6.4.4 Saving Archived Files
By default, the OpenVMS upgrade deletes files that were archived as filename.type_OLD by
OpenVMS remedial kits. If you do not want to delete these files, you can save them by performing
one of the following actions:
•
When the script asks whether you want the defaults for all options, answer NO. (This script
is shown in the example in
.) Step through the options and answer
NO to the option for deleting files archived by remedial kits. This action saves all such files.
•
Before beginning the upgrade, rename any _OLD files that you want to save. Files that you
do not rename are deleted.
Note that the upgrade does not delete all files with a file extension ending in _OLD. Rather, it
deletes only those _OLD files that were archived by OpenVMS remedial kits.
NOTE:
OpenVMS patches save these _OLD files in VMS$REMEDIAL_OLD_FILES.TXT in the
SYS$UPDATE directory. All files listed in this file are supposed to have _OLD appended to their
names; however, some patch kits add the files without this extension. If the upgrade procedure
detects files without _OLD appended, it displays a message similar to the following:
%UPGRADE-I-FIXUP, appending _OLD to file names in
PCSI$DESTINATION:[SYSUPD] VMS$REMEDIAL_OLD_FILES.TXT

6.4.5 Selecting Product Component Options
As you begin the upgrade procedure, the procedure asks whether you want all the default values
(meaning all the files and subgroups of files for each component included in the operating system).
The display is similar to the following:
The following product has been selected:
HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.4 Platform (product suite)
Configuration phase starting ...
You will be asked to choose options, if any, for each selected product and for
any products that may be installed to satisfy software dependency requirements.
HP I64VMS OPENVMS V8.4: OPENVMS and related products Platform

Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]
During an upgrade, the PCSI utility defines default values as the values that you selected when
you last installed or upgraded the OpenVMS operating system on your system. Therefore, before
you respond to the prompt, note the following:
•
If you accept the default values, you receive the same components that you selected when
you last installed or upgraded the system (instead of all the components currently available)
