Appendix B
Installing the Software with VMSINSTAL

This appendix describes how to install DECprint Supervisor software using the VMSINSTAL utility. VMSINSTAL is used to install DCPS on systems running versions of OpenVMS older than V6.2. If you are not familiar with the VMSINSTAL utility, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

B.1 Overview

Follow the steps in Section 2.1 to prepare for the DCPS installation.

B.2 VMSINSTAL Conventions

VMSINSTAL will prompt you for site-specific information. Questions are preceded by an asterisk (*) and may be followed by default responses enclosed in brackets ([]). Enter your response followed by [Return].

Press [Return] to enter the default response. If you are not sure of the response, enter a question mark (?). VMSINSTAL displays explanatory text and repeats the prompt.

Messages specific to the installation of DECprint Supervisor software are listed in Section B.4.

B.3 Installing the Software

Note

This section does not reproduce all of the text you may see on your screen during the installation of the DCPS software. Sample VMSINSTAL installation scripts are shown in Section B.5.

To install the software, use the following procedure:

  1. Invoke the VMSINSTAL procedure.
    Enter the following command:


    $ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DCPSpppnnn device-id [OPTIONS N]
    

    You supply the following information:


    First, VMSINSTAL displays a banner line with the date and time, and instructions for running the dialog. You may receive one or more of the following warning messages when VMSINSTAL starts up. Exit from the procedure, correct the cause of the warning message, and start the VMSINSTAL procedure again.
    Other processes may cause the installation of HELP to fail. When any of these messages are displayed, the following question is displayed to allow you to terminate VMSINSTAL and correct the situation:


    * Do you want to continue anyway [NO]? 
    

    Enter YES to continue. If you answer NO, the VMSINSTAL procedure is terminated immediately.
    You can enter a question mark (?) at this time to display advice from the VMSINSTAL software. For example:


    The above conditions may cause VMSINSTAL to function improperly. 
    In particular, problems may occur with file ownership if you are not 
    logged into the SYSTEM account.
    

  2. Ensure that existing software is saved.
    VMSINSTAL then asks the following question:


    * Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]?
    

    Enter YES to continue, or enter NO to exit VMSINSTAL to make a backup and run VMSINSTAL again.
    If you enter a question mark (?) in response to this question, VMSINSTAL displays the following explanation:


    VMSINSTAL attempts to ensure that a power failure or system crash 
    will not corrupt your system disk.  However, for absolute safety we 
    recommend that you back it up before installing new products.  Please 
    see the documentation for more information on crashes during 
    installation.
    

  3. Confirm that distribution media is loaded.
    VMSINSTAL asks for confirmation that the distribution media has been mounted.


     Please mount the first volume of the set on device-id:
    * Are you ready? 
    

  4. Announce products to be installed.
    VMSINSTAL then announces the products to be installed where ppp designates the platform and n.n designates the version.


    The following products will be processed: 
     
    DCPSppp Vn.n
     
            Beginning installation of DCPSppp Vn.n at 13:45 
     
    %VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product saveset A
    

  5. Obtain the release notes.
    If you specified OPTIONS N in the VMSINSTAL command line, the following Release Notes options are displayed:


    Release notes included with this kit are always copied to SYS$HELP. 
     
    Additional Release Notes Options: 
     
       Release Notes Options: 
              (1) Display release notes 
              (2) Print release notes 
              (3) Both 1 and 2 
              (4) None of the above 
    

    After you enter the release note option, VMSINSTAL asks whether you want to continue the installation procedure:


    Do you want to continue the installation [NO]?
    

    If you did not include the OPTIONS N portion of the VMSINSTAL command line, VMSINSTAL does not display this question. Instead, the following message is displayed:


    %VMSINSTAL-I-RELMOVED, Product's release notes have been moved to SYS$HELP
    

  6. Check for active DCPS queues.
    If DCPS print queues are active while VMSINSTAL is running, messages similar to the following are displayed:


    %DCPSVAX-W-QUEACTIVE, The following DCPS queues are still active: 
     
    Queue                     Device                                    Status 
    -----                     ------                                    ------ 
    LN09                      DAN::LTA9000:                             IDLE 
    LN17                      DAN::"AppleTalk/Dan's LN17+ps"            IDLE 
    LN40                      DAN::"IP_RawTCP/ln40:6869"                IDLE 
    LPS32                     DAN::"IP_CPAP/lps32.office.genicom.com"   IDLE 
     
    %DCPSVAX-I-NUMQUEUES, 4 existing DCPS queues, with 4 active 
     
            Previously installed DCPS queues are still running. 
            Continuing this installation without entering 
            STOP/QUEUE/RESET for each such queue can cause 
            inconsistent behavior among queues and can cause 
            the IVP to fail. 
     
            Note that if you choose to have this installation 
            procedure automatically stop such queues, and the 
            installation subsequently aborts, this procedure 
            will not automatically restart them. 
     
    * Do you want these queues automatically stopped and restarted [YES]? 
     
    

    If you do not want the installation procedure to automatically stop them, you are given the options of aborting the installation or continuing with the queues active. Continuing is not recommended.

  7. Check for sufficient disk space.
    VMSINSTAL checks to see if the amount of disk space required for the installation is available. If the space is not available, a message indicates the amount of disk space that is required, and the installation is aborted. You must allocate sufficient disk space and then start the VMSINSTAL procedure again. However, if you have already provided enough disk space, the installation procedure continues.
  8. Purge extraneous versions of files.
    VMSINSTAL asks if you want to purge any files that are being replaced.


    * Do you want to purge files replaced by this installation [YES]?
    

    Enter YES if you want to save disk space or NO if you think the files may still be of use.
    If you enter a question mark (?) in response to this query, the following message is displayed:


    During this installation, new files will be provided to replace 
    existing versions.  You may purge these older versions to save disk 
    space, or keep them if you feel they may be of use.  Purging is 
    recommended.
    

  9. Define DCPS$LAYUP.
    Next, the installation procedure looks for a definition of the logical name DCPS$LAYUP in the system table in executive mode.
  10. Create directories.
    VMSINSTAL then attempts to create several directories. If they already exist, it displays additional messages indicating this:


    %VMSINSTAL-I-SYSDIR, This product creates system disk directory 
         VMI$ROOT:[SYSTEST.DCPS]. 
    %CREATE-I-EXISTS, VMI$ROOT:[SYSTEST.DCPS] already exists 
    %VMSINSTAL-I-SYSDIR, This product creates system disk directory 
         VMI$ROOT:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DCPS]. 
    %CREATE-I-EXISTS, VMI$ROOT:[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.DCPS] already exists 
    

  11. Make sure the queue manager is running.
    VMSINSTAL checks to see if the queue manager is running on your system.
    If the queue manager is not present, the Installation Verification Procedure (IVP) does not run, and the following messages are displayed on your screen:


    %DCPSppp-I-NOQUEMGR, System queue manager is not running
    -DCPSppp-I-NOQUEMGR, IVP will NOT run.  Installation continuing ... 
    

    The queue manager must be running if you want the installation to run the IVP.

  12. Stop queues.
    At this point, VMSINSTAL displays the following message on your screen:


    %DCPSppp-I-NOQUEST, No further questions will be asked.
    

    VMSINSTAL stops active DCPS queues, if any and if desired.


    %DCPSppp-I-STOPQUEUES, Stopping queues previously reported as active. 
    

  13. Restore the remaining save sets. As it restores each save set, VMSINSTAL reports on its progress:


    VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product saveset B ...
    VMSINSTAL-I-RESTORE, Restoring product saveset C ...
    

    This operation may require up to 10 minutes to complete.
    When all the save sets have been restored, VMSINSTAL instructs you to perform postinstallation procedures. Refer to the System Manager's GuideSystem Manager's Guide for full instructions.
    Next, VMSINSTAL moves the files from the temporary locations used during installation to their permanent directories.


    %VMSINSTAL-I-MOVEFILES, Files will now be moved to their target 
    directories...
    

  14. Verify a successful software loading procedure.
    The IVP verifies that the software was loaded properly. If the system queue manager is running, the IVP runs automatically and VMSINSTAL performs the following:
    1. Creates a temporary print queue
    2. Queues the test files in [SYSTEST.DCPS] to the temporary print queue DCPS$IVP_TEST
    3. Displays messages similar to the following:


    Job DCPS$IVP_POST (queue DCPS$IVP_TEST, entry 43) 
     started on DCPS$IVP_TEST 
    %DCPS-I-JOBSTART, Job DCPS$IVP_POST (queue DCPS$IVP_TEST, entry 43)

     started on DCPS$IVP_TEST 
     
    Job DCPS$IVP_LIST (queue DCPS$IVP_TEST, entry 49) completed 
    

    Note

    The IVP does not produce any hardcopy output.

    The IVP procedure automatically deletes the temporary queue when the IVP completes. You can print the IVP test files to a real printer later. (Refer to the System Manager's GuideSystem Manager's Guide.)
    You can also manually invoke the IVP after the installation by entering:


    $ @SYS$TEST:DCPS$IVP
    

    VMSINSTAL issues an informational message when the IVP is completed:


            IVP successful for OpenVMS DECprint Supervisor Software 
    

  15. Restart queues.
    VMSINSTAL restarts previously stopped queues if the installation is successful and issues its final messages:


    %DCPSppp-I-STARTQUEUES, Restarting queues previously reported as active.
