Installation and Upgrade Guide

7.15 Creating Print Queues (New Installations, Some Upgrades)
If you have a large number of print queues to add and you need to get the system in use quickly,
you can set up one print queue per area or work group and then add the other print queues later,
after the user accounts are added (Section 7.17 (page 143)). For more information about adding
print queues, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.
7.16 Updating SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to Start Layered Products and
Print Queues
After installing and configuring any layered products and adding new print queues, you should
update the SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file to start these products and print queues. For more about
updating the SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume
1: Essentials.
7.17 Creating Accounts (New Installations, Some Upgrades)
During installation, DEFAULT and SYSTEM accounts are created automatically. You should
create additional user accounts now. If you plan to have HP service representatives test your
system or if you plan to run testing software such as UETP, you must create accounts for each
representative and a SYSTEST (standalone system) or SYSTEST_CLIG (OpenVMS Cluster system)
account to run UETP.
For complete information about creating and managing user accounts and about creating accounts
for HP service representatives and UETP, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume
1: Essentials.
7.18 Testing the System with UETP (Optional)
The User Environment Test Package (UETP) is a software package that tests whether the OpenVMS
operating system is installed correctly. It tests the hardware, including disk drives, tape drives,
CD drives, line printers (if any), network cards, and so forth. Running UETP is optional; HP
recommends that you run UETP after an installation or if new hardware was added as part of
an upgrade.
Before using UETP, you must create a SYSTEST (standalone system) or SYSTEST_CLIG (OpenVMS
Cluster system) account. You should also create an account for HP service representatives to
use. You can use the CREATE_SPECIAL_ACCOUNTS.COM file to create these accounts, as
explained in HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.
For complete information about using UETP, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual,
Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.
7.19 Backing Up the Customized System Disk and Initiating Systematic
Backups
After you customize the OpenVMS operating system to your satisfaction and perform the other
steps recommended thus far in this chapter that are relevant to your system, protect your work
by making a standalone backup copy of the system disk to tape. To do so, follow the instructions
in Section 7.2 (page 115). If you are going to be saving to disk, specify a disk that will not be (or
is not) part of a shadow set.
For complete information about backup operations, including a description of an alternative
method that does not require booting from the operating system media, see Appendix E (page 247).
HP also recommends creating a systematic routine for backing up the application, data, and user
disks. For more information, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials.
