NOTE: For support of Instant Capacity (iCAP) (supported on cell-based Integrity servers),
and for support of such products as gWLM and HP SIM, you must install TCP/IP Services
for OpenVMS. When you use HP SIM to provision OpenVMS on Integrity servers, TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS is installed automatically.
18. Choose Descriptive Help Text (Optional): After you respond to the prompt for TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS, the final stages of the installation proceed. First, the procedure asks
whether you want detailed descriptions:
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 procedure displays additional explanatory text with each prompt.
As of Version 8.3, most PCSI kits included on the OpenVMS distribution media are signed
using Secure Delivery. Each target file includes an associated digital signature file that is
used for Secure Delivery validation. This validation involves authenticating the originator
(HP, in this case) and verifying the contents of the target file. (The digital signature file is
also referred to as a manifest; it has the same file name as the target file plus _ESW appended
to the file extension, as in filename.PCSI$COMPRESSED_ESW.) When you install OpenVMS
Integrity servers from the distribution media, the procedure validates any signed PCSI kits
that are being installed. For each kit successfully validated, you see a message similar to the
following:
Prior to Version 8.4:
Performing product kit validation ...
%PCSI-I-HPCVALPASSED, validation of
DKB400:[KITS.CDSA]HP-I64VMS-CDSA-Vnnnn-nnn-n.PCSI$COMPRESSED;1 succeeded
.
.
.
Version 8.4 onwards:
Performing product kit validation ...
%PCSI-I-HPCVALPASSED, validation of
DKB400:[KITS.HPBINARYCHECKER]HP-I64VMS-HPBINARYCHECKER-Vnnnn-nnn-n.PCSI$COMPRESSED;1 succeeded
.
.
.
NOTE: Because of limitations in the OpenVMS Alpha CD boot environment, OpenVMS
Alpha kits are not validated when installed from the distribution CD. On both OpenVMS
Alpha and Integrity server systems, signed PCSI kits that you install susbsequently (including
any signed kits on the distribution media) are validated. In addition, on both OpenVMS
Alpha and OpenVMS Integrity server systems, the DCL command PRODUCT SHOW
HISTORY displays the validation status of installed products.
19. Select Product Component Options (Accept All Defaults or Select Individually): The
procedure displays a message such as the following, indicating that it is ready to install the
operating system:
The following product has been selected:
HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.4 Platform (product suite)
Configuration phase starting ...
You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and
for any products that need to be installed to satisfy software dependency
requirements.
