Chapter 2 Installing the Remote Annex 2000
Installing the Operational Software and Image on a VAX VMS Load
Host
Prerequisites
The following should be in place before you install the software and
image on your load host.
❑ Your load host must be running VMS 5.5 (or higher).
❑ Your load host must be running DECnet VAX™.
❑ The Ethernet controller must be on the same Ethernet as the
Annex.
❑ The CMKRNL and SYSPRIV privileges must be enabled.
❑ The load host has at least 4000 blocks of available disk space
(on any disk), and up to an additional 17,000 blocks available
(depending on the amount of memory installed in the
Annex) if dumps are to be supported.
In a VMS environment, dumps do not overwrite
each other, as VMS allows multiple versions of the
same file. Therefore, up to 17,000 blocks of memory
must be available for each Remote Annex dump.
❑ The system is backed up before installing the software.
❑ The software medium is mounted on an appropriate device
drive, unless you are installing from save sets copied from
another load host.
Installation

system load host. To stop the installation at any time, press

1 Log into the system manager account.
