HP BA322 90087 - Manual (Page 86)

Before you shut down the operating system that you plan to upgrade, follow these steps to
remove DECram for OpenVMS (if you have already shut down your operating system, you must
reboot before continuing).
IMPORTANT: Perform these steps only on versions of OpenVMS Alpha prior to 8.2.
1. Check for a POLYCENTER software installation (PCSI) utility DECram for OpenVMS
installation by logging on to a privileged account and entering the following command:
$ PRODUCT SHOW PRODUCT DECRAM
If the resulting display shows that DECram is not found on the system, skip to step 3;
otherwise, proceed to step 2.
2. If the SHOW PRODUCT display shows that DECram for OpenVMS is installed, enter the
following command to remove the product:
$ PRODUCT REMOVE DECRAM
Once this command has completed successfully, you are finished; you do not need to perform
the next steps. If the product removal fails, go on to step 3.
3. Check for files on your system from a VMSINSTAL utility DECram for OpenVMS installation
by entering the following commands:
$ DIRECTORY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SYS$MDDRIVER.EXE
$ DIRECTORY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSEXE]MDMANAGER.EXE
$ DIRECTORY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSMGR]MDRECOVER.EXE
$ DIRECTORY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSHLP]DECRAM$HELP.HLB
$ DIRECTORY SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSTEST]DECRAM$IVP.COM
If files are found, use the commands in step 4 to remove them. If no files are found, skip to
step 5.
4. Remove the files found in step 3 by entering the appropriate DELETE commands (the
/NOCONFIRM/NOLOG qualifiers are optional):
$ DELETE/NOCONFIRM/NOLOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYS$LDR]SYS$MDDRIVER.EXE;*
$ DELETE/NOCONFIRM/NOLOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSEXE]MDMANAGER.EXE;*
$ DELETE/NOCONFIRM/NOLOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSMGR]MDRECOVER.EXE;*
$ DELETE/NOCONFIRM/NOLOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSHLP]DECRAM$HELP.HLB;*
$ DELETE/NOCONFIRM/NOLOG SYS$SYSDEVICE:[SYS*.SYSTEST]DECRAM$IVP.COM;*
5. In addition, remove the DECram for OpenVMS startup file from the startup database by
entering the following commands:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> STARTUP SET DATABASE STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
SYSMAN> STARTUP REMOVE FILE MDRECOVER.EXE
Ignore any “-STARTUP-E-FILNOTFND, STARTUP file MDRECOVER.EXE not found”
errors. To exit from SYSMAN, press Ctrl/Z or enter EXIT.
4.4.2 Remove TDC Version 2.0 (Alpha Only)
TDC Version 2.0 was released for use on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 systems. Prior to installing
the current release of OpenVMS Alpha, remove TDC Version 2.0 from your system.
Before you shut down the operating system that you plan to upgrade, follow these steps to
remove TDC V2.0 (if you have already shut down your operating system, you must reboot before
continuing):
