TCP/IP product installation

[Kris Clippeleyr]

Simon,

What I would do:
1. Shut down the Alpha
2. Boot it from the installation CD
3. Install VMS & DECnet & TCPIP from the CD (Option 1 from the menu presented)
4. Once the installation procedure prompts for it, specify INITIALIZE, __NOT__ PRESERVE.
5. After the installation, reboot the Alpha from the newly created system disk.
6. Log in using the SYSTEM account.
7. Configure TCP/IP using @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG

Good luck,

Kris (aka Qkcl)

Now I got the version 7.3-2 and i'll try that, Although I have tried it before with the previous version but i wasn't sure about the CD.

Maybe not enough licence ?

All the products of VMS can be installed without any license. Only the IVP will fail (of course).
When starting up the process(es) you need the licenses.

guys, the problem was with the CD. Maybe something was corrupt.
The new CD OpenVMS 7.3-2 has no problem and the operation went throught smoothly.
