The message may indicate zero installation files. This only means that the products
you are installing do not require an installation file. AUTOINST continues with the
product installation.
When the installation files have been streamed, you will see a message similar to the
following on the system console.
All product installation jobs have been streamed successfully.
When this message appears, break and abort AUTOINST immediately. If AUTOINST
continues, it will create a new CSLT, like the copy you already have.
7. Purge the following groups.
:PURGEGROUP UNL.SYS
:PURGEGROUP USL.SYS
:PURGEGROUP UXL.SYS
:PURGE HPINSTFL.INSTALL.SYS
8. If you applied patches to your 5.0 or 5.5 system, you need to restore the patch files that
may be appended to the CSLT created during the 5.0 or 5.5 patch install.
a. Execute AUTOINST recovery.
:AUTOINST RECOVERY
AUTOINST automatically begins to modify the system and restores the appropriate
files. AUTOINST displays the following message during the restore:
Mount the CSLT/STORE tape and put the tape drive online.
***************Please stand by*********************
The patch STORE files from the CSLT/STORE tape are being restored.
...
The STORE files from the CSLT/STORE tape were successfully
restored.
The time required to restore the files depends on the number of files, and may take
up to 10 minutes (per 2400-foot reel).
AUTOINST automatically streams the installation jobs that complete the installation
of most products.
If AUTOINST was successful, an END OF PROGRAM message is displayed.
b. Ensure that the correct version of NMCONFIG and HPSWINFO are on your system,
mount the backup tape that contains these files (from the prior release) or the STORE
tape referenced in the section, “Patch Considerations,” earlier in this Appendix and
restore them to your system:
:CHGROUP PUB
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;NMCONFIG,HPSWINFO;OLDDATE;DEV=1;SHOW
c. Decide if you need to modify the configuration to configure devices not configured in
the restored file.
