Software Installation Program

553-3121-210 Standard 3.0
Chapter 16 – Starting up and testing the system
Once the installation or modification is completed successfully, the PCMCIA
can be removed from the Small System Controller card and reused at other
sites.
The Software Installation Program provides a menu-driven method of
selecting from the various options for installing, modifying or upgrading the
software, customer data, feature set and Incremental Software Management
(ISM) parameters. Information about the selections is stored in flash ROM in
the form of a list of instructions for the program to follow when it is run.
Invoking the program
The Software Installation Program must be run from TTY 0 (port 0 on
card 0). There are two methods of invoking the Software Installation
Program:
1) by issuing the "upgrade" command in overlay 143 (not for use when
upgrading to Release 2 software),
or
2 by pressing ^I (control I) keys while the installation prompt is displayed
during SYSLOAD.
Note: When a new system is powered up before software has been
installed, the Software Installation Program is invoked automatically.
To upgrade from Generic X27 Release 1 to Release 2 software, you must use
the control-I keystroke to start the Software Installation Program. You cannot
use overlay 143 to upgrade to Release 2.
Function selection
The Software Installation Program is menu driven. The main menu provides
the core functionality of the program. It encompasses the following key
functions:
• installing software in a new system
• upgrading and modifying software in an existing system
• using utilities to work with archived databases, review data, back up data,
undo an installation in progress and to clear unwanted data
