If your distribution media is magnetic tape or tape cartridges, the procedure

have been successfully installed:
You can now remove the distribution kit from MKB500:.
Remove the distribution media from the drive.
If your distribution media is compact disc, leave it in the drive.
3.4 Configuring a Cluster
The installation procedure now displays information about cluster configuration.
But, because there is no network present on the system at this point in the
procedure, no cluster configuration work can actually be performed at this time.
In an OpenVMS Cluster, you can run multiple systems sharing all files
except PAGEFILE.SYS, SWAPFILE.SYS, SYSDUMP.DMP, and VAXVMSSYS.PAR.
Cluster configuration cannot be done at this time because no network
is present. In order to configure a cluster, you must FIRST do one
or both of the following:
o Install DECnet-Plus (or DECnet Phase IV), or
o Execute SYS$STARTUP:LAN$STARTUP.COM by removing the
comment delimiter ("!") from the line
