7.15 Installing and Configuring Layered Products (New Installations, Some Upgrades)
The OpenVMS operating system kit includes several
layered products. These include the System Integrated Product (SIP)
kits for the following products that are installed automatically:
Availability Manager (base) for OpenVMS (required)
CDSA for OpenVMS (required)
Kerberos for OpenVMS (required)
SSL for OpenVMS (required)
Performance Data Collector base software, TDC_RT (required)
HP Binary Checker for OpenVMS
WBEM Services for OpenVMS (OpenVMS Integrity servers only; required)
WBEM Providers for OpenVMS (OpenVMS Integrity servers only; required)
These layered products also include the SIP kits
for the following products that you can install optionally as part
of the OpenVMS operating system installation:
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS
DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
These layered products are included in the operating
system media and can be installed using either the steps shown in
this section or the alternative procedure described in Section 7.15.1. Other layered products—whether
provided by HP on other CDs in the operating system distribution,
in the Software Product Library CD set, or on a CD provided by a third-party
company—should be installed using the steps shown in Section 7.15.1.
In addition to the SIPs, the OpenVMS Integrity
servers OE DVD includes kits for various products that are part of
the OpenVMS OEs. HP does not support installing these OE product
kits while booted from the OE DVD. To install these OE products,
you must use the procedure described in Section 7.15.1.
As of Version 8.3, most PCSI kits included on
the OpenVMS distribution media are signed using Secure Delivery.
Signed PCSI kits that are installed from the OpenVMS Integrity servers
operating system distribution media are validated. (Kits installed from the OpenVMS Alpha operating
system distribution CD are not validated; this restriction is due
to space limitations of the distribution CD.) On both OpenVMS Alpha
and Integrity server systems, signed PCSI kits that you install subsequently are validated
(including signed kits on the distribution media).
NOTE: To use menu option 3, the target system must have the identical
version of the OpenVMS operating system as the operating system media.
If you need to install layered products on a target system that has
a different version of the operating system, use the alternative procedure.
To use option 3 of the operating system menu,
follow these steps:
Before
you install any layered products, be sure you back up the system disk.
If
you are not already booted from the operating system media, shut down
the system and boot the operating system media. For instructions
on how to shut down the OpenVMS Integrity servers system, see Section B.7; for instructions on how to shut down the OpenVMS Alpha system,
see Section B.7.2.
To
view a list of products that can be installed, choose option 2 on
the menu. If the layered product that you want to install is not
listed in the display, install the product by using the alternative
procedure described in Section 7.15.1, or see the documentation you received
with the layered product. Note that HP does not support VMSINSTAL,
PRODUCT INSTALL, or other PRODUCT commands from the DCL option on
the operating system menu.
To
install layered products, choose option 3 on the menu. For more instructions,
see Section 1.4.3.
After
the installation completes, shut down the system by selecting option
9 on the menu. When you boot the target system, the layered products
you installed will be present.
For additional information about installing layered
products, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
7.15.1 Alternative Procedure
Use this alternative procedure to install the
following products:
Layered products on a target system that has a different
operating system version than that of the operating system media (CD/DVD)
Layered products that require VMSINSTAL (indicated
in the directories by save-set file names with file types of .A, .B,
and so on)
OpenVMS Integrity servers OE products
SIP kits (as an alternative to using menu option 3
of the operating system menu on the media)
Products on the Layered Products, Freeware, System
Tools, and e-Business Integration and Infrastructure CDs
Third-party software products (such as database products,
accounting software, and so forth)
For a list of layered products you can install,
see the Software Product Descriptions included with your operating
system kit. Note that some products require a license key (PAK) from
HP.
Follow these steps:
Before
you install all your layered products, be sure you back up the system
disk. In addition, ensure that a license has been loaded for the
software. Note also that most layered products require changes to
SYSGEN parameters or AUTHORIZE values, and to system files such as
SYLOGICALS.COM, SYLOGIN.COM, and SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM. For more information,
see the following:
Installation guides for
these layered products
HP OpenVMS
System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
After
your target system disk runs AUTOGEN and boots (if necessary), mount
the OpenVMS operating system media. For example, if the device with
the operating system media is DKA400:, use the following command:
$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA400
Locate
the directories and files containing the available layered products.
For example, if the device name is DKA400:, enter the following command:
$ DIRECTORY /NOHEAD/NOTRAIL DKA400:[*.KIT]
You can use the PRODUCT FIND command to locate
kits by using the PCSI utility. For example:
$ PRODUCT FIND * /SOURCE=DKA400:[*.KIT]
To
install layered products that require VMSINSTAL (indicated in the
directories by save-set file names with file types of .A, .B, and
so on), enter the @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL command and then specify the
device name and directory at the prompt. For example:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL* Where will the distribution volumes be mounted: DKA400:[DIAA032.KIT]
To install layered products that require the PCSI
utility (indicated in the directories by file names with file types
of .PCSI or .PCSI$COMPRESSED), use the PRODUCT INSTALL command to
specify the device name and directory. Following is an example of
the PRODUCT INSTALL command on an Integrity servers system:
