You can use the menu system included on the operating system
CD-ROM to install certain layered products with the POLYCENTER Software
Installation utility. If you did not install those layered products
previously during the installation procedure, you can do so using
the following procedure. To install layered products that require
VMSINSTAL, see
Alternate Procedure.
To use this procedure, the target system must have the
exact same version of the OpenVMS Alpha operating system as the
CD-ROM. If you need to install layered products on a target system
that has a different version of the operating
system, use the alternate procedure described in
Alternate Procedure.
Boot the operating system CD-ROM (locally or from
the InfoServer).
Choose option 2 from the menu to view which layered
products can be installed using the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility.
Choose option 3 from the menu to install the layered
products.
Shut down the system by selecting option 8 from
the menu.
Boot from the system disk.
If the layered product that you want to install is not listed
in the display, see the documentation you received with that layered
product for installation information.
For additional information about installing layered products,
see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
Be sure you back up the system disk after you install all
your layered products.
HP does not support PRODUCT INSTALL and other PRODUCT
commands from the DCL option on the operating system CD-ROM. Not
all products can be installed when booted from the CD-ROM. Those
that can be installed in this manner require special considerations.
If products do not appear in the layered products menu as described
in the preceding steps in this section, please use the alternative
procedure described below, or refer to the installation documentation
for the specific product.
Alternate Procedure Following is another method for installing layered products
from the OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM:
From your running
OpenVMS system (the target system disk), mount the OpenVMS Alpha
operating system CD-ROM.
$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA400
Locate the directories and files containing the
available layered products by entering the following command (where,
in the example, DKA400: is the device name of the CD-ROM):
$ DIRECTORY /NOHEAD/NOTRAIL DKA400:[*.KIT]
You can use the PRODUCT FIND command to locate kits that are
installed using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. For
example:
$ PRODUCT FIND * /SOURCE=DKA400:[*.KIT]
To install layered products that require VMSINSTAL
(indicated in the directories by save-set file names with file types
of .A, .B, and so on), enter the @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL command and
then specify the CD-ROM device and directory. For example:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL* Where will the distribution volumes be mounted:DKA400:[DIAA032.KIT]
To install layered products that require the POLYCENTER
Software Installation utility (indicated in the directories by file
names with file types of .PCSI or .PCSI$DESCRIPTION), use the PRODUCT
INSTALL command to specify the CD-ROM device name and directory.
Following is an example of the PRODUCT INSTALL command:
