AUTOINST sets up the necessary environment, restores files, and creates the accounting structure for the installation.

To create the CSLT using AUTOINST:

  1. From the console, log on and reset system utilities. 

      :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
  :SPOOLER LP;OPENQ
  :STREAMS streams_device
    A common streams_device value is 10. An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. Already spooled and streamed messages might display.

    Reset the outfence. 

      :OUTFENCE 14
    Confirm that INSTALL.SYS has no limit on file size. 
      :REPORT INSTALL.SYS

  2. If you are applying PowerPatch patches, go to Step 3.

    If you are not applying PowerPatch patches, go to Step 4.

PowerPatch Tasks

  1. Restore PowerPatch files.

    AUTOINST requires the AUTOINST fileset, its dependencies, and files from the PowerPatch tape to determine which patches qualify for your system.

    1. Mount the PowerPatch tape and put the tape drive online. 

        :FILE PPT;DEV=TAPE

    2. Restore the files. 

        :RUN STORE.PUB.SYS;INFO="RESTORE *PPT;A@,F@;SHOW;DEV=1"

    3. Reply to tape request.

    4. When the files are restored, dismount the PowerPatch tape.

  2. Run AUTOINST. 

      :RUN AUTOINST.INSTALL.SYS

  3. If you receive a missing capabilities message, use ALTGROUP to add capabilities to the INSTALL group. 

      :ALTGROUP INSTALL;CAP=BA,IA,PM,MR,DS,PH
    Run AUTOINST again.

  4. The update tool checks for disk space. If you receive an error message:

    1. Refer to Appendix H "Error Messages and Warnings" and Appendix C "Managing Disk Space" for actions.

    2. When you find the required disk space, run AUTOINST again.

  5. Select the option that matches your task. 

      :run autoinst

  MPE/iX AUTOINST E.11.02 (C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO.
  Please choose and enter the number corresponding to the software
  you want to install.
  
  1 PowerPatch
  2 SUBSYS (Add-On) and PowerPatch
  3 FOS, SUBSYS, PowerPatch
  4 FOS and SUBSYS
  5 Add-On (SUBSYS only)
  6 Exit
  
  Enter your choice_

  6. Reply to the prompt for LDEV number.

    Press [Return] to use the default device class TAPE or enter the LDEV number of the device where you want the Customized System Load Tape (CSLT) to be created. The device you specify applies to all tape requests.

    CAUTION: Failure to specify a valid tape LDEV number will result in a program hang while writing to tape. If this occurs, a tape request will keep reappearing and will not take the specified LDEV number as input. 
      The file equation from the tape device, which is used to
  restore files and create the CSLT, defaults to 'DEV=TAPE'.
  If you prefer to designate a different device, enter its
  LDEV number now (RETURN for default)>> _

  7. If you are performing an Update or Install task, go to Step 10.

    If you are performing an Add-on, go to Step 11.

Update and Install Tasks

  1. Restore FOS files.

    This step takes about 20-45 minutes.

    1. Mount FOS tape and reply to tape request when the following message displays. 

        Mount the FOS tape and put the tape drive online. The
  files from the FOS tape will now be restored.

    2. Dismount the FOS tape when the restore complete message displays. 

        The files from the FOS tape were successfully restored.

  2. Respond to the SUBSYS prompt:

    Was a SUBSYS tape included in your installation package (y/n)?

    If you do not have a SUBSYS tape, enter N and go to Step 14.

    If you have a SUBSYS tape, enter Y.

    AUTOINST creates the accounting structure. Progress messages display throughout this 5 minute process

Add-on and Update Tasks

  1. Restore SUBSYS files.

    This step takes about 20-45 minutes.

    1. Mount SUBSYS tape and reply to tape requests when the following message displays: 

        Mount the SUBSYS tape and put the tape drive online. The
  HP-Supported software files will be restored.

    2. Dismount the SUBSYS tape when the restore complete message displays: 

        The SUBSYS tape has been successfully restored.
      AUTOINST automatically streams the installation jobs that complete the installation of most products. Progress messages are displayed indicating the completion of each job: 
        Begin processing installation files.
  Processing n installation files.
  . . . * the number of dots equals n *
      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.

      When the installation jobs are complete, the following message displays: 

        All product installation jobs were streamed successfully.

  2. Monitor progress messages.

    AUTOINST creates a copy of the system libraries and displays messages.

  3. If you are applying PowerPatch patches, go to Step 15.

    If you are not applying PowerPatch patches, go to Step 16.

PowerPatch Tasks

  1. Restore PowerPatch information and patches.

    The step takes 20-45 minutes.

    1. Mount PowerPatch tape and reply to the tape request. AUTOINST evaluates the staged library and program files and displays messages.

      AUTOINST qualifies the patches, displays a list of approved patches, and prompts for acceptance of the patches.

    2. If it appears, reply to the prompt to continue processing patches.

      Typing Y accepts the qualified patches. AUTOINST includes them in the CSLT, and continues with creating the CSLT.

      Typing N rejects the qualified patches, AUTOINST does not include the patches in the CSLT, but does continue with creating the CSLT. 

        Do you wish to continue with installation of the patches
  listed above (y/n)?
      The final patch processing takes about 20-45 minutes. AUTOINST restores the patch files and displays: 
        The files from the POWERPATCH tape were successfully restored.
      AUTOINST processes the patch files and displays: 
        Processing patch files . . .Creating CSLT

    3. Dismount the PowerPatch tape.

  2. Mount write-enabled tape to create the CSLT. Reply to the tape request if needed.

    1. AUTOINST updates temporary copies of the system libraries then creates the CSLT. This can take up to 2 hours. 

        The installer will next update staged copies of the
  System SL, XL, and NL. . .

    2. Monitor progress messages.

      The update tool checks for disk space. If you receive an error message refer to Appendix H "Error Messages and Warnings" and Appendix C "Managing Disk Space" for actions.

    3. AUTOINST finishes creating the CSLT and displays: 

        Creating the CSLT ... done
  
  Phase I of AUTOINST is now complete. Dismount and label the CSLT
  AUTOINST CSLT HPVERSION v.uu.ff. Ensure that the write is now
  DISABLED.

  3. A warning message displays and lists manually installed products it cannot install, if applicable.

    Record the product names that it cannot install on your checklist.

  4. A warning message displays and lists data communications products that may require I/O configuration, if applicable. 

      WARNING -- The following data communication products may
  require I/O configuration changes. However, this will not
  affect the software installation for these products.
  (INSTWARN #3)
    Record on the checklist the communication product names.

    AUTOINST displays the following message that indicates that the CSLT is created: 

      To complete the installation, perform an Update from CSLT.

  5. When the CSLT is created, dismount the CSLT, write-disable it, and label it with the v.uu.ff and include the current date. You can find the SUBSYS v.uu.ff on the FOS, SLT, and/or SUBSYS tape labels. You can find the PowerPatch v.uu.ff on the PowerPatch tape labels.

  • Creating the CSLT Using AUTOINST completed.
    Go to the next section on your checklist.
