This section describes how to install layered products on an OpenVMS Alpha system.

3.4.1 Location of Product Save Sets and Installation Instructions

The OpenVMS Alpha Software Product Library Master Index gives the directory locations of the products on the software binaries CD-ROMs. This information is also available in the CDMASTER_INDEX.PS and CDMASTER_INDEX.TXT files in the [README] directory on the first CD-ROM.

Installation information for each product, in PostScript and ASCII text formats, is located in [product.DOCUMENTATION] directories, where product is the product directory name as given in the OpenVMS Alpha Software Product Library Master Index.

@SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL product drive:[directory.KIT]

$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSINSTAL DECFMS024 DKA400:[DECFMS024.KIT]

$ PRODUCT INSTALL DQS/VERSION=1.3 /SOURCE=DKA400:[DQS013.KIT]

$ SHOW PROCESS/PRIVILEGES

To see whether a previous version of a product is installed, use the PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT command. For example:

$ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT FORTRAN

To purchase the Consolidated Software Engineering Change Order distribution for OpenVMS Alpha, contact your local service office.

ECOs and MUPs are provided on a separate set of CD-ROMs. Table 3-2 describes the arrangement of files on these CD-ROMs.

To access an ECO or MUP, do the following:

This chapter describes how to use the Tru64 UNIX Software Product Library CD-ROMs.

4.1 Mounting and Controlling Access to a CD-ROM

1. Load the CD-ROM into the drive.
2. Log in as root or become superuser:

% su

Password:

3. If you do not know the device name for the CD-ROM drive, use the file command to find it.

# file /dev/rrz*c

The file command returns output similar to that shown in the following example. Note that the entry for the disc drive includes the words RRD42 disk .

/dev/rrz1c: character special (8/1740) SCSI #1 RRD42 disk #12 (SCSI ID #1)

/dev/rrz2c: character special (8/2050) SCSI #0 RRD42 disk #16 (SCSI ID #2)

/dev/rrz3c: character special (8/3074) SCSI #0 RZ25 disk #24 (SCSI ID #3)

/dev/rrz4c: character special (8/4098) SCSI #0 RRD42 disk #32 (SCSI ID #4)

/dev/rrz8c: character special (8/16386) SCSI #1 RZ56 disk #64 (SCSI ID #0)

4. Create a directory that will be the mount point for the CD-ROM, using a command in the following format:

mkdir /mount-point

For example:

# mkdir /mnt

If you are going to mount multiple CD-ROMs, create multiple mount points using the mkdir command.

5. Mount the CD-ROM using the -r option to indicate that the CD-ROM is read-only.
• For a single CD-ROM, use a command in the following format:

# mount -r /dev/rzunit_numberc /mount-point

where:

unit-number is the unit number of your disc drive.

mount-point is the mount point you have just created.

For example:

# mount -r /dev/rz2c /mnt

• For multiple CD-ROMs, use commands in the following format:

# mount -r /dev/rz1c /mnt1

# mount -r /dev/rz2c /mnt2

In these examples, /mnt is the mount point for a single CD-ROM, whereas /mnt1 and /mnt2 are mount points for multiple CD-ROMs.

6. To dismount a CD-ROM, use a command in one of the following formats:

# umount /mnt

or

# /sbin/umount /dev/rz4c

7. To ensure that a CD-ROM is remounted in the event that your system crashes or is rebooted, follow these steps:
1. Using the text editor of your choice, open the file /sbin/bcheckrc and search for the following section:

#

# mount local (non-nfs) filesystems

#

echo 'Mounting local filesystems'

/sbin/mount -a -v -t nonfs

2. To ensure that your CD-ROM will be mounted at system startup, add the following lines after the mount local section, replacing unit-number with the actual device number of your disc drive, and mount-point with the directory on which you mounted the CD-ROM:

#

# mount CD

#

echo 'Mounting CDROM'

/sbin/mount -r /dev/rzunit-numberc /mount-point

The system will mount the CD-ROM on the mount point you specify on every reboot.

1. Log in as superuser.
2. Mount the CD-ROM as described in Section 4.1.
3. Using the c shell (csh), define the environment variable CD_DIRECTORY in your .login or .cshrc file by entering a command in one of the following formats:
• For a single binary CD-ROM:

setenv CD_DIRECTORY /mount-point:/mount-point/cdrom

where:

mount-point is the directory where the CD-ROM is mounted.

For example:

# setenv CD_DIRECTORY /mnt:/mnt/cdrom

• For multiple CD-ROMs:

setenv CD_DIRECTORY /mount-point1:/mount-point2:/mount-point1/cdrom

For example:

# setenv CD_DIRECTORY /mnt1:/mnt2:/mnt1/cdrom

4. Set the environment variable CD_EDIT to indicate the editor to use while displaying documentation on your screen.

For example:

# setenv CD_EDIT vi

5. Enter one of the following commands at the system prompt to invoke the cdmenu utility. (The examples assume a /mnt mount point.)
• For a single CD-ROM:

# /mnt/cdrom/cdmenu

• For multiple CD-ROMs:

# /mnt1/cdrom/cdmenu

The CDMENU main menu is displayed.

6. Follow the directions on the screen to choose the option for the task you want to perform.

Note

---

The cdmenu utility assumes the CD-ROMs identified in the CD_DIRECTORY environment variable are from the same release because it utilizes the first instance of cd_contents.dat located in the /cdrom directory.

---

4.3 Accessing a Software CD-ROM

You can print the documentation for the Tru64 UNIX Software Product Library either by using the CDMENU utility (see Section 4.2) or by entering an operating system command. You do not need a product license to print these documents.

See the Tru64 UNIX Software Product Library Master Index for pointers to product directory specifications.

% lpr -Pqueue-name /mnt/product/documentation/file-name.txt

% lpr -Pqueue-name /mnt/readme/file-name.txt

To print a document in Table 4-1 for PostScript output, send the file to a PostScript printer by entering a command in one of the following formats:

% lpr -Pqueue-name /mnt/product/documentation/file-name.ps

% lpr -Pqueue-name /mnt/readme/file-name.ps

This section describes how to install layered products on a system running the Tru64 UNIX operating system.

4.4.1 Location of Product Subsets and Installation Instructions

The Tru64 UNIX Software Product Library Master Index gives the directory locations of the products on the software binaries CD-ROMs. This information is also available in the cdmaster_index.ps and cdmaster_index.txt files in the /readme directory on the first CD-ROM.
