4.7.6.2 AGEN$INCLUDE Files

If you use the AGEN$INCLUDE feature in SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT to include files
containing additional parameter settings, and the files that are being included are not on the
system disk, then do the following before upgrading:
1.

Move the files to the system disk.

2.

Update the AGEN$INCLUDE entries to reflect the new locations of these files. For these
entries, do not use logical names that you defined in SYS$STARTUP:SYLOGICALS.COM
or elsewhere for your normal startup procedure. When you boot the system from the
OpenVMS operating system media for an upgrade, your normal startup procedure is not
run, and so these logical names are not defined for the upgrade. In addition, when you first
boot the upgraded system, a special startup procedure is used.

After the upgrade is complete, you can move these included files back to their original locations.
If you do so, remember to re-set the AGEN$INCLUDE entries in
SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT.

4.7.7 Verifying System Parameters

Verify (and modify if necessary) system parameters. (For information about verifying and
modifying system parameters, see the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 2: Tuning,
Monitoring, and Complex Systems
.) During an upgrade, AUTOGEN initially generates parameter
values based on parameter defaults. However, during the GETDATA phase, AUTOGEN modifies
parameter values based on entries stored in SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT. In addition,
AUTOGEN analyzes feedback information stored in the AGEN$FEEDBACK.DAT file and, if
the data is valid, adjusts any related parameter values accordingly. (AUTOGEN considers data
as valid if the system has been up at least for 24 hours and the feedback is no more than 30 days
old.) To ensure that your feedback data is up to date, follow the instructions in

Section 4.8
