1.4.3 Using the Install or Upgrade Layered Products Option (3)

Use option 3 on the operating system main menu for normal installations or upgrades of the layered products.

NOTE: Although option 3 installs any patch kits available from the OpenVMS distribution media, HP recommends using option 7 to install patch kits; option 7 enables you to install patch kits that are not located in the standard location. In addition, option 7 saves recovery data; when you use option 7 to remove patch kits, only kits with recovery data are removed.

You can use option 1 to install or upgrade the DECwindows graphical user interface and HP networking products along with the OpenVMS operating system.

When you select option 3, the PCSI utility allows you to choose whether to install layered products or to register layered products that are on the target disk but are not in the Product Database. If you attempt to reinstall the same version of a product that is already installed, the product is reinstalled. Note that any patches that were applied to the product are removed. If you want to reconfigure, select the reconfigure option (5) on the main menu.

As of Version 8.3, most of the software kits included on the OpenVMS distribution media are signed using Secure Delivery. When you use option 3 of the OpenVMS I64 operating system menu, these kits are validated by the PCSI utility. You can install kits created before the secure delivery process was enabled in OpenVMS Version 8.3. (However, after you install or upgrade to OpenVMS Version 8.3 or later, signed kits that you install subsequently are validated, including any signed kits included on the distribution media.) The DCL command PRODUCT SHOW HISTORY displays the validation status of these kits as unsigned rather than as a validated kit.

As shown in the following example, you are also prompted for a target disk and asked whether you want brief or detailed descriptions. The procedure presents a list of products and allows you to select any or all of these products. Alternatively, you can exit without installing or upgrading any products.

NOTE: The layered products listed include the required CDSA, Kerberos, SSL, TDC, Availability Manager, WBEM Services for OpenVMS, and WBEM Providers for OpenVMS. Also included are the optional DECwindows, DECnet Phase IV, DECnet-Plus, and TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS products. Support of such features as Instant Capacity (iCAP), Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP), and Pay per use (PPU), and for products such as gWLM and HP SIM, requires TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. When you use HP SIM to provision OpenVMS on an Integrity server, TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is installed automatically.

You can install (or upgrade to) the new implementation of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (Version 5.6) as part of the OpenVMS upgrade. If you want to install Version 5.6 separately, choose the following product, selecting the appropriate option as in the example that follows.

HP I64VMS TCPIP V5.6
