^ - to change prior input (not always possible)
Ctrl/Y - to exit the installation procedure
There are two choices for installation/upgrade:
Initialize - Removes all software and data files that were
previously on the target disk and installs OpenVMS ALPHA.
Preserve -- Installs or Upgrades OpenVMS ALPHA on the target disk
and retains all other contents of the target disk.
* Note: You cannot use preserve to install OpenVMS ALPHA on a disk on
which any other operating system is installed. This includes
implementations of OpenVMS for other architectures.
Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE] initialize
You must enter the device name for the target disk on which
OpenVMS ALPHA will be installed.

Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)
Default Time Differential Factor for standard time is 1:00.
Default Time Differential Factor for daylight saving time is 2:00.
The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your
system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar
in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered
in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative
(-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.).
This time zone supports daylight saving time.
Is this time zone currently on daylight saving time? (Yes/No): no

HP AXPVMS SSL V1.4-331: SSL for OpenVMS Alpha V1.4 (Based on OpenSSL 0.9.8h)
There are post installation tasks that you must complete
including the following items that are described in detail:
- ensuring SSL startup and logical names creation files
are executed
- updating or copying the necessary startup, shutdown and
configuration files from the installed template files
- running the Installation Verification Program (IVP)
Refer to the SSL release notes and the OpenVMS SSL documentation for
more information about activities that should be performed once the
installation has finished.
SSL has created the following directory structure and files in
PCSI$DESTINATION (which defaults to SYS$SYSDEVICE:[VMS$COMMON]):
[SSL] Top-level SSL directory
[SSL.ALPHA_EXE] Contains the images for the Alpha platform
[SSL.COM] Directory to hold the various command procedures
[SSL.DEMOCA] Directory structure to demo SSL's CA features
[SSL.DEMOCA.CERTS] Directory to hold the certificates and keys
[SSL.DEMOCA.CONF] Contains the configuration files
[SSL.DEMOCA.CRL] Contains revoked certificates and CRLs
[SSL.DEMOCA.PRIVATE] Directory for private keys and random data
[SSL.DOC] OpenSSL.org provided documentation & information
[SSL.INCLUDE] Contains the C Header (.H) files
[SSL.TEST] Contains the files used during the IVP
[SYS$STARTUP] Startup and shutdown templates and files
[SYSHLP] Release notes
[SYSHLP.EXAMPLES.SSL] SSL crypto and secure session examples
[SYSLIB] SSL shareable image files
[SYSTEST] SSL$IVP.COM test files
after upgrading from previous SSL versions
The SSL release notes provide information to verify the SSL startup,
shutdown, and configuration template files. Template files provide the
user with new features or changes, but do not overwrite existing command
procedures and configuration files. A product upgrade or re-installation
will not overwrite or create a new file version if the file has been modified.
It will only create the template files. It is suggested that you review
these files for any changes.
For more information, refer to the SSL Release Notes and other SSL
files using the system logical name definitions, or the subdirectory of
the PCSI destination device and directory.
including verifying startup command procedures and logical names.
Once the installation is complete, verify that SSL$STARTUP.COM is
located in SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file. This will define the
SSL$ executive mode logical names in the SYSTEM logical name table,
and install the SSL shareable images in memory that reside in the
[SYSLIB] directory.
Also, add SSL$SHUTDOWN.COM to the SYS$MANAGER:SYSHUTDWN.COM file to remove
the installed images and deassign the SSL$ logical name definitions.
If you have customized the SSL command files for the site, it is
suggested that you compare the SSL provided template files with your
existing command procedures and take the appropriate action to update
your files. A product upgrade or re-installation will not overwrite
these files.
By default SYS$STARTUP: logical can be used to locate the SSL provided
startup files.
System managers should modify site-specific requirements in SSL files:
SSL$COM:SSL$SYSTARTUP.COM
SSL$COM:SSL$SYSHUTDOWN.COM
HP recommends that these site-specific SSL command procedures are utilized
to tailor the SSL installation specific to the reqirements of the system
or site. These files are located in the SSL$COM: directory.
Refer to SYS$HELP:SSL014.RELEASE_NOTES for more information.
The SSL product release notes contain up to date information regarding
bug fixes, known problems, and general installation information.
