How to Install UCX?

[Starla Johnston]

I have searched the site and cannot locate the instructions for installing UCX. Any of you know where I can find them?

Hi,

instalation or release notes are the part of the installation kit.

Here is the answer of OpenVMS wizard

Use the VMSINSTAL tool to install the kit, the VMSLICENSE tool to
register the license PAK (if needed), and then invoke the TCP/IP
Services configuration tool via UCX$CONFIG; via TCPIP$CONFIG on
more recent releases.

Please see the available TCP/IP Services installation manual for
installation and configuration details and options. The version
of TCP/IP Services you will install will be sufficiently old that
the manuals that are on-line for the current version of TCP/IP
Services will not be entirely helpful, thus you may want to look
for a version of the manual that matches the (older) version of
the product that will be installed.

Best approach: upgrade to the current OpenVMS VAX release and to
the current TCP/IP Services release.

Searching the web with Altavista (I still prefer it to Google) for "UCX V4.2 installation guide" got me to this:

Don't forget to install any ECO kits that apply.

And bear in mind, that it is no longer supported by HP, and as such the only chance that you have of any form of support is the kind responses of this team of merry folk in this forum (who ask for nothing more than you to rate their responses and assistance...)

Older versions were caused UCX. You will get "best effort" support. There is also a tuning document for UCX that does not apply to TCPIP.

After 7.1-2 you use product install.
Then you run tcpip$config and answer the questions.
You will need your network mask, address, and network information.

In fact, during upgrades of VMS it will ask if it should install tcpip. It won't configure it, tcpip$config will do that.
