HP OpenVMS Alpha Version 8.3 and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers SPD 82.35.14
using the Secure Delivery component of CDSA to au-
thenticate the originator of the product kit and to verify
its contents.
For OpenVMS Alpha, layered product kit validation is
not performed when installing or upgrading OpenVMS
from the distribution media (CD). This restriction is due
to space limitations on the OpenVMS Alpha distribution
CD which prevents CDSA from being present in usable
form while booted from the CD. However, after instal-
lation or upgrade of OpenVMS to Version 8.3, signed
kits that you subsequently install go through the valida-
tion process (including any signed kits that ship on the
distribution media).
In addition, on both OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for
Integrity server systems, the PRODUCT SHOW HIS-
TORY command displays the validation status of in-
stalled products and identifies those that were installed
from unsigned kits or were installed prior to the avail-
abity of the Secure Delivery functionality.
VMSINSTAL
OpenVMS includes the VMSINSTAL facility to handle
the installation of optional HP supplied software prod-
ucts that have not been converted to use the POLY-
CENTER Software Installation utility.
Test Package and Diagnostics
OpenVMS includes a User Environment Test Package
(UETP), which verifies that the OpenVMS operating sys-
tem is properly installed and ready for use on the cus-
tomer’s systems.
You can run diagnostics on individual devices during
normal system operation. Certain critical components
can operate in degraded mode.

Note: The minimum OpenVMS files listed in the table
will allow you to run with minimal functionality. Not all
OpenVMS commands and utilities will function fully as
documented in this minimum configuration. Not all HP
and other layered products will work in this minimum
configuration.
The minimum OpenVMS files are for a system config-
uration where all optional features have been declined
during the initial installation. For most applications, this
is not a realistic OpenVMS environment.
