Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]
During an upgrade, the PCSI utility defines default values as the values that you selected when
you last installed or upgraded the OpenVMS operating system on your system. Therefore, before
you respond to the prompt, note the following:
• If you accept the default values, you receive the same components that you selected when
you last installed or upgraded the system (instead of all the components currently available)
plus any new components that were not in the previous version of the OpenVMS operating
system.
• If you want to include or exclude any components differently than you did in the last
installation or upgrade, you must answer NO and then respond to the prompts for each
option, even those that you are not changing.
• If you want to review the current defaults first, answer NO. Then answer YES when the
procedure asks whether you want to view the values.
If you review the defaults and are satisfied, answer YES to the prompt asking whether you
are satisfied with the values. If you want to make changes, answer NO to that question and
then answer YES when the procedure asks whether you want to reenter the values.
When you select component options, also note the following:
• Whether you choose all the default values or select individual files, the procedure allows
you to view your selections and make changes.
• If you are not sure whether you want certain component options, you can request help by
entering a question mark (?) at the prompt for that component (or group of components).
• You should review the list of options and compare them with the requirements for your
procedure. If you are selecting components individually, be sure that you include all
components necessary to support the needs of your users. Note also that certain components
depend upon the installation of other components.
• OpenVMS Management Station software is installed automatically on your OpenVMS system
disk when you accept all the default values. If you do not accept the default values, you
must select the OpenVMS Management Station component (server and client files) if you
plan to use that product. After the upgrade is complete, you can then prepare your OpenVMS
system and your PC to run OpenVMS Management Station by following the procedures
described in Appendix G (page 257).
• If you decide after the upgrade to change which OpenVMS operating system components
you want installed on your system, you must reconfigure the installation as described in
Section 7.11 (page 136).
• After you boot the upgraded system disk and log in, you can obtain information about
individual system files by entering HELP SYSTEM_FILES at the dollar sign prompt ($).
