Using the Operating System Menu
The OpenVMS operating system main menu displays automatically when you boot the OpenVMS operating system from the operating system media (for instructions on how to boot from the operating system media, refer to Booting the OpenVMS I64 OE DVD). From the menu, you can choose options to perform any of the following tasks:
The following is a sample display of the OpenVMS main menu:
OpenVMS I64 Operating System, Version 8.2-1 (c) Copyright 1976-2005 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Installing required known files... Configuring devices... *************************************************************** You can install or upgrade the OpenVMS I64 operating system or you can install or upgrade layered products that are included on the OpenVMS I64 operating system CD/DVD. 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 I64 Version 8.2-1 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 Enter CHOICE or ? for help: (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/?)Review the following sections to understand how the menu works. You will then be prepared to choose appropriate menu options when you are asked to do so before, during, and after an installation or upgrade.
Using the Install,
Upgrade, or Reconfigure OpenVMS Option (1)
Select option 1 from the operating system main menu to install,
upgrade, or reconfigure your OpenVMS software. Selecting option
1 implements a POLYCENTER Software Installation (PCSI) utility concept
called a platform. The OpenVMS platform
contains:
Including the optional products in the OpenVMS platform allows you to install or upgrade these products along with the OpenVMS operating system.
When you choose to upgrade the system disk, and the OpenVMS software on the disk is the same version, you are given options to reinstall or to reconfigure the OpenVMS system or reconfigure the OpenVMS platform.
Before installing or upgrading OpenVMS, refer to the information in the following chapters, as appropriate:
 | Before installing or upgrading OpenVMS on a target drive in an OpenVMS Cluster, make sure the target system disk is not mounted elsewhere in the cluster. The target system disk must be dismounted clusterwide (except on the system from which the installation or upgrade is being performed) and must remain so during the installation or upgrade. |
There are two choices for Installation/Upgrade:
INITIALIZE - Removes all software and data files that were
previously on the target disk and installs OpenVMS I64.
PRESERVE -- Installs or upgrades OpenVMS I64 on the target disk
and retains all other contents of the target disk.
* Note: You cannot use PRESERVE to install OpenVMS I64 on a disk on
which any other operating system is installed. This includes
implementations of OpenVMS for other architectures.
Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE]
INITIALIZE Option
When you specify the INITIALIZE option, the following operations
take place:
Specify the INITIALIZE option and perform a full installation under any of the following conditions:
| During initialization of an OpenVMS I64 target system
disk, the installation process creates a diagnostic partition,
visible only at the console prompt. For more information about
this partition and options you can take, refer to
Alternative Ways to Initialize the System Disk. The installation procedure initializes the target disk with volume expansion (INITIALIZE/LIMIT). This renders the disk incompatible with versions of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2. In most cases, this does not present a problem. However, if you intend to mount the new disk on a version of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2, you must perform the alternate method of initialization described in Alternative Ways to Initialize the System Disk. Note that as a result of this alternate method, your new system disk might include a relatively large minimum allocation size (as defined by /CLUSTER_SIZE). As a result, small files will use more space than necessary. Therefore, perform these steps only for system disks that must be mounted on versions of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2. |
PRESERVE Option
When you specify the PRESERVE option, the following operations
take place:
| IF ... | THEN ... |
|---|---|
|
The OpenVMS operating system is not already
installed on the target disk
|
|
|
The
OpenVMS operating system is installed on the
target disk
|
The operating
system is upgraded, as follows:
|
| If you intend to choose the PRESERVE option (because there are certain files on the disk that you want to retain), HP recommends that you first make a backup copy of your system disk. If there is any problem during the installation or upgrade that might affect the integrity of the disk, you will have the backup copy as a safeguard. |
Using the Display
Products and Patches Option (2)
When you select option 2 from the operating system main menu,
the following information is displayed:
The following versions of the OpenVMS operating system, required components, and optional products are available on the OpenVMS Distribution media. They can be installed by selecting choice 1: HP I64VMS VMS version V8.2-1 HP I64VMS AVAIL_MAN_BASE V8.2-1 HP I64VMS CDSA version V2.1-nn HP I64VMS KERBEROS version V2.1-nn HP I64VMS TDC_RT V2.1-nn HP I64VMS DWMOTIF version V1.5 HP I64VMS DECNET_PLUS version V8.2-1 HP I64VMS DECNET_PHASE_IV version V8.2-1 HP I64VMS TCPIP version V5.5-nn The following Layered Product kits are available on the OpenVMS Distribution media (CD/DVD).

Using the Install
or Upgrade Layered Products Option (3)
Use option 3 of the operating system main menu for normal
installations or upgrades of the layered products. Note that you
can install or upgrade the DECwindows graphical user interface and
HP networking products along with the OpenVMS operating system by
selecting option 1 from the main menu.
When you select option 3, the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility allows you to choose whether to install layered products or to register layered products that are on the target disk but are not in the Product Database. If you attempt to reinstall the same version of a product that is already installed, the product is reinstalled. Note that any patches that were applied to the product are removed. If you want to reconfigure, select the reconfigure option (5) from the main menu.
As shown in the following example, you are also prompted for a target disk and asked whether you want brief or detailed descriptions. The procedure presents a list of products and allows you to select any or all of these products. Alternatively, you can exit without installing or upgrading any products. (This particular example includes notes about installing DECwindows Motif and DECnet.)
| The layered products listed include CDSA, Kerberos,
TDC, and Availability Manager, which are required, and DECwindows,
DECnet Phase IV, DECnet-Plus, and TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, which
are optional. You can install (or upgrade to) the new implementation of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (Version 5.5) as part of the OpenVMS upgrade. If you want to install Version 5.5 separately, choose the following product (option 5 in the example that follows): HP I64VMS TCPIP V5.5 |

| When you boot the OpenVMS operating system DVD and select the option to install layered products, that installation procedure does not run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) for layered products. Because the operating system is booted from the DVD and the layered products are installed on a different device (the target drive), the IVPs cannot execute correctly. However, you can run the IVP for each layered product after you boot the target system (refer to the layered product installation documents for information about running the IVP). |
Using the Show Installed
Products Option (4)
Use option 4 of the operating system main menu to display
a list of products that have been installed on a selected target
disk by the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. Products
that were installed by VMSINSTAL or other installation methods will
not appear in this display unless they have been registered in the
POLYCENTER Software Installation utility's product database.
The following is a sample display of the prompts and information that appear when you select option 4:
You must enter the device name for the system disk for which you want to display installed products. If you enter an invalid device or one which is not a system disk an error will coccur.

Using the Reconfigure
Installed Products Option (5)
Use option 5 to reconfigure layered products, including the
DECwindows graphical user interface and HP networking products.
This allows you to change the product choices you made during a
previous installation or upgrade.
You can reconfigure a product only if all of the following conditions are true:
When you select option 5 of the operating system main menu, the procedure prompts you for a target disk name and asks whether you want brief or detailed descriptions about the reconfiguration options. The procedure then lists the products you can configure. You can select any or all of these products, or you can exit without reconfiguring products.

Using the Remove
Installed Products Option (6)
Option 6 allows you to remove products that were installed
or registered with the POLYCENTER Software Installation (PCSI) utility.
 | Do not remove the system-integrated products (SIPs): Availability Manager, CDSA, Kerberos, and the Performance Data Collector base software (TDC_RT). These products are tightly bound with the operating system. Attempts to remove any of these products will not work cleanly and could create undesirable side effects. |
| When you remove a product that was registered using a transition kit (in other words, a product that has been installed using VMSINSTAL or some method other than PCSI), some of the product's directories, files, or other objects are not removed. Transition kits typically do not contain all the directories, files, and other objects that make up the product. |
When you select option 6, you are prompted for a target disk name and whether you want brief or detailed descriptions about the remove options. The procedure then lists the products you can remove. You can select any or all of these products, or you can exit without removing any products.

Using the Execute
DCL Option (7)
When you select option 7, you get access to a subset of DCL
commands (such as SHOW DEVICE, MOUNT, and BACKUP) to perform specific
preinstallation and maintenance operations. Note, however, that
this is a restricted DCL environment in that certain DCL commands
(such as PRODUCT) and certain utilities (such as VMSINSTAL) will
not function as expected because you are booting from read-only
or write-locked media, and because a full system startup has not
been performed.
A triple dollar sign prompt ($$$) indicates that you are in this restricted DCL environment, as shown in the following example:
To exit the DCL environment and return to the main menu, enter the LOGOUT command.$$$SHOW DEVICE
Using the Shut Down
Option (8)
When you select option 8 from the operating system main menu,
your system shuts down and you are returned to the console prompt
(P00>>>). The system displays a message
similar to the following:
Shutting down the system SYSTEM SHUTDOWN COMPLETE **** Primary HALTED with code HWRPB_HALT$K_REMAIN_HALTED **** Hit any key to cold reboot **** P00>>>
