HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Procedure

procedure:

Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)

Default Time Differential Factor for standard time is -5:00. Default Time Differential Factor for daylight saving time is -4:00.

The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative (-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.).

This time zone supports daylight saving time.

Is this time zone currently on daylight saving time? (Yes/No): YES

Enter the Time Differential Factor [-4:00]:

NEW SYSTEM TIME DIFFERENTIAL FACTOR = -4:00

Is this correct? [Y]:

For more information about TDF support, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials. Once OpenVMS has been installed and booted from the system disk, you can determine whether your system is set for daylight saving time by using the following DCL command to display the translation for the daylight saving time logical:

$ SHOW LOGICAL *TIMEZONE*

"SYS$TIMEZONE_DAYLIGHT_SAVING"="1"

.

.

.

15.Register Licenses (Optional at this time): After setting the TDF, the procedure asks whether you want to register any Product Authorization Keys (PAKs), as in the following display:

If you have Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to register, you can register them now.

Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys? (Yes/No) [Yes]

You can register the PAKs now by responding YES to the prompt, or later by responding NO. You register licenses later by following the directions in Section 7.3 (page 116).

To register your licenses now, be sure you have the following before proceeding:

•A copy of the Product Authorization Key (PAK) for each license that you are registering.

•The HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual, which contains complete, detailed information about the licensing procedure.

For the OpenVMS I64 operating system, a single Operating Environment (OE) license grants the right to use all the components bundled in the purchased OE. Each OE is offered with Per Core Licenses (PCLs). One PCL is required for each active processor core in the system or hard partition. (If additional processor cores are added later to the system or hard partition, each requires an additional PCL.) The License Management utility supports these OpenVMS I64 licensing practices. The OpenVMS Unlimited User License is included with the Foundation Operating Environment (FOE) and, therefore, is included with the other OEs available. For more information, see the HP Operating Environments for OpenVMS for Integrity Servers Software Product Description (SPD 82.34.xx).

For more information about licensing terms and policies, contact your local HP sales office, or see the HP software licensing information at the following location:
