[foxboro] Commit procedure after initial install

Hi All,

  I added a few FBMs using sysdef (on a NT workstation), created a commit
disk, and started the "Install_AW" on an AW51E.

  The AW51E was not the host of the new FBMs, but I ran the commit on it
first as a test case.

  I choose "bypass" for each of the previously installed packages and did
not get any errors in the install logs.

  I then did a remote install to the host AW51B for the new FBMs and also
choose "bypass" for each of the previously installed packages.

  I have the following warning in the installation log:

16:30 ------ OS6AW1 Running Post-Process Script. . .Warning

and the following in the package init log:

/opt/fox/OS6AW1/install/post_S6AW1: /opt/fox/ADMON/install/bld_dmf: not
found
Creating Device Monitor Configuration File ... FAILURE
Edit of OS config file ... Done
Checking for patches to install ...
done

  I tried a remote install on another AW51B with the same warning and devmon
file failure, so I did a local install on it and got the exact same warning.

  The directory /opt/fox/ADMON/install/ does not exist on the first AW51E,
and only contains the file "request" on the two AW51Bs that gave me the
warnings.  The request file contains the timestamp from the last major
upgrade in 2001.

  A quick review of the logs from previous installs show the same devmon
file failure has happened on some of my other AWs in the past.

  Is it something serious or benign?

  What is the right procedure for running the commit disk through all of the
AWs & WPs in the plant?  

  Should I be clicking on the "bypass" option for previously installed
packages or re-install them each time I run the commit disk?

  Should I even be trying to do remote installs?

  The sysdef and the software installation manuals don't seem to address
minor changes - only day 0 installs.

  I am running IA version 6.1 with a mix of AW51Bs, WP51Bs, and two AW51Es.

  Thanks for any tips,

Steve Murray
