OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3

| Previous | Contents | Index |
Before you can use the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating system and its components, you must register all licenses in one of two ways:
Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys?
|
In addition to reviewing the license information provided in this chapter, you can also refer to the following:
The operating system uses one or more of the following types of licenses, depending on your hardware and software configuration.
All Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Base and SMP licenses include the NO_SHARE attribute and remain with the initial host computer. |
| Type of License | Description |
|---|---|
| Operating System Base License | Grants the right to noninteractive use of the remote batch, print, application, and computing services of the operating system on a single processor and authorizes one direct login (for system management purposes only). This license is a prerequisite for Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Interactive User Licenses. |
| Interactive User Licenses |
Grant the right to interactive use of the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating
system, provided you have previously installed the appropriate
Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Operating System Base License on your Alpha computer.
These licenses, which are concurrent, are available in any quantity
desired or as an unlimited user license.
You can add interactive users to the computer at any time by specifying the same node name on the additional Interactive User License PAK and by following the license combination procedure described in the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual. |
|
Symmetric Multiprocessing
(SMP) Extension to the Operating System Base License |
Upgrades the Operating System Base License and all Interactive User
licenses (including Unlimited) to the matching multiprocessing level of
your DEC 4000 or DEC 7000 series Alpha computer.
Because the Symmetric Multiprocessing (SMP) Extension grants all the rights the existing Base and User licenses provided at the uniprocessing level, you do not need to reinstall those licenses when you upgrade to a multiprocessing system. Each time you upgrade your system to a new multiprocessing level (for example, from a DEC 7000 Model 620 Alpha system to a DEC 7000 Model 630 Alpha system), you add an SMP Extension to your existing licenses. |
After you install the OpenVMS Alpha operating system, the system displays the following message:
If you have Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to register,
you can register them now.
Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys? (Yes/No) [Yes]
|
Respond to the prompt as follows:
| IF ... | THEN ... |
|---|---|
| you choose to register your licenses at this time (which Compaq recommends), |
do the following:
|
| you choose not to register your licenses at this time, |
do the following:
|
Entering Y (Yes) to register your licenses during the installation invokes the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure, which displays the following message:
VMS License Management Utility Options:
1. REGISTER a Product Authorization Key
2. AMEND an existing Product Authorization Key
3. CANCEL an existing Product Authorization Key
4. LIST Product Authorization Keys
5. MODIFY an existing Product Authorization Key
6. DISABLE an existing Product Authorization Key
7. DELETE an existing Product Authorization Key
8. COPY an existing Product Authorization Key
9. MOVE an existing Product Authorization Key
10. ENABLE an existing Product Authorization Key
11. SHOW the licenses loaded on this node
12. SHOW the unit requirements for this node
99. Exit this procedure
Type '?' at any prompt for a description of the information
requested. Press Ctrl/Z at any prompt to return to this menu.
Enter one of the above choices [1]
|
The following sections describe the remaining steps that you need to
perform to complete the installation.
3.5.1 Choosing Descriptive Help Text
Next, the system prompts you as follows:
The installation can provide brief or detailed descriptions. In either case, you can request the detailed descriptions by typing "?". Do you always want detailed descriptions? (Yes/No) [No] |
If you answer Yes, the system will display additional explanatory text
with each prompt.
3.5.2 Selecting Components
The system next displays the following message, indicating that the procedure is ready to install the operating system:
The following product has been selected:
DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3 Platform (product suite)
Configuration phase starting ...
You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and for
any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency requirements.

When you have answered all the prompts and selected the components you want installed, the system allows you to review your selections (and make changes if necessary), then installs the product, provides informational messages, and returns you to the menu. The following is a sample display:
If you perform two installations at the same time to systems connected by MEMORY CHANNEL, you may see a message similar to the following every 5 seconds:
Disregard the message. The installation or upgrade will proceed normally and the messages will not be present when the system reboots with its actual node name. |
Do you want to review the options? [NO]

Section 3.7.
3.6 Installing Layered Products
You can use the menu system included on the operating system CD-ROM to install certain layered products with the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility. You can view a list of the layered products that can be installed in this way by choosing option 2 from the menu. (To install layered products that are not listed, see Chapter 4 and the installation documentation for each layered product.)
You may see the following product name while installing layered products:
DEC AXPVMS UCX V4.2-PLACEHOLDER
|
Do not attempt to install this kit. This is a "dummy" that is needed to facilitate upgrading from the prior UCX implementation of Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS to the new implementation.
If you do attempt to install this kit, the following message will be displayed:
The UCX implementation of TCP/IP Services is obsolete and is not
supported on OpenVMS V7.2 and higher versions.
Starting with OpenVMS V7.2, the UCX implementation of TCP/IP
services is replaced by the new TCPIP product.
This is a placeholder kit to satisfy OpenVMS upgrade requirements
so that UCX can be automatically upgraded to TCPIP.
You cannot use this kit to install UCX.
|
The installation will then terminate.
You can install (or upgrade to) the new implementation of Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS, version 5.1, as part of the OpenVMS upgrade. If you wish to install version 5.1 separately, choose the product:
DEC AXPVMS TCPIP V5.1
