For software providers, the POLYCENTER Software In-
stallation utility simplifies the task of packaging software
by providing a simple, declarative language for describ-
ing material for the installation kit and defining how it
is installed. The utility handles the functions, while the
developer instructs the utility what to do. This signifi-
cantly reduces the complexity and time to develop instal-
lation procedures. The language allows the developer
to easily specify dependencies on other software, man-
age objects in the execution environment (such as files
and directories), and anticipate and resolve conflict be-
fore it occurs. The utility also significantly simplifies the
packaging of multiple software products into one logical
product suite.
For OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS I64, you use the
POLYCENTER Software Installation utility to install the
operating system and to install layered products that are
compliant with the POLYCENTER utility.
VMSINSTAL
OpenVMS includes the VMSINSTAL facility to handle
the installation of optional HP supplied software prod-
ucts that have not been converted to use the POLY-
CENTER Software Installation utility.
Test Package and Diagnostics
OpenVMS includes a User Environment Test Package
(UETP), which verifies that the OpenVMS operating sys-
tem is properly installed and ready for use on the cus-
tomer’s systems.
You can run diagnostics on individual devices during
normal system operation. Certain critical components
can operate in degraded mode.

Note: The minimum OpenVMS files listed in the table
will allow you to run with minimal functionality. Not all
OpenVMS commands and utilities will function fully as
documented in this minimum configuration. Not all HP
and other layered products will work in this minimum
configuration.
The minimum OpenVMS files are for a system config-
uration where all optional features have been declined
during the initial installation. For most applications, this
is not a realistic OpenVMS environment.
