SPECIAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
o Post - Kit Installation tasks
Running REMACP process must be manually stopped and new
process started using RTTLOAD.COM. All remote terminal
sessions must be terminated during this process.
The REMACP process can be properly terminated using
the command:
$ MCR STOPREM
However, REMACP will not terminate until all users with
SET HOST connections have logged out. This can be
determined using the command:
$ SHOW DEVICE RTA
If there are any RTA devices other than RTA0, there are users
still logged in via DECnet. Once they log out, the REMACP
process will terminate.
To start up REMACP again, use the procedure:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:RTTLOAD
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
- 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_REM-V0100 kit would be:
$
$ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE
$!
$ PROD INSTALL VMS721H1_REM/PROD=DEC/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0
$!
$ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP
$!
$ exit
