b. Dismount the SUBSYS tape when the restore complete message displays.
The SUBSYS tape has been successfully restored.
AUTOINST automatically streams the installation jobs that complete the installation of most products.
Begin processing installation files.
Processing n installation files.
... *the number of dots equals n*
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 7.0, 6.5, or 6.0 system, you need to restore the patch files that may be
appended to the CSLT created during the 7.0, 6.5, or 6.0 patch installation.
a. Execute AUTOINST recovery.
:AUTOINST RECOVERY
AUTOINST automatically begins to modify the system and restores the appropriate files. Mount the
CSLT tape again and reply to the tape request when the following message displays:
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.
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.
9. Proceed to “Finishing Up.”
