HP strongly recommends that a reboot is performed immediately after kit installation to avoid system instability. 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. 2.3 Version(s) of OpenVMS to which this kit may be applied: OpenVMS ALPHA V7.3-2 2.4 New functionality or new hardware support provided: No 3 KITS SUPERSEDED BY THIS KIT: - VMS732_LOADSS-V0100 4 KIT DEPENDENCIES: 4.1 The following remedial kit(s), or later, must be installed BEFORE installation of this, or any required kit: - VMS732_PCSI-V0300 or later - VMS732_UPDATE-V0600 or later Page 2 4.2 In order to receive all the corrections listed in this kit, the following remedial kits, or later, should also be installed: - None 5 NEW FUNCTIONALITY AND/OR PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN THE VMS732_LOADSS-V0200 KIT 5.1 New functionality addressed in this kit Not Applicable 5.2 Problems addressed in this kit 5.2.1 $CREATE_USER_PROFILE Service 5.2.1.1 Problem Description: When using the $CREATE_USER_PROFILE service, the TLV output is not complete: o The UIC does not have the KGB$V_RESOURCE bit set o There is no AUTHRIGHTS information Images Affected: - [SYSLIB]SECURESHRP.EXE 5.2.1.2 CLDs, and QARs reporting this problem: 5.2.1.2.1 CLD(s) None. 5.2.1.2.2 QAR(s) 75-109-762,75-109-1094 5.2.1.3 Problem Analysis: See problem description.

Typically, these images do not have the same image generation flags contained in images released via the OpenVMS remedial patch process. Because of this, any debug or point-fix image that is in the SYS$COMMON area, will be replaced by any image of the same name installed by this kit. If this occurs, you will lose any functionality that is provided by the replaced image. If you wish to retain these debug or point-fix images, you can take the following steps: o Prior to installing this kit, move the test/debug image(s) to be saved to the SYS$SPECIFIC area. o During kit installation, you will be asked if you wish to delete the image(s) in SYS$SPECIFIC. You should answer NO for each image that you want to keep. o After installation completes, but before rebooting the system (if required), move the image(s) from SYS$SPECIFIC back to SYS$COMMON. 8.2 Compressed File This kit is provided as a DCX compressed kit. To expand this file to the installable .PCSI file, run the file with a RUN file_name command. When the file is run you will see the following output: $ RUN VMS732_LOADSS-V0200.PCSI-DCX_AXPEXE FTSV DCX auto-extractible compressed file for OpenVMS (AXP) FTSV V3.0 -- FTSV$DCX_AXP_AUTO_EXTRACT Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corp. 1993 Options: [output_file_specification] [input_file_specification] The decompressor needs to know the filename to use for the decompressed file. If you don't specify any, it will use the original name of the file before it was compressed, and create it in the current directory. If you specify a directory name, the file will be created in that directory. Decompress into (file specification): If you want the file to be expanded into a different directory, enter the directory specification. DO NOT enter a new file name. The expanded file must retain the original name. If you want to expand the file via batch, the command file must contain an answer to the"Decompress into (file specification)" question, either a or an alternate directory specification Page 6 8.3 Installation Command 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 VMS732_LOADSS[/SOURCE=location of Kit] Note that this kit will install with the /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA option turned on. Using this qualifier will allow easy removal of the kit from the system in the event of problems. If you wish to disable this option you must use the /NOSAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier on the PRODUCT INSTALL command. The /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier is optional but highly recommended. Using this qualifier will allow easy removal of the kit from the system in the event of problems. The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that contains the kit. The /SOURCE qualifier is not needed if the PRODUCT INSTALL command is executed from the same directory as the kit location. Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt. 8.4 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 logical name definitions and commands: o To avoid the BACKUP question, define the following: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE o To avoid the REBOOT question, define the following: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE o To save replaced files as *.*_OLD define the following logical name as YES. If you do not wish to save replaced files, define the logical name as NO. Note that if you use the /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier (recommended) on the PRODUCT INSTALL command all replaced files will be saved as part of that operation. There is no need to also save files as *.*_OLD: $ DEFINE/JOB ARCHIVE_OLD NO o Add the following qualifiers to the PRODUCT INSTALL command and add that command to the DCL procedure. /PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V2.0 [/SOURCE=location of Kit] Page 7 o De-assign the logical names assigned For example, a sample command file to install the VMS732_LOADSS-V0200 kit would be: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE $ DEFINE/JOB ARCHIVE_OLD NO $! $ PROD INSTALL VMS732_LOADSS/PRODUCER=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V2.0" $! $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT $! $ exit $! 9 COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMER: (C) Copyright 2006 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
