Step 2: Install OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2  



No special installation procedures are required to run OpenVMS Galaxy software. Galaxy functionality is included in the base operating system and can be enabled or disabled using the console command and system parameter values described later in this chapter.

If your AlphaServer 4100 is not part of a SCSI cluster, you must install OpenVMS Version 7.3 on two system disks--one disk for each instance.

If your AlphaServer 4100 is part of a SCSI cluster with a cluster-common system disk, install OpenVMS Version 7.3 on one system disk.

For more information about installing the OpenVMS Alpha operating system, see the HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3-2 Upgrade and Installation Manual.
