Throughout the activities described in Chapter 5 "Modifying Your System" several types of messages may display. Below is a description of some of the more common error and warning messages and a general description of the appropriate response to those messages.

Disk Space Messages


At different stages, AUTOINST searches for required amounts of non-contiguous and contiguous disk space. In the section "3.6 Estimating Disk Space" in Chapter 3 "Planning for Your Task" you verified if you had sufficient disk space.
  • If however, AUTOINST cannot find sufficient non-contiguous disk space, it displays an error message and terminates.

  • If AUTOINST cannot find sufficient contiguous disk space, it will display an error message and prompt you whether to continue. You can continue while you are creating the CSLT, but you must find the required contiguous disk space prior to applying the CSLT. Refer to Appendix C "Managing Disk Space" for additional information on clearing disk space.

AUTOINST Disk Space Messages

The following messages are generated by AUTOINST. While the operating system is running, AUTOINST attempted to put files into a holding area in the install group prior to calling SYSGEN to create a SLT.

 Warning -- The Installer cannot find enough contiguous disk space
 on LDEV #1 for UPDATE to update with the CSLT created by the
 Installer. (INSTWARN #5)
 
 You must create 60000 sectors of contiguous disk space on LDEV #1
 BEFORE updating with the CSLT created by the Installer.
 
 If you wish to continue with this installation and create the
 disk space after the Installer is done (but before updating with
 the CSLT) respond with "YES" to the following prompt. If you
 wish to stop the Installer now to create the disk space, respond
 with a "NO"
 
 Continue with the installation now and create disk space later >>
 Y/N
 
 Warning -- The Installer cannot find enough contiguous disk space
 on LDEV #1 for UPDATE to update with the CSLT created by the
 Installer. (INSTWARN #5)
 
 You must create 60000 sectors of contiguous disk space on LDEV #1
 BEFORE updating with the CSLT created by the Installer.

To recover from the above two messages, ensure that you have sufficient disk space before proceeding with your modification task.

UPDATE Disk Space Message

The following message is generated by the UPDATE utility. UPDATE was not able to put all the files on disk. UPDATE skips non-critical files and exists.

 WARNING: UPDATE tried to find 60,000 sectors of contiguous disk
 space on LDEV1 for its work, but it could only find nnnnnnn
 sectors. Before continuing, refer to the Installation Manual for
 instructions on collecting enough contiguous space on LDEV1 for
 the update. If you still have questions after attempting the
 procedures outlined in the manual, call your HP support
 representative for help.
 
 You may override this warning and continue with the update, but
 HEWLETT-PACKARD STRONGLY DISCOURAGES THIS COURSE OF ACTION.
 
 DO NOT override this warning unless you have a full backup
 available and the time to REINSTALL your system. If UPDATE runs
 out of space on LDEV1, you risk having to REINSTALL.
 
 Override this warning message [OVERRIDE/NO; default=NO]?

At the end of UPDATE, where the system normally boots, the system will stop. The operator must boot the machine manually. Messages will stay on the console. The console will have the following message on it.

 ERROR.
 
 This UPDATE did not restore all files from the tape.(UPDERR 1001)
 There were # files not restored because of out of disk space. (1)
 There were # files not restored for other than disk space
 reasons. (2)
 
 There is more information about the error conditions in previous
 messages.
 START the system, create more free disk space and run this UPDATE
 again. (1)
 Correct the problems and run this UPDATE again. (2)
 Correct the problems, START the system, create more free disk
 space and run this UPDATE again. (3)
 END of LOAD (update).
 

INSTALL Group Capabilities


The INSTALL group is created with certain capabilities which AUTOINST needs to run. If these capabilities are not present, the following message is displayed:

  Program requires more capabilities than group is allowed.
  (LDRERR505)
  Native mode loader message 505 UNABLE TO LOAD PROGRAM TO BE RUN.
  (CIERR 625)

If this message appears on the console where AUTOINST is invoked, use CHGROUP to change to the PUB.SYS group, use ALTGROUP to add the BA, IA, PM, MR, DS, and PH capabilities to the INSTALL group. Use CHGGROUP to return to your original group.

Zero Installation Files


When installation files are streamed, progress messages display. The message may indicate zero installation files. This only means that the products you are installing do not require an installation file. AUTOINST continues with the product installation.

Qualified Patch List


When the patch evaluation is complete, each patch is listed with the result of its qualification process. Some patches are followed by one or more additional patches listed as dependencies. For a patch to qualify, all of its patch dependencies must also qualify.

The absence of a product, or the presence of a product that has been patched with a site-specific patch can cause a patch to not qualify.

Decide whether you want to install the patches that qualified for your system. For additional information on available patches, refer to READ BEFORE INSTALLING for PowerPatch Releases or Communicator 3000 for Express Releases.

Manually Installed Products Warning


Manually installed products, have installation files that cannot be streamed automatically and require special attention. If there are products like this on your SUBSYS tape, a warning message is displayed with the product name(s).

These products must be installed after updating with the CSLT. Refer to Appendix A "Manually Installed Products" for installation instructions.
