Upgrading the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
7.3 Upgrade Phase 1
For the VAXstation 4000 series machine, 100 dots per inch video fonts
are used by default. If you decide not to install 100 dots per inch
video fonts, you must edit SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM
to force 75 dots per inch video fonts to be the default. Otherwise,
certain applications may not space text properly.
For instructions on how to configure your system with both 75 and 100
dots per inch video fonts, see the installation guide or look at the
template command procedure SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.TEMPLATE.

7.3.8 Upgrading Networking Products
Next, the procedure displays messages describing the DECnet options. For more
information, refer to Section 1.1.2.
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 TCP/IP.
If you plan to install DECnet Phase IV, do NOT select DECnet-Plus.
* Do you want to install DECnet-Plus. (Y/N) y
If you are upgrading from OpenVMS VAX Version 7.2 and are changing DECnet
products, the procedure prompts you to remove the version of DECnet installed
on your system. You must remove this DECnet product because both Compaq
DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS VAX and DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS VAX
products cannot run concurrently on your system.
The following message shows an upgrade from DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS
VAX to Compaq DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS VAX:
* Do you want to install DECnet-Plus? (Y/N) y
DECnet Phase IV is intalled on your system.
Before installing DECnet-Plus, you must remove DECnet Phase IV.
