TITLE: DECnet/OSI DNVOSI_E01073 DECnet-Plus V7.3 for OpenVMS VAX ECO Summary

New Kit Date : 13-AUG-2001
Modification Date: Not Applicable
Modification Type: New Kit
 
NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
 
       For OpenVMS savesets, the name of the compressed saveset
       file will be kit_name.a-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or
       kit_name.a-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the OpenVMS
       saveset is copied to your system, expand the compressed
       saveset by typing RUN kitname.dcx_vaxexe or kitname.dcx_alpexe.
 
       For PCSI files, once the PCSI file is copied to your system,
       rename the PCSI file to kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi, then it can
       be expanded by typing RUN kitname-dcx_axpexe.pcsi. The resultant
       file will be the PCSI installation file which can be used to install
       the ECO.

INSTALLATION NOTES:

Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility (PCSI) by logging into the SYSTEM account, and
entering the following command at the DCL prompt:

      $ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO01/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file]

Note that you can use the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI
if you wish.

For the corrections to take effect, you must reboot the system.
If you are a member of a VMScluster, you must reboot the entire
cluster. You can postpone rebooting if it is not convenient
for you to do so now; however, the new driver(s) will not take
effect until after a reboot.
