Readme File: Prerequisites for Provisioning OpenVMS on the Supported Integrity Servers
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Prior to following the numbered steps, note the following requirements:


* You must be running HP Systems Insight Manager Version 5.1 or higher.

* Configure the InfoServer utility and the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS BOOTP and TFTP servers on 
  an OpenVMS system located in the same LAN as the Integrity servers that are to be provisioned; 
  for more information, see the PROVISIONINGOPENVMS.PDF document.

* HP does not recommend using vMedia directly from a DVD to install or upgrade OpenVMS; instead, use the HP iLO
  web interface to create an ISO disk image of the PCSI-installable kit, and store it on a disk on the PC or Windows
  server from where you will browse to access HP SIM.

* Do not allow write access to your MP or serial console while the installation or upgrade is in progress.



Deployment Steps:

1) Unpack the .ZIP file to a folder on your Windows server.

2) Follow step 2A or 2B:

   2A) If you have file association set on your Server, you can install the plug-in by double-clicking 
       on the InstallOpenVMSProvisioning.jar file.

   2B) If you do not have file association enabled for the .jar file, run the following command from a DOS prompt:
       java -jar "InstallOpenVMSProvisioning.jar"

3) If your OpenVMS InfoServer or vMedia is properly configured, you are ready to deploy OpenVMS to your Integrity server: 
   From the DEPLOY pull-down menu, you can select options for installing and upgrading; for more information,
   see the PROVISIONINGOPENVMS.PDF document.
