Using VMSTAILOR and DECW$TAILOR
This chapter describes how to add (tailor on) or remove (tailor off) optional
OpenVMS VAX files and DECwindows support files from your system disk using
VMSTAILOR and DECW$TAILOR. You will need your OpenVMS VAX software
media kit to tailor on files. Any site-specific customization that has been done to
a class will be lost when that class is tailored off.
10.1 Using VMSTAILOR
To add or remove unwanted OpenVMS VAX files from the system disk, use
VMSTAILOR. For example, if you are not running DECnet for OpenVMS, and
you do not need the network support files, you can remove those files using
VMSTAILOR. If you later decide you want to run DECnet for OpenVMS, you
can add the necessary files at any time using VMSTAILOR and your OpenVMS
VAX distribution media. (Note that you cannot tailor files on or off an alternate
device.)
10.1.1 How VMSTAILOR Works
VMSTAILOR has three phases:
1. VMSTAILOR asks if you want to tailor your system by adding files (tailor on)
or by deleting files (tailor off).
2. If you choose to tailor files on, VMSTAILOR lists each class of OpenVMS VAX
files and asks if you want to include them on the system disk. If you choose
to tailor files off, VMSTAILOR lists each class of files and asks if you want to
delete them from the system disk.
3. VMSTAILOR adds or deletes the files you indicated from the system disk.
If you are tailoring files on, you must load your OpenVMS VAX distribution
media in a drive available to the system. If your distribution media consists
of more than one piece, put the first piece of the media into the drive.
The following is a list of classes and subclasses of OpenVMS VAX files that can
be added or deleted by using VMSTAILOR. For a complete list of OpenVMS
VAX files and their functions, refer to the OpenVMS System Manager’s Manual,
Volume 2: Tuning, Monitoring, and Complex Systems.
