Mounting the media for the Layered Products Library or Operating Environment Update. Mount the DVD/CD-ROM by entering the MOUNT command in the following format: $ MOUNT/SYSTEM device volume label Where device is the name of the media device, volume label is the 12-character volume label located on the face of the disc. For example: $ MOUNT/SYSTEM DQA400: I64BINMAR161 2. Accessing a Software DVD/CD-ROM Products on the Layered Products Library and Operating Environment Update DVD/CD-ROM contain directories for each product. These directories contain save sets of the binary images included in the software product and product installation documentation in ASCII text and PostScript formats. Each product directory begins with a name unique for that product. Table 2-1 shows the structure of the Layered Products Library and Operating Environment Update DVD/CD-ROM. The [README] directory, located on the first CD-ROM or DVD, contains the documents you should read first. For each product, the name of the root directory usually corresponds to the name of the product save set. The product save sets are located in the KIT subdirectory. Documentation is located in the DOCUMENTATION subdirectory. Table 2-1 Layered Products Library and Operating Environment Update Media Directory Structure _________________________________________________________________________ Directory File Contents _________________________________________________________________________ [README] Documentation you should read first. _________________________________________________________________________ CDMASTER_INDEX.TXT Lists all products in this release, including which DVD/CD-ROM contains each product and the directory name for each product. _________________________________________________________________________ GETTING_STARTED.TXT Includes instructions to mount media, accessing software and documents, print documents, and install layered products. _________________________________________________________________________ SW_COMPAT_MATRIX.TXT Indicates operating system versions that support each layered product.

Release Notes and Other Documentation Release notes for layered products are included in the kits and may be retrieved by entering the appropriate command in the VMSINSTAL utility or the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. Other product documentation, not listed in Table 2-1, is available in two ways: · On the HPE OpenVMS Online Documentation Libraries for Layered Products on HPE Integrity Servers and for Operating Environments on HPE Integrity/Alpha Servers and Microsoft™ Windows™ Platforms CD-ROMs, in an electronically viewable format, · As individual product documentation sets in hardcopy format. Either may be ordered separately by contacting your Hewlett Packard Enterprise account representative. Order numbers for software kits, printed manuals, and software service are included in product cover letters or are listed on the SPDs. 4. Printing the Documents You can print the documentation for the Layered Products Library or Operating Environment Update by entering an operating system command. You do not need a product license to print these documents. See the Layered Products Library or the Operating Environment Update Master Index for pointers to product directory specifications. To print a document in Table 2-1 with text output, send the file to an ASCII printer by entering a command in one of the following formats: $ PRINT/QUEUE=queue_ANSI device:[README]file-name.TXT $ PRINT/QUEUE=queue_ANSI device:[product.DOCUMENTATION]file-name.TXT To print a document from the [product.DOCUMENTATION] directory with PostScript output, send the file to a PostScript printer by entering the command in the following format: $ PRINT/QUEUE=queue_POST device:[product.DOCUMENTATION]file-name.PS In the preceding examples, device represents the name of the drive on which you have placed your Layered Products Library or Operating Environment Update DVD/CD-ROM. 5. Installing Layered Products This section describes how to install layered products on an OpenVMS on Integrity Servers system. 5.1 Location of Product Save Sets and Installation Instructions The Layered Products Library or the Operating Environment Update Master Index gives the directory locations of the products on the software binaries DVD or CD-ROM. This information is also available in the CDMASTER_INDEX.TXT files in the [README] directory on the first disc. Installation information for each product, in ASCII text and PostScript formats, is located in the [product.DOCUMENTATION] directories, where product is the product directory name, as given in the Layered Products Library or Operating Environment Update Master Index. 5.2 Installation Methods Install layered products using one of the following methods: · Using the VMSINSTAL utility. · Using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. 5.2.1 Using VMSINSTAL Individual layered product kits are located in their own directory hierarchies. For this reason, when you install a layered product, you must use a VMSINSTAL command line that is slightly different from the one given in the product's installation guide. When you enter the VMSINSTAL command line, specify the disc drive and the directory by entering a command in the following format: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL product drive:[directory.KIT] For example: $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DECFMS024 DQA400:[DECFMS024.KIT] Additionally, certain system privileges must be enabled before you run VMSINSTAL. You must be logged in to a privileged account (such as the system manager's account, SYSTEM) that has the SETPRV privilege or at least the following privileges enabled: · CMKRNL · SYSPRV · WORLD To check whether your process has SETPRV or other privileges enabled, enter the following command: $ SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGES 5.2.2 Using the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility Beginning with OpenVMS Alpha Version 6.1, some products can be installed using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. Not all products are available with this installation technology. Use a command in the following format to install one or more software products that support installations by means of POLYCENTER Software Installation utility: $ PRODUCT INSTALL product/VERSION=number /SOURCE=disc_drive:- [directory.KIT] For example: $ PRODUCT INSTALL DQS/VERSION=1.3 /SOURCE=DQA400:[DQS013.KIT] Additionally, certain system privileges must be enabled before you install products. You must be logged in to a privileged account (such as the system manager's account, SYSTEM) that has at least the following privileges enabled: · CMKRNL · SYSLCK · SYSPRV To check whether your process has these privileges enabled, enter the following command: $ SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGES To see whether a previous version of a product is installed, use the PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT command. For example: $ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT FORTRAN Refer to the product's installation guide for more information on installing products using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. To use other features of the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility, see the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility User's Guide.

The Operating Environment ODL CD-ROM supports both the OpenVMS Integrity Servers and OpenVMS Alpha platforms and contains documentation common to both platforms. Operating System and key layered products have been selected for inclusion. For OpenVMS Integrity Servers, most of the Operating Environment components are included. Platform-specific products are identified as “I64” or “Alpha”. Layered Products, not included on the Operating Environments ODL CD-ROM, are delivered on the Layered Products ODL CD-ROM that is specific to the Integrity (I64) platform. System Requirements: · OpenVMS on Integrity, Version 8.2 or later · Windows 98 SE, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10. · Web Browser · Adobe Acrobat Reader Mounting an ODL-ISO CD-ROM: Windows Platforms: · Insert the ODL-ISO disc into your CD-ROM drive OpenVMS Platforms: · $ MOUNT/OVER=ID/MEDIA_FORMAT=CDROM/UNDEFINED_FAT=(STREAM:2048) DEVICE: Browsing an ODL-ISO To begin browsing an ODL-ISO CD-ROM, open index.htm from the root of the CD-ROM in your web browser.
