Use the checklist in Table 3-1 “Installation Checklist” to ensure that you perform all necessary installation tasks. For most of the installation tasks, the information provided is common (with minor exceptions) to both the OpenVMS Alpha and I64 operating systems. Where the tasks are significantly unique for each operating system and, therefore, documented separately, this table identifies each subsection for the task specific to each operating system.
