****************************************************************

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 operating system CD-ROM.

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 V8.1
2) Display products and patches that this procedure can install
3) Install or upgrade layered products and patches
4) Show installed products
5) Reconfigure installed products
6) Remove installed products
7) Execute DCL commands and procedures
8) Shut down this system

Enter CHOICE or ? for help: (1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/?) 1
***********************************************************

The installation procedure will ask a series of questions.

() - encloses acceptable answers
[] - encloses default answers

Type your response and press the key. Type:

? - to repeat an explanation
^ - to change prior input (not always possible)
Ctrl/Y - to exit the installation procedure

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 OpenVMS VAX or any other operating system is installed.

Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE] init


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) ?

Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt
Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt
DAD0: Online 0
DKA100: Online 0
DQA0: Mounted wrtlck 0 I64081 95664 30 1
DQA1: Online 1


Enter device name for target disk: (? for choices) dka100:

Enter volume label for target system disk: [I64SYS]

The target system disk can be initialized with On-Disk Structure
Level 2 (ODS-2) or Level 5 (ODS-5). (? for more information)

Do you want to initialize with ODS-2 or ODS-5? (2/5/?) 5

Hard links can be enabled on ODS-5 disks. (? for more information)

Do you want to enable hard links? (Yes/No/?) yes


You have chosen to install OpenVMS I64 on a new disk.

The target system disk, DKA100:, will be initialized
with structure level 5 (ODS-5).
Hard links WILL be enabled.
It will be labeled I64SYS.
Any data currently on the target system disk will be lost.

Is this OK? (Yes/No) yes

Initializing and mounting target....

Creating page and swap files....


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:


Will this system be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster? (Yes/No) no

Will this system be an instance in an OpenVMS Galaxy? (Yes/No) no


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: ia64-1

Invalid SCSNODE


Enter SCSNODE: ia6401

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]:

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 1 and 1023.

If you plan to use DECnet WITHOUT Phase IV compatible addresses,
enter 0.0.


Enter DECnet (Phase IV) Address [1.1]:

SCSSYSTEMID will be set to 1025.

This was calculated as follows:

(DECnet_area_number * 1024) + DECnet_node_number

Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)


Default Time Differential Factor for standard time is 1:00.
Default Time Differential Factor for daylight saving time is 2:00.

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):
You must enter "YES" or "NO"!
This time zone supports daylight saving time.
Is this time zone currently on daylight saving time? (Yes/No): yes

Enter the Time Differential Factor [2:00]: 1:00

NEW SYSTEM TIME DIFFERENTIAL FACTOR = 1:00

Is this correct? [Y]: y


If you have Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to register,
you can register them now.

You can install the following products along with the OpenVMS
operating system:

o KERBEROS for OpenVMS I64 (required part of OpenVMS)
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 T1.4-1?
(Yes/No) [YES]



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. Support for DECnet
Phase IV is available through a Prior Version Support Contract.

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 T8.1?
(Yes/No) [YES]


Do you want to install HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS T5.5-3T?

Configure the OpenVMS Kerberos clients & servers

If Kerberos will be in use on this system
and a current Kerberos configuration will
not be used, please take the time to run
the following command after the installation
has completed (and after rebooting the system
if this is an OpenVMS installation or upgrade):

@SYS$STARTUP:KRB$CONFIGURE.COM

After configuration, two system files need to
be modified. The following line should be
added to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:KRB$STARTUP

The following line must be added to
SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGIN.COM:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:KRB$SYMBOLS

The Kerberos 5 V2.0 documentation has been
provided as it was received from MIT. This
documentation may differ slightly from the
OpenVMS Kerberos implementation as it describes
the Kerberos implementation in a Unix environment.

Check the release notes for current status of the product.



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.

Welcome to ia64-vms club :-D
Do you know the last version of ia-vms id V8.2, isn't it?

Antonio Vigliotti

[Kris Clippeleyr]

Andreas,

Welcome to the club!
As Antonio said, V8.2 & related stuff is now available.
As of today, we're running VMS V8.2 and RdB T7.2 (native) on our rx2600.
Regards,
Kris (aka Qkcl)

[Ian Miller.]

V8.2 is a lot better - the media should start being available outside of hp this month sometime but talk to your friendly hp contacts and parhaps you can see it sooner.

[Andreas Fassl]

I was told yesterday the current release has got a kitting problem, should be fixed next week.
