The system next runs AUTOGEN to evaluate your hardware configuration
and estimate typical work loads. AUTOGEN then sets system parameters,
the sizes of page, swap, and dump files, and the contents of VMSIMAGES.DAT.
When AUTOGEN finishes and you reboot your system, the installation
procedure is complete.
The installation procedure displays messages similar to the
following:
AUTOGEN will now be run to compute the new SYSGEN parameters. The system
will then shut down and reboot, and the installation or upgrade will be
complete.
After rebooting you can continue with such system management tasks as:
Decompressing the System Libraries
Configuring DECnet
Using SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM to create an OpenVMS Cluster
Creating FIELD, SYSTEST, and SYSTEST_CLIG accounts if needed

Automatic Reboot
after AUTOGEN
After AUTOGEN finishes, the system automatically reboots, displaying
messages similar to the following:
The system is shutting down to allow the system to boot with the
generated site-specific parameters and installed images.
The system will automatically reboot after the shutdown and the
installation will be complete.
SHUTDOWN -- Perform an Orderly System Shutdown
on node ALPCSI
%SHUTDOWN-I-BOOTCHECK, performing reboot consistency check...
%SHUTDOWN-I-CHECKOK, basic reboot consistency check completed
.
.
.
Manual Reboot after
AUTOGEN
If the system does not reboot automatically, reboot the system
manually.
For example, if the system disk is on an RZ25 disk drive with
a unit number of 1, enter the following command and press the Return
key:
>>>BOOT DKA1
When the system starts booting, a message similar to the following
is displayed:
OpenVMS (TM) Alpha Operating System, Version 7.3-2

%STDRV-I-STARTUP, OpenVMS startup begun at 27-MAY-2003 14:50:18.35
.
.
.
The system next displays informational messages and accounting
information indicating that your OpenVMS Alpha operating system
has finished booting and is now ready for use. For example:
%SET-I-INTSET, login interactive limit = 64, current interactive value = 0
SYSTEM job terminated at 27-MAY-2003 14:51:23.47
Accounting information:
Buffered I/O count: 2177 Peak working set size: 6848

Charged CPU time: 0 00:00:13.37 Elapsed time: 0 00:01:06.20
At this time, you can log in to the SYSTEM account (so you
can perform postinstallation tasks), as described in the following
sections.
