During installation of OpenVMS 7.3 on a simulated VAXserver 3900 under SIMH, I selected the installation of DECnet Phase IV as follows:

Beginning with OpenVMS V7.1, the DECnet-Plus kit is provided with the OpenVMS operating system kit. Compaq strongly recommends that DECnet users install DECnet-Plus. DECnet Phase IV applications are supported by DECnet-Plus. DECnet Phase IV is also provided as an option. Support for DECnet Phase IV is available through a Prior Version Support Contract. If you install DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP you can run DECnet applications over a TCP/IP network. Please see the OpenVMS Management Guide for information on running DECnet over TCI/IP. If you plan to install DECnet Phase IV do NOT select DECnet-Plus. * Do you want to install DECnet-Plus? (Y/N) N * Do you want to install DECnet Phase IV? (Y/N) Y |
The attempted installation of DECnet Phase IV fails, and the following system messages are generated:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 |
Installing DECnet Phase IV... %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, VAXVMS073 mounted on _DUA3: %PCSI-E-OPENIN, error opening DUA3:[KITS.*]*-*-*-%%%%%-*-*.PCSI*; as input -RMS-E-DNF, directory not found -SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file %PCSIUI-I-NOMATCH, no products were found matching: DECNET_PHASE_IV %PCSIUI-E-NOPROD, no products were found on which to perform this operation %PCSIUI-E-ABORT, operation terminated due to an unrecoverable error condition |
First, let’s mount our OpenVMS media and see if we can locate the appropriate kit manually:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 |
$ MOUNT/OVER=ID DUA3: %MOUNT-I-WRITELOCK, volume is write locked %MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, VAXVMS073 mounted on _BOZO$DUA3: $ DIRECTORY DUA3:[000000...]*DECNET*IV*.*;* Directory DUA3:[000000] DECNET_PHASE_IV_VAX073.DIR;1 Total of 1 file. Directory DUA3:[DECNET_PHASE_IV_VAX073.KIT] DEC-VAXVMS-DECNET_PHASE_IV-V0703--1.PCSI;1 Total of 1 file. Grand total of 2 directories, 2 files. |
OK, we’ve found our kit. Let’s install it:
|
1 |
$ SET DEF DUA3:[DECNET_PHASE_IV_VAX073.KIT] |
Confirm that the .PCSI file is in the current directory:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
$ DIRECTORY Directory DUA3:[DECNET_PHASE_IV_VAX073.KIT] DEC-VAXVMS-DECNET_PHASE_IV-V0703--1.PCSI;1 Total of 1 file. |
And install the kit:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |

Excellent - DECNet Phase IV is now correctly installed. You can proceed with applying your DECNet license PAKs (the LICENSE command), and configuration of DECNet as appropriate (@SYS$MANAGER:NETCONFIG.COM).
