6. Because the PRODUCT REMOVE command does not delete certain files, review the target
disk to determine whether you want to delete, move, or archive the operating system files
that still remain on the disk.
Following are lists of the files that the PRODUCT REMOVE command does not delete:
•
In target-disk:[SYS*.SYSEXE], where * is the hexadecimal number of any additional
OpenVMS Cluster root on the target disk:
— IA64VMSSYS.PAR (OpenVMS Integrity server systems)
— ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR (OpenVMS Alpha systems)
— MODPARAMS.DAT
— PAGEFILE.SYS
— SWAPFILE.SYS
• In target-disk:[VMS$COMMON.SYSEXE]:
— LMF$LICENSE.LDB
— PCSI$FILE_SYSTEM.PCSI$DATABASE
— PCSI$PROCESSOR.PCSI$DATABASE
— PCSI$ROOT.PCSI$DATABASE
— RIGHTSLIST.DAT
— SYSUAF.DAT
As you examine the preceding lists of files, you might want to archive, rather than delete,
the following files:
•
IA64VMSSYS.PAR (OpenVMS Integrity server systems)
• ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR (OpenVMS Alpha systems)
• MODPARAMS.DAT
• LMF$LICENSE.LDB
• RIGHTSLIST.DAT
• SYSUAF.DAT
Also, if you previously removed layered products, those products might have created
additional files that you might want to delete, move, or archive.
7. Review the target disk for the directory structures [VMS$COMMON...] and [SYSx...] that
remain after you remove the OpenVMS operating system. You might want to delete these
directories.
The directories [SYSx]SYSCOMMON.DIR (in all [SYSx]) are aliases for the file
[000000]VMS$COMMON.DIR. Do not delete these SYSCOMMON.DIR files. Instead, use
the SET FILE /REMOVE command as follows:
$ SET FILE /REMOVE [SYS*]SYSCOMMON.DIR
After you execute this command and delete, move or archive all the files in
[VMS$COMMON...], you can delete [000000]VMS$COMMON.DIR. Then you can delete,
move, or archive the files in each [SYSx] directory.
