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 displays 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:
When the script asks
whether you want the defaults for all options, answer NO. (This
script is shown in the example in
Selecting Product Component Options.) Step through the options and deselect the
option to delete files archived by remedial kits. This will save
all such files.
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.
OpenVMS patches save these _OLD files in VMS$REMEDIAL_OLD_FILES.TXT
in the SYS$UPDATE directory. 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 displays a
message similar to the following:
%UPGRADE-I-FIXUP, appending _OLD to file names in PCSI$DESTINATION:[SYSUPD] VMS$REMEDIAL_OLD_FILES.TXT

Selecting Product
Component Options As you begin the upgrade procedure, the system asks whether 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 V8.2 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.

Do you want the defaults for all options? [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:
If you answer YES (by pressing Return)
to accept the default values, you will receive the same components
that you selected when you last installed or upgraded the system
(instead of all the components currently available)
plus any new components that were not in the previous version of
the OpenVMS Alpha operating system.
If you want to include or exclude any components
differently from the last installation or upgrade, you must answer
NO and then respond to the prompts for each option,
even those that you are not changing.
If you want to review the current defaults first,
you can answer NO. Then answer YES when the system asks whether you
want to view the values. If you review the defaults and are satisfied, answer YES to
the prompt asking if you are satisfied with the values. However,
if you want to make changes, answer NO to that question and then
answer YES when the system asks whether you want to reenter the
values.
When selecting component options, note the following as well:
Whether you choose all the default
values or select individual files, the system will allow you to
view your selections and make changes (if necessary).
If you are not sure whether you want certain component options,
request help by entering a question mark (?) at the prompt for that
component (or group of components).
You should review the list of options and compare
them with the requirements for your procedure. If you are selecting
components individually, be sure that you include all components
necessary to support the needs of your users. Note also that certain
components depend upon the installation of other components.
OpenVMS Management Station software is automatically
installed on your OpenVMS system disk when you accept all the default
values. If you do not accept the default values, you must select
the OpenVMS Management Station component (server and client files)
if you plan to use that product. After the installation is complete,
you can then prepare your OpenVMS Alpha system and your PC to run OpenVMS
Management Station by following the procedures described in
Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station.
If you decide after the upgrade to change which
OpenVMS Alpha operating system components you want installed on
your system, you must reconfigure the installation as described
in
Adding and Removing Operating System Files (Optional).
After you boot the upgraded system disk and log
in, you can obtain information about individual system files by
entering HELP SYSTEM_FILES at the dollar sign prompt ($).
Unless 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.
If you answer YES to accept the defaults for all options,
the system displays a message similar to the following, the contents
of which depend on the products you chose to install. If you answer
NO, the system prompts you for each option and suboption.
You are installing the Performance Data Collector runtime environment
for use ONLY with Version 8.2 of OpenVMS on Alpha platforms.
Note that a full kit that provides runtime environments for all
OpenVMS configurations supported by the Performance Data Collector,
and that includes a Software Developers Kit, can be downloaded from

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:
Notification that DECwindows Motif
for OpenVMS, DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS, DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS,
or TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS has been upgraded (or installed)
on your system.
Notification that the upgrade has been completed.
Information about running AUTOGEN.
The menu.
The following is a sample display.
If 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-AUG-2004 14:58:40 Remote System Conflicts with
Known System - REMOTE NODE
%PMA0 CPU00: 30-AUG-2004 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
