Upgrading the System
Using Option 1 of the Operating System CD-ROM Menu
After you boot the operating system CD-ROM, choose the upgrade
option (1) from the menu displayed on the screen. The display is
similar to the following:
The OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM might contain patch kits. If it does, information similar to the following is displayed:OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version 7.3-2 Installing required known files... Configuring devices...

all of these patches may be required for your system.
Choosing INITIALIZE
or PRESERVE
After you choose the upgrade option, the system displays the
following information and prompts:
***********************************************************
The installation procedure will ask a series of questions.
() - encloses acceptable answers
[] - encloses default answers
Type your response and press the <Return>key. Type:
? - to repeat an explanation
^ - to change prior input (not always possible)
Ctrl/Y - to exit the installation procedure
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]) For an upgrade, press the Return key to accept the default
(PRESERVE).
Specifying the Target
Disk
Next, the procedure asks you for the name of the target disk.
If you enter a question mark (?), the system displays a list of
devices on your system. Select the appropriate disk and respond
to the prompt. For example:
If you select a device that is not available or that cannot be used for some other reason, the system displays information indicating why the device cannot be used. For example, if you enter MKA500, a tape device, a message similar to the following is displayed:You must enter the device name for the target disk on which OpenVMS Alpha will be installed. Enter device name for target disk: (? for choices)DKB400
MKA500 is not a disk deviceIf you select a device that can be used, the system then informs you of the volume label currently assigned to this device and asks if you want to keep that label. As shown in the following example, if you choose not to keep that label, you are prompted for a new label. The OpenVMS operating system uses the volume label to identify and reference the disk. Make sure the label you use is unique; problems occur if the same label is used by different disk volumes.
DKB400: is now labeled ASPVMS732.
Do you want to keep this label? (Yes/No) [Yes]NOEnter volume label for target system disk: [ALPHASYS]
Checking
for Recovery Data
If you specify the /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier with the
PRODUCT INSTALL command, the POLYCENTER Software Installation (PCSI)
utility will save information that can be used to remove patches and
mandatory update kits at a later time. Use the PRODUCT UNDO PATCH
command to remove the patches and kits. The /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA
qualifier and PRODUCT UNDO PATCH command were added in OpenVMS Alpha
Version 7.3-2 and backported to OpenVMS for Alpha Version 7.2-2,
7.3, and 7.3-1.
The upgrade procedure now checks the disk for recovery data saved by the PCSI utility. Any recovery data has to be removed before the upgrade can continue, because this data would become invalid after the upgrade. If no recovery data is present, the upgrade continues. If recovery data is present, and all the data found applies only to the OpenVMS operating system, the upgrade procedure deletes the data and continues. If any of the recovery data applies to products other than the OpenVMS operating system, then the upgrade procedure displays a message similar to the following:
The target system has recovery data from PRODUCT operations which
used the /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier. This data must be deleted
to continue the OpenVMS upgrade.
Please examine the following display.
If you wish to delete this data and continue the OpenVMS upgrade,
answer YES to the question "Do you want to continue?"
If you do not wish to delete this data, answer NO. A NO answer
will preserve the recovery data and abort the OpenVMS upgrade.
The following patch recovery data has been selected:
RECOVERY DATA SET 001 created 22-JUL-2003 15:23:39.69
-------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
PATCH APPLIED TO
-------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
JAK VMS RM1 V1.0 JAK VMS RMTEST V1.0
-------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
* If you continue, recovery data for the patches listed above will be deleted.
* The deletion of recovery data does not affect the installation status of
* patches applied to products that are not participating in this operation.
* However, continuing with this operation prevents you from uninstalling
* these patches at a future time by use of the PRODUCT UNDO PATCH command.
Do you want to continue? [YES]If you answer YES (the default) the recovery data sets are
deleted and the OpenVMS upgrade continues.Do you want to continue? [YES] Deleting RECOVERY DATA SET 002 ... Deleting RECOVERY DATA SET 001 ...If you answer NO the recovery data sets are not deleted and the OpenVMS upgrade aborts.
Do you want to continue? [YES] NO
%PCSIUI-I-USERABORT, operation terminated by user request
You chose to retain recovery data on the target system disk.
The OpenVMS upgrade cannot continue.
Please corect the situation the prevents you from deleting the
recovery data and then retry the upgrade.
Specifying the Volume
Label
You can accept the default label assigned by the system (AXPVMSSYS)
or specify a different volume label (with a limit of 12 characters
that can include the A to Z, 0 through 9, and optionally, the dollar
sign ($), hyphen (-), and underscore(_) characters).
 | HP strongly recommends that the volume labels for all disks on your system or OpenVMS Cluster have unique labels. If a disk that has the same label as the system disk is mounted, various OpenVMS components will not function as intended. |
Specifying the On-Disk Structure Level
If the target disk is currently initialized with On-Disk Structure
Level 2 (ODS-2), you now have the option to convert the disk to
On-Disk structure Level 5 (ODS-5).
For details about ODS-2 and ODS-5 file systems, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials. A brief summary follows:
 | ODS-5 supports file names that are longer and have a wider range of legal characters. This feature permits use of file names similar to those in a Windows or UNIX environment. |
| ODS-5 supports hard links to files, access dates, and files whose names differ only by case. |
| ODS-5 volumes cannot be mounted on any version of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2. |
| Systems running OpenVMS VAX Version 7.2 and later can mount ODS-5 volumes, but cannot create or access files having extended names. (Lowercase file name characters are seen in uppercase on OpenVMS VAX systems.) |
The target system disk is currently at On-Disk Structure Level 2
(ODS-2). It can be converted to On-Disk Structure Level 5 (ODS-5).
(? for more information)If you choose not to change to ODS-5, the upgrade continues.
The target disk is mounted and page and swap files are created.
For example: If you choose to change to ODS-5, you will be given the option to enable hard links. For more information about hard links, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials. The upgrade will then continue.Do you want to convert the target system disk to ODS-5? (Yes/No/?)NOOpenVMS Alpha will be upgraded on DKB400:.
If you choose to enable hard links, the procedure automatically executes an ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE/REPAIR operation to correctly set the reference counts. This operation can take 5 to 10 minutes to an hour or more, depending on the complexity of the system disk configuration, the number of layered products installed, and the number of user files. When the process completes, a message similar to the following is displayed:Do you want to convert the target system disk to ODS-5? (Yes/No/?)YESDKB400: has been converted to ODS-5. You can use the BACKUP/CONVERT command to convert ODS-5 disks back to ODS-2 format. For more information, refer to the OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual. Hard links can be enabled on ODS-5 disks. (? for more information) (***Enabling hard links can take from 5-10 minutes to an hour or more.***) Do you want to enable hard links? (Yes/No/?)YES
Hard links have been enabled on DKB400:.
The newly enabled hard links are not correct and need to be updated.
The Analyze/Disk_Structure utility will now be run to do this.
This can take from 5 - 10 minutes to an hour or more. It is a normal
requirement when hard links are enabled on an existing disk.
%ANALDISK-I-COUNT, 1000 hard link updates completed
%ANALDISK-I-COUNT, 2000 hard link updates completed
%ANALDISK-I-COUNT, 3000 hard link updates completed
%ANALDISK-I-COUNT, 4000 hard link updates completed
%ANALDISK-I-COUNT, 5000 hard link updates completed
%ANALDISK-I-COUNT, 6000 hard link updates completed
OpenVMS Alpha will be upgraded on DKB400:.
Checking Related
Software
At this point the upgrade performs checks of some related
software products.
DECamds
Beginning with OpenVMS Version 7.3 and DECamds Version 7.3,
certain parts of DECamds that were previously supplied with the
layered product kit are now incorporated into OpenVMS. Because of
this, prior versions of DECamds must be removed.
If the upgrade procedure detects a prior version of DECamds, it will display the following message and automatically remove the prior version of DECamds. Note that you must reinstall DECamds if you want to continue using it.
The target system contains a version of DECamds that is not
compatible with this version of the operating system.
If you continue DECamds will be removed. A current version of
DECamds can be installed after the upgrade completes.
PATHWORKS
If PATHWORKS is installed on the system, OpenVMS Version 7.3-2
requires PATHWORKS Version V6.1 or higher. The installation determines
the PATHWORKS version and displays the following message if PATHWORKS
Version 5 or earlier is present:
PATHWORKS V5 is installed on the target system. This version of PATHWORKS will not work on OpenVMS V7.3-2. Before you upgrade OpenVMS you must either upgrade to a supported version of PATHWORKS or migrate to Advanced Server for OpenVMS. Please refer to the PATHWORKS or Advanced Server for OpenVMS installation guides for additional information. Do you want to continue? (Yes/No) [NO]The default is to terminate the upgrade. Take the default and upgrade PATHWORKS.
Advanced Server for
OpenVMS
If Advanced Server for OpenVMS is installed on the system,
OpenVMS Version 7.3-2 requires Advanced Server for OpenVMS Version
7.3 or higher.
If you plan to upgrade your OpenVMS system, and a version of Advanced Server for OpenVMS earlier than V7.3 is present, first upgrade Advanced Server for OpenVMS to the latest version before you upgrade the OpenVMS operating system.
Setting OpenVMS Cluster
Membership Information
The procedure now asks if your system will be part of an OpenVMS
Cluster. The display is similar to the following:
You should answer YES if the system will be an OpenVMS Galaxy instance or a member of an OpenVMS cluster. Unlike an installation, answering YES to this question will not cause SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM to be run. However, correct cluster membership information is required by the upgrade procedure. Your response to this question determines how the VAXCLUSTER system parameter will be set. (The parameter name "VAXCLUSTER" has been retained on OpenVMS Alpha systems.) For more information, see the Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations.Will this system be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster? (Yes/No)NO
Setting OpenVMS Galaxy
Information
The procedure next asks if your system will be an instance
in an OpenVMS Galaxy. The display is similar to the following:
If you answer YES to this question, and you also answered YES to the OpenVMS Cluster question, then information about required remedial kits is displayed. Your answer to this question determines how the system parameter GALAXY will be set.Will this system be an instance in an OpenVMS Galaxy? (Yes/No)NO
Updating Time Zone
Information
For local time zone support to work correctly, the time zone
that accurately describes the location you want to be considered
as your default time zone must be set. In addition, your system
must be correctly configured to use a valid OpenVMS time differential
factor (TDF).
If the installation procedure determines that time zone information is incomplete, it will prompt you to set the correct default time zone and TDF for your system. For details about setting the time zone information, see Selecting the Local Time Zone.
For more information about TDF and local time zone support, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.
Selecting Reinstallation
and Reconfiguration Options
If you are using the OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 CD-ROM and
have selected a target disk that already has Version 7.3-2 installed,
you are presented with several configuration options. A sample display
follows. See also the example in
Adding and Removing Operating System Files.
Version 7.3-2 of the OpenVMS operating system is already installed
on DKB400:.
Please choose one of the following:
1) Reconfigure the OpenVMS platform.
2) Reconfigure the OpenVMS operating system.
3) Reinstall the OpenVMS operating system.
4) Return to the Main Menu (abort the upgrade/installation).
Enter a "?" for more information.If you enter a question mark (?), the following information
displays:
o Reconfigure the OpenVMS platform.
This action will allow you to change your selections of which
products you installed along with the OpenVMS operating system
installation.
This will NOT change any options in the OpenVMS operating system,
nor will it reinstall any operating system files.
o Reconfigure the OpenVMS operating system.
This action will allow you to change your choices about which
options you included for the OpenVMS operating system.
This will NOT change any options for the products you installed
along with the OpenVMS operating system installation, nor will
it reinstall or upgrade any of them.
o Reinstall the OpenVMS operating system.
This action will cause ALL operating system files to be replaced.
You can also change your choices about which options you included
for the OpenVMS operating system.
This will NOT change any options for the products you installed
along with the OpenVMS operating system installation, nor will
it reinstall or upgrade any of them.
Reinstall will take longer than Reconfigure. Reinstall may be
appropriate if you suspect that files in the operating system,
or in the windowing and network products have become corrupted.
If you want to reinstall or upgrade any of the products you installed
along with the OpenVMS operating system installation, choose "Install
or upgrade layered products and patches" (option 3) from the main menu.
If you want to change your choices about which options you included
for any of the products you installed along with the OpenVMS operating
system installation, choose "Reconfigure installed products" (option 5)
from the main menu.
Next, the menu is then redisplayed:Please choose one of the following:
1) Reconfigure the OpenVMS platform.
2) Reconfigure the OpenVMS operating system.
3) Reinstall the OpenVMS operating system.
4) Return to the Main Menu (abort the upgrade/installation).
Enter choice or ? for help: (1/2/3/4/?)See
Adding and Removing Operating System Files for
additional configuration information.
Upgrading Windowing and Networking Products
The procedure now presents information about software that
you can install along with the OpenVMS operating system. Some of
this software is required, as noted; some is optional. The procedure
asks if you want to install the following HP windowing and networking
software products:
The software that you choose to install (including the required software) is included with the OpenVMS Alpha operating system. You can change the default values for these products later in the installation/upgrade procedure.
If you are upgrading DECnet, the procedure removes the existing version of DECnet during the upgrade.
The display is similar to the following:
If necessary, the following products will be upgraded along with
the OpenVMS operating system:
o CDSA for OpenVMS Alpha (required part of OpenVMS)
o KERBEROS for OpenVMS Alpha (required part of OpenVMS)
o DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha
o DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Alpha
o DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS Alpha
o HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
If you want to add or delete these products, you can do so later in
the upgrade by answering NO to the following question:
"Do you want the defaults for all product options?"
CDSA for OpenVMS Alpha (required part of OpenVMS)
is installed on your system. It will be upgraded.
KERBEROS for OpenVMS Alpha (required part of OpenVMS)
is installed on your system. It will be upgraded.
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha
is installed on your system. It will be upgraded.
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. Support for DECnet
Phase IV is available through a Prior Version Support Contract.
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. Some of the windowing and networking products might have versions installed that are earlier than the current versions, but which still work on OpenVMS Version 7.3-2. In this case, you will see a message similar to the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS message in the preceding example, indicating the software is already installed and asking whether you want to install the newer version. You can choose to keep the currently installed version, or to upgrade to the newer version supplied with OpenVMS Version 7.3-2. If you choose to keep the currently installed version, you should verify what level of support is available from HP for this version.Do you want to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-2? (Yes/No) [YES]YDECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS Alpha is installed on your system. It will be removed. V5.3-18 of HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is already installed. You can keep the installed version or upgrade to V5.4. Do you want to install HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS V5.4? (Yes/No) [YES]
Some windowing and networking products might have versions installed that do not work on OpenVMS Version 7.3-2. In this case, you are not given a choice to upgrade. The software will be upgraded automatically. For example, if the version of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS currently installed on your system does not work on OpenVMS Version 7.3-2, you will see a message similar to the following:
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
is installed on your system. It will be upgraded.
