The following sections describe how to use the
operating system menu to install, upgrade, and modify your system
disk, and perform other related tasks.
NOTE: The OpenVMS Alpha CD and OpenVMS Integrity servers DVD menu
options are very similar. This section provides examples from the
OpenVMS Integrity servers menu system.
The OpenVMS operating system main menu displays
automatically when you boot the OpenVMS operating system from the
operating system media (for instructions on
how to boot from the operating system media, see Section 3.2). From the
menu, you can choose options to perform any of the following
tasks:
Install or upgrade the
operating system from the operating system media.
Display a list of products
that can be installed from the operating system media.
Install or upgrade layered products from the operating system media.
Show which products are
installed on your system.
Reconfigure layered products
installed on your system.
Remove products.
Find, install, and remove
patches, and display and remove recovery data.
Enter the DCL environment
from which you can perform preinstallation or maintenance tasks, such
as mounting or showing devices and backing up or restoring files on
the system disk.
Shut down the system.
The following is a sample display of the OpenVMS
main menu:

Review the following sections to understand how
the menu works. Then you can choose appropriate menu options when
you are asked to do so before, during, and after an installation or
upgrade.
1.4.1 Using the Install, Upgrade, or Reconfigure OpenVMS Option (1)
Select option 1 on the operating system main menu
to install, upgrade, or reconfigure your OpenVMS software. Selecting
option 1 implements a PCSI utility concept called a platform. The OpenVMS platform contains:
The OpenVMS operating system
Kerberos, Common Data Security Architecture (CDSA),
HPBinarychecker, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
Performance Data Collector (TDC) (base), and Availability Manager (base), all of which are installed
automatically with OpenVMS, and for OpenVMS Integrity servers only,
WBEM Services for OpenVMS, and WBEM Providers for OpenVMS.
NOTE: For use of Instant Capacity (iCAP), Temporary
Instant Capacity (TiCAP), (supported
on cell-based Integrity servers), and for support of such
products as gWLM and HP Systems Insight Manager (HP SIM), you must
install TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. SSL for OpenVMS is
required and is installed automatically.
Including the optional products in the OpenVMS
platform allows you to install or upgrade these products along with
the OpenVMS operating system.
When you choose to upgrade the system disk, and
the OpenVMS software on the disk is the same version, you are given
options to reinstall or to reconfigure the OpenVMS system or reconfigure
the OpenVMS platform.
Before installing or upgrading OpenVMS, see the
information in the following chapters, as appropriate:
NOTE: Before installing or upgrading OpenVMS on a target
drive in an OpenVMS Cluster, make sure the target system disk is not
mounted elsewhere in the cluster. The target system disk must be
dismounted clusterwide (except on the system from which the installation
or upgrade is being performed) and must remain so during the installation
or upgrade.
When you select option 1 on the operating system
main menu, the system asks whether you want to preserve or initialize
the system disk. The display is similar to the following:
There are two choices for Installation/Upgrade:
INITIALIZE - Removes all software and data files that were
previously on the target disk and installs OpenVMS I64.
PRESERVE -- Installs or upgrades OpenVMS I64 on the target disk
and retains all other contents of the target disk.
* Note: You cannot use PRESERVE to install OpenVMS I64 on a disk on
which any other operating system is installed. This includes
implementations of OpenVMS for other architectures.
Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE]
1.4.1.1 INITIALIZE Option
When you specify the INITIALIZE option, the following
operations take place:
All software and data
files that already exist on the target disk are removed. The software
can only be recovered from a backup of the disk, so make sure that
you either have a backup or will not need the data again.
The operating system is
installed.
Specify the INITIALIZE option and perform a full
installation under any of the following conditions:
If your computer is new
(it has never had any version of any operating system running on it,
including factory-installed software).
If your computer is already
running a version of the OpenVMS operating system and you want to
overwrite the entire contents of the system disk (the operating system,
application software, and user files).
If you want to keep an
existing system disk and install OpenVMS on a different disk.
If you are running the
OpenVMS operating system but cannot upgrade. For example, if you
changed the names of system directories on the system disk, the upgrade
procedure will not work correctly. Therefore, unless you restore
the system disk to its original directory structure, you must reinstall
the operating system using the INITIALIZE option.
NOTE: During initialization of an OpenVMS Integrity
servers target system disk, the installation process creates a diagnostic partition, visible only at the console prompt.
For more information about this partition and options you can take,
see Appendix J.
For systems that support the Instant Capacity
(iCAP) feature, CPU status (how many cores are available and how much
time they have remaining) is not affected by initialization of the
system disk. Such information is stored in NVRAM on the Integrity
servers.
1.4.1.2 PRESERVE Option
When you specify the PRESERVE option, the following
operations take place:
IF ...
THEN ...
The OpenVMS operating system is not already installed on the target
disk and no other operating system is installed on the disk
The operating system is installed.
All other contents of the target disk are retained.
The OpenVMS operating system is installed
on the target disk
The operating system is upgraded, as follows:
Old operating system files and new files are merged
or replaced.
All other contents of the target disk are retained.
NOTE: You cannot install OpenVMS on a disk where
another operating system is installed. For example, you cannot take
a UNIX disk, select the PRESERVE option, and then install OpenVMS
on the disk. The UNIX disk is not structured in the format that OpenVMS
requires.
If you intend to choose the PRESERVE option (because
there are certain files on the disk that you want to retain), HP recommends
that you first make a backup copy of your system disk. If there is
any problem during the installation or upgrade that might affect the
integrity of the disk, you will have the backup copy as a safeguard.
If you choose the PRESERVE option and choose a
target disk that already contains the OpenVMS Version 8.4 software,
you are provided with the option to either reconfigure or reinstall
the OpenVMS operating system:
Reconfigure the operating system if you want to change
the options you chose to include when the operating system was installed.
Reinstall the operating system if you think that your
system files might have become corrupted.
For additional configuration information, see Section 7.12.
1.4.2 Using the Display Layered Products Option (2)
Use option 2 to display layered products that
can be installed.
NOTE: Although option 2 displays any patch kits available
from the OpenVMS distribution media, HP recommends using option 7
to display patch kits; option 7 enables you to specify locations to
search in addition to the standard location.
When you select option 2 on the operating system
main menu, the following information is displayed:
The version of OpenVMS and versions of the required
components and optional products that can be installed or upgraded
when you select option 1 on the main menu.
The layered product kits that are available for installation
when you select option 3 on the operating system main menu. The DECwindows
graphical user interface and HP networking products are shown again,
along with other layered products.
NOTE: The two lists of products (the products that can
be installed or upgraded and the layered product kits available for
installation) might be the same or very similar. Generally, products
that can be installed or upgraded along with the OpenVMS operating
system should be installed or upgraded with the OpenVMS operating
system.
The following is an example of a display. WBEMCIM
is the file name used in the PCSI kit for the WBEM Services for OpenVMS
product, which is available on OpenVMS Integrity server systems only.
CIM stands for the Common Information Model, which differentiates
the current OpenVMS WBEM product from the original one that is based
on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). The version numbers
in this example do not necessarily reflect the version numbers of
the products actually shipped with OpenVMS Version 8.4.
The following versions of the OpenVMS operating system,
required components and optional other products
are available on the OpenVMS distribution media (CD/DVD).
They can be installed by selecting option 1:
HP I64VMS VMS version V8.4
HP I64VMS AVAIL_MAN_BASE V8.4
HP I64VMS CDSA version V2.3-306
HP I64VMS KERBEROS version V3.1-152
HP I64VMS SSL V1.4-284
HP I64VMS TDC_RT version V2.3-1
HP I64VMS HPBINARYCHECKER version V1.0
HP I64VMS WBEMCIM version V2.91-A070728
HP I64VMS WBEMPROVIDERS version V2.0-31
HP I64VMS DWMOTIF version V1.7
HP I64VMS DECNET_PLUS version V8.4
HP I64VMS DECNET_PHASE_IV version V8.4
HP I64VMS TCPIP version V5.7
The following Layered Product kits are available on the OpenVMS
Distribution media (CD/DVD). They can be installed by selecting
option 3. If they are already installed, they can be reconfigured
by selecting option 5, or removed by selecting option 6.

1.4.3 Using the Install or Upgrade Layered Products Option (3)
Use option 3 on the operating system main menu
for normal installations or upgrades of the layered products.
NOTE: Although option 3 installs any patch kits available
from the OpenVMS distribution media, HP recommends using option 7
to install patch kits; option 7 enables you to install patch kits
that are not located in the standard location. In addition, option
7 saves recovery data; when you use option 7 to remove patch kits,
only kits with recovery data are removed.
You can use option 1 to install or upgrade the
DECwindows graphical user interface and HP networking products along
with the OpenVMS operating system.
When you select option 3, the PCSI utility allows
you to choose whether to install layered products or to register layered
products that are on the target disk but are not in the Product Database.
If you attempt to reinstall the same version of a product that is
already installed, the product is reinstalled. Any patches that
were applied to the product are removed. If you want to reconfigure,
select the reconfigure option (5) on the main menu.
As of Version 8.3, most of the software kits included
on the OpenVMS distribution media are signed using Secure Delivery.
When you use option 3 of the OpenVMS Integrity servers operating
system menu, these kits are validated by the PCSI utility. When you use option 3 from the OpenVMS Alpha operating
system menu, these kits are not validated; this restriction is due
to the CD’s space limitations. You can install kits
created before the secure delivery process was enabled in OpenVMS
Version 8.3. (However, after you install or upgrade to OpenVMS
Version 8.3 or later, signed kits that you install subsequently
are validated, including any signed kits included on the distribution
media.) The DCL command PRODUCT SHOW HISTORY displays the validation
status of these kits as unsigned rather than as a validated kit.
As shown in the following example, you are also
prompted for a target disk and asked whether you want brief or detailed
descriptions. The procedure presents a list of products and allows
you to select any or all of these products. Alternatively, you can
exit without installing or upgrading any products.
NOTE: The layered products listed
include the required CDSA, HPBinarychecker, Kerberos, SSL, TDC, and Availability Manager, and for OpenVMS Integrity
servers only, WBEM Services for OpenVMS, and WBEM Providers for OpenVMS.
Also included are the optional DECwindows, DECnet Phase IV, DECnet-Plus,
and TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS products. Support of such features
as Instant Capacity (iCAP), Temporary Instant Capacity (TiCAP), and for
products such as gWLM and HP SIM, requires TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. When you use HP SIM to provision OpenVMS on Integrity servers, TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS is automatically selected for installation.
You can install (or upgrade to) the new implementation
of TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS (Version 5.7) as part of the OpenVMS
upgrade. If you want to install Version 5.7 separately, choose the
following product, selecting the appropriate option as in the example
that follows.

NOTE: When you boot the OpenVMS operating system media
and select the option to install layered products, the installation
procedure for the selected layered product(s) does not run the Installation
Verification Procedure (IVP) for layered products. Because the operating
system is booted from the media and the layered products are installed
on a different device (the target drive), the IVPs cannot execute
correctly. However, you can run the IVP for each layered product
after you boot the target system (see the layered product installation
documents for information about running the IVP).
1.4.4 Using the Show Installed Products Option (4)

database.
The following is a sample display of the prompts
and information that appear when you select option 4. WBEM Services
for OpenVMS and WBEM Providers for OpenVMS are available on OpenVMS
Integrity server systems only. The version numbers in this example
do not necessarily reflect the version numbers of the products actually
shipped with OpenVMS Version 8.4.
You must enter the device name for the system disk for which
you want to display installed products.
If you enter an invalid device or one which is not a system disk
an error will occur.

1.4.5 Using the Reconfigure Installed Products Option (5)
Use option 5 to reconfigure layered products,
including the DECwindows graphical user interface and HP networking
products. This allows you to change the product choices you made during
a previous installation or upgrade.
You can reconfigure a product only if all of the
following conditions are true:
The product is available for installation while your
system is booted from the operating system media. For information
about displaying products that are available for installation, see Section 1.4.2 (option 2 on the
main menu).
The product is installed. For information about displaying
installed products, see Section 1.4.4 (option 4 on the main menu).
The version of the product that is available for installation
is the same as the version of the product that is installed.
When you select option 5 on the operating system
main menu, the procedure prompts you for a target disk name and asks
whether you want brief or detailed descriptions about the reconfiguration
options. The procedure then lists the products you can configure.
You can select any or all of these products, or you can exit without
reconfiguring products.
The following is a sample display of the prompts

1.4.6 Using the Remove Installed Products Option (6)
Option 6 allows you to remove products that were
installed or registered with the PCSI utility. (This option removes
complete products. To remove patches, use option 7, as described in Section 1.4.7.)
IMPORTANT: Do not remove the following system-integrated
products (SIPs): Availability Manager, CDSA,
HPBinarychecker, Kerberos, SSL, TDC_RT, WBEM Services for OpenVMS
(WBEMCIM), and WBEM Providers for OpenVMS. These products are tightly
bound with the operating system. Attempts to remove any of these
products might not work as expected and can create undesirable side
effects.
When you select option 6, you are prompted for
a target disk name and whether you want brief or detailed descriptions

5) Find patch kits
Enter CHOICE or X to return to main menu: (1/2/3/4/5/X)
Note the following about these options:
When
you choose submenu option 1, the following information is displayed:
NOTE: Some patch kits cannot be correctly installed by this
procedure; this includes patch kits for versions of
OpenVMS prior to V8.3. Patches for OpenVMS V8.3 and
later install correctly. For patches to other products,
check with the patch kit provider, or install the patch
from the running system.
Options 2 through 5 (undo, show, delete, and find) will work
correctly for all patch kits.
When you choose submenu
option 1, 2, 3, or 4, you are prompted for the target device on which
to perform the operation:
You must enter the device name for the target disk on which
the operation will be performed.
Enter device name for target disk: (? for choices) [DKB300]
When you choose submenu
option 1, you are prompted to choose detailed or brief descriptions,
as follows:
The patch operation 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]
For each of the submenu
options (1 through 5), you are prompted for the patch kit source.
You can specify alternate locations. You can use wildcards when you
specify the location. The prompt and introductory information are
displayed as follows:
This procedure will look for patch kits in
SYS$SYSDEVICE:[KITS.*]
If you want to add an additional location, enter the
device and directory specification and press return.
Wildcards are allowed. For example:
dka100:[dir1]
dkb0:[dir1,dir2]
dka200:[dir1,*]
dkb300:[dir1...]
Enter the single letter "D" to reset the default location.
If you do not want to add an additional location, just press return
without entering anything.
Enter additional location, D, or just press Return:
After you provide the necessary information, a
PCSI /PRODUCT command automatically performs the operation you requested.
If you chose options 1, 2, or 4 from the submenu, the PCSI utility
prompts you for additional input and displays additional information.
1.4.8 Using the Execute DCL Option (8)
When you select option 8, you get access to a
subset of DCL commands (such as SHOW DEVICE, MOUNT, and BACKUP) to
perform specific preinstallation and maintenance operations. Note,
however, that this is a restricted DCL environment in that certain
DCL commands (such as PRODUCT) and certain utilities (such as VMSINSTAL)
do not function as expected because you are booting from read-only
or write-locked media, and because a full system startup has not been
performed.
A triple dollar sign prompt ($$$) indicates that
you are in this restricted DCL environment, as in the following example:
$$$ SHOW DEVICE
To exit the DCL environment and return to the
main menu, enter the LOGOUT command.
1.4.9 Using the Shutdown Option (9)
When you select option 9 on the operating system
main menu, your system shuts down and you are returned to the console
prompt (>>> on Alpha systems; P00>>>
on Integrity servers). The system displays a message similar to the
following (this example shows the message from an OpenVMS Integrity
server system):
Shutting down the system
SYSTEM SHUTDOWN COMPLETE
**** Primary HALTED with code HWRPB_HALT$K_REMAIN_HALTED
**** Hit any key to cold reboot ****
P00>>>
