Inserting and Mounting the Software CD

To make the software on the CD accessible to the user performing the actual installation, the media must be mounted. After mounting, the set up program can be directly accessed, or the contents can be copied to disk for future access.

  1. Log on as the iadmin user ID.
  2. Insert the CD into the CD drive.
  3. Issue the following command:
    MOUNT /OVER=ID device_name:

    where:

    device_name

    Is the system name for your CD device. Consult your OpenVMS System Administrator for the name of the device for your platform. This document uses "CD:" to generically refer to this device for OpenVMS purposes.

    The CD will now be accessible for the ID performing the actual installation and will have a root directory of:

    [IWAY]

    The installation process can be run directly from CD without copying any files to disk.

  4. If you wish to run the installation directly from CD, proceed to Step 4. Running the Setup Procedure. However, it may be advantageous to copy all files to disk in order to speed installation.

    If you are not installing directly from CD, create an empty subdirectory under the ID you are using for installation. For example:

    CREATE /DIRECTORY [.TMP]
  5. Copy the CD's contents to the [.TMP] directory:
    COPY CD:[IWAY]*.* IWAY:[IADMIN.TMP]
  6. Ensure that you are in the parent directory and not the [.TMP] directory:
    SET DEFAULT SYS$LOGIN

    Note: Do not run the installation procedure from the [.TMP] directory in which ISETUP resides as this will cause errors in the installation process.

  7. Proceed to Step 4. Running the Setup Procedure.

After you complete the installation, you can later delete the [.TMP] directory.
