This chapter describes how to install the PATHWORKS for OpenVMS (Advanced Server) software. You must follow these procedures regardless of whether you are upgrading from a previous version of the server or installing the server for the first time.
Before you begin the installation procedure, make sure that you have completed the pre-installation tasks listed in Chapter 1, Before You Install PATHWORKS Advanced Server.
This chapter consists of the following sections:
The following sections describe the installation procedure and what it
does.
2.1.1 What is VMSINSTAL?
VMSINSTAL is the standard command procedure for installing software on
the OpenVMS operating system. VMSINSTAL consists of a series of
questions (prompts). Your answers to these questions provide VMSINSTAL
with the information needed for installing PATHWORKS Advanced Server.
2.1.2 PATHWORKS Advanced Server Installation Kit
The VMSINSTAL installation kit includes several OpenVMS BACKUP save
sets. The save set PWRKV60B060.A always contains the file KITINSTAL.COM
and the release notes. The savesets included in the software kit are
listed in the product release notes.
2.1.3 What VMSINSTAL Does
The following sections describe how to prepare information required
during the installation procedure, and how to specify the required
information during the procedure.
2.2.1 Before You Start VMSINSTAL
Before you start the VMSINSTAL command procedure, answer the following questions:
If... | The default is... |
---|---|
You are installing PATHWORKS Advanced Server for the first time | The first available unused UIC group number, starting with 360. |
If PATHWORKS V5 for OpenVMS (LAN Manager) is currently installed, an account named PCFS$ACCOUNT already exists | The same group number as that associated with the existing account PCFS$ACCOUNT. |
If the file server accounts already exist | The same group number as the existing accounts. |
To start VMSINSTAL:
$ SHOW DEVICE device_name |
$ SHOW DEVICE $1$DUS0: |
Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt $1$DUS0: (HSC001) Mounted 0 HUBSYS 347718 628 4 |

If you... | Then enter... |
---|---|
Want access to the release notes during the installation procedure | @VMSINSTAL PWRKV60B060 device_name OPTIONS N |
Do not want access to the release notes during the installation procedure | @VMSINSTAL PWRKV60B060 device_name |
An asterisk (*) at the beginning of a line in the installation procedure identifies a prompt to which you must respond.
Usually the prompt has a default answer, which the procedure displays in square brackets ([]) at the end of the question.
To accept a default, press [Return]. For example:
* Are you satisfied with the backup of your system disk [YES]? [Return] |
To interrupt the installation procedure, press [Ctrl/Y] at
any time. Then you can restart the installation from the beginning.

The following sections describe some problems you can encounter if you
install the PATHWORKS Advanced Server in an environment that is not appropriate.
2.3.1 Installing the PATHWORKS Advanced Server on a System with the NetWare Server
The PATHWORKS Advanced Server cannot be installed on a system where the NetWare server is installed. If you attempt to install the PATHWORKS Advanced Server on a system where the NetWare server is installed, the installation procedure optionally invokes the NetWare server software removal procedure (SYS$STARTUP:PWVN$DEINSTAL.COM).
When the installation procedure detects the presence of the NetWare server, it displays the following message and question:
%PWRKV60B-E-OLDVERPWNV, PATHWORKS V6.0-nnnx for OpenVMS (NetWare) was previously installed. This product is no longer supported. To install the PATHWORKS V6.0B for OpenVMS product, the NetWare product must be deinstalled. * Will you allow this installation procedure to deinstall * the NetWare product [NO]? |
To remove the NetWare server software, enter YES.
To terminate the installation procedure without removing the NetWare server software, enter NO, or press [Return].
You can remove the NetWare server manually using the procedure in Section 7.2, Removing the PATHWORKS NetWare Server. Then start the VMSINSTAL procedure again after the NetWare server has been removed.
