NOTE: After completing the installation, you must register all licenses for use of the operating
system and any installed layered products. For information about registering licenses, see
“Registering Your Licenses” (page 128) . For information on using HP SIM provisioning to register

D.1.6.2 Provisioning OpenVMS Through vMedia
To provision OpenVMS using HP SIM with the vMedia, follow these steps:
1.
Complete the procedure described in “Setting Up vMedia” (page 250) to use vMedia to
present the OpenVMS OE DVD or DVD image to the Integrity servers to be provisioned.
2. Ensure that each server to be provisioned is not booted into an operating system. The servers
can be in a powered-OFF state, in a halted state, or booted into the EFI shell. If a server is
powered-OFF, Provisioning will power ON the system before deploying OpenVMS.
IMPORTANT: Provisioning performs a system reset through the MP before deploying
OpenVMS on a server. If the server is booted into an OS, ensure that the OS is gracefully
shutdown before proceeding further with Provisioning to avoid losing any unsaved data.
3. Ensure that the AutoBoot Timeout value for each server to be provisioned is set to at least
5 seconds. This parameter can be configured through the EFI Boot Manager menu (Boot
Configuration
-> AutoBoot Configuration -> Set AutoBoot Timeout).
4. From the HP SIM home page, select System and Event Collections—> All Management
Processors
.
5. Select the MP of the Integrity server to be provisioned. Select Deploy —> OpenVMS, and
choose one of the following options from the OpenVMS menu:
•
Install OpenVMS from vMedia
• Upgrade OpenVMS from vMedia
In this example, the option Upgrade OpenVMS from vMedia is selected.
NOTE: OpenVMS from vMedia can be provisioned on one server at a time.
6. HP SIM displays the Integrity server to be provisioned. Verify the target server that you
have selected, and click Run Now.
