    The type of operation to perform. May be one of ADD, CREATE,

4  –  Description 

    The PMDF INSTALL utility is used to install or deinstall PMDF
    images. This utility invokes the command file IMAGE_INSTALL.COM
    with a command of the form

    $ @PMDF_COM:image_install.com PMDF operation-type

    where OPERATION-TYPE is one of ADD, CREATE, DELETE, LIST, REMOVE,
    or REPLACE. Each of these operations corresponds to the OpenVMS
    INSTALL utility operation of the same name; consult the OpenVMS
    Install Utility Reference Manual for descriptions of these
    operations. IMAGE_INSTALL.COM invokes the OpenVMS INSTALL utility
    and executes the operation OPERATION-TYPE for each file specified
    in the the file PMDFIMAGE.DAT in the PMDF_COM: directory.
    (Exclamation marks are used in that file to introduce comments.)

    The PMDFIMAGE.DAT file is reserved for PMDF use and should
    not be modified. PMDF INSTALL will also use an optional, site-
    supplied PMDF_COM:SITEIMAGE.DAT file, of the same format as the
    PMDFIMAGE.DAT file, listing additional site-specific files. Thus
    sites that want to install additional, site-specific PMDF images,
    should do so by adding them to their own SITEIMAGE.DAT file.

    Note that the PMDF startup procedure installs PMDF at system
    startup by issuing the command

    $ @PMDF_COM:image_install.com PMDF CREATE

    The PMDF INSTALL command is not used by the startup procedure
    since not all sites insert the PMDF verb into their system DCL
    tables.

    CMKRNL privilege is required to use the PMDF INSTALL utility.

5  –  Examples 

      The following command may be used to deinstall any installed
      PMDF images:

        $ PMDF INSTALL DELETE
