If you have upgraded your operating system, register any new OpenVMS or layered product
licenses. Note that licensing schemes differ between OpenVMS Alpha and Integrity server
systems. For OpenVMS Integrity server systems, a single OE license grants the right to use all
the components bundled in the purchased OE. Each OE is offered with Per Core Licenses (PCLs).
For information about registering licenses, see the following documents:
• HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual
• HP OpenVMS Version 8.4 Release Notes
• For OpenVMS Integrity server systems, the HP Operating Environments for OpenVMS for
Integrity Servers Software Product Description (SPD 82.34.xx).
To register licenses, use the OpenVMS License utility as follows:
1. Start the OpenVMS License utility by entering the following command at the OpenVMS
system prompt. (You can also use the LICENSE REGISTER command.)
$ @SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE
2. The utility displays a menu screen similar to the following. Select the REGISTER option
(press Enter or enter 1 at the prompt), and enter each license key until you have successfully
registered all required PAKs.

7.4 Set System Parameters for Volume Shadowing (Optional)
If you plan to form a shadowed system disk, you must add system parameters to the
SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT file. Add the following lines to the bottom of the
MODPARAMS.DAT file:
SHADOWING=2 !Enable volume shadowing
SHADOW_SYS_DISK=1 !Enable shadowing of the system disk
SHADOW_SYS_UNIT=n !Optional: default is 0, which creates DSA0
SHADOW_MAX_COPY=4 !Allow up to 4 shadow copies or merges going on at the same time
ALLOCLASS=x !This number must be non-zero;
!it must be used if local non-FC devices are going to be
!shadow set members
If a nonzero ALLOCLASS value is already in use for your system, do not change the ALLOCLASS
value. For more information about these and other system parameters you can set for volume
