Using the Operating System CD-ROM Menu
The OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM main menu displays automatically when you boot the OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM. From this menu, you can choose options to perform any of the following tasks:
The following is a sample display of the CD-ROM main menu:
OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version 7.3-2
(c) Copyright 1976-2003 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
Installing required known files...
Configuring devices...
***************************************************************
You can install or upgrade the OpenVMS Alpha operating system
or you can install or upgrade layered products that are included
on the OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM.
You can also execute DCL commands and procedures to perform
"standalone" tasks, such as backing up the system disk.
Please choose one of the following:
1) Upgrade, install or reconfigure OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2
2) Display products and patches that this procedure can install
3) Install or upgrade layered products and patches
4) Show installed products
5) Reconfigure installed products
6) Remove installed products
7) Execute DCL commands and procedures
8) Shut down this system
Enter CHOICE or ? for help: (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/?)Review the following sections to understand how the menu works.
You will then be prepared to choose appropriate menu options when
you are asked to do so before, during, and after an installation
or upgrade.
Using the Install,
Upgrade, or Reconfigure OpenVMS Option (1)
Select option 1 from the CD-ROM main menu to install, upgrade,
or reconfigure your OpenVMS Alpha software. Selecting option 1 implements
a POLYCENTER Software Installation (PCSI) utility concept called a platform.
The OpenVMS Alpha platform contains the OpenVMS Alpha operating
system, plus options for certain other products, including the optional
DECwindows Motif, DECnet-Plus, DECnet Phase IV, TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS products, and the required Kerberos and Common
Data Security Architecture (CDSA) products. Including
these products in the OpenVMS Alpha platform allows you to install
or upgrade these products along with the OpenVMS Alpha operating
system. When you choose to upgrade the system disk, and the OpenVMS
software on the disk is the same version, then you are given options
to re-install or reconfigure the OpenVMS system or reconfigure the
OpenVMS platform.
You can look at the platform Product Definition File (PDF) itself. This file is located in [VMS$COMMON] on the OpenVMS operating system CD-ROM. The file has a name similar to DEC-AXPVMS-OVMS-Vnnnn-n.PCSI$DESCRIPTION, where the variables indicate the version number.
After you select which of the optional products you want to install, information is retained in the database maintained by the PCSI utility. This information allows future OpenVMS upgrades to present the choices made in this installation as defaults to be used in an upgrade or reconfiguration.
When you select option 1 from the CD-ROM main menu, the system asks whether you want to preserve or initialize the system disk. The display is similar to the following:
There are two choices for Installation/Upgrade:
INITIALIZE - Removes all software and data files that were
previously on the target disk and installs OpenVMS Alpha.
PRESERVE -- Installs or upgrades OpenVMS Alpha on the target disk
and retains all other contents of the target disk.
* Note: You cannot use PRESERVE to install OpenVMS Alpha on a disk on
which OpenVMS VAX or any other operating system is installed.
Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE]
INITIALIZE Option
When you specify the INITIALIZE option, the following operations
take place:
Specify the INITIALIZE option and perform a full installation under the following conditions:

system is upgraded, as follows:
|
 | If you intend to choose the PRESERVE option (because there are certain files on the disk that you want to retain), HP recommends that you first make a backup copy of your system disk. If there is any problem during the installation or upgrade that might affect the integrity of the disk, you will have the backup copy as a safeguard. |

Using the Display
Products and Patches Option (2)
When you select option 2 from the CD-ROM main menu, the following
information is displayed:
The following versions of the OpenVMS operating system,
required components, and optional products

Using the Install
or Upgrade Layered Products Option (3)
Use option 3 of the CD-ROM main menu for normal installations
or upgrades of the layered products. Note that you can install or
upgrade the DECwindows graphical user interface and HP networking
products along with the OpenVMS operating system by selecting the
install or upgrade option 1 from the main menu.
When you select the layered products option (3), the POLYCENTER Software Installation 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 will be reinstalled. If you want to reconfigure, select the reconfigure option (5) from the main menu.
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.
| The layered products listed include CDSA and Kerberos,
which are required, and DECnet Phase IV, DECnet-Plus, and TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS, which are optional. You can install (or upgrade to) the new implementation of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, Version 5.4, as part of the OpenVMS upgrade. If you want to install Version 5.4 separately, choose the product: DEC AXPVMS TCPIP V5.4 |

| When you boot the OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM and select the option to install layered products, that installation procedure does not run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) for layered products. Because the operating system is booted from the CD-ROM and the layered products are installed on a different device (the target drive), the IVPs cannot execute correctly. However, you can run the IVP for each layered product after you boot the target system (see the layered product installation documents for information on running the IVP). |
Using the Show Installed

Using the Execute DCL Option (7)
When you select option 7 from the CD-ROM main menu, you can
use a subset of DCL commands (such as SHOW
DEVICE, MOUNT, and BACKUP) to perform specific preinstallation and
maintenance operations. Note, however, that this is a restricted
DCL environment in that certain DCL commands (such as PRODUCT) and
certain utilities (such as VMSINSTAL) will not function as expected
because you are booting from read-only or write-locked media and
because the full system startup is not performed.
A triple dollar sign system prompt ($$$) indicates that you are in this restricted DCL environment, as shown in the following example:
To exit from the DCL environment and return to the main menu, enter the LOGOUT command.$$$SHOW DEVICE
Using the Shut
