FCP Installation and Configuration (v1.5)
-----------------------------------------

To install FCP in FUE environment, do the following:

1. Create new or designate an existing account to be used
to run FCP daemon. This does not have to be a privileged
account. In this document, this account will be referred to as
"fcp_account".

2. Create a directory in NFS-shared area. In this document,
this directory will be referred to as <FCP_ROOT>. Path
to this directory must be the same on all nodes of the farm.

3. Under <FCP_ROOT>, create 3 subdirectories:
    cfg     - for FCP configuration file(s)
    bin     - for FCP start-up script(s)
    log     - for FCP log files

4. Set protections/owners of the directories in such a way that
    - <FCP_ROOT> and <FCP_ROOT>/cfg are readable by anybody on
      all farm nodes;
    - <FCP_ROOT> and all subdirectories are readable by fcp_account
      on FCP server node(s);
    - <FCP_ROOT>/log is writable by fcp_account on FCP server node(s).

5. Install fcp and fcslib products using UPD or otherwise. If using UPD,
issue command "upd install -R fcp". This will install fcslib automatically.

6. Make sure that
    - fcp is declared for all flavors you need
    - fcslib is declared for NULL flavor
    
7. Tailor fcp for all flavors using:

    ups tailor -O <FCP_ROOT> -f <flavor> fcp <version>
    
8. Issue

    setup fcp
    
9. Copy $FCP_DIR/cfg/fcp.cfg.example into <FCP_ROOT>/cfg/fcp.cfg.
Edit <FCP_ROOT>/cfg/fcp.cfg if necessary. Most importantly, edit
line 

    log_file = /path/file
    
so that /path is <FCP_ROOT>/log. If you do not need FCP to create
any log files, remove this line, or comment it out with '#'.

10. Copy $FCP_DIR/bin/start_fcp.sh into <FCP_ROOT>/bin/start_fcp.sh.
Edit <FCP_ROOT>/bin/start_fcp.sh if necessary to use correct
path to setups.sh UPS setup script.

11. Start fcp daemons on all FCP server nodes (not all farm nodes!)
using <FCP_ROOT>/bin/start_fcp.sh.

12. Check whether fcp is running by issuing:

    setup fcp
    fcps <fcp-server-node>
    
13. If configured so, check whether log files are created under <FCP_ROOT>/log
