The installation procedure verifies that DECwindows Motif applications and run-time support files are installed on the operating system (for example, transport and font files, which are required for running DECwindows Motif software).
**** DECwindows Motif application and run-time support files DETECTED **** |
On OpenVMS VAX systems, if the files are not installed, the following message is displayed:
The DECwindows Motif application and run-time support files have not been installed. You can use the DECwindows tailoring facility to tailor on the device support files and the 75DPI and/or the 100DPI font files using the DECwindows save sets which are shipped with the OpenVMS kit as follows: $ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR The installation of DECwindows Motif cannot continue. |
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, the files are always installed.
Next, the installation procedure checks for the presence of support files that are needed to use the system as a workstation or as a workstation boot server. If the support files are installed, the following message is displayed:
**** DECwindows device support files DETECTED **** |
On OpenVMS VAX systems, if the files are not installed, users are warned with the following message that their systems cannot be a workstation or a workstation boot server:
The DECwindows device support files for using this machine as a workstation or as a boot node for workstations have not been installed. You can use the DECwindows tailoring facility to tailor on the device support files and the 75DPI and/or the 100DPI font files using the DECwindows save sets, which are shipped with the OpenVMS kit, as follows: $ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR |
On OpenVMS Alpha systems, if the files are not installed, users are warned with the following message that their systems cannot be a workstation or a workstation boot server:
The DECwindows device support files for using this machine as a workstation
or as a boot node for workstations have not been installed.
You can use the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility to change the
options selected when the OpenVMS Alpha software was installed.
See the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility User's Guide for more
information. To add the support files and the 75DPI and/or the 100DPI font
files using the DECwindows save sets which are shipped with the OpenVMS
kit, use the PRODUCT RECONFIGURE command as follows:
$ PRODUCT RECONFIGURE VMS
You should add the "Support for DECwindows" subclass in the Utilities
class.

System reboot will be required following upgrade of language variants.
A system reboot will be required to install the new DECwindow Motif
images. If this is a new installation you should execute AUTOGEN
using the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN GETDATA REBOOT CHECK_FEEDBACK
This command adjusts your system parameters and reboots the system.
If you wish to use DECwindows with any language other than English,
install the appropriate DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-6 language
variant product before using AUTOGEN or rebooting the system.
Installation Verification Procedure can be run after reboot.
Run the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) after the installation
is completed and the system is rebooted. The IVP is located in the
following directory: SYS$TEST:DECW$IVP.COM.

An error during installation can occur if one or more of the following conditions exists:
For descriptions of the error messages generated by these conditions, see the documents listed in the Associated Documents section in the Preface. These documents may help you diagnose errors and decide what corrective actions to take.
If the installation procedure fails for any reason, the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility displays a message similar to the following:
%PCSIUI-INSFAIL, The installation of DECwindows Motif Version 1.2-6 for OpenVMS has failed. |
If the installation fails, fix the problem and restart the installation
procedure.
2.5 Adjusting Parameters After Installation
If you are simultaneously installing or upgrading the OpenVMS operating system with DECwindows from the CD-ROM, the installation procedure will will check the system parameters at this point.
You will not see this message if this is a new installation of DECwindows. |
When Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS attempts to start after successful installation, you will see a message similar to the following:
%DECW-W-BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter GBLPAGES is 120000, should be at least 150000 %DECW-W-BADVALUE, Free GBLPAGES is 75040 should be at least 92000 %DECW-W_BADVALUE, SYSGEN parameter CLISYMTBL is 256, should be at least 512 Some SYSGEN parameters must be reset for DECwindows to start. If you type YES, AUTOGEN will change these parameters and reboot your system. If you type NO, AUTOGEN will not be run or cause a reboot but DECwindows will not start. Do you want the system to run AUTOGEN for you [YES] |
At this point, press RETURN. The system will run AUTOGEN, adjust your system parameters, reboot the system and display the DECwindows login.
This chapter explains how to install Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software using the VMSINSTAL procedure on VMS Version 5.5--2 systems. Included is a step-by-step description of the installation procedure, information about error recovery, and instructions for accessing the release notes.
The VMSINSTAL installation procedure is only provided for VMS Version 5.5--2 systems and should not be used on OpenVMS Version 6.2 and OpenVMS Version 7.1 systems. Use the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility to install DECwindows Motif on these OpenVMS systems; see Chapter 2. |
Using the VMSINSTAL procedure, the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS installation takes approximately 45 minutes, depending on the processor type. The VMSINSTAL procedure installs the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS product on your system disk.
A Product Authorization Key (PAK) for Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS must be registered and loaded before starting the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS installation. |
If you do not have a satisfactory backup copy of your system disk, do not attempt to install Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software. Back up the system disk (as described in the OpenVMS upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX processor) before you install Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software. Before beginning the installation procedure, review Chapter 1 for information about installation preparations and requirements. |
This chapter presents information about the following topics:
This section discusses the requirements for installing your Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX software using the VMSINSTAL installation procedure.
Refer to Section 1.8 for information on requirements common to both VMSINSTAL and PCSI installations.
Prepare to install Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software by logging in to a privileged
account, such as the system manager (SYSTEM) account. See Section 3.1.1
for the prerequisite privileges. Although Compaq prefers that you
perform the installation using the operator console or other hardcopy
terminal, you can perform the installation from a DECterm window.
3.1.1 Process Privileges
To install Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software, you must be logged in to an account that has the SETPRV privilege or the following privileges:
The installation procedures turn off the BYPASS privilege at the start
of the installation and turn it back on when the installation is
completed.
3.1.2 Using an Alternate Working Device
You can use the alternate working device (AWD) option to specify another disk to temporarily store the files while they are being unpacked from the save sets on the distribution media. Once the save sets are unpacked, the installation procedure adds or replaces the files that are necessary for the installation of Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software from the AWD to the system disk.
If this installation is to upgrade an existing DECwindows Motif environment, then the AWD option allows you to perform an installation with fewer free blocks on the system disk than are otherwise required.
The installation procedure creates a temporary working directory either on the AWD device or by default in the following location:
SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSUPD.facunvvv] |
If you use the AWD option, you can specify a directory. Specifying a directory is optional, but the following guidelines apply:
Use the following format to invoke the VMSINSTAL procedure and specify the AWD option:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL facunvvv dkcu OPTIONS N,AWD=ddcu:[dir] |
Use the following definitions for the variables in the command line:
For example, to install the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS product from the compact disc onto an OpenVMS VAX system using DKA2 as the alternate working device, enter the following command:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DWMOTIFVAXU6012 source-drive - _$ OPTIONS N,AWD=DKA2: |
You can specify a temporary working directory on a disk that uses the Distributed File Service (DFS).
If you use a DFS-mounted disk as your alternate working device, the installation procedure erroneously reports that there are --1 free blocks on the alternate working device. This error occurs because the DFS client (the installation procedure, in this case) cannot determine the amount of free disk space on the DFS-mounted disk.
Before using a DFS-mounted disk, manually determine its free disk space. Log in to the system on which the disk is mounted, and enter the SHOW DEVICE command as follows:
$ SHOW DEVICE |
The Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS installation procedure consists of a series of questions and informational messages. Enter a question mark (?) for help at any time during the installation. See Appendix B for a sample VMSINSTAL installation of DECwindows Motif on an OpenVMS VAX system.
To stop the installation procedure, press Ctrl/Y. When you press Ctrl/Y, the installation procedure deletes all files created up to that point and then exits. You can then restart the installation.
This option is not recommended. |
During the installation, you must tell the system what product is being installed and which drive contains the distribution media. Refer to a product with its facility name and version; refer to a drive with its device name. Use the following format to enter product and device names:
| Variable | Definition |
|---|---|
| fac | Product name code (1 to 36 alphanumeric characters) |
| u | Update character "u" (1 character) |
| n | Update version number (1 digit) |
| vvv | Major version number (3 digits) |
For additional information about device names on your system, see the
upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX processor.
3.2.2 Invoking the VMSINSTAL Procedure
To start the installation, invoke the VMSINSTAL command procedure from a privileged account, such as the SYSTEM account. The VMSINSTAL.COM file is located in the SYS$UPDATE directory.
When the system prompts you with a question during the installation procedure, the default answer is often listed in brackets ([]).
Perform the following steps to run the VMSINSTAL procedure and install Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DWMOTIFVAXU6012 ddcu: OPTIONS N |
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DWMOTIFVAXU6012 MUA0: OPTIONS N |
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DWMOTIFVAXU6012 ddcu: OPTIONS N,AWD=ddcu:[dir] |
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DWMOTIFVAXU6012 MUA0: OPTIONS N,AWD=DUA2:[INSTALL] |
%VMSINSTAL-E-NOPRODS, None of the specified products were found |
The VMSINSTAL procedure displays messages similar to the following:
VAX/VMS Software Product Installation Procedure V5.5-2
It is 26-MAR-2000 at 08:02
Enter a question mark (?) at any time for help.
