Please take the time to read OPENVMS-NETKIT-README.TXT, copies are
located in BULOVA::ALPHA$KITS:[V71_SSB] and BULOVA::SYS$KITS:[V71_SSB].
You will find that the OpenVMS Alpha kit is restored in several steps,
and that the necessary DECnet kits are located within the BACKUP/IMAGE
of the Alpha PCSI CD-ROM installation kit.
The OPENVMS-NETKIT-README.TXT file covers how to expand and restore the
installation kit to the expected format, from which one can perform the
installation.
If you're specifically looking for a DECnet Phase IV kit, you'll want
to find someone in your area with the CD-ROM set. (I would not be
surprised to learn the kit was available to via a local InfoServer.)
(Since the distribution kit is a compressed version of a BACKUP saveset,
it takes a couple of steps to extricate the DECnet kit...)
For information on acquiring a distribution kit via internal ordering
channels, see note 8.* and 9.* over in VAXAXP::VMSNOTES.

| 5876.3 | ph IV kit on TK50 upgrade? | KERNEL::VERNOND | | Mon Mar 17 1997 15:56 | 12 |
| Hi,
Could you tell me if the decnet IV kit is on the TK50 VMS V7.1 upgrade.
(Or is it an extra now? I know you get it on the CDrom upgrade).
The cust has three tapes, two VMS and one DECNET plus. He can't find
the kit. Systems are VAXes (all end systems). I'm sorry if this is basic,
but I can't get hold of a copy of the upgrade on TK50.
Thanks,
Dave Vernon,

| 5876.6 | What is the label on the Ph IV TK50 ? | COMICS::WEIR | John Weir, UK Country Support | Thu Mar 20 1997 15:43 | 22 |

Steve,
I have read the manual, and also your note which appears to fairly accurately
reproduce it ;-)
The documentation states that the tape containing DECnet Phase IV should
be mounted in the TK50 drive, but it gives no clue about which tape
contains DECnet Phase IV.
I don't have a TK50 kit, so I can't check, but my Customer says that his
"kit" is only 3 tapes, viz: VMS Tape 1, VMS Tape 2, and DECnet-Plus. He
says he has no other tapes in the kit and cannot find DECnet Ph IV on the
tape (ie he has repeated the documented command for each tape in turn, and
without success).
So, please advise which tape should contain DECnet Phase IV.
Thanks very much,
John Weir

OK ... Just for those who come accross the same problem.
My Customer found the answer. He says that the DECnet Ph IV kit is on the
end of the VMS TK50 #2, and that it took 2 hours (sic!) for the tape to
wind backwards and forwards to find it.
So, if you (or your Customers) need to install DECnet Phase IV V7.1 off
TK50, I suggest you start it before lunch and just eat slowly ;-)
Regards,
John Weir

| 5876.8 | TK50 kits are seedy, and expensive... | XDELTA::HOFFMAN | Steve, OpenVMS Engineering | Fri Mar 21 1997 13:30 | 16 |

Or order the CD-ROM kit and a CD-ROM drive -- consider loaning this
customer a CD-ROM for a while, and run some prices for the cost of
the CD-ROM distributions vs the TK50 distributions.
If you are doing it for the customer -- bring along your own CD-ROM
and drive. It's certainly far faster...
And with a CD-ROM drive and OpenVMS CD-ROM distribution, one can boot
a read-only version of OpenVMS, and can perform maintenance and BACKUP
operations directly on the "real" system disk.
(Notice any recurring themes here? :-)
