HP OpenVMS 8.x manual

You may install any of the optional software products separately after the OpenVMS installation completes.

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.

The OpenVMS installation menu offers the choice to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS or DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS networking software. You cannot have both installed on your system at the same time. You can also choose to install neither DECnet product; however, certain products that depend on DECnet might be adversely affected.

If you have installed DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP on your system, you can run DECnet applications over your TCP/IP network. For more information about DECnet over TCP/IP, see the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Network Management manual.

The software products display is similar to the following:

Beginning with OpenVMS V7.1, the DECnet-Plus kit is provided with the OpenVMS operating system kit. HP strongly recommends that DECnet users install DECnet-Plus. DECnet Phase IV applications are supported by DECnet-Plus.

DECnet Phase IV is also provided as an option.

If you install DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP you can run DECnet applications over a TCP/IP network. Please see the OpenVMS Management Guide for information on running DECnet over TCP/IP.

Do you want to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS I64 V8.3-1H1? (Yes/No) [YES]

If you answer NO to the DECnet-Plus prompt, you are prompted to install DECnet Phase IV:

Do you want to install DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS I64 V8.3-1H1? (Yes/No) [Yes]

Finally, you are asked whether you want to install TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS:

Do you want to install HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS V5.6? (Yes/No) [Yes] Y
