Table 7-1 Postinstallation and Postupgrade Checklist
SectionTask
Section 7.2 (page 127)For a newly installed system disk, you can back up the disk. (At this
point, you could reinstall OpenVMS onto the disk instead.)
For a newly upgraded system disk, if it is not going to be a shadow set
member, back up the system disk as a safeguard before proceeding
with the next steps. If your newly upgraded system disk is going to
be a shadow set member, you can re-form it in a later step. As an
optional precaution, you can back up the system disk as well.
□
Section 7.3 (page 128)Register any licenses that were not registered during the installation;
for an upgrade, register any new licenses.

Section 7.4 (page 129)New installations only (optional): Set system parameters to enable volume

hardcoded BAP system parameters, run AUTOGEN and reboot.
□
Section 7.7 (page 131)If you want to form a shadow set for a system disk, you can do this
now or later. If you upgrade a disk in a volume shadowing
