Preface

Objective
This guide provides a task-oriented procedure for RSTS/E system installation and

update.

Audience
The audience for this guide includes:

Anyone installing RSTS/E for the first time

®*

Anyone upgrading to RSTS/E V9.7 from a pre-V9.0 version of RSTS/E

Anyone updating an existing RSTS/E V9.0 through V9.6 system

Anyone performing an online or partial system installation

In addition, Part 5 of this guide provides reference material on all the INIT.SYS
options and suboptions. System managers will find this section useful for system
tuning.

Document Structure
The guide is divided into six parts:
Part 1

Tells how to build a new RSTS/E system. It is divided into seven phases
plus one optional phase, each consisting of one or more tasks. A summary of the installation procedure is printed at the end of Part 1.

Part 2

Explains how to perform a system installation to upgrade an existing
pre-V9.0 RSTS/E system to V9.7.

Part 3

Explains how to perform an online system installation to create a new
monitor, install system programs, or perform a full installation.

Part 4

Explains how to update an existing V9.0 through V9.8 system to a new
release. It is divided into five phases plus one optional phase, each
consisting of one or more tasks.

Part 5

Is a reference section that describes the INIT.SYS offline options.

Appendixes

Appendixes A through F contain supplemental information that you may
need for your particular installation.

Explanation—You see these messages if your new monitor is an acceptable size

Go to Task 3.

Task 3: Install System Programs from the Installation Media

The system now installs the system programs according to the instructions

you gave in Phase 4. First, the system transfers the remaining files from the
Installation tape or disk. The system also transfers any layered product updates

you specified in Phase 4. This task should take fifteen to twenty minutes,
depending on the size of the installation.

The system installs each package at the location pointed to by its associated
logical name. If the program finds no associated logical name, it installs the
package at the default location. This is the case in a new installation.
Table 6 lists the logical names and default locations for each package.

Restoring the xxxxxx package from the Installation kit
There are no updates for the xxxxxx package

Explanation—The system now installs the system programs. First it installs
updates for the three packages that are automatically installed on all systems:
System Startup, System Library, and Error. Then, as the system installs each

optional package, it prints one of the above messages. In both messages, xxxxxx

is the name of the specific software package.

Generate RSTS/E System

In the example installation, the system prints the following messages. The
messages for your installation may vary depending on how you answered the
system program questions in Phase 4.

After the system completes the system program file transfers, it restores the
layered product updates you specified in Phase 4. As the system transfers each
layered product update, it prints the message:

you to edit to create START.COM and LOGIN.COM for your system as directed
in Phase 6.

You see this message only when your system already has a version of
START.COM and LOGIN.COM. Otherwise, the procedure renames START.097
and LOGIN.097 to START.COM and LOGIN.COM.

Installing system packages

Explanation— The system now begins installing the system packages.

If you specified BASIC-PLUS as one of the packages to install, then go to Task 4A
for a complete description of the BASIC-PLUS dialogue and return to this point.
Otherwise, continue with this task. The example installation does not plan to
install BASIC-PLUS.

If you are not installing BASIC-PLUS but you want to install SORT/MERGE,
then go to Task 4B for a complete description of the SORT/MERGE dialogue and
return to this point. Otherwise, continue with this task. The example installation
does not plan to install SORT/MERGE.

Re-creating CRASH.SYS file with minimum size of 380 blocks

Explanation—INIT.SYS starts the currently installed monitor, RSTS97.SIL, and
starts timesharing under it.

Generate RSTS/E System

The procedure then prints the current memory allocation table and checks that

the CRASH.SYS file exists in account [0,1] on the system disk, is large enough
for the installed RSTS/E monitor and extended buffer pool allocation, and is
contiguous.
