This page describes loading the HDSware software on VMS systems.
HDSware Installation for VMS Systems
You can install HDSware easily with a few simple commands. You
should enter a definition in your SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM file:
DEFINE/SYSTEM/TRANS=CONCEAL HDS$HOME <disk device
|Logical>:[install-directory.]
where <disk device|Logical> is the name of the disk where
the tape is loaded and install-directory is the directory name. Note
the period after install-directory; this is very important because it
links HDSware with that directory. Be careful with the syntax in this
command.
A sample line might be: DEFINE/SYSTEM/TRANS=CONCEAL
HDS$HOME: DUA0:[HDS.]
This sets up a logical name HDS$HOME for HDSware.
Set the directory to the install directory: SET
DEF HDS$HOME:
Insert the tape in the tape device (note its name in
your system). Then load the HDSware software with the command:
BACKUP/NOASSIST <tape device name>:HDS304.BCK/SAVE [...]
This will load the HDSware and its directory structure
on your system. The tape label has "HDS304" (or the appropriate version
number) as its name. The [...] is an important part of the command
line; it permits the creation of the HDSware subdirectories in the
proper relationships.
This tape requires approximately 60 MB of storage, including
the document files.
