DECnet Host Software Installation
Installing the DECnet Host
Software
The QMS host software for DECnet-connected printers checks for the
presence of DECnet Phase IV or Phase V protocol and prompts your
responses accordingly.
Phase IV and Phase V Installation
The following procedure describes the installation of DECnet Phase
IV and Phase V host software. Any differences between the two
installation procedures are noted.
1 After mounting the host software media on the input device
and logging in under the system account, begin the installa-
tion program by typing this command at the host:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL↵
2 After the installation program banner, the following prompt
displays:
* Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk?
If you’re satisfied with your backup copy of the system disk, type Y
or press Enter. Type N to exit the program if you have not made a
backup copy.
If you answered Y to the prompt, the system notifies you that it is
moving the Release Notes located on the SYS$UPDATE direc-
tory to the system help directory.
3 The installation program prompts you for the name of the
device where you have mounted the software tape:
* Where will the distribution volumes be mounted?
Type the device name and press Enter.
