Using this qualifier will allow easy removal of the kit from the system in the event of problems. If you wish to disable this option you must use the /NOSAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier on the PRODUCT INSTALL command. The /SAVE_RECOVERY_DATA qualifier is optional but highly recommended. Using this qualifier will allow easy removal of the kit from the system in the event of problems. The kit location may be a tape drive, CD, or a disk directory that contains the kit. The /SOURCE qualifier is not needed if the PRODUCT INSTALL command is executed from the same directory as the kit location. Additional help on installing PCSI kits can be found by typing HELP PRODUCT INSTALL at the system prompt. 7.3 Scripting of Answers to Installation Questions During installation, this kit will ask and require user response to several questions. If you wish to automate the installation of this kit and avoid having to provide responses to these questions, you must create a DCL command procedure that includes the following logical name definitions and commands: o To avoid the BACKUP question, define the following: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE o Add the following qualifiers to the PRODUCT INSTALL command and add that command to the DCL procedure. /PROD=HP/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0 [/SOURCE=location of Kit] o De-assign the logical names assigned For example, a sample command file to install the TZ_RUS-V0100 kit would be: $ DEFINE/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP TRUE $! $ PROD INSTALL TZ_RUS/PRODUCER=HP/BASE=AXPVMS/VER=V1.0" $! $ DEASSIGN/SYS NO_ASK$BACKUP $! $ exit $! 7.4 Special Installation Instructions: The following instructions apply to users who have set the time zone to GMT-* or GMTPLUS* : The definition of the timezone names has been changed in the time-zone public database (ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/). The effect of this change is that, after installation of the TZ_RUS-V0100 kit, "GMT-" (minus) will now mean "ahead (east) of" Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and "GMTPLUS" will now mean "behind (west) of" GMT. For example, GMT-1 will mean one hour ahead (east) of GMT and the Time Differential Factor (SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL) will be set to "3600". GMTPLUS1 will mean one hour behind (west) of GMT and the SYS$TIMEZONE_DIFFERENTIAL will be set to "-3600". This is the opposite meaning of what you are used to. In order to correct for this, after installation of this kit, users must run the SYS$MANAGER:UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM command file and set the timezone to the opposite of what was originally set. For example, if you had previously set the timezone to GMTPLUS*, you must now set the timezone to GMT-* to account for the timezone definition changes. For usage of UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual. 8 COPYRIGHT AND DISCLAIMER: (C) Copyright 2011 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. Confidential computer software.
