(Reference attached Disclaimer of Warranty and Limitation of Liability Statement) INSTALLATION RATING: INSTALL_3 : To be installed by customers experiencing the problems corrected. 9 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation Utility by logging into the SYSTEM account, and typing the following at the DCL prompt: $ PRODUCT INSTALL VMS721H1_ACRTL /SOURCE= The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that contains the kit. If /SOURCE is not specified, the utility searches in the location defined by the logical name PCSI$SOURCE. If PCSI$SOURCE is not defined, and the /SOURCE qualifier is not specified, the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility searches the current default directory. Because the images in this kit will not take effect until the system is rebooted, you must reboot the system after installing this kit. If you have other nodes in your OpenVMS cluster, they must also be rebooted in order to make use of the new image(s). If it is not possible or convenient to reboot the entire cluster at this time, a rolling re-boot may be performed.

It simply means that DECC$SHR.EXE was installed as a resident image, which is the standard configuration for OpenVMS Alpha systems. The new image will not take effect until the system is rebooted. 9.1.2 Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions During installation, this kit will ask and require user response to several questions. If you wish to automate the installation of this kit and avoid having to provide responses to these questions, you must create a DCL command procedure that includes the following definitions and commands: - $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE - $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE - Add the following qualifiers to the PRODUCT INSTALL command and add that command to the DCL procedure. /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V3.0 - De-assign the logicals assigned For example, a sample command file to install the VMS721H1_ACRTL-V0300 kit would be: $ $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE $! $ PROD INSTALL VMS721H1_ACRTL/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V3.0 $! $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT $! $ exit
