TITLE: OpenVMS VMS721H1_IIDRIVER-V0100 Alpha V7.2-1H1 IIDRIVER ECO Summary

New Kit Date: 20-JUN-2002
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.pcsi-dcx_axpexe or
       kitname.pcsi-dcx_vaxexe, then it can be expanded by typing
       RUN kitname.pcsi-dcx_axpexe or kitname.pcsi-dcx_vaxexe. The
       resultant file will be the PCSI installation file which can be
       used to install the ECO.

  o The system can crash with an INVEXCEPTN bugcheck at
     SYS$IIDRIVER+021A0.

         Images Affected: [SYS$LDR]SYS$IIDRIVER.EXE

INSTALLATION NOTES:

This kit requires a system reboot. Compaq 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.

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_IIDRIVER /SOURCE=[location of Kit]

The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that
contains the kit.

Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing
HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt

SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

  o 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=V1.0

         - De-assign the logicals assigned

     For example, a sample command file to install the
     VMS721H1_IIDRIVER-V0100 kit would be:

          $
          $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
          $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT TRUE
          $!
          $ PROD INSTALL VMS721H1_IIDRIVER/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
          $!
          $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
          $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$REBOOT
          $!
          $ exit
