This section lists procedures for preparing to use the CD-ROM update and add-on
tool, HPINSTAL. Refer to Appendix E CD-ROM Resources
for additional CD-ROM set up information.
To prepare your local system to create a CSLT using HPINSTAL:
Log on.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
If you are not working at the console, allow yourself the
VSCLOSE and VSOPEN commands.
:ALLOW MANAGER.SYS;COMMANDS=VSCLOSE,VSOPEN
Start the LP and streams_device.
:SPOOLER LP;START
:STREAMS streams_device
An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. A common
streams_device value is 10. Already spooled and
streamed messages might display.
Load the CD-ROM disk labelled MPE_v.uu.ff_1 into
the CD-ROM disk drive.
v.uu.ff is the version.update.fix
level of the software. Write the v.uu.ff level on the
checklist.
HPINSTAL prompts for the second disk when required.
If you have SCSI CD-ROM drives, manually mount the disk.
:AVRSCSI "MOUNT ldev#"
where ldev# is the logical device number of the SCSI
CD-ROM disk drive.
When the CD-ROM disk is loaded, AVRSCSI returns the message:
Successfully mounted LDEV n
Verify that the CD-ROM drive status indicates MASTER-RO.
:DSTAT
This is a sample DSTAT response:
LDEV-TYPE STATUS VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
11-CD-ROM MASTER-RO HPINSTAL (MPE_C.55.00_1-0)
12-CD-ROM MASTER-RO HPINSTAL (MPE_C.55.00_2-0)
If the DSTAT status shows LONER, put the CD-ROM
disks on-line.
:VSOPEN MPE_v.uu.ff_1
:VSOPEN MPE_v.uu.ff_2
If you have only one CD-ROM drive, put only the first CD-ROM disk
on-line now.
Run the DSTAT command again to verify the drives have a status
of MASTER-RO.
Create directory entries to enable access to group INSTUTIL
on volume set MPE_v.uu.ff_1.
:LISTGROUP INSTUTIL
If the INSTUTIL group is non-existent, create the
INSTUTIL group and set home volume set.
:NEWGROUP INSTUTIL;HOMEVS=MPE_v.uu.ff_1
If the home volume set field displays a different v.uu.ff
than the new version:
:ALTGROUP INSTUTIL.SYS;HOMEVS=MPE_v.uu.ff_1
If you are performing an Update task, proceed to Step 11.
If you are performing an Add-On task, proceed to Step 12.
This step is optional. Create files for product and keyword
references.
If you have an old PRODLIST.PUB.SYS file, purge it or
verify all products.
Create PRODLIST.PUB.SYS file. This file lists all the
products that are on your support contract. The list should match
the list on your keyword certificate. Refer to "Creating a Product
List" in Appendix E CD-ROM Resources for
directions on creating a PRODLIST file.
HPINSTAL references this file to determine automatically
which products will be applied to your system.
Create KEYFILE.PUB.SYS file. this file contains the
keyword necessary to unlock the products in PRODLIST.PUB.SYS
on the CD-ROM. Refer to Appendix E CD-ROM Resources
for directions on creating a keyfile file.
If you are adding-on new products, the new product numbers and
keyword will only be requested interactively as part of the
HPINSTAL process.
Proceed to Step 13.
If you are creating a CSLT for applying to a Remote system, proceed
to Step 13.
If you are performing a Add-on or Update task for the local system
only, proceed to Step 14.
This step is optional. If you are creating a CSLT on the local
system, for applying to a remote system, and you have additional files
you want to include on the STORE portion of the CSLT:
Create a file, addfile, that lists any files
you want to include on the CSLT, such as third-party or in-house
product files.
Set up a file equation to equate addfile to
indirlst.hpinstal checks the indirlst
file for additional files and adds them to the CSLT.
:FILE INDIRLST=addfile.group.account
Proceed to Step 14.
Set up the HPINSTAL environment by invoking the SETUP
script.
:SETUP.INSTUTIL
Execute SETINIT command to cleanup any previous HPINSTAL
accounting structure, if prompted.
:SETINIT
A series of messages display. The process takes about five minutes.
The final message is:
setup is complete
If you are performing a PowerPatch task, proceed to Step 16.
If you are performing an Add-on or Update task without a PowerPatch,
proceed to the next section on your checklist.
PowerPatch Tasks
Mount the PowerPatch tape and restore the latest version of the
HPINSTAL tool.
