Installation and Upgrade Guide

NOTE: For support of Instant Capacity (iCAP) and Pay per use (PPU) functionality

(supported on cell-based Integrity servers), and for support of such products as gWLM and

HP SIM, you must install TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS. When you use HP SIM to provision

OpenVMS on an Integrity server, TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS is installed automatically.

17. Choose Descriptive Help Text (Optional): After you respond to the prompt for TCP/IP

Services for OpenVMS, the final stages of the installation proceed. First, the procedure asks

whether you want detailed descriptions:

The installation can provide brief or detailed descriptions.

In either case, you can request the detailed descriptions by typing ?.

Do you always want detailed descriptions? (Yes/No) [No]

If you answer YES, the procedure displays additional explanatory text with each prompt.

As of Version 8.3, most PCSI kits included on the OpenVMS distribution media are signed

using Secure Delivery. Each target file includes an associated digital signature file that is

used for Secure Delivery validation. This validation involves authenticating the originator

(HP, in this case) and verifying the contents of the target file. (The digital signature file is

also referred to as a manifest; it has the same file name as the target file plus _ESW appended

to the file extension, as in filename.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW.) When you install OpenVMS

I64 Version 8.3-1H1 from the distribution media, the procedure validates any signed PCSI

kits that are being installed. For each kit successfully validated, you see a message similar

to the following:

Performing product kit validation ...

%PCSI-I-VALPASSED, validation of

DKB400:[KITS.CDSA]HP-I64VMS-CDSA-Vnnnn-nnn-n.PCSI$COMPRESSED;1 succeeded

Any signed PCSI kits that you install susbsequently (including any signed kits on the

distribution media) are validated. In addition, the DCL command PRODUCT SHOW

HISTORY displays the validation status of installed products.

18. Select Product Component Options (Accept All Defaults or Select Individually): The

procedure displays a message such as the following, indicating that it is ready to install the

operating system:

The following product has been selected:

HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.3-1H1 Platform (product suite)

Configuration phase starting ...

You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and

for any products that need to be installed to satisfy software dependency

requirements.

HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.3-1H1: OPENVMS and related products Platform

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.

Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]

When selecting options, note the following:

• If you want all the default values, press Enter.

If you want to select options individually, answer NO. The procedure then prompts

you for each option and suboption shown in Example 3-1 (page 68).
