1.3 Locating Files on the Distribution Media
The CD–ROM is labeled similar to the following:
CD–ROM Label: OpenVMS VAX Version 7.3
Volume Label: VAXVMS073
Note
The volume label is the machine-readable name that the OpenVMS VAX
operating system and InfoServer systems use to access the CD–ROM.
1.3.2 On Magnetic Tape or Tape Cartridges
The OpenVMS VAX Version 7.3 kit is available on two, 6250 BPI, open reel
magnetic tapes or on two TK50 CompacTape cartridges. (Earlier versions of
OpenVMS VAX shipped on four magnetic tapes.)
The first tape or cartridge contains the VMS073.A, VMS073.B, and VMS073.C
save sets. The second tape or cartridge contains standalone BACKUP (TK50 tape
cartridge only), the VMS073.D, VMS073.E, and VMS073.F save sets, and the
DECW073.C, DECV073.D, DECW073.E, and DECW073.F save sets.
Note
Standalone BACKUP is not available on open reel magnetic tape. If you
are installing from magnetic tape and want to use standalone BACKUP,
you must boot standalone BACKUP from another media.
1.3.3 DECamds Files
The DECamds software is included on the OpenVMS VAX distribution media.
The DECamds kit is located on the second magnetic tape or TK50 CompacTape
cartridge, and on the Layered Products CD-ROM.
1.3.4 Software Product Descriptions (SPDs)
If your distribution kit is on compact disc, the SPD files are located in the
[DOCUMENTATION.V073] directory. For information about locating and printing
these SPD files, refer to the Guide to OpenVMS Version 7.3 CD–ROMs.
The following SPD files are located on the second TK50 CompacTape cartridge
and the second magnetic tape. These SPD files have been grouped into an
OpenVMS BACKUP save set named VMS073_SPD.BCK. File names with the .PS
