Will re-installing the Alarms FM break anything if it's already
installed on the system? In other words, if there are alarm rules
already in a database somewhere, will re-installing the ALARMS FM screw
anything up (like deleting them).
I'm doing the kits for the 1.2 release of DECmcc ELM. Alarms and PA
will be installed with our AM kit (if the base system is the MCC
Director). To make my job easier, I wanted to know if I could always
install PA and Alarms no matter if it's already there (DECmcc BMS is
the base system). Will I break anything if I do?

What do you mean by "install"? Since alarms doesn't have its own
kit I assume you simply mean putting the image in the right
directory and enrolling it? Or do you mean install in the VMS known
image sense?
In any case when alarms is enrolled it will only recreate its rules
database if it doesn't already exist, so you probably don't need to
worry.

Both. If the customer has the MCC Director and installs [ooops,
there's that word again :-)] the DECmcc ELM AM kit, we have to give
them PA and ALARMS along with the bridge, concentrator and FDDI station
AM's.
For kitting I assume I need to do all of these things:
Put all the image and non-image files where they belong. (Using the VMS
INSTALL/REPLACE command to add the image to SYS$SHARE).
Update the dictionary with the necessary information.
Enroll the management module.

Great. That's what I wanted to know.
