Reconfiguring OpenVMS: Installing DECnet, LAT?

» close window

The Question is:

 
OpenVMS was loaded onto a new DS20 using the Factory Installed Software
process which runs when the machine is first booted.  At this time the only
networking option that was loaded was Digital TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
and DECnet Phase IV was removed.
 
 
WE now require to use DECnet Phase IV and LAT.  How do we install it?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  For assistance in installing DECnet Phase IV, please see the OpenVMS
  upgrade and installation manual, and specifically the sequence used
  to boot from the CD-ROM media.  The following menu entries are of
  interest when working with layered products shipped on the OpenVMS
  Alpha distribution media:
 
      o Install or upgrade layered products and patches
      o Show installed products
      o Reconfigure installed products
      o Remove installed products
 
  LAT is integrated into OpenVMS, and is normally loaded onto an OpenVMS
  system when it is installed.  If LAT was specifically reconfigured off
  the system -- which is certainly possible, but rather unusual -- then
  the OpenVMS CD-ROM media can be used to reconfigure OpenVMS itself, and
  to reload LAT support.
