Installing and Configuring
Layered Products (New Installations, Possibly Upgrades)
The OpenVMS operating system kits include kits for layered
products. These include the system-integrated product
(SIP) kits for the following products that are, or can
be, installed as part of the OpenVMS operating system installation:
Availability Manager (base)
for OpenVMS (required)
CDSA for OpenVMS (required)
Kerberos for OpenVMS (required)
Performance Data Collector
base software, TDC_RT (required)
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS
DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS
HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
Other layered products such as the Advanced Server for OpenVMS,
programming languages, database software, and accounting software
are not provided with the operating system CD or DVD. If these or
any of the layered products included with the operating system CD
or DVD were not installed during the installation (or upgrade),
you can install them separately by using option 3 of the main menu
of the OpenVMS operating system CD or DVD. Alternatively, you can
install these products using the procedure described in
Alternative Procedure.
In addition to the system integrated products (SIPs), the
OpenVMS I64 Operating Environment DVD includes kits for various
products that are part of the OpenVMS Operating Environments (OEs).
HP does not support installing these OE product kits while booted
from the Operating Environment DVD. To install these OE products,
you must use the procedure described in
Alternative Procedure.
To use menu option 3, the target system must have
the exact same version of the OpenVMS operating system as does the
CD or DVD. If you need to install layered products on a target system
that has a different version of the operating system, use the alternative procedure.
To use menu option 3 of the operating system CD or DVD, follow
these steps:
Before
you install all your layered products, be sure you back up the system
disk.
If you are not already booted from the operating
system CD or DVD (locally or, for Alpha systems, from the InfoServer),
shut down the system and boot the operating system CD or DVD. Directions
for shutting down the system are included in
Halt, Boot, and Shutdown Procedures for OpenVMS Alpha Systems (they apply to both OpenVMS Alpha and I64 systems).
If you want to view a list of products that can
be installed, choose option 2 from the menu. If the layered product
that you want to install is not listed in the display, install the
product by using the alternative procedure described in
Alternative Procedure or refer to the documentation
you received with the layered product. Note that HP does not support
VMSINSTAL, PRODUCT INSTALL, or other PRODUCT commands from the DCL
option on the operating system CD or DVD.
After the installation completes, shut down the
system by selecting option 8 from the menu. When you boot the target
system, the layered products you installed will be present.
For additional information about installing layered products,
refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
Alternative Procedure Use this alternative procedure to install:
Layered products on a target
system that has a different operating system version than that of
the operating system CD or DVD.
Layered products that require
VMSINSTAL (indicated in the directories by save-set file names with
file types of .A, .B, and so on)
OpenVMS I64 Operating Environment
products
SIP kits (as an alternative
to using menu option 3 of the operating system CD or DVD).
Products on the Layered Products,
Freeware, System Tools, and e-Business Infrastructure CDs
For a list of layered products that can be installed, refer
to the Guide to HP OpenVMS Version 8.2 Media
, which
is provided with the operating system media kit. Note that some
products require a license key (PAK) from HP.
Follow these steps:
Before
you install all your layered products, be sure you back up the system
disk. In addition, ensure that a license has been loaded for the
software. Note also that most layered products require changes to SYSGEN
parameters or AUTHORIZE values, and to system files such as SYLOGICALS.COM, SYLOGIN.COM,
and SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM. For more information, refer to the following:
The
installation guides for these layered products
The HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
After your target system disk has run AUTOGEN and
booted, mount the OpenVMS operating system CD or DVD. For example,
if the CD or DVD device is DKA400, use the following command:
$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA400
Locate the directories and files containing the
available layered products. For example, if the CD or DVD device
is DKA400:, enter the following command:
$ DIRECTORY /NOHEAD/NOTRAIL DKA400:[*.KIT]
You can use the PRODUCT FIND command to locate kits that can
be 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 or DVD device and directory at the prompt. For
example:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL* Where will the distribution volumes be mounted:DKA400:[DIAA032.KIT]
To install layered products that require the POLYCENTER Software
Installation utility (indicated in the directories by file names
with file types of .PCSI or .PCSI$COMPRESSED), use the PRODUCT INSTALL command
to specify the CD or DVD device name and directory. Following is
an example of the PRODUCT INSTALL command on an Alpha system:
