Installation Instructions 

Use the appropriate sections below depending on whether you are
installing from an MPE SUBSYS tape or updating from a software patch.

Installing from an MPE SUBSYS tape 

If you are installing or updating the HP Performance Collection Software
on your HP 3000 from an MPE SUBSYS tape, perform the instructions in this
topic.

MPE/iX systems.   

   1.  Read chapter 1, "Read Me First", in the HP 3000 MPE/iX 
       Installation, Update, and Add-On Manual, part number 36123-90001.

   2.  If you are updating your MPE/iX operating system and HP
       Performance Collection Software at the same time, follow the
       instructions in chapter 2 titled "Updating MPE/iX".

   3.  If you are installing or updating only HP Performance Collection
       Software and not the MPE/iX operating system, follow the
       instructions in chapter 3, "Adding On Purchased Products - SUBSYS
       Only".

   4.  After completing the AUTOINST installation, continue in this
       manual at the "Completing the HP 3000 Installation" section.

MPE V systems.   

   1.  If you are updating the MPE V operating system and HP Performance
       Collection Software at the same time, follow the instructions in
       the HP 3000 Software Update Manual, part number 32033-90036.

   2.  If you are only updating HP Performance Collection Software and
       not the MPE V operating system, follow the instructions in the HP 
       3000 Software Add-On Manual, part number 32033-90048.

   3.  After completing the AUTOINST installation, continue in this
       manual at the "Completing the HP 3000 Installation" section.

Updating from a Software Patch 

If you are updating an older version of HP Performance Collection
Software on an MPE/iX system, you can apply a software patch instead of
loading the software from a SUBSYS tape.  Ask your HP support
representative for patch LRXHX04, version A or later.

To update an existing version of the collection software on an MPE/iX
system, do the following:

   1.  Restore the four patch files to the PATCHXL.TELESUP group on your
       system.

   2.  Stream I00HX04A.PATCHXL.TELESUP.

   3.  When prompted, enter the name of a group in the SYS account where
       a copy of the current SCOPE collector files can be saved.  If the
       installation fails, copy the files in this group back into the
       SCOPE group.

   4.  When the installation is complete, the installation program
       streams JCONFJOB.NET.SYS. If the stream fails because of an
       invalid password, manually stream JCONFJOB.NET.SYS at a convenient
       time.

   5.  Before you can use the new data communication servers, you must
       stop and restart the network with the NSCONTROL and NETCONTROL
       commands.

If the installation completes successfully, the SCOPE collector files
saved earlier are purged.

After completing the steps above, continue with the "Completing the HP
3000 Installation" section later in this chapter.
