This section describes how to create your Customized System Load Tape (CSLT)
from CD-ROM source media using the CD-ROM tool, hpinstal.
To create the CSLT using hpinstal
Start HPINSTAL.
:RUN HPINSTAL.INSTALL.SYS
Select the appropriate option. If you select a subsys
option, your system software must be on the same release level as the
subsys product.
Please enter the number corresponding to the
software you want to install.
1 Update this system
2 Update this system and install patches from a PowerPatch tape
3 Create a CSLT for another system
4 Create a CSLT with PowerPatch patches for another system
5 Complete the update of this system using a CSLT created on
another system
6 Add SUBSYS products to this system
7 Add SUBSYS products and install patches from a Powerpatch
tape
8 EXIT
? Help on the above actions
Enter your choice >>_
Reply to the prompt for the LDEV number. Press [Return] to
use the default of device class TAPE, or enter the LDEV number of the
device where you want the CSLT to be created. The device you specify
applies to all tape requests.
The file equation for the output device (where the CSLT is
created) defaults to DEV=TAPE. If you prefer to designate a
specific tape device, please enter its LDEV number now (RETURN
for default) >>
If you are creating a CSLT on a local system to apply to a Remote
system, proceed to Step 5.
If you are performing an Add-on or Update task for a local system
only, proceed to Step 6.
Remote Tasks
Respond to the prompt to specify a Base Group.
If you have not added customized files or a different
configuration to your CSLT, press [Return]. This is the
typical condition.
If you have added customized files or a different
configuration to your CSLT through the use of a Base Group,
specify that Base Group name now. (Refer to
Appendix E "CD-ROM Resources" for
directions on creating a Base Group.)
When ready to create the CSLT, HPINSTAL will
copy your current configuration group to HPCONFIG.SYS and use
that as the base group. If you have customized a configuration
group that you would like HPINSTAL to use as the base group
while creating the CSLT, please provide it now.
Base group (RETURN for default) >>
Proceed to Step 6.
If needed, edit or create a PRODLIST.PUB.SYS file.
A master product list was included with the CD-ROM. This list shows
all products available to be installed, and needs to be checked
against your keyword certificate now.
Enter all numbers from the master list of products included
with your keyword certificate.
If your product list contains many of the over 200 subsystems,
you can enter ALL as your product number and then edit
the list as necessary.
hpinstal can also automatically read the keyword for your
products from the KEYFILE.pub.sys file. (Refer to
Appendix E "CD-ROM Resources" for
directions on creating and using the file
KEYFILE.pub.sys.)
Add or delete product numbers as required.
NOTE: Add-on product numbers can only be entered interactively.
When all product numbers have been entered, type two slashes (//)
or [Return].
Respond YES to accept the master list of products at the
prompt.
Begin validation of the master product list...
Reading PRODLIST.PUB.SYS...
DONE
Your master list contains the following n subsystems:
[The subsystems included in the PRODLIST file are listed here.]
Is the master list of products correct (Y/N)?>
Type or verify the master product keyword at the prompt. Your
keyword validates the master product list.
The keyword is included on the keyword certificate that comes with
the CD-ROM disks. The keyword is not case sensitive. But you
must enter it exactly as it appears including the alphanumerics,
slash (/), and hyphen (-).
If you have a keyfile.pub.sys file, hpinstal
automatically reads the keyword for your products from the
keyfile.pub.sys file. (Refer to
Appendix E "CD-ROM Resources" for directions
on creating and using the keyfile.pub.sys file.)
Please enter your keyword. The keyword accompanies the CD-ROM. It
is made up of fourteen (14) characters including alphanumerics, the
slash(/) and the hyphen (-). You must enter your keyword EXACTLY AS
IT APPEARS:
Your keyword >>
NOTE: Add-on product keyword can only be entered interactively.
Select to install all or a portion of the listed products:
Enter Y to select all products on the list.
Enter N to select a subset of the products, proceed to Step 10.
Do you want to install all of the above products? (Y/N)>>
If you accidentally type N, are viewing the list of products,
and you do not wish to make any changes to the list:
Type two slashes (//) or [Return].
Confirm the products as you did in Step 7.
Optionally, create a subset list of products from the full list of
products.
This is typically done to create a CSLT for use on a remote system,
but can be done for your local system as well.
CAUTION: If you customize the list of products, and if you
selected HPINSTAL option 1 or 2, it will create a CSLT with, and
install, a subset of the master list of entitled products.
If you update your local system with a subset of the master list of products,
you cannot use HPINSTAL, option 6 or 7, to add products to the local
system.You must use HPINSTAL, option 1 or 2, and customize the subset
list of products.
To create a subset list of products:
Enter N to the prompt in Step 9.
The N option puts HPINSTAL into customization
mode. HPINSTALL displays the list of products in the
current PRODLIST.install.sys file.
Review this list and make changes as needed.
Edit the file to create the list of products that will be
installed using the CSLT. Use the CSLT created in this section to
modify your remote system.
If you are performing a PowerPatch task, proceed to Step 12.
If you are performing an Add-on or Update task without a PowerPatch,
proceed to Step13.
PowerPatch Tasks
Restore patch information, qualify patches, and restore the patch
files.
Mount the PowerPatch tape, as prompted.
Reply to the tape request.
Respond Y to accept the list of qualified patches,
as prompted:
Do you wish to continue with the installation of the patches
listed above(Y)?>>
Remount the PowerPatch tape, as prompted;
Mount the POWERPATCH tape and put the tape drive online.
The files from the POWERPATCH tape will now be restored.
Reply to the tape request.
Proceed to Step 13.
Create the CSLT.
Mount a write-enabled tape on the appropriate tape drive and reply to
the tape request, as prompted. This can take up to two and a half hours.
hpinstal determines the files that belong to your
selected list of products.
Resolving product-level dependencies... DONE
Determining the subsystem files to be installed
... DONE
hpinstal stages system libraries and creates the CSLT.
This can take from one up to two and a half hours.

Insert the second CD-ROM disk if prompted, then press
[Return].
The installer is done with the CD-ROM currently mounted.
Please remove the CD-ROM and insert the second CD-ROM, marked
MPE_v.uu.ff_2.
When the second CD-ROM volume is mounted, press RETURN to
continue >>
Thank You
Verifying the second CD-ROM . . . Done.
The second CD-ROM volume has been mounted.
Continuing with installing from the CD-ROM volume MPE_v.uu.ff_2.
After the CSLT is created, dismount the tape, label it CSLT
v.uu.ff, and set it to read only.
The final response messages vary depending upon the CSLT option you
selected. Basically, the response is:
Phase I of HPINSTAL is now complete:
A warning message displays, if applicable.
WARNING -- This program cannot install the products listed below.
(INSTWARN #1)
Record on your checklist any products HPINSTAL cannot
completely install.
HPINSTAL will automatically cleanup files, exit, and return
you to the MPE/iX prompt.
Purging temporary files and cleaning up...
If you are creating a CSLT on a local system to apply to a Remote
system, proceed to Step 17.
If you are performing an Add-on or Update task for a local system
only, omit Step 17, and go to the next section on your checklist.
Remote Tasks
Refer to Appendix E "CD-ROM Resources" for
directions on creating multiple copies of the CSLT with the
SLTCOPY command for use at remote systems.
If you are creating additional modified CSLTs for use on remote
systems, reinvoke HPINSTAL and select option 3, "Create a
CSLT for another system," for each CSLT you need. If each remote
system is unique, you will need to modify the PRODLIST file
for each system. Refer to Appendix E "CD-ROM
Resources" for directions on creating additional PRODLIST
files.
Creating the CSLT using HPINSTAL completed.
Go to the next section on your checklist.
