You can install the following products along with the OpenVMS
operating system:
o DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha
o DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Alpha
o DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS Alpha
o Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
If you want to change your selections, you can do so later in the
installation by answering "NO" to the following question:
"Do you want the defaults for all options?"
Do you want to install DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha V1.2-6?
(Yes/No) [YES]
Beginning with OpenVMS V7.1, the DECnet-Plus kit is provided with
the OpenVMS operating system kit. Compaq strongly recommends that
DECnet users install DECnet-Plus. DECnet Phase IV applications are
supported by DECnet-Plus.
DECnet Phase IV is also provided as an option. Support for DECnet
Phase IV is available through a Prior Version Support Contract.
If you install DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP you can run DECnet
applications over a TCP/IP network. Please see the OpenVMS
Management Guide for information on running DECnet over TCP/IP.
Do you want to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Alpha V7.3-1?
(Yes/No) [YES]
Do you want to install Compaq TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS V5.3-18?
(Yes/No) [YES]
For your system to operate properly, you must set two parameters:
SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID.
SCSNODE can be from 1 to 6 letters or numbers. It must contain at
least one letter.
If you plan to use DECnet, SCSNODE must be the DECnet Phase IV
node name, or the DECnet-Plus (Phase V) node synonym.
If you have multiple OpenVMS systems, the SCSNODE on each system
must be unique.
Enter SCSNODE: DARSYS
If you plan to use DECnet, SCSSYSTEMID must be set based on the
DECnet Phase IV address.
DECnet Phase IV addresses are in the format
DECnet_area_number.DECnet_node_number
DECnet_area_number is a number between 1 and 63.
DECnet_node_number is a number 1 and 1023.
If you plan to use DECnet WITHOUT Phase IV compatible addresses,
enter 0.0.
Enter DECnet (Phase IV) Address [1.1]: 63.1
SCSSYSTEMID will be set to 64513.
This was calculated as follows:
(DECnet_area_number * 1024) + DECnet_node_number

Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)
Default Time Differential Factor is -0:00.
The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your
system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar
in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered
in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative
(-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.).
Enter the Time Differential Factor [-0:00]:

DEC AXPVMS DWMOTIF V1.2-6: DECwindows Motif
Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Version 1.2-6 is based on
Release 5 (R5) of the MIT X11 Window System and OSF/Motif
Version 1.2.3.
DECwindows Motif V1.2-6 provides both runtime support and development
support for the X Window system. Runtime and development support is

Hello,
This is a known issue. One we've been hunting for, but it's still unclear to us what causes this. It doesn't happen always. When it does happen, reply "NO" to the question, and the installation often will be fine.
Camiel.
Thanks for this quick answer
