How do you update the stack?
thanks

How do you update the TCP/IP Services stack? Well, by coincidence, I just answered that in another thread:

does it matter if I install the JA release of this?

Am I looking at the right kit here?

Robert,

I think that this is the JAPANESE kit!

Go through the itrc search page:

If you want direct FTP access, use

ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/alpha/V7.3-2/

Right. The headless chicken who organized
this stuff spread it around pretty well. It
often helps to start at:

ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/

and then explore more branches of the tree
than you would reasonably expect to be
useful.

No. The JA variants are the Japanese language variant kits.

Read the associated text files, too. Those files are the release notes for the kits, and (bluntly) there can be the occasional, um, surprises lurking within some of the patch kits.

As for patch area access directly from an IP-connected OpenVMS box:

DIRECTORY /FTP /ANONYMOUS -
ftp.itrc.hp.com::"/slash/path/to/file"

and

COPY /FTP /ANONYMOUS ...

There's also the master listing file (over in the OpenVMS directory) that is worth a read.

If you're running Mac OS X, you can typically run all this processing right from Finder, including reading the release notes text files and the patch download.
