /sbin/sh -c "cd /usr/aw/alias9.0; 
bin/getid -v >/dev/null 2>&1 || /usr/aw/COM/bin/
findkey -l -i .data/Alias.master; rm -rf .data")



IV.  IncreaseVswap


IncreaseVswap is run to verify that virtual swap settings are 
correct based on the physical amount of memory on your 
machine. vswap is necessary to save large files or launch other 
utilities such as renderers, wrl etc.
