Running AUTOGEN  



The system runs AUTOGEN to evaluate your hardware configuration and estimate typical work loads. 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 SYSGEN 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
            Configuring DECnet
            Using SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM to create an OpenVMS Cluster
            Creating FIELD, SYSTEST, and SYSTEST_CLIG accounts if needed
