I have one CD for Open VMS 7.2-1 Layered Products.From there I want to install the TCPIP Alpha Version 5.0A ECO2.Can anybody tell me what are the commands and procedures to do this.I am able to mount the CD but not able to enter into it.As a result I am not able to search the kit in proper directory of in the CD ROM.

What does this mean ?
If the CD is mounted, then You can DIRECTORY, COPY, PRODUCT INSTALL, @sys$update:VMSINSTAL etc. using the CD as the source directory specification.

To find out where the UCX kit is on the CD, do a directory list on dev:[000000]
See if there is a directory named UCX*, or a directory like [KITS],
I don't have one at hand to look what it is actually called.

VMS/Alpha 7.2 comes with TCPIP 5.0
On the system installation CD1 I see:

dir dqa0:[TCPIP_ALPHA050]

Directory DQA0:[TCPIP_ALPHA050]

DOCUMENTATION.DIR;1 KIT.DIR;1

dir dqa0:[TCPIP_ALPHA050.kit]

Directory DQA0:[TCPIP_ALPHA050.KIT]

DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP-V0500-9-1.PCSI;1
DEC-AXPVMS-UCX-V0402-21PLACEHOLDER-1.PCSI;1


So the installation is done by:
PRODUCT INSTALL TCPIP /source=DQA0:[TCPIP_ALPHA050.KIT]

And the installation manual in [TCPIP_ALPHA050.DOCUMENTATION]


This installs TCPIP 5.0,
ECOs You have to download from the ITRC patch site, see the link on this page below.

and BTW, the volume is ALPHA072 (the 1 of 2), not ALPHA072LP !

Hi Anjan,

Belo link explains how to install and configure the DIGITAL TCP/IP for OpenVMS (UCX) layered application product and the programmer s guide. May be helpful.

Hi Anjan,

>> I am able to mount the CD but not able to enter into it.
Are you able to do dir on the CD? If you are able to do dir on the CD then you can install the kit using the below command.

$ PRODUCT INSTALL TCPIP /source=
Hope this resolves your issue.

I mean to say that can u please tell me the commands to mount the CD rom and check for what are the directories available in the CD rom?

[Joseph Huber_1 · Accepted solution]

Initially You wrote You were able to mount the CD ?
The Cd can be mounted like any other disk on the system.
So let dev: be the CD ROM device (DQxn: for IDE,DKxn: for SCSI), then
MOUNT dev: ALPHA072
(ALPHA072 is the volume label, it is written on the CD)
Then to get the "root" directory:
DIRECTORY dev:[000000]
And for the specific TCPIP kit see the directory names I have written in my earlier reply.

Hi Anjan,

You can use the below command to mount the CD on VMS.

$ mount/over=id
$ dir :[000000]

Refer below link for more detains on mount.
