Completing the Upgrade 



The following sections describe the remaining steps that you need to perform to complete the upgrade.

Choosing Descriptive Help Text  

The system next prompts you as follows:

     The installation operation can provide brief or detailed descriptions.
     In either case, you can request the detailed descriptions by typing "?".
 
Do you always want detailed descriptions? (Yes/No) [No]  
If you answer YES, the system will display additional explanatory text with each prompt.

Saving Archived Files  

By default, the OpenVMS upgrade deletes files that were archived as filename.extension_OLD by OpenVMS remedial kits. If you do not want to delete these files, you can save them by taking one of the following steps:

  1. When the script asks if you want the defaults for all options, answer NO. (This script is shown in the example in Selecting Components.) Step through the options and deselect the option to delete files archived by remedial kits. This will save all such files.
  2. Before beginning the upgrade, rename any _OLD files that you want to save. Files that you do not rename will be deleted.

Note that the upgrade will not delete all files with an extension ending in _OLD. Only those _OLD files that were archived by OpenVMS remedial kits will be deleted.


NoteOpenVMS patches save these _OLD files in VMS$REMEDIAL_OLD_FILES.TXT. All files listed in this file are supposed to have the _OLD extension appended to their names; however, some patch kits have added the files without this extension. If the upgrade procedure detects files without the appended _OLD extension, it will display a message similar to the following:
%UPGRADE-I-FIXUP, appending _OLD to file names in PCSI$DESTINATION:[SYSUPD] VMS$REMEDIAL_OLD_FILES.TXT 
	[SYSUPD]VMSKITBLD.DAT
	[SYSHLP]XFC$SDA.HLP
	[SYS$LDR]SYSTEM_SYNCHRONIZATION.EXE-OLD
	[SYS$LDR]SYS$XFCACHE.DSF
	[SYS$LDR]SHELL9K.EXE_STB
	[000000]DEC-AXPVMS-VMS-V0703-1-2.PCSI$DESCRIPTION

Selecting Components  

As you begin the upgrade procedure, the system asks if you want all the default values, meaning all the files and subgroups of files for each component included in the operating system. The display is similar to the following:

The following product has been selected:
     DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3-2       Platform (product suite) 
 
 
Configuration phase starting ...
 
You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and 
for any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency 
requirements.

    COPYRIGHT 1976, 27-JUN-2003 
    Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
 
Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES] YES
 
    CDSA for OpenVMS Alpha (required part of OpenVMS)
 
    KERBEROS for OpenVMS Alpha (required part of OpenVMS)
 
    DEC AXPVMS DWMOTIF V1.3-1: DECwindows Motif
      If a Local Language Variant is installed, refer to the Installation
      Guide.
 
      Do you want to continue? [YES] 
During an upgrade, the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility defines "default values" as the values that you selected when you last installed or upgraded the OpenVMS Alpha operating system on your system. Therefore, before you respond to the prompt, note the following:

When selecting components, note the following as well:


NoteUnless you have specific reasons to do otherwise, HP recommends that you accept the defaults and install all OpenVMS options. OpenVMS and layered products have various dependencies on many of these options. Even if you think you do not need certain options, some OpenVMS or layered product operations might not work correctly if other OpenVMS options are not installed.

For a complete list of components included with the OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 operating system, see List of Components Included with the Operating System.

Final Upgrade Procedure Messages  

When you have answered all the prompts and selected the components you want installed, the system allows you to review your selections (and make changes if necessary) and then displays messages about the following:

The following is a sample display.


NoteIf you perform two installations at the same time to systems connected via MEMORY CHANNEL, you might see a message similar to the following every 5 seconds:
%PMA0 CPU00: 30-MAY-2003 14:58:40 Remote System Conflicts with 
Known System - REMOTE NODE
%PMA0 CPU00: 30-MAY-2003 14:58:45 Remote System Conflicts with 
Known System - REMOTE NODE
Disregard the message. The installation or upgrade will proceed normally and the messages will not be present when the system reboots with its real node name.

Do you want to review the options? [NO] NO

      Configure the OpenVMS Kerberos clients & servers 
 
      If Kerberos will be in use on this system
      and a current Kerberos configuration will
      not be used, please take the time to run 
      the following command after the installation
      has completed (and after rebooting the system
      if this is an OpenVMS Installation or Upgrade):
      
          @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$CONFIGURE.COM
      
      After configuration, two system files need to
      be modified. The following line should be
      added to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP.COM
 
             $ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$STARTUP
 
      The following line must be added to
      SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM
 
           
            $ @SYS$MANAGER:KRB$SYMBOLS
 
      The Kerberos 5 V2.0 documentation has been
      provided as it was received from MIT.  This 
      documentation may differ slightly from the 
      OpenVMS Kerberos implementation as it describes 
      the Kerberos implementation in a Unix environment.

      System reboot is required.
 
      If using a language variant, reboot after upgrade of language variant.
 
      Installation Verification Procedure can be run after reboot.    
 
    The upgrade is now complete.
 
    When the newly upgraded system is first booted, a special
    startup procedure will be run.  This procedure will:
 
        o  Run AUTOGEN to set system parameters.
        o  Reboot the system with the newly set parameters.
 
    You may shut down now or continue with other operations.

    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

Installing Layered Products or Shutting Down the System  

If you want to install layered products, you can use the menu system included on the operating system CD-ROM, as explained in Using the Install or Upgrade Layered Products Option (3). For layered products requiring VMSINSTAL, the section Alternate Procedure gives an alternate procedure.

If you do not want to install layered products or perform any other operations prior to booting the upgraded disk, do the following:

  1. Shut down the system by choosing the shutdown option (8) from the menu.
  2. Go to What to Do After the Shutdown.
