The procedure displays information about optional OpenVMS VAX files and the remaining amount of disk space. The information is similar to the following (block sizes might vary slightly):
Select optional software you want to install. You can install one
or more of the following OpenVMS or DECwindows components:
o OpenVMS library - 53400 blocks
o OpenVMS optional - 21200 blocks
o OpenVMS Help Message - 10200 blocks
o OpenVMS Management Station - 21200 blocks
o DECwindows base support - 3800 blocks
o DECwindows workstation support - 23500 blocks
- 75 dots per inch video fonts - (included)
- 100 dots per inch video fonts - 6000 blocks
o DECnet-Plus networking - 85000 blocks
Space remaining on system disk: 682440 blocks
You must indicate which of the options you want to install. If you
require network support, you must select the OpenVMS library component.
Note that, if you do not install the optional OpenVMS components at this time, you can install them after the upgrade by using the VMSTAILOR and DECW$TAILOR utilities. However, the Help Message utility and the three reference manuals can be tailored on to the system disk only. If you do not choose the Help Message files or the three manuals at this point in the procedure and want them on an alternate device, you will not be able to use VMSTAILOR to restore them later. If you want to install Help Message on an alternate disk after the installation procedure completes, you can use the BACKUP command, as follows:
BACKUP/VERIFY source-device:[000000]VMS071.E/SAVE_SET-
target-device:[directory-name] For source-device, enter the
device name for the drive on which the distribution media is mounted.
For target-device, enter the device name on which the
alternate disk is mounted, and for directory, enter the name
of the directory to which you are copying the files.
Also note that, for TK50 tape cartridges, it is quicker to install OpenVMS VAX software during the upgrade than to add software after the upgrade with a tailoring utility. For information about using VMSTAILOR, see Chapter 10. To select the options you want to install, follow the instructions displayed by the procedure.
The procedure displays the following message:
* Do you want to install the OpenVMS library files? (Y/N)
The file subclasses of the OpenVMS library (VMS071.C) save set are listed in Appendix D. If you want to install the VMS071.C files, type Yes and press Return. If you require network support, you must select the OpenVMS library component. If you do not want to install the VMS071.C files, type No and press Return.
The procedure displays the following message:
* Do you want to install the OpenVMS optional files? (Y/N)
The file subclasses of the OpenVMS optional (VMS071.D) save set are listed in Appendix D. If you want to install the VMS071.D files, type Yes and press Return. If you do not want to install the VMS071.D files, type No and press Return.
The Help Message utility (MSGHLP) provides online explanations
and user actions for OpenVMS messages in place of the hardcopy
OpenVMS System Messages and Recovery Procedures Reference Manual,
which is now separately orderable.
The MSGHLP database, MSGHLP$LIBRARY.MSGHLP$DATA, consumes
approximately 10200 blocks and will be placed by default
on your system disk in SYS$COMMON:[SYSHLP] unless you specify an
alternate device when prompted.
Users with limited disk space can access the MSGHLP database
on a read-only basis at DAD1:[HELP_MESSAGE].

Space remaining on alternate device DUA1:: 124532 blocks
The procedure displays the following message:
The OpenVMS Management Station is a client-server application that provides OpenVMS system management capabilities through a client application on a personal computer (PC) running Microsoft Windows. The server application runs on OpenVMS systems and is automatically installed as part of the OpenVMS operating system. This option provides the files used to create the installation media for the PC client software. If you want to use the OpenVMS Management Station, you must install these files on at least one OpenVMS system to create the installation media, which can then be used to install the PC client on one or more PCs. Note: To use the OpenVMS Management Station on your PC, you must be running Digital's PATHWORKS V5.0A for DOS and Windows (or V5.1) software. The OpenVMS Management Station optional files consume approximately 21200 blocks and will be placed on your system disk in SYS$COMMON:[TNT.CLIENT]. * Do you want to install the optional OpenVMS Management Station files? (Y/N) Space remaining on system disk: 623240 blocks
If you want to use the OpenVMS Management Station software, you must install these files. After the upgrade procedure completes, follow the instructions in Appendix G to prepare your OpenVMS system and your PC to run the OpenVMS Management Station server and client software.
Next, the procedure displays messages about the DECwindows components shipped with OpenVMS VAX Version 7.1.
The OpenVMS VAX operating system no longer ships the OpenVMS DECwindows product. The operating system now ships only the DECwindows base support and DECwindows workstation support components. To get full DECwindows support, you must also install the separate DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX (previously called VMS DECwindows Motif) layered product, which supports both Motif and XUI environments.
Note that the DECwindows base support and DECwindows workstation support components are not shipped with the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS layered product. If you want to install these options, you must select them now or use the DECW$TAILOR option after the installation procedure completes.
Before you indicate whether you want to install DECwindows support software, consider the following:
| If you... | Then choose... |
|---|---|
| Intend to install the DECwindows Motif layered product | DECwindows base support. |
| Intend to install the DECwindows Motif layered product on a workstation or on a VAXcluster system that contains workstations |
DECwindows base support and
DECwindows workstation support. |
| Are not planning to install the DECwindows Motif layered product but are installing OpenVMS VAX on a workstation or on a VAXcluster that includes workstations |
DECwindows base support and
DECwindows workstation support. |
| Want to provide font files for X terminals |
DECwindows base support and
DECwindows workstation support. |
| Have a workstation monitor (for example, a VR150, VR160, or VR295) capable of displaying 100 dots/inch or a VAXstation 4000 series computer, which uses 100 dots/inch video fonts by default |
DECwindows base support and
DECwindows workstation support with the 100 dots/inch option. By selecting the workstation support files, you automatically get 75 dots/inch video font files, and you will be prompted to indicate if you want to install 100 dots/inch video font files. |
The procedure displays the following:
You can select DECwindows support now, or you can use the DECW$TAILOR utility
to provide or remove DECwindows support after upgrade.
Some media, TK50s in particular, can be very slow when tailoring on files.
You might want to provide DECwindows options now and tailor off unwanted files later.
NOTE: This kit does NOT contain full DECwindows.
To obtain full DECwindows support, you must also install the
separate layered product, DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX.
Version 1.2-3 is the minimum version of DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX
that can be used with OpenVMS VAX Version 7.1.
The DECwindows components provided in this kit require approximately
29350 blocks, broken down as follows:
o DECwindows base support - 3800 blocks
o DECwindows workstation support - 23500 blocks
- 75 dots per inch video fonts (included)
- 100 dots per inch video fonts (optional) - 6000 blocks
You must select the DECwindows base support option if
- you plan to run DECwindows software, or
- you are installing this kit on
* a workstation or
* a VAXcluster that contains workstations, or
- you want to provide font files for Xterminals.
If you are installing this kit on a system that includes Xterminals
and you do not select DECwindows base support, then you will have to use
the DECW$TAILOR utility to provide font files.
* Do you want the DECwindows base support? (Y/N)
Space remaining: 619640
You must select the DECwindows workstation support option if
- you are installing this kit on
* a workstation or
* a VAXcluster that contains workstations, or
- you want to provide font files for Xterminals.
If you are installing this kit on a system that includes Xterminals
and you do not select DECwindows base support, then you will have to use
the DECW$TAILOR utility to provide font files.
* Do you want to provide DECwindows workstation support? (Y/N)
Space remaining: 598890
DECwindows workstation support includes the 75 dots per inch video fonts.
All DECwindows applications run with 75 dots per inch video fonts.
By default, most systems start up with 75 dots per inch video fonts.
Certain applications can take advantage of 100 dots per inch video fonts.
For the VAXstation 4000 series machine, 100 dots per inch video fonts
are used by default. If you decide not to install 100 dots per inch
video fonts, you must edit SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
to force 75 dots per inch video fonts to be the default. Otherwise,
certain applications may not space text properly.
For instructions on how to configure your system with both 75 and 100
dots per inch video fonts, see the template command procedure
SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE.

Space remaining on system disk: 508890 blocks
The procedure displays a list of OpenVMS VAX and DECwindows support options that you have chosen and gives you the opportunity to change your mind before proceeding by displaying the following message:
* Is this correct? (Y/N)
If you answer Yes to this prompt, the procedure restores the OpenVMS required save set (VMS071.B) and purges the page, swap, dump, and authorization files.
If you answer No to this prompt, you can respecify the OpenVMS VAX and DECwindows options that you want to install. The procedure restores the DECwindows components you have chosen during Phase 2.
After several minutes, the upgrade procedure indicates that the system will shut down to reboot the partially upgraded OpenVMS VAX system and displays information about how to reboot the system.
On certain VAX computers, the procedure displays the following message:
* Press RETURN to shutdown system:
Once you have read the information displayed on the screen, press Return to begin the shutdown.
If your system uses console media, it should automatically reboot from the SYSF directory when the shutdown is complete. If you have a MicroVAX or if your system does not reboot from SYSF, halt the system and boot from the [SYSF] directory. For most MicroVAX and VAXstation computers, use the BOOT command in the following format and substitute the device name of the system disk for ddcu:
>>> B/F0000000 ddcu
If the system fails to boot, you can boot into SYSBOOT by entering the following:
>>> B/F0000001 ddcu
For more information on booting your computer from the SYSF directory, see the upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX computer.
When the system reboots, it displays a message similar to the following:
