Upgrade Overview
Upgrade Overview
Planning Your
Upgrade Plan an upgrade by performing the following tasks:
1. Create an accurate list of the modules and devices in
your current configuration.
Refer to your operating system documentation to learn how
to view configuration information by using an operating
system command.
You can also view configuration information in console mode.
Refer to ‘‘Invoking Console Mode’’ in Chapter 1. Once you are
in console mode, find configuration information as follows:
• If you are running DEC OSF/1 or OpenVMS, generate
a list of your system’s modules and devices by entering
the
show config
command at the
P00>>>
console prompt.
Refer to ‘‘Verifying System Configuration ’’ in this chapter
for more information.
• If you are running Microsoft Windows NT, obtain a list
of your system’s modules and devices by accessing the
Hardware configuration display menu item. Refer to
‘‘Verifying System Configuration ’’ in this chapter for
more information.
2. Decide how you wish to change your system.
You can obtain a current description of supported options
from the Digital Systems and Options Catalog.
3. Determine whether you can install the new option
yourself, or whether you need to contact a Digital
service representative or other qualified service
person.

Removable-media devices should be installed only by a
qualified service person.
