HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Completing the Upgrade, Choosing Descriptive Help Text

NOTE: Beginning with OpenVMS Version 8.3, DECwindows client files are made available through the DWMOTIF_SUPPORT kit. (Prior to Version 8.3, the client files were included directly with the OpenVMS operating system kit.) The OpenVMS installation procedure installs this kit automatically. The DWMOTIF_SUPPORT kit name is listed during the installation.

Required versions of some of the windowing and networking products might already be installed on the system. If so, you will see a message to this effect, as seen for most of the products in the previous example. For some of the windowing and networking products, earlier versions might be installed that still work on OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1. In this case, you will see a message indicating the software is already installed and asking whether you want to install the newer version. You can keep the currently installed version or upgrade to the newer version supplied with OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1. If you choose to keep the currently installed version, you should verify what level of support for this version is available from HP.

Some windowing and networking products might have versions installed that do not work on OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1. In this case, you are not given a choice to upgrade—the software is upgraded automatically.

NOTE: For support of Instant Capacity (iCAP) and Pay per use (PPU) functionality (supported on cell-based Integrity servers), and for support of such products as gWLM and HP SIM, install TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. When you provision OpenVMS on Integrity servers, TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is installed automatically.
