10. If you are performing an Update task, proceed to Step 11.
If you are performing an Add-On task, proceed to Step 12.
Update Tasks
11. This step is optional. Create files for product and keyword references.
a. If you have an old PRODLIST.PUB.SYS file, purge it or verify all products.
b. Create PRODLIST.PUB.SYS file. This file lists all the products that are on your support contract. The
list should match the list on your keyword certificate. Refer to “Creating a Product List” in Appendix
E, “CD-ROM Resources,” for directions on creating a PRODLIST file.
HPINSTAL references this file to determine automatically which products will be applied to your
system.
c. Create KEYFILE.PUB.SYS file. this file contains the keyword necessary to unlock the products in
PRODLIST.PUB.SYS on the CD-ROM. Refer to Appendix E, “CD-ROM Resources,” for directions on
creating a keyfile file.
d. If you are adding-on new products, the new product numbers and keyword will only be requested
interactively as part of the HPINSTAL process.
e. Proceed to Step 13.
12. If you are creating a CSLT for applying to a Remote system, proceed to Step 13.
If you are performing a Add-on or Update task for the local system only, proceed to Step 14.
Remote Tasks
13. This step is optional. If you are creating a CSLT on the local system, for applying to a remote system, and
you have additional files you want to include on the STORE portion of the CSLT:
a. Create a file, addfile, that lists any files you want to include on the CSLT, such as third-party or
in-house product files.
b. Set up a file equation to equate addfile to indirlst. hpinstal checks the indirlst file for
additional files and adds them to the CSLT.
:FILE INDIRLST=addfile.group.account
c. Proceed to Step 14.
14. Set up the HPINSTAL environment by invoking the SETUP script.
:SETUP.INSTUTIL
Execute SETINIT command to cleanup any previous HPINSTAL accounting structure, if prompted.
:SETINIT
A series of messages display. The process takes about five minutes. The final message is:
setup is complete
15. If you are performing a PowerPatch task, proceed to Step 16.
If you are performing an Add-on or Update task without a PowerPatch, proceed to the next section on
your checklist.
PowerPatch Tasks
16. Mount the PowerPatch tape and restore the latest version of the HPINSTAL tool.
