Preparing Your System

4.3 Preparing to Run HPINSTAL

This section lists procedures for preparing to use the CD-ROM update and add-on tool, HPINSTAL. Refer to

Appendix E, “CD-ROM Resources,” for additional CD-ROM set up information.

To prepare your local system to create a CSLT using HPINSTAL:

1. Log on.

:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI

If you are not working at the console, allow yourself the VSCLOSE and VSOPEN commands.

:ALLOW MANAGER.SYS;COMMANDS=VSCLOSE,VSOPEN

2. Start the LP and streams_device.

:SPOOLER LP;START

:STREAMS streams_device

An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. A common streams_device value is 10. Already spooled and

streamed messages might display.

3. Load the CD-ROM disk labelled MPE_v.uu.ff_1 into the CD-ROM disk drive.

v.uu.ff is the version.update.fix level of the software. Write the v.uu.ff level on the checklist.

HPINSTAL prompts for the second disk when required.

4. If you have SCSI CD-ROM drives, manually mount the disk.

:AVRSCSI “MOUNTldev#”

where ldev# is the logical device number of the SCSI CD-ROM disk drive.

When the CD-ROM disk is loaded, AVRSCSI returns the message:

Successfully mounted LDEV n

5. Verify that the CD-ROM drive status indicates MASTER-RO.

:DSTAT

This is a sample DSTAT response:

LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)

11-CD-ROM MASTER-RO HPINSTAL (MPE_C.55.00_1-0)

12-CD-ROM MASTER-RO HPINSTAL (MPE_C.55.00_2-0)

6. If the DSTAT status shows LONER, put the CD-ROM disks on-line.

:VSOPEN MPE_v.uu.ff_1

:VSOPEN MPE_v.uu.ff_2

If you have only one CD-ROM drive, put only the first CD-ROM disk on-line now.

Run the DSTAT command again to verify the drives have a status of MASTER-RO.

7. Create directory entries to enable access to group INSTUTIL on volume set MPE_v.uu.ff_1.

:LISTGROUP INSTUTIL

8. If the INSTUTIL group is non-existent, create the INSTUTIL group and set home volume set.

:NEWGROUP INSTUTIL;HOMEVS=MPE_v.uu.ff_1

9. If the home volume set field displays a different v.uu.ff than the new version:
