6.3.2 Selecting INITIALIZE or PRESERVE
The procedure displays the following information and prompts:
***********************************************************
This procedure will ask a series of questions.
() - encloses acceptable answers
[] - encloses default answers
Type your response and press the <Return>key. Type:
? - to repeat an explanation
^ - to change prior input (not always possible)
Ctrl/Y - to exit the installation procedure
There are two choices for installation/upgrade:
Initialize - removes all software and data files that were
previously on the target disk and installs OpenVMS I64.
Preserve -- installs or upgrades OpenVMS I64 on the target disk
and retains all other contents of the target disk.
* NOTE: You cannot use preserve to install OpenVMS I64 on a disk on
which any other operating system is installed. This includes
implementations of OpenVMS for other architectures.
Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE])
For an upgrade, press Enter (or Return) to accept the default (PRESERVE).
6.3.3 Specifying the Target Disk
Next the procedure asks for the name of the target disk. If you enter a question mark (?), the
system displays a list of devices on your system. Select the appropriate disk and respond to the
prompt. For example:
You must enter the device name for the target disk on which
OpenVMS I64 will be installed.
Enter device name for target disk: [DKB300] (? for choices) DKB400
If you select a device that is not available or that cannot be used for some other reason, the system
displays information indicating why the device cannot be used. For example, if you enter MKA500,
a tape device, a message similar to the following is displayed:
