HP Tru64 UNIX Release Notes for Version 5.1B-4 (13157)

2 Choosing and Installing the Software You Need
This chapter provides a brief overviews of the CDs included in this kit and points you to the
information you need to install the software.
Overview of Version 5.1B-4 CDs
This kit contains six primary CDs. The following list describes the contents of these disks and
tells you what you need to know to get your system up and running as quickly as possible:
• Version 5.1B-4 CD
This disk contains the new and improved features and problem fixes. If your system is
already running Version 5.1B or higher, installing the software on this disk will bring your
operating system to Version 5.1B-4.
This disk updates the TruCluster Server software and internationalization subset to Version
5.1B-4 if those products are installed on your system.
• Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B Operating System CD
This disk contains the Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B operating system. You need to install the
software on this disk if one of the following conditions exists:
— Your operating system is not already running Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B or higher.
— You are installing Tru64 UNIX on a new system.
• Associated Products Volumes 1 and 2 CDs
These disks contain software products that run on the Tru64 UNIX operating system. The
customer letter included with this kit lists the products on these CDs, and the section in this
document titled “Associated Products CDs” describes which products have been updated
for this release. Install the products that you want to access on your system or any of the
updated products for which you want to run the latest versions.
The TruCluster Server software included on Volume 2 is Version 5.1B. If your system is
already running the TruCluster software and you want to add the new features and problem
fixes included in Version 5.1B-4, install the software included on the Version 5.1B-4 CD.
• Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1B Documentation Library CD
This disk contains the documents that provide information for general users, system
administrators, and programmers using the Tru64 UNIX system. If the Version 5.1B
documentation set is already installed, do not install the software on this CD.
The Version 5.1B-4 CD installs all reference pages that have been updated since the Version
5.1B release if the reference page subset is installed on your system. The Patch Summary and
Release Notes document included on the Version 5.1B-4 CD lists the reference pages that have
been revised for this release and in previous Version 5.1B updates.
• New Hardware Delivery-7 (NHD-7)
This disk enables support for new hardware as described in the release notes included on
the NHD-7 CD. Because the hardware support included in the NHD-7 kit has not changed
since its initial release, you do not have to install the kit included with Version 5.1B-4 if you
previously installed NHD-7. See the discussion on installing NHD-7 in “Installing the
Software” (page 15) for additional information.
Installing the Software
The procedure you use to install the components of your kit depends on the current state of your
