HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version
using the Secure Delivery component of CDSA to au- thenticate the originator of the product kit and to verify its contents.
For OpenVMS Alpha, layered product kit validation is not performed when installing or upgrading OpenVMS from the distribution media (CD). This restriction is due to space limitations on the OpenVMS Alpha distribution CD which prevents CDSA from being present in usable form while booted from the CD. However, after instal- lation or upgrade of OpenVMS to Version 8.3, signed kits that you subsequently install go through the valida- tion process (including any signed kits that ship on the distribution media).
In addition, on both OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity server systems, the PRODUCT SHOW HIS- TORY command displays the validation status of in- stalled products and identifies those that were installed from unsigned kits or were installed prior to the avail- abity of the Secure Delivery functionality.
VMSINSTAL
OpenVMS includes the VMSINSTAL facility to handle the installation of optional HP supplied software prod- ucts that have not been converted to use the POLY- CENTER Software Installation utility.
Test Package and Diagnostics
OpenVMS includes a User Environment Test Package (UETP), which verifies that the OpenVMS operating sys- tem is properly installed and ready for use on the cus- tomer’s systems.
You can run diagnostics on individual devices during normal system operation. Certain critical components can operate in degraded mode.

Note: The minimum OpenVMS files listed in the table will allow you to run with minimal functionality. Not all OpenVMS commands and utilities will function fully as documented in this minimum configuration. Not all HP and other layered products will work in this minimum configuration.
The minimum OpenVMS files are for a system config- uration where all optional features have been declined during the initial installation. For most applications, this is not a realistic OpenVMS environment.
