HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Running Autogen, Rebooting After Autogen

3.6 Running AUTOGEN

At this point, the system automatically runs AUTOGEN to evaluate your hardware configuration and estimate typical workloads. AUTOGEN then sets system parameters, the sizes of page, swap, and dump files, and the contents of VMSIMAGES.DAT. When AUTOGEN finishes and your system reboots, the installation procedure is complete.

The installation procedure displays messages similar to the following:

AUTOGEN will now be run to compute the new system parameters. The system will then shut down and reboot, and the installation or upgrade will be complete.

After rebooting you can continue with such system management tasks as:

Decompressing the System Libraries (not necessary on OpenVMS I64)

Configuring networking software (TCP/IP Services, DECnet, other)

Using SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM to create an OpenVMS Cluster

Creating FIELD, SYSTEST, and SYSTEST_CLIG accounts if needed
