10.1 Using VMSTAILOR
10.1.2 Removing OpenVMS VAX Files
To remove unwanted files using VMSTAILOR, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
2. Enter the following command and press Return:
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:VMSTAILOR
VMSTAILOR displays a description of the VMSTAILOR program and the
following message:
Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"?
3. Enter OFF to remove unwanted files and press Return.
The VMSTAILOR program lists each group, or class, of files and its size in
blocks. Files are grouped according to their function. For example, all the
files required for network support are in one class. A file class is made up of
many smaller groups called subclasses. You can eliminate an entire class of
files, or you can eliminate one or more of its subclasses. For example:
CLASS - Network support
Size of entire class (with subclasses): 1499
Size of common files required for any subclass: 1249
Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)?
.
.
.
4. Decide which file classes or subclasses you do not need to support your
system. The VMSTAILOR program displays step-by-step instructions. Follow
these instructions to specify which classes or subclasses of files you want to
remove.
5. VMSTAILOR deletes the files you selected and displays the names of
those files. After it finishes, AUTOGEN runs automatically to make the
adjustments that are necessary after system files are deleted. AUTOGEN
also reboots the system.
Caution
To cancel VMSTAILOR during the first and second phases, press Ctrl/C,
Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. Canceling VMSTAILOR during the third phase can cause
a partially tailored disk.
For a description of each phase, see Section 10.1.1.
10.1.3 Adding OpenVMS VAX Files
To add optional OpenVMS VAX files that you previously removed, or that you
chose not to install during the OpenVMS VAX installation procedure, do the
following:
1. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
2. Load your distribution media in a drive available to the system. For example,
if your distribution media is on a TK50 tape cartridge, load the first tape
cartridge in a TK50 drive that is available to the system. Make sure the drive
is on line and ready.
