OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.2 Upgrade and Installation Manual

At this point in the installation, the procedure asks you for information that is used for providing local time zone support. For local time zone support to work correctly, the installation procedure must set the time zone that accurately describes the location you want to be considered as your default time zone. Usually, this is the time zone in which your system is running. In addition, your system must be correctly configured to use a valid OpenVMS time differential factor (TDF).

The procedure displays a series of time zone menus and prompts you to make selections from each. Begin by selecting the desired time zone from the main time zone menu. If you do not select a time zone, the default is Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

If you choose a time zone that has subcomponents, the system displays an additional menu. For example, if you choose the United States (US) time zone from the main menu, a second menu displays the specific time zones within the United States. You then select the menu item that best represents the desired time zone.

The procedure then prompts you for the TDF. The TDF is the difference between your system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is an international standard (similar to Greenwich Mean Time) for measuring time of day. The procedure supplies a default for TDF, which is generally the correct response.

The following is a sample display:

Configuring the Local Time Zone TIME ZONE SPECIFICATION -- Main Time Zone Menu 1) Australia 11) GMT 21) Mexico 31) Turkey 2) Brazil 12) Greenwich 22) NZ 32) UCT 3) CET 13) Hongkong 23) NZ-CHAT 33) US 4) Canada 14) Iceland 24) Navajo 34) UTC 5) Chile 15) Iran 25) PRC 35) Universal 6) Cuba 16) Israel 26) Poland 36) W-SU 7) EET 17) Jamaica 27) ROC 37) WET 8) Egypt 18) Japan 28) ROK 38) Zulu 9) Factory 19) Libya 29) Singapore 10) GB-Eire 20) MET 30) SystemV 0) None of the above Select the number above that best represents the desired time zone: 33 You selected US as your time zone. Is this correct? (Yes/No) [YES]: US Time Zone Menu 1) Alaska 4) Central 7) Hawaii 10) Mountain 2) Aleutian 5) East-Indiana 8) Indiana-Starke 11) Pacific 3) Arizona 6) Eastern 9) Michigan 12) Samoa 0) None of the above Select the number above that best represents the desired time zone: 6 You selected US/Eastern as your time zone. Is this correct? (Yes/No) [YES]: Default Time Differential Factor for standard time is -5:00. Default Time Differential Factor for daylight saving time is -4:00. The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative (-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.). Is Daylight Savings time in effect? (Yes/No): y Enter the Time Differential Factor [-4:00]: NEW SYSTEM TIME DIFFERENTIAL FACTOR = -4:00. Is this correct? [Y]:

For more information about TDF and local time zone support, see the OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

3.4 Registering Licenses

Before you can use the OpenVMS Alpha operating system and its components, you must register all licenses in one of two ways:

• During the installation (which Compaq recommends), by responding to the prompts displayed by the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure. This procedure is executed if you answer Yes (the default) to the following question:

  Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys?

• After the installation, by using the LICENSE REGISTER command or by invoking SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM.

In addition to reviewing the license information provided in this chapter, you can also refer to the following:

• Appendix C, which contains notes and supplemental information about licenses and licensing procedures
• The OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual, which contains complete, detailed information about the licensing procedure

The operating system uses one or more of the following types of licenses, depending on your hardware and software configuration.

After you install the OpenVMS Alpha operating system, the system displays the following message:

If you have Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to register, you can register them now. Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys? (Yes/No) [Yes]

Respond to the prompt as follows:

IF ...	THEN ...
you choose to register your licenses at this time (which Compaq recommends),	do the following: Be sure you review Appendix C and have the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual available. Be sure you have a copy of the Product Authorization Key (PAK) for each license that you will register. Type Y and press the Return key. Register your licenses, as described in the next section.
you choose not to register your licenses at this time,	do the following: Type N and press the Return key. Skip the next section about registering licenses and follow the directions in Section 3.5. After completing the installation, register your licenses using the LICENSE REGISTER command or by invoking SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM before performing any other postinstallation tasks.

3.4.3 Using the Licensing Procedure

Entering Y (Yes) to register your licenses during the installation invokes the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM procedure, which displays the following message:

VMS License Management Utility Options: 1. REGISTER a Product Authorization Key 2. AMEND an existing Product Authorization Key 3. CANCEL an existing Product Authorization Key 4. LIST Product Authorization Keys 5. MODIFY an existing Product Authorization Key 6. DISABLE an existing Product Authorization Key 7. DELETE an existing Product Authorization Key 8. COPY an existing Product Authorization Key 9. MOVE an existing Product Authorization Key 10. ENABLE an existing Product Authorization Key 11. SHOW the licenses loaded on this node 12. SHOW the unit requirements for this node 99. Exit this procedure Type '?' at any prompt for a description of the information requested. Press Ctrl/Z at any prompt to return to this menu. Enter one of the above choices [1]

1. Select the appropriate options (beginning with 1, as indicated in the display) until you have successfully registered all required PAKs.
2. After you register all your licenses, exit from the License Management procedure by entering option 99.

The following sections describe the remaining steps that you need to perform to complete the installation.

3.5.1 Choosing Descriptive Help Text

Next, the system prompts you as follows:

The installation can provide brief or detailed descriptions. In either case, you can request the detailed descriptions by typing "?". Do you always want detailed descriptions? (Yes/No) [No]

If you answer Yes, the system will display additional explanatory text with each prompt.

3.5.2 Selecting Components

The system next displays the following message, indicating that the procedure is ready to install the operating system:

The following product has been selected: DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.2 Platform (product suite) Configuration phase starting ... You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and for any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency requirements. DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.2: OpenVMS and related products Platform COPYRIGHT (c) 12-SEP-1998 -- All rights reserved Compaq Computer Corporation

After the system displays a series of additional messages, the procedure prompts you to choose the default values for all the options and suboptions for each component included in the operating system. The display is similar to the following:

Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]

When selecting components, note the following:

• If you want all the default values, press the Return key.
  If you want to select components individually, answer NO. The system will then prompt you for each option and suboption.
• If you are not sure whether you want certain options, request help by entering a question mark (?) at the prompt for that option.
• After you select all the options you want, you will have an opportunity to view your selections and make changes (if necessary).
• OpenVMS Management Station software is automatically installed on your OpenVMS system disk when you accept all the default values. If you do not accept the default values, you must select the OpenVMS Management Station component (server and client files) if you plan to use that product. After the installation is complete, you can then prepare your OpenVMS Alpha system and your PC to run OpenVMS Management Station by following the procedures described in Appendix D.
• If you decide after the installation to change which OpenVMS Alpha operating system options you want installed on your system, you must reconfigure the installation as described in Section 1.3.3.2.
• After you boot the new system disk and log in, you can obtain information about individual system files by entering HELP SYSTEM_FILES at the dollar sign prompt ($).
