3.4 Running VMSINSTAL.COM
command; the distribution media then finds and displays the products that are
included.
How to Perform This Task
To obtain the product list, enter commands in the following format:
MOUNT/OVERRIDE=ID device:
DIRECTORY device:[0,0]
where device is the drive that holds the distribution media.
If you are installing from a disk directory, obtain the product list by entering
DIRECTORY and specifying the disk directory in the following format:
DIRECTORY node::device:[directory]
Examples
1.
$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=ID MUA0:
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, VMS071 mounted on _MUA0:
$ DIRECTORY MUA0:[0,0]
The DIRECTORY command in this example directs the distribution media to
find the products included on the MUA0: drive; for example:
Directory MUA0:[000,000]
000000.DIR;1 BACKUP.SYS;1 BADBLK.SYS;1 BADLOG.SYS;1
BITMAP.SYS;1 CONTIN.SYS;1 CORIMG.SYS;1 DECW071.C;1
DECW071.D;1 DECW071.E;1 DECW071.F;1 INDEXF.SYS;1
ISL_SCRIPT.ESS;1 SECURITY.SYS;1 SYS0.DIR;1 VMS071.A;1
VMS071.B;1 VMS071.C;1 VMS071.D;1 VMS071.E;1
VMS071.F;1 VOLSET.SYS;1
Total of 22 files.
2.
$ DIRECTORY BRAVO::DUA1:[0,0]
The DIRECTORY command in this example directs the distribution media to
find the products on the node BRAVO, which is on the DUA1: device.
Note
To access a remote node, you must have read and execute access (R,E) to
the directory.
3.4.2 Selecting the Source
The source parameter identifies the source of the optional software product as one
of the following ones:
• A drive that holds the distribution media; for example, a TK50 drive
designated as the MUA0: drive.
• A disk directory to which the product save set has been transferred from the
distribution media for later installation.
You specify a disk directory as the source when you select the Get Save Set
option. For more information about this option, see Section 3.6.3.
• A disk directory on another node.
