HP OpenVMS 8.x Alternative Procedure, HP OpenVMS System Managers Manual, Volume 1 Essentials

For additional information about installing layered products, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

7.14.1 Alternative Procedure

Use this alternative procedure to install the following products:

•Layered products on a target system that has a different operating system version than that of the operating system media (CD/DVD)

•Layered products that require VMSINSTAL (indicated in the directories by save-set file names with file types of .A, .B, and so on)

•OpenVMS I64 OE products

•SIP kits (as an alternative to using menu option 3 of the operating system menu on the media)

•Products on the Layered Products, Freeware, System Tools, and e-Business Integration and Infrastructure CDs

•Third-party software products (such as database products, accounting software, and so forth)

For a list of layered products you can install, see the Software Product Descriptions included with your operating system kit. Note that some products require a license key (PAK) from HP.

Follow these steps:

1.Before you install all your layered products, be sure you back up the system disk. In addition, ensure that a license has been loaded for the software. Note also that most layered products require changes to SYSGEN parameters or AUTHORIZE values, and to system files such as SYLOGICALS.COM, SYLOGIN.COM, and SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM. For more information, see the following:

•Installation guides for these layered products

•HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials

•Section 7.23 (page 145) in this manual

•Section 7.16 (page 143) in this manual

2.After your target system disk runs AUTOGEN and boots (if necessary), mount the OpenVMS operating system media. For example, if the device with the operating system media is DKA400:, use the following command:

$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA400

3.Locate the directories and files containing the available layered products. For example, if the device name is DKA400:, enter the following command:

$ DIRECTORY /NOHEAD/NOTRAIL DKA400:[*.KIT]

You can use the PRODUCT FIND command to locate kits by using the PCSI utility. For example:

$ PRODUCT FIND * /SOURCE=DKA400:[*.KIT]

4.To install layered products that require VMSINSTAL (indicated in the directories by save-set file names with file types of .A, .B, and so on), enter the @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL command and then specify the device name and directory at the prompt. For example:

$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL

* Where will the distribution volumes be mounted: DKA400:[DIAA032.KIT]

To install layered products that require the PCSI utility (indicated in the directories by file names with file types of .PCSI or .PCSI$COMPRESSED), use the PRODUCT INSTALL command to specify the device name and directory. Following is an example of the PRODUCT INSTALL command on an I64 system:

$ PRODUCT INSTALL FORTRAN /SOURCE=DKB400:[I64_FORT075.KIT]
