Installation and Upgrade Guide

7.14 Installing and Configuring Layered Products (New Installations, Some
Upgrades)
The OpenVMS operating system kit includes several layered products. These include the System
Integrated Product (SIP) kits for the following products that are installed automatically:
• Availability Manager (base) for OpenVMS (required)
• CDSA for OpenVMS (required)
• Kerberos for OpenVMS (required)
• SSL for OpenVMS (required)
• Performance Data Collector base software, TDC_RT (required)
• WBEM Services for OpenVMS
• WBEM Providers for OpenVMS
These layered products also include the SIP kits for the following products that you can install
optionally as part of the OpenVMS operating system installation:
• DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
• DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS
• DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS
• TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
These layered products are included in the operating system media and can be installed using
either the steps shown in this section or the alternative procedure described in Section 7.14.1
(page 142). Other layered products—whether provided by HP on other CDs in the operating
system distribution, in the Software Product Library CD set, or on a CD provided by a third-party
company—should be installed using the steps shown in Section 7.14.1 (page 142).
In addition to the SIPs, the OpenVMS I64 OE DVD includes kits for various products that are
part of the OpenVMS OEs. HP does not support installing these OE product kits while booted
from the OE DVD. To install these OE products, you must use the procedure described in
Section 7.14.1 (page 142).
As of Version 8.3, most PCSI kits included on the OpenVMS distribution media are signed using
Secure Delivery. Signed PCSI kits that are installed from the OpenVMS I64 operating system
distribution media are validated. Signed PCSI kits that you install subsequently are validated
(including signed kits on the distribution media).
NOTE: To use menu option 3, the target system must have the identical version of the OpenVMS
operating system as the operating system media. If you need to install layered products on a
target system that has a different version of the operating system, use the alternative procedure.
To use option 3 of the operating system menu, follow these steps:
1. Before you install any layered products, be sure you back up the system disk.
2. If you are not already booted from the operating system media, shut down the system and
boot the operating system media. For instructions on how to shut down the OpenVMS I64
system, see Section A.7 (page 184).
3. To view a list of products that can be installed, choose option 2 on the menu. If the layered
product that you want to install is not listed in the display, install the product by using the
alternative procedure described in Section 7.14.1 (page 142), or see the documentation you
received with the layered product. Note that HP does not support VMSINSTAL, PRODUCT
INSTALL, or other PRODUCT commands from the DCL option on the operating system
menu.
4. To install layered products, choose option 3 on the menu. For more instructions, see
Section 1.4.3 (page 36).
5. After the installation completes, shut down the system by selecting option 9 on the menu.
When you boot the target system, the layered products you installed will be present.
