Also, after exiting from INSTALL the process still holds a PW mode lock on the INSTALL$INSLOCK resource. The existence of this 'dangling' PW mode lock causes any subsequent INSTALL command to execute slowly. 4 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Install this kit with the VMSINSTAL utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL ALPINST01_062 [location of the saveset] The saveset location may be a tape drive, or a disk directory that contains the kit saveset. System should be rebooted after successful installation of the kit. If you have other nodes in your VMScluster, they should also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s). -- COVER LETTER -- Page 2 21 July 1995 Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation, 1995 All Rights Reserved.
