After Installing the OpenVMS VAX Operating
System
After you have installed the OpenVMS VAX operating system, you need to
perform several important tasks to prepare the system for operation. This
chapter describes the following postinstallation tasks in the order you perform
them:
• Verifying system time
• Registering licenses
• Backing up your system disk
• Customizing your system
• Configuring and starting networking software
• Testing the system
• Decompressing system libraries
• Removing unwanted files
• Installing layered products
• Backing up the customized system disk
• Running AUTOGEN
• Completing the postinstallation checklist
If you are an experienced system manager, you can use the checklist at the end of
the chapter to complete the necessary postinstallation tasks.
If you are a system manager with less OpenVMS VAX experience, you should
read the entire chapter and then use the checklist to make sure you have
completed all the postinstallation tasks.
4.1 Verifying System Time
During the installation, the procedure prompted you to enter the date and time.
Now that you have installed your system, verify that the system time is correct
by entering the following command:
$ SHOW TIME
The system displays the date and time. If the time is not correct, reset it by
entering the command SET TIME using the following format:
SET TIME=dd-mmm-yyyy:hh:mm:ss
For example:
$ SET TIME=27-MAY-2000:18:35:30
