3.4 Installing the OpenVMS Operating System on to a System Disk
After booting the operating system media, you
can create an operating system disk by using option 1 of the menu
provided by the operating system media. The procedure for installing
an OpenVMS Integrity servers system is similar to that for installing
OpenVMS Alpha operating systems. Exceptions are summarized in Section 3.4.1 and are noted in the
installation instructions in Section 3.4.3.
3.4.1 Differences Between OpenVMS Integrity servers and Alpha Installations
If you are unfamiliar
with OpenVMS Alpha installations, skip to the next section.
If you have not installed an OpenVMS Integrity servers system
before and are familiar with OpenVMS Alpha installations, the main
differences between installations of these two systems onto a system
disk include the following:
Output from the installation procedure is nearly identical
for both Alpha and Integrity servers except, of course, the operating
system names as well as names of products included with the installation.
For example, the OpenVMS Integrity servers windowing and networking
product names are all displayed as HP I64VMS product-name, such as HP I64VMS KERBEROS, while OpenVMS Alpha product names are
displayed in any of three different ways, depending on the product
and version:
HP product-name, such as
HP AXPVMS KERBEROS
DEC product-name, such
as DEC AXPVMS DWMOTIF
CPQ product-name, such
as CPQ AXPVMS CDSA
The default target system disk and volume labels are
unique for each system.
The OpenVMS Integrity servers procedure does not ask
whether your system will be an instance in an OpenVMS Galaxy; OpenVMS
Integrity servers does not support OpenVMS Galaxy.
The OpenVMS Alpha operating system includes several
components that are not included with the OpenVMS Integrity servers,
such as C Object Libraries and software support for translating images.
When installing OpenVMS Integrity servers onto the
system disk the first time, you are advised to set up the system with
a boot option for the system disk (and to set it as the default boot
device); you can allow the installation procedure to assist you in
setting up and validating a boot entry. Whereas on Alpha systems
you can configure boot devices only by shutting down the system and
entering commands at the console, on Integrity server systems you
can configure boot devices either before you shut down the system
(using the installation procedure or, once OpenVMS is running, using
the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager utility) or after you shut
down the system (using EFI Utilities for OpenVMS or EFI itself).
For OpenVMS Integrity servers,
when you install the
operating system by booting from the distribution media, the PCSI
utility uses the following to validate the kits that were signed:
Prior to Version 8.4 - Secure
Delivery component of CDSA
From Version 8.4 onwards -HPBinarychecker
For OpenVMS Alpha, such validation
is not performed when installing the operating system from the distribution
media (CD). (Because of limitations of the OpenVMS Alpha CD boot environment,
CDSA is not present on the distribution CD in usable form.) On both
OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity server systems, signed PCSI kits that you install subsequently
(including signed kits on the distribution media) are validated.
In addition, on both OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS
Integrity server systems, the DCL command PRODUCT SHOW HISTORY
displays the validation status of installed products and identifies
those that were installed from unsigned kits or were installed prior
to the availability of the Secure Delivery functionality.
3.4.2 Responding to Prompts During Installation
At different points during the installation, you must
respond to prompts that ask you to supply specific information. This
manual and the help text available during the installation procedure
tell you how to obtain most of this information and how to make decisions
when responding to specific prompts.
To repeat an explanation provided by the installation
procedure, type a question mark (?) at the prompt. To change or correct
a response made to an earlier question, enter the caret (^) character
as many times as needed. Entering this character might take you
back more than one question. To return to the main menu, press Ctrl/Y, which aborts the installation.
HP recommends that you review the following summary
before you begin the installation so that you understand beforehand
the types of information you need to provide.
During the installation, the procedure prompts
you for the following information:
The name of the target
drive, and the LAN device (if booting is served by an InfoServer).
Whether you want to select
the INITIALIZE or PRESERVE option (as described in Section 1.4.1).
A volume label for the
target disk (if you choose not to use the default volume label).
A password for the SYSTEM
account.
Whether you want to form
or join an OpenVMS Cluster system and, if so, what kind (as described
in Section 2.4).
DECnet node name and address
(or values for the system parameters, SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID).
NOTE: If you install the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS software,
but you want to use addresses compatible with DECnet Phase IV software,
you still need to provide this information. These settings identify
your system by name and number in a DECnet or cluster environment.
If you supply a DECnet Phase IV address, the procedure automatically
calculates the SCSSYSTEMID value. If necessary, consult the network
or system manager to obtain this information.
Information listed on
Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) for your OpenVMS licenses. To register
your licenses, you must enter the information listed on the PAK for
each license. You may register your licenses after installing OpenVMS.
Optional operating system
components that you want to install. You can install all components
(by default), or you can select specific components from this list:
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
(a graphical user interface)
If you install
this product, you must also include the DECwindows Server Support
component. If you are not installing DECwindows as part of the OpenVMS
installation now, but you plan to install it later, install the DECwindows
Server Support component now.
OpenVMS Management Station
If you need to create a kit to install the PC
component of the OpenVMS Management Station software, then you must include the OpenVMS Management Station Software
PC files component.
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
Either DECnet-Plus for
OpenVMS or DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS (but not both)
If you install either DECnet implementation, you must
also include the Support for DECnet component. If you are not installing
DECnet-Plus or DECnet Phase IV now, but you plan to install one of
them later, you should install the Support for the DECnet-Plus or
DECnet Phase IV component now. (The same support component applies
to both implementations of DECnet.)
For a list of component options included with
the OpenVMS operating system, see Example 3-1.
3.4.3 Installing OpenVMS Using Option 1 of the Operating System Menu
A few seconds after you boot the operating system CD (OpenVMS Alpha) or DVD (OpenVMS Integrity
servers OE DVD), several informational messages followed by the OpenVMS
banner appear. After that, other informational messages appear, followed
eventually by the operating system main menu, as shown in the following
example. The duration of messages depend on the system type and attached
hardware.
.

****************************************************************
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 distribution media (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 8.4
2) Display layered products that this procedure can install
3) Install or upgrade layered products
4) Show installed products
5) Reconfigure installed products

Please consult the OpenVMS I64 Upgrade and Installation Manual,
the Release Notes, and the Cover Letter to determine if any or
all of these patches may be required for your system.
If you have not already done so, determine whether
you need to install any patches.
The initial display from the procedure also includes
information about how to respond to prompts (as described in Section 3.4.2):
***********************************************************
This procedure will ask a series of questions.
() - encloses acceptable answers
[] - encloses default answers
Type your response and press the <Return>key. Type:
? - to repeat an explanation
^ - to change prior input (not always possible)
Ctrl/Y - to exit the installation procedure
Create the System Disk: The procedure allows you to begin
creating the system disk. First it displays the following information,
followed by the prompt asking whether you want to initialize or preserve
the disk:
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
Respond to the INITIALIZE or PRESERVE prompt as follows:
IF ...
THEN ...
Your disk is new
Type INITIALIZE and press Enter.
You want to remove all files from an existing system disk
Type INITIALIZE
and press Enter.
You want to retain OpenVMS files on an existing disk
Press Enter to accept the default (PRESERVE); go to Chapter 6.
NOTE: You cannot install OpenVMS on a disk where another
operating system is installed. For example, you cannot take a UNIX
disk, select the PRESERVE option, and then install OpenVMS on the
disk. The UNIX disk is not structured in the format that OpenVMS
requires.
During initialization of an OpenVMS Integrity
servers target system disk, the installation process creates a diagnostic
partition, visible only at the console prompt. For more information
about this partition and the options you can take, see Appendix J.
Specify the System Disk (Target
Disk): The procedure next asks you for the name of the
target disk. If you do not know the name of the disk, enter a question
mark (?). The procedure displays a list of devices on your system.
Select the appropriate disk and respond to the prompt. For example:
You must enter the device name for the target disk on which
OpenVMS I64 will be installed.
Enter device name for target disk: (? for choices) DKB400
If this is the first installation on this system,
no default device is indicated, as in this example. A default device
name is listed if this is not the first installation (for example,
[DKB400] or, for a Fibre Channel disk device, [$1$DGA567]).
If you select a device that is not available or
that cannot be used for some other reason, the procedure displays
information indicating why the device cannot be used. For example,
if you enter MKA500, a tape device, a message similar to the following
is displayed:
MKA500 is not a disk device
Specify the Volume Label: If you
select a device that can be used, the procedure then informs you of
the volume label currently assigned to this device and asks whether
you want to keep that label. If you choose not to keep that label,
you are prompted for a new label, as shown in the following example.
The OpenVMS operating system uses the volume label to identify and
reference the disk. Make sure the label you use is unique; problems
occur if the same label is used by different disk volumes.
DKB400: is now labeled V84SYS.
Do you want to keep this label? (Yes/No) [Yes] NO
Enter volume label for target system disk: [I64SYS] I64084
You can keep the label already assigned to the
disk, accept the default label assigned by the system (for Integrity
server systems, I64SYS), or specify a different volume label (with
a limit of 12 characters that can include A to Z, 0 through 9, the
dollar sign ($), hyphen (-), and underscore (_) characters).
NOTE: OpenVMS requires that the volume labels for all
disks on your system or OpenVMS Cluster have unique labels. If a
disk having the same label as the system disk is mounted, various
OpenVMS components do not function as intended or a node might crash
during boot.
Specify On-Disk Structure Level: After you
enter the volume label for the target system disk, when you selected
INITIALIZE, you are asked whether you want to initialize the target
system disk with On-Disk Structure Level 2 (ODS-2) or Level 5 (ODS-5). The second paragraph in the following example appears
during installations of OpenVMS Integrity servers only.
The target system disk can be initialized with On-Disk Structure
Level 2 (ODS-2) or Level 5 (ODS-5). (? for more information)
OpenVMS I64 systems include WBEM Services for OpenVMS; the WBEM data
repository requires an ODS-5 disk. If you choose to initialize the
target system disk with ODS-5 the repository can be on the system
disk; otherwise you will need to provide an additional ODS-5 disk.
(? for more information).
Do you want to initialize with ODS-2 or ODS-5? (2/5/?)
For details about ODS-2 and ODS-5 file systems,
see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials. A brief summary follows.
NOTE: HP recommends that your system disk be initialized
in ODS-5 format, unless you plan to use software that requires ODS-2.
Although WBEM Services for OpenVMS can be installed
on an ODS-2 disk, the WBEM Services for OpenVMS data repository requires
an ODS-5 disk. A system disk in ODS-5 format can store everything;
if you choose to have your disk in ODS-2 format, the procedure asks
you to provide an ODS-5 disk for the data repository.
ODS-2
ODS-2 allows for compatibility with OpenVMS VAX and
Alpha systems that use ODS-2 disks (as well as OpenVMS Integrity server
systems using ODS-2 disks). Choose ODS-2 if you do not need the new
features of ODS-5 disks, including the support of applications ported
from other operating systems (such as UNIX, Linux, and MS Windows).
ODS-5
ODS-5 supports file names
that are longer, have a wider range of legal characters, and allow
for mixed-case file names. This feature permits use of file names
similar to those in a Microsoft Windows or UNIX environment.
ODS-5 supports hard links
to files, access dates, and files whose names differ only by case.
ODS-5 volumes cannot be
mounted on any version of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2.
Systems running OpenVMS
VAX Version 7.2 and higher can mount ODS-5 volumes, but cannot create
or access files having extended names. (Lowercase file names are
seen in uppercase on OpenVMS VAX systems.)
Select ODS-2 or ODS-5 by entering 2 or 5 at the
prompt.
Enable Hard
Links (ODS-5 Only): If you select ODS-5, the procedure
asks whether you want to enable hard links (if you selected ODS-2,
skip to the next step). When you install OpenVMS Integrity
servers, the procedure advises you that WBEM Services for OpenVMS
does not require hard links, as shown in the following example. Enter YES or NO to indicate your choice.
Hard links can be enabled on ODS-5 disks. WBEM Services for OpenVMS
does not require hard links. (? for more information)
Do you want to enable hard links? (Yes/No/?) YES
Both ODS-2
and ODS-5 support aliases, which are additional names for a file or
directory. Only ODS-5 supports hard links. One of the main differences
with hard links enabled is the way the DCL DELETE command works.
With hard links enabled, if you enter the DELETE command to delete
a file that has one or more aliases associated with it, the command
only deletes the alias by which the file is being accessed. The actual
file continues to exist and is accessible by any remaining alias.
The file is deleted only when the last remaining alias is deleted.
Without hard links enabled, the DELETE command deletes both the
alias by which the file is being accessed and the file itself. Any
other aliases remain but the file is no longer accessible because
it is no longer present. Thus, the remaining aliases are unusable.
If enabling hard links has any drawbacks, they are minor and probably
of concern only in rare circumstances. For example, if disk quotas
are in effect, though owners of a file can delete any links to a file
in a directory they can access, hard links in other users’
directories might cause a file to be retained, and the file size continues
to be charged against that owner’s disk quota.
In general, be aware that enabling hard links
does change the file system’s behavior and that applications
and management practices should respond accordingly (instead of being
alias-specific, for example).
For more information about hard links, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.
Confirm Target System Disk Choices: The procedure
displays your target system disk choices and asks you to confirm
that they are correct. In the following example, the choices made
were to initialize the disk with ODS-5 and with hard links. The volume label is I64084.
You have chosen to install OpenVMS I64 on a new disk.
The target system disk, DKB400:, will be initialized
with structure level 5 (ODS-5).
Hard links WILL be enabled.
It will be labeled I64084.
Any data currently on the target system disk will be lost.
Is this OK? (Yes/No) YES Initializing and mounting target....
%EFI-I-VOLINIT, FAT volume DIAGNOSTICS has been initialized
Creating page and swap files....
Configure and Validate Boot Options (Integrity servers only): On
OpenVMS Integrity servers installations, the procedure next asks whether
you want to create or validate boot options.
Boot options in the EFI Boot Manager boot option menu can provide a
convenient way to boot your system. The installation procedure can
automatically create a new boot option (if none exists) or validate
existing boot options.
Do you want to create or validate boot options? (Yes/No) [Yes] YES
If your newly installed system disk will normally
be booted on this system and this device, and if you want the installation
procedure to assist you in setting up or validating boot options on
the EFI console in the EFI Boot Manager menu, answer YES. The installation
procedure creates and validates a new boot option if one does not
exist, or validates existing boot options, just before the installation
completes (see step 22).
When you answer YES and no boot option exists,
the procedure allows you to set OpenVMS boot flags (VMS_FLAGS), as
shown in the following example. Enter the OpenVMS flags (for example,
0,1), or press Enter to set no flags (the default).
If a boot option exists, you can change boot flags after the installation
completes (for information about changing boot flags, see Section B.5.2).
You can set VMS_FLAGS or accept the default, 0,0.
Enter the value for VMS_FLAGS: (n,n) [0,0]
If you do not want the installation procedure
to assist you in setting up or validating boot options on the EFI
console, answer NO.
HP recommends that you allow the installation
procedure to assist you in setting up and validating boot options.
NOTE: If your newly installed system disk is a Fibre
Channel device, HP recommends that you add it as a boot option in
the EFI boot menu. If you do not allow the installation procedure
to add the device to the boot menu, you can add it by using the OpenVMS
Integrity servers Boot Manager utility (SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM)
after the installation completes. (To add Fibre Channel devices to
the EFI boot menu, use the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager
utility instead of EFI.)
HP recommends using the OpenVMS Integrity servers
Boot Manager utility to add shadowed system disks in a multiple-member
shadow set to the EFI boot device list and dump device list. Be sure
to add all members to both lists.
For information about the OpenVMS Integrity servers
Boot Manager utility, see Section B.5.2. For more information about configuring
and booting Fibre Channel devices, see Appendix E.
Specify SYSTEM Account Information (Initialized Disks
Only): If you are initializing the target disk, you are
prompted for SYSTEM account information. Before you respond to the
prompt asking you to enter a password for the SYSTEM account, note
the following:
Passwords must be at least
8 characters in length (but must not exceed 31 characters). Valid
characters for the password include A through Z, 0 through 9, the
dollar sign ($), and underscore (_). Passwords must contain at least
one alphabetic character (A through Z). The system converts all characters
to uppercase, so the case of characters you enter does not matter.
Press Enter after you enter the password. (The password does not display as
you type it.)
After you enter the password,
the procedure checks to make sure it meets the requirements for a
valid password.
Reenter the password for
verification.
The following is a sample display:
You must enter a password for the SYSTEM account.
The password must be a minimum of 8 characters in length, and
may not exceed 31 characters. It will be checked and verified.
The system will not accept passwords that can be guessed easily.
The password will not be displayed as you enter it.
Password for SYSTEM account:
Re-enter SYSTEM password for verification:
If you reenter the password incorrectly or if
the procedure determines that the password is too easy for another
user to guess, the procedure displays an error message and allows
you to specify a valid password.
Declare OpenVMS Cluster Membership: The procedure
now asks whether your system will be part of an OpenVMS Cluster.
The display is similar to the following:
Will this system be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster? (Yes/No)
You should answer YES if the system will be a
member of an OpenVMS Cluster. Answering YES to this question causes
SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM to run automatically when your newly
installed system is first booted. The CLUSTER_CONFIG procedure asks
a series of questions about the cluster. Your response to this question
determines how the VAXCLUSTER system parameter is set. (The VAXCLUSTER
system parameter is set for OpenVMS Integrity server systems as well
as Alpha and VAX systems; it is not specific to OpenVMS VAX systems.)
For more information, see the Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster
Configurations manual.
If you answer YES to the cluster question, the
display is similar to the following:
When your new system is first booted you will be required to answer
additional questions in order to configure the OpenVMS Cluster.
If you answer NO to the cluster question, the
system can still be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster. However, in this
case you must explicitly configure the node into the cluster after
the installation is completed. For more information, see Section 3.6.
For more information about cluster configuration,
see the HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems manual.
Declaring System as OpenVMS Galaxy
Instance (Alpha only): The procedure next asks whether
your system will be an instance in an OpenVMS Galaxy. (This question
is asked in OpenVMS Alpha installations only. OpenVMS Integrity servers
does not support OpenVMS Galaxy.) The display is similar to the following:
Will this system be an instance in an OpenVMS Galaxy? (Yes/No)
Your answer to this question determines how the
GALAXY system parameter is set.
Set SCSNODE System Parameter: The procedure
now asks you to specify a value for the first of two system parameters,
the SCSNODE parameter. (Step 13 describes
the output and prompts for the second system parameter, SCSSYSTEMID.)
SCSNODE is a name that can be from one to six letters or numbers;
it must include at least one letter. If this system is part of an
OpenVMS Cluster, SCSNODE must be unique within the cluster. If you
are using DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS or DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS with
DECnet Phase IV addresses, then SCSNODE must be the same as your DECnet
node name.
The following is an example of
the display and a valid response:
For your system to operate properly, you must set two parameters:
SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID.
SCSNODE can be from 1 to 6 letters or numbers. It must contain at
least one letter.
If you plan to use DECnet, SCSNODE must be the DECnet Phase IV
node name, or the DECnet-Plus (Phase V) node synonym.
If you have multiple OpenVMS systems, the SCSNODE on each system
must be unique.
Enter SCSNODE: I64CSI
Declare Use of DECnet; Setting SCSSYSTEMID System Parameter: The next prompt asks whether you plan to use DECnet. It also
informs you that the SCSYSYSTEMID system parameter is based on the
DECnet Phase IV address. SCSSYSTEMID must also be unique within an
OpenVMS Cluster.
If you plan to use DECnet, SCSSYSTEMID must be set based on the
DECnet Phase IV address.
Do you plan to use DECnet (Yes/No) [YES]: YES
If you answer YES, the information about the DECnet
Phase IV addresses is displayed along with a prompt for a DECnet Phase
IV address. Enter a valid DECnet Phase IV address, as in the following
example:
DECnet Phase IV addresses are in the format
DECnet_area_number.DECnet_node_number
DECnet_area_number is a number between 1 and 63.
DECnet_node_number is a number between 1 and 1023.
If you plan to use DECnet WITHOUT Phase IV compatible addresses,
enter 0.0.
Enter DECnet (Phase IV) Address [1.1]: 63.180
A display such as the following informs you of
the value assigned to SCSSYSTEMID:
SCSSYSTEMID will be set to 64692.
This was calculated as follows:
(DECnet_area_number * 1024) + DECnet_node_number
If you are not using DECnet, or if you enter 0.0
as the DECnet Phase IV address, you are prompted to enter a SCSSSYSTEMID
in the range of 1 to 65535. If this is a standalone system, the default of 65534 is acceptable. However, if this system is
part of an OpenVMS Cluster, you must enter a SCSSYSTEMID that is
unique within the cluster. The following is a sample display:
The system cannot calculate SCSSYSTEMID from an address that is not
compatible with DECnet Phase-IV.
You will have to choose a value for SCSSYSTEMID.
If you plan to use LAT software, you may have to add /NODECNET to any
CREATE LINK commands in SYS$MANAGER:LATSYSTARTUP.COM.
Please choose a SCSSYSTEMID between 1 and 65535. If you have multiple
OpenVMS systems, the SCSSYSTEMID on each system must be unique.
Enter SCSYSTEMID [65535]: 12345
Set Local Time Zone: Now the procedure
asks you to configure the local time zone. For local time zone support
to work correctly, the installation procedure must set the time zone
that accurately describes the location you want to be your default
time zone. Usually, this is the time zone in which your system is
running. In addition, the procedure asks you to set the OpenVMS time
differential factor (TDF).
The procedure
displays the main time zone menu. You can select the time zone in
either of two ways:
Select the number in the main time zone menu that
best represents the time zone desired. (If multiple time zones exist
for the selection you make, you must select the exact time zone from
another menu.)
Use a search option that allows you to bypass the
time zone menu and search by name (partial or full).
If you select one of the numbers in the time zone
menu, the corresponding time zone is selected. At any prompt, you
can enter a question mark (?) for help information.
NOTE: An asterisk (*) next to a number indicates that more than one
time zone exists for that selection. If you select such a number,
an additional menu displays choices that allow you to select the
appropriate time zone. For example, if you choose the United States
(US) time zone from the main time zone menu, a second menu displays
the specific time zones within the United States.
The following example shows how you would select
the Eastern time zone for the United States by using the menu number:

menu numbers to select the time zone, enter an equals sign (=) at
the menu prompt instead of a number. You can enter one or more words
or partial words immediately after the equals string, or you can enter
the equals sign alone, in which case the procedure prompts you for
the words or partial words of the time zone you want to select. After
you enter that information, the procedure displays all matching time

You selected US / EASTERN as your time zone.
Is this correct? (Yes/No) [YES]:
The procedure then prompts you for the TDF.
For more information about local time zone support,
see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.
Set Time Differential Factor (TDF): The procedure
now provides information about and prompts you to enter the time differential
factor (TDF). The TDF is the difference between your system time
and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is an international standard
(similar to Greenwich Mean Time) for measuring time of day. The procedure
supplies a default for TDF, which is generally the correct response.
If the time zone you selected supports daylight saving time, the
procedure asks you whether daylight saving time is currently in effect.
The following example shows TDF information and prompts displayed
by the procedure:
Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)
Default Time Differential Factor for standard time is -5:00.
Default Time Differential Factor for daylight saving time is -4:00.
The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your
system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar
in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered
in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative
(-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.).
This time zone supports daylight saving time.
Is this time zone currently on daylight saving time? (Yes/No): YESEnter the Time Differential Factor [-4:00]:
NEW SYSTEM TIME DIFFERENTIAL FACTOR = -4:00
Is this correct? [Y]:
For more information about TDF support, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials. Once OpenVMS has been installed and booted from the system disk,
you can determine whether your system is set for daylight saving time
by using the following DCL command to display the translation for
the daylight saving time logical:
$ SHOW LOGICAL *TIMEZONE*"SYS$TIMEZONE_DAYLIGHT_SAVING"="1"
.
.
.
Register Licenses
(Optional at this time): After setting the TDF, the procedure
asks whether you want to register any Product Authorization Keys (PAKs),
as in the following display:
If you have Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to register,
you can register them now.
Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys? (Yes/No) [Yes]
You can register the PAKs now by responding YES
to the prompt, or later by responding NO. You register licenses later
by following the directions in Section 7.3.
To register your licenses now, be sure you have
the following before proceeding:
A copy of the Product Authorization Key (PAK) for
each license that you are registering.
The HP OpenVMS License Management Utility
Manual, which contains complete, detailed information
about the licensing procedure.
For
the OpenVMS Integrity servers operating system, a single Operating
Environment (OE) license grants the right to use all the components
bundled in the purchased OE. Sufficient PCL (Per Core License) units
are required to license all processor cores in a socket.
The OE license must contain PCL units sufficient to activate
all licensed sockets in the system or hard partition. (If additional
cores are added later to the system or hard partition, each requires
additional PCL units.) The License Management utility supports these
OpenVMS Integrity servers licensing practices. The OpenVMS Unlimited
User License is included with the Base Operating Environment (BOE) and, therefore, is included with the other OEs available.
For more information, see the HP Operating Environments
for OpenVMS for Integrity Servers Software Product Description (SPD 82.34.xx).
The OpenVMS Alpha operating
system uses one or more of several types of licenses, as described
in the HP OpenVMS Version 8.4 for Alpha and
Integrity Servers Software Product Description (SPD 82.35.xx) .
For more information about licensing terms and
policies, contact your local HP sales office, or see the HP software
licensing information at the following location:
When you answer
YES to the prompt to register your licenses now, the installation
procedure launches the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure, which
displays the following options menu:

you register all your licenses, exit the License Management procedure
by entering 99 at the prompt.
Install Windowing, Networking, and Related Products: The procedure now asks whether you want to install the optional
DECwindows GUI (DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS) and networking software
(DECnet and TCP/IP) included with OpenVMS. The software that you choose
to install (including the required software) is installed along with
the OpenVMS operating system. You can change the default values for
these products later in the installation procedure.
NOTE: The following display shows what you might see
during an OpenVMS Integrity servers installation. Some of the products
listed are supported on OpenVMS Integrity server systems only.
The following products are part of the OpenVMS installation;
they will be installed along with the OpenVMS operating sytem:
o Availability Manager (base) for OpenVMS I64
o CDSA for OpenVMS I64
o KERBEROS for OpenVMS I64
o SSL for OpenVMS I64
o Performance Data Collector (base) for OpenVMS I64
o HP Binary Checker for OpenVMS I64
o WBEM Services for OpenVMS (WBEMCIM)
o WBEM Providers for OpenVMS (WBEMPROVIDERS)
You can also install the following optional products along with the
OpenVMS operating system:
o DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS I64
o DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS I64
o DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS I64
o HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
If you want to change your selections, you can do so later in the
installation by answering "NO" to the following question:
"Do you want the defaults for all options?"
Do you want to install DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS I64 V1.7? (Yes/No) [Yes] Y
If you want to install the OpenVMS graphical user
interface and you have the hardware that supports it and the license
to use it, answer YES; otherwise, answer NO.
You may install any of the optional software products
separately after the OpenVMS installation completes.
NOTE: Beginning with OpenVMS Version 8.3, DECwindows
client files are made available through the DWMOTIF_SUPPORT kit.
(Prior to Version 8.3, the client files were included directly with
the OpenVMS operating system kit.) The OpenVMS installation procedure
installs this kit automatically. The DWMOTIF_SUPPORT kit name is
listed during the installation.
The OpenVMS installation menu offers the choice
to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS or DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS
networking software. You cannot have both installed on your system
at the same time. You can also choose to install neither DECnet product;
however, certain products that depend on DECnet might be adversely
affected.
If you have installed DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP on
your system, you can run DECnet applications over your TCP/IP network.
For more information about DECnet over TCP/IP, see the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Network Management manual.
The software products display is similar to the
following:
Beginning with OpenVMS V7.1, the DECnet-Plus kit is provided with
the OpenVMS operating system kit. HP strongly recommends that
DECnet users install DECnet-Plus. DECnet Phase IV applications are
supported by DECnet-Plus.
DECnet Phase IV is also provided as an option.
If you install DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP you can run DECnet
applications over a TCP/IP network. Please see the OpenVMS
Management Guide for information on running DECnet over TCP/IP.
Do you want to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS I64 V8.4? (Yes/No) [YES]
If you answer NO to the DECnet-Plus prompt, you
are prompted to install DECnet Phase IV:
Do you want to install DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS I64 V8.4? (Yes/No) [Yes]
Finally, you are asked whether you want to install
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS:
Do you want to install HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS V5.7?
(Yes/No) [Yes] Y
NOTE: For support of Instant Capacity (iCAP) (supported
on cell-based Integrity servers), and for support of such
products as gWLM and HP SIM, you must install TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS. When you use HP SIM to provision OpenVMS on Integrity
servers, TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is installed automatically.
Choose Descriptive Help Text (Optional): After you respond
to the prompt for TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, the final stages of
the installation proceed. First, the procedure asks whether you want
detailed descriptions:
The installation 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 procedure displays additional
explanatory text with each prompt.
As
of Version 8.3, most PCSI kits included on the OpenVMS distribution
media are signed using Secure Delivery. Each target file includes
an associated digital signature file that is used for Secure Delivery
validation. This validation involves authenticating the originator
(HP, in this case) and verifying the contents of the target file.
(The digital signature file is also referred to as a manifest; it
has the same file name as the target file plus _ESW appended to the
file extension, as in filename.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW.) When you install OpenVMS Integrity servers from the distribution
media, the procedure validates any signed PCSI kits that are being
installed. For each kit successfully validated, you see a message
similar to the following:
NOTE: Because of limitations
in the OpenVMS Alpha CD boot environment, OpenVMS Alpha kits are not
validated when installed from the distribution CD. On both OpenVMS
Alpha and Integrity server systems, signed PCSI kits that you install
susbsequently (including any signed kits on the distribution media)
are validated. In addition, on both OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS Integrity
server systems, the DCL command PRODUCT SHOW HISTORY displays the
validation status of installed products.
Select Product Component Options (Accept All Defaults
or Select Individually): The procedure displays a message
such as the following, indicating that it is ready to install the
operating system:
The following product has been selected:
HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.4 Platform (product suite)
Configuration phase starting ...
You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and
for any products that need to be installed to satisfy software dependency
requirements.

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]
When selecting options, note the following:
If you want all the default
values, press Enter.
If
you want to select options individually, answer NO. The procedure
then prompts you for each option and suboption shown in Example 3-1.
Review the list of options
and compare them with the requirements for your system. 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 on the installation of other components.
If you are not sure whether
you want certain options, request help by entering a question mark
(?) at the prompt for that option.
After you select all the
options you want, you can view your selections and make changes (if
necessary).
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 this product. After the installation
is complete, you can prepare your OpenVMS system and your PC to run
OpenVMS Management Station by following the procedures described in Appendix H.
If you decide after the
installation to change which OpenVMS operating system options you
want installed on your system, you must reconfigure the installation
as described in Section 1.4.1.2 and Section 7.12.
After you boot the new
system disk and log in, you can obtain information about individual
system files by entering HELP SYS_FILES at the dollar sign prompt
($).
NOTE: 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.
Note also that, for OpenVMS Integrity server installations,
the availability of certain options depends on the OE you have purchased.
For more information, see the HP Operating Environments
for OpenVMS for Integrity Servers Software Product Description (SPD 82.34.xx).
If you answer YES to accept the defaults for all
options, the procedure displays a message similar to the following,
the contents of which depend on the products you chose to install.
If you answer NO, the procedure prompts you for each option and suboption.

Finish Installation
onto System Disk – Review and Confirm Options:
When you have answered all the prompts and selected the options you
want installed, the procedure displays information about the products
you have selected. The procedure allows you to review your selections
and make changes if necessary, then installs the product, provides
informational messages, and returns you to the original menu.
First, you are asked whether you want to review
the options:
Do you want to review the options? [NO]
If you answer YES, the procedure displays all
the selected options and suboptions, similar to Example 3-1. If you answer NO, the installation continues

The component options listed in Example 3-1 are included within the OpenVMS
Version 8.4 operating system. Except as
noted, these options apply to both OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity server
systems. Depending on the products you chose to install
with the operating system, additional components are included as well.
After the procedure displays all selected options and suboptions,
you are prompted as follows:
Are you satisfied with these options? [YES]
If you answer NO to this question, you are allowed to selectively
configure options and suboptions, even if you did not do so previously.
When you finish, you are asked again whether you are satisfied with
the options you selected. When you answer YES to indicate you are
satisfied with the selections, the installation begins installing
OpenVMS onto the target disk. The following is a sample display:
NOTE: Alpha systems only: If you
perform two installations at the same time to systems connected by
MEMORY CHANNEL, you might see a message similar to the following every
5 seconds:
%PMA0 CPU00: 25-SEP-2009 14:58:40 Remote System Conflicts with
Known System - REMOTE NODE
%PMA0 CPU00: 25-SEP-2009 14:58:45 Remote System Conflicts with
Known System - REMOTE NODE
Disregard the message. The installation or upgrade will proceed
normally and the message is not present when the system reboots with
its actual node name.
Names of products installed with OpenVMS differ between OpenVMS
Alpha and Integrity server installations. For example, the OpenVMS
Integrity servers windowing and networking product names are all displayed
as HP I64VMS product-name, such as HP I64VMS
KERBEROS, while OpenVMS Alpha product names are displayed in any of
three different ways, depending on the product and version:

Installation Creates and Validates Boot Options (Integrity servers only): At
this point in an OpenVMS Integrity servers installation, the procedure
creates and validates boot options if you chose to have the procedure
do so (see step 8).
If you answered NO in step 8, the following message is
displayed:
If there is an existing boot option that was used to boot this
system disk, you may be able to use it. Otherwise, you will have
to use the EFI Shell the first time that you boot the newly
installed system. After booting, use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager
to create a Boot Option. To do this log in to a privileged
account and execute this command: $ @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS
The procedure then informs you that the
installation is complete and prompts you to press Return (Enter) to continue, at which point it returns
you to the OpenVMS main menu. You can select option 8 (“Execute
DCL commands and procedures”) on the OpenVMS main menu and
enter the command at the DCL triple dollar sign prompt ($$$) to start
the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager utility.
If you answered YES in step 8, the installation procedure
determines whether a boot entry already exists for the system disk
(in this example, DKB400:):
If an entry is found, a message similar to the following is displayed:
The EFI Boot Manager menu includes the following boot option(s)
for DKB400:
EFI Boot Options list: Timeout = 0 secs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
01. DKB400 PCI(0|20|1|0) Scsi(Pun1,Lun0) "OpenVMS on DKB400: PKA0.1"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 entries found.
In this example, one boot option
is found. If multiple entries are found and if they are all SCSI
devices, the procedure displays the following message and then notifies
you that the installation is complete:
Please use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager to ensure that you
have a valid boot option for the system you have just installed.
When one entry is found, or when multiple Fibre Channel entries
are found, the procedure validates the boot options, as in the following
example, in which the found entry fails to boot and is then fixed
and validated:
If no existing entry is found, a boot option is created and the procedure displays the validation
text, as in the following example:
efi$bcfg: DKB400: (Boot0003) Option successfully added
The Boot Option is called OpenVMS on DKB400:;
it is the first entry in the Boot Options menu, and is
configured (by default) to boot from SYS0.
VMS_FLAGS are set to -fl 0,30000
Installation Completes and Returns to OpenVMS Menu: The installation procedure is now complete. The procedure displays
information about the special startup procedure that runs when the
newly installed system is first booted. It then prompts you to press Return (Enter) to continue. After you
do so, you are returned to the OpenVMS operating system menu. The
following is a sample display:
The installation is now complete.
When the newly installed system is first booted, a special
startup procedure will be run. This procedure will:
o Configure the system for standalone or OpenVMS Cluster operation.
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.
