The initial display from the procedure also includes information
about how to respond to prompts (as documented in detail in
Responding to Prompts During the Installation):
***********************************************************
The installation procedure will ask a series of questions.
() - encloses acceptable answers
[] - encloses default answers
Type your response and press the <Return>key. Type:
? - to repeat an explanation
^ - to change prior input (not always possible)
Ctrl/Y - to exit the installation procedure
- Create the
System Disk: The procedure allows you to begin creating
the system disk. First it displays the following information followed
by the prompt asking whether you want to initialize or preserve
the disk:
There are two choices for Installation/Upgrade:
INITIALIZE - Removes all software and data files that were
previously on the target disk and installs OpenVMS I64.
PRESERVE -- Installs or upgrades OpenVMS I64 on the target disk
and retains all other contents of the target disk.
* NOTE: You cannot use preserve to install OpenVMS I64 on a disk on
which any other operating system is installed. This includes
implementations of OpenVMS for other architectures.
Do you want to INITIALIZE or to PRESERVE? [PRESERVE]
Respond to the INITIALIZE or PRESERVE prompt as follows:
|
IF
... |
THEN ... |
Your system disk is new
|
Enter
INITIALIZE and press Enter (or Return).
|
You want to remove all files from an existing
system disk
|
Enter
INITIALIZE and press Enter (or Return).
|
You
want to retain certain files on an existing disk
|
Press Enter
(or Return) to accept the default (PRESERVE).
|
 | During initialization of an OpenVMS I64 target system
disk, the installation process creates a diagnostic partition, visible
only at the console prompt. For more information about this partition
and the options you can take, refer to
Alternative Ways to Initialize the System Disk. The installation procedure initializes the target disk with
volume expansion (INITIALIZE/LIMIT). This renders the disk incompatible
with versions of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2. In most cases, this
does not present a problem. However, if you intend to mount the
new disk on a version of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2, you must
perform the alternate method of initialization described in
Alternative Ways to Initialize the System Disk. Note that as a result
of this alternate method, your new system disk might include a
relatively large minimum allocation size (as defined by /CLUSTER_SIZE).
As a result, small files use more space than necessary. Therefore,
perform these steps only for system disks that
must be mounted on versions of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2. |
- Specify the System Disk (Target Disk):
The procedure next asks you for the name of the target disk. If
you do not know the name of the disk, enter a question mark (?).
The system displays a list of devices on your system. Select the
appropriate disk and respond to the prompt. For example:
You must enter the device name for the target disk on which
OpenVMS I64 will be installed.
Enter device name for target disk: (? for choices) DKB400
If this is the first installation on this system, no default
device is indicated, as in this example. A default device name
is listed if this is not the first installation (for example, [DKB400]
or, for a Fibre Channel disk device, [$1$DGA567]).
If you select a device that is not available or that cannot
be used for some other reason, the system displays information indicating
why the device cannot be used. For example, if you enter MKA500,
a tape device, a message similar to the following is displayed: MKA500 is not a disk device
- Specify the Volume Label:
If you select a device that can be used, the system then informs
you of the volume label currently assigned to this device and asks
whether you want to keep that label. If you choose not to keep
that label, you are prompted for a new label, as shown in the following
example. The OpenVMS operating system uses the volume label to
identify and reference the disk. Make sure the label you use is
unique; problems occur if the same label is used by different disk
volumes.
DKB400: is now labeled V82_nnn.
Do you want to keep this label? (Yes/No) [Yes] NO
Enter volume label for target system disk: [I64SYS] I64821B
You can keep the label already assigned to the disk, accept
the default label assigned by the system (for I64 systems, I64SYS),
or specify a different volume label (with a limit of 12 characters
that can include A to Z, 0 through 9, the dollar sign ($), hyphen
(-), and underscore (_) characters).
| HP strongly recommends that the volume labels for all
disks on your system or OpenVMS Cluster have unique labels. If
a disk having the same label as the system disk is mounted, various
OpenVMS components do not function as intended. |
- Specify On-Disk Structure Level:
After you enter the volume label for the target system disk, you
are asked whether you want to initialize the target system disk
with On-Disk Structure Level 2 (ODS-2) or Level 5 (ODS-5). If you
selected PRESERVE instead of INITIALIZE, you are not asked about
the on-disk structure level.
The target system disk can be initialized with On-Disk Structure
Level 2 (ODS-2) or Level 5 (ODS-5). (? for more information)
Do you want to initialize with ODS-2 or ODS-5? (2/5/?) For details about ODS-2 and ODS-5 file systems, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
.
A brief summary follows:- ODS-2
ODS-2 allows for full compatibility with all OpenVMS VAX systems
and with OpenVMS Alpha systems prior to Version 7.2.
- ODS-5
 | | ODS-5 supports file names that are
longer, have a wider range of legal characters, and allow for mixed-case
file names. This feature permits use of file names similar to those
in a Microsoft Windows or UNIX® environment. |
| | ODS-5 supports hard links to files, access dates,
and files whose names differ only by case. |
| | ODS-5 volumes cannot be mounted on any version of
OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2. |
| | Systems running OpenVMS VAX Version 7.2 and higher
can mount ODS-5 volumes, but cannot create or access files having
extended names. (Lowercase file names are seen in uppercase on OpenVMS
VAX systems.) |
Select ODS-2 or ODS-5 by entering 2 or 5 at the prompt.
- Enable Hard Links if Desired (ODS-5 Only):
If you selected ODS-5, the procedure asks whether you want to enable
hard links (if you selected ODS-2, skip to the next step). Enter
YES or NO to indicate your choice.
Hard links can be enabled on ODS-5 disks. (? for more information)
Do you want to enable hard links? (Yes/No/?) YES
Both ODS-2 and ODS-5 support aliases, which are additional
names for a file or directory. Only ODS-5 supports hard links.
One of the main differences with hard links enabled is the way
the DCL DELETE command works. With hard links enabled, if you issue
the DELETE command to delete a file that has one or more aliases
associated with it, the command only deletes the alias by which
the file is being accessed. The actual file continues to exist
and is accessible by any remaining alias. The file is deleted only
when the last remaining alias is deleted. Without hard links enabled,
the DELETE command deletes both the alias by which the file is
being accessed and the file itself. Any other aliases remain but the
file is no longer accessible because it is no longer present. Thus,
the remaining aliases are unusable. If enabling hard links has
any drawbacks, they are minor and probably of concern only in rare circumstances.
For example, if disk quotas are in effect, though owners of a file
can delete any links to a file in a directory they can access, hard
links in other users' directories might cause a file to
be retained, and the file size continues to be charged against that
owner's disk quota.
In general, be aware that enabling hard links does change
the file system's behavior and that applications and management
practices should respond accordingly (instead of being alias-specific,
for example).
For more information about hard links, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
.
- Confirm Target System
Disk Choices: The procedure displays your target system
disk choices, and you are asked to confirm that they are correct.
In the following example, the choices made were to initialize the
disk with ODS-5 and with hard links. The volume label is I64821B.
You have chosen to install OpenVMS I64 on a new disk.
The target system disk, DKB400:, will be initialized
with structure level 5 (ODS-5).
Hard links WILL be enabled.
It will be labeled I64821B.
Any data currently on the target system disk will be lost.
Is this OK? (Yes/No) YES
Initializing and mounting target....
Creating page and swap files....
- Specify SYSTEM Account Information (Initialized
Disks Only): If you are initializing the target disk,
you are prompted for SYSTEM account information. Before you respond
to the system prompt asking you to enter a password for the SYSTEM
account, note the following:
- Passwords must be at least 8 characters
in length (but not exceeding 31 characters). Valid characters for
the password include A through Z, 0 through 9, the dollar sign ($),
and underscore (_). Passwords must contain at least one alphabetic
character (A through Z). The system converts all characters to uppercase,
so the case of characters you enter is insignificant.
- Press Enter (or Return) after you enter the password.
(The password does not display as you type it.)
- After you enter the password, the procedure checks
to make sure it meets the requirements for a valid password.
- Reenter the password for verification.
The following is a sample display: You must enter a password for the SYSTEM account.
The password must be a minimum of 8 characters in length,
and may not exceed 31 characters. It will be checked and verified.
The system will not accept passwords that can be guessed easily.
The password will not be displayed as you enter it.
Password for SYSTEM account:
Re-enter SYSTEM password for verification:If you reenter the password incorrectly or if the system determines
that the password is too easy for another user to guess, the system
displays an error message and allows you to specify a valid password.
- Declare OpenVMS Cluster Membership:
The procedure now asks whether your system will be part of an OpenVMS
Cluster. The display is similar to the following:
Will this system be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster? (Yes/No)
You should answer YES if the system will be a member of an
OpenVMS Cluster. Answering YES to this question causes SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM
to run automatically when your newly installed system is first booted.
The CLUSTER_CONFIG procedure asks a series of questions about the cluster.
Your response to this question determines how the VAXCLUSTER system
parameter is set (the VAXCLUSTER system parameter is set for OpenVMS
I64 systems as well as Alpha and VAX systems; it is not specific
to OpenVMS VAX systems). For more information, refer to the Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations
manual.
If you answer YES to the cluster question, the display is
similar to the following: When your new system is first booted you will be required to answer
additional questions in order to configure the OpenVMS Cluster.
If you answer NO to the cluster question, the system can still
be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster. However, in this case you must
explicitly configure the node into the cluster after the installation
is completed. For more information, refer to
Joining an OpenVMS Cluster.
For detailed information about cluster configuration, refer
to the HP OpenVMS Cluster Systems
manual.
- Set SCSNODE System
Parameter: The system now asks you to specify a value
for the first of two system parameters, the SCSNODE parameter.
(Step 11 describes the output and prompts for the second system
parameter, SCSSYSTEMID.) SCSNODE is a name that can be from one
to six letters or numbers; it must include at least one letter.
If this system is part of an OpenVMS Cluster, SCSNODE must be unique
within the cluster. If you are using DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS
or DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS with DECnet Phase IV addresses, then
SCSNODE must be the same as your DECnet node name.
The following is an example of the display and a valid
response: For your system to operate properly, you must set two parameters:
SCSNODE and SCSSYSTEMID.
SCSNODE can be from 1 to 6 letters or numbers. It must contain at
least one letter.
If you plan to use DECnet, SCSNODE must be the DECnet Phase IV
node name, or the DECnet-Plus (Phase V) node synonym.
If you have multiple OpenVMS systems, the SCSNODE on each system
must be unique.
Enter SCSNODE: I64CSI
- Declare
Use of DECnet; Setting SCSSYSTEMID System Parameter:
The next prompt asks whether you plan to use DECnet. It also informs
you that the SCSYSYSTEMID system parameter is based on the DECnet
Phase IV address. SCSSYSTEMID must also be unique within an OpenVMS Cluster.
If you plan to use DECnet, SCSSYSTEMID must be set based on the
DECnet Phase IV address.
Do you plan to use DECnet (Y/N) [YES]:YES
If you answer YES, the information about the DECnet Phase
IV addresses is displayed along with a prompt for a DECnet Phase
IV address. Enter a valid DECnet Phase IV address, as in the following example.
DECnet Phase IV addresses are in the format
DECnet_area_number.DECnet_node_number
DECnet_area_number is a number between 1 and 63.
DECnet_node_number is a number between 1 and 1023.
If you plan to use DECnet WITHOUT Phase IV compatible addresses,
enter 0.0.
Enter DECnet (Phase IV) Address [1.1]: 63.180
A display such as the following informs you of the value assigned
to SCSSYSTEMID: SCSSYSTEMID will be set to 64692.
This was calculated as follows:
(DECnet_area_number * 1024) + DECnet_node_number
If you are not using DECnet, or if you enter 0.0 as the DECnet
Phase IV address, you are prompted to enter a SCSSSYSTEMID in the
range of 1 to 65535. If this is a standalone system,
the default of 65534 is acceptable. However, if this system is
part of an OpenVMS Cluster, you must enter a SCSSYSTEMID that is
unique within the cluster. The following is a sample display: The system cannot calculate SCSSYSTEMID from an address that is not
compatible with DECnet Phase-IV.
You will have to choose a value for SCSSYSTEMID.
If you plan to use LAT software, you may have to add /NODECNET to any
CREATE LINK commands in SYS$MANAGER:LATSYSTARTUP.COM.
Please choose a SCSSYSTEMID between 1 and 65535. If you have multiple
OpenVMS systems, the SCSSYSTEMID on each system must be unique.
Enter SCSYSTEMID [65535]: 12345
- Set Local Time Zone: Now
the system asks you to configure the local time zone. For local
time zone support to work correctly, the installation procedure
must set the time zone that accurately describes the location you
want to be your default time zone. Usually, this is the time zone
in which your system is running. In addition, the system asks you
to set the OpenVMS time differential factor (TDF).
The procedure displays the main time zone menu. You can select
the time zone in either of two ways: - Select the number in the main time zone menu
that best represents the time zone desired. (If multiple time zones
exist for the selection you make, you must select the exact time
zone from another menu.)
- Use a search option that
allows you to bypass the time zone menu and search by name (partial
or full).
If you select one of
the numbers in the time zone menu, the corresponding time zone is
selected. At any prompt, you can enter a question mark (?) for
help information.
| An asterisk (*) next to a number indicates
that more than one time zone exists for that selection. If you
select such a number, an additional menu displays choices that
allow you to select the appropriate time zone. For example, if
you choose the United States (US) time zone from the main time zone
menu, a second menu displays the specific time zones within the
United States. |
The following example shows how you would select the Eastern
time zone for the United States by using the menu number: Configuring the Local Time Zone

To use the search option instead of menu numbers to select
the time zone, enter an equals sign (=) at the menu prompt instead
of a number. You can enter one or more words or partial words immediately
after the equals string, or you can enter the equals sign alone,
in which case the procedure prompts you for the words or partial
words of the time zone you want to select. After you enter that
information, the procedure displays all matching time zones, and
you can then select the appropriate one.

Is this correct? (Yes/No) [YES]:
The procedure then prompts you for the TDF.
For more information about local time zone support, refer
to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
.
- Set Time Differential Factor (TDF):
The procedure now provides information about and prompts you to
enter the time differential factor (TDF). The TDF is the difference
between your system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which
is an international standard (similar to Greenwich Mean Time) for
measuring time of day. The procedure supplies a default for TDF,
which is generally the correct response. The procedure also asks
whether the system's time zone supports daylight saving
time. The following example shows TDF information and prompts displayed
by the procedure:
Configuring the Time Differential Factor (TDF)
Default Time Differential Factor for standard time is -5:00.
Default Time Differential Factor for daylight saving time is -4:00.
The Time Differential Factor (TDF) is the difference between your
system time and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). UTC is similar
in most respects to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
The TDF is expressed as hours and minutes, and should be entered
in the hh:mm format. TDFs for the Americas will be negative
(-3:00, -4:00, etc.); TDFs for Europe, Africa, Asia and Australia
will be positive (1:00, 2:00, etc.).
This time zone supports daylight saving time.
Is this time zone currently on daylight saving time? (Yes/No): Y
Enter the Time Differential Factor [-4:00]:
NEW SYSTEM TIME DIFFERENTIAL FACTOR = -4:00
Is this correct? [Y]:
For more information about TDF support, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
.
- Register Licenses (Optional at this time):
After setting the TDF, the system asks whether you want to register
any Product Authorization Keys (PAKs), as in the following display:
If you have Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) to register,
you can register them now.
Do you want to register any Product Authorization Keys? (Yes/No) [Yes]
You can register the PAKs now by responding YES to the prompt,
or later by responding NO. You register licenses later by following
the directions in
Registering Your Licenses.
To register your licenses now, be sure you have the following
before proceeding:- A
copy of the Product Authorization Key (PAK) for each license that
you will register.
- The HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual
,
which contains complete, detailed information about the licensing
procedure.
For the OpenVMS I64 operating system, a single Operating Environment
(OE) license grants the right to use all the components bundled
in the purchased OE. Each OE is offered with per-processor licenses (PPL).
The License Management utility supports these OpenVMS I64 licensing
practices. The OpenVMS Unlimited User License is included with
the Foundation Operating Environment (FOE) and, therefore, is included
with the other OEs available.
When you answer YES to the prompt to register your licenses
now, the installation procedure invokes the SYS$UPDATE:VMSLICENSE.COM
procedure, which displays the following options menu: VMS License Management Utility Options:
1. REGISTER a Product Authorization Key
2. AMEND an existing Product Authorization Key
3. CANCEL an existing Product Authorization Key
4. LIST Product Authorization Keys
5. MODIFY an existing Product Authorization Key
6. DISABLE an existing Product Authorization Key
7. DELETE an existing Product Authorization Key
8. COPY an existing Product Authorization Key
9. MOVE an existing Product Authorization Key
10. ENABLE an existing Product Authorization Key
11. SHOW the licenses loaded on this node
12. SHOW the unit requirements for this node
99. Exit this procedure
Type '?' at any prompt for a description of the information
requested. Press Ctrl/Z at any prompt to return to this menu.
Enter one of the above choices [1]
Select the REGISTER option and enter each license key until
you have successfully registered all required PAKs. After you register
all your licenses, exit the License Management procedure by entering 99
at the prompt.
- Install Windowing
and Networking Products: The system asks whether you
want to install the following windowing and networking products.
Some of this software is required, as noted; some is optional.
- Availability
Manager base software (required)
- CDSA (required)
- Kerberos (required)
- Performance Data Collector
(base software, TDC_RT) (required)
- DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
- DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS or DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS
(choose only one)
- TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
The software that you choose to install (including the required
software) is installed along with the OpenVMS operating system.
You can change the default values for these products later in the installation
procedure.
| The OpenVMS installation menu offers the choice to install
DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS or DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS networking
software. You cannot have both installed on your system at the
same time. You can choose to install neither DECnet product; however, certain
products that depend on DECnet might be affected. After you have DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP installed on your system,
you can run DECnet applications over your TCP/IP network. For more
information about DECnet over TCP/IP, refer to the DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS Network Management
manual. |
The software products display is similar to the following
and includes the prompts for DECwindows Motif and DECnet-Plus (because
the first four products listed are required, you are not prompted
to install these). Note that the Performance Data Collector in
the list of products to be installed is TDC_RT, the run-time variant
(base software). You can install the following products along with the OpenVMS operating
system:
o Availability Manager (base) for OpenVMS I64 (required part of OpenVMS)
o CDSA for OpenVMS I64 (required part of OpenVMS)
o KERBEROS for OpenVMS I64 (required part of OpenVMS)
o Performance Data Collector for OpenVMS I64 (required part of OpenVMS)
o DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS I64
o DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS I64
o DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS I64
o HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS
If you want to change your selections, you can do so later in the
installation by answering "NO" to the following question:
"Do you want the defaults for all options?"
Do you want to install DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS I64 V1.5?
(Yes/No) [YES] Y
Beginning with OpenVMS V7.1, the DECnet-Plus kit is provided with
the OpenVMS operating system kit. HP strongly recommends that
DECnet users install DECnet-Plus. DECnet Phase IV applications are
supported by DECnet-Plus.
DECnet Phase IV is also provided as an option. Support for DECnet
Phase IV is available through a Prior Version Support Contract.
If you install DECnet-Plus and TCP/IP you can run DECnet
applications over a TCP/IP network. Please see the OpenVMS
Management Guide for information on running DECnet over TCP/IP.
Do you want to install DECnet-Plus for OpenVMS I64 V8.2-1?
(Yes/No) [YES]
If you answer NO to the DECnet-Plus prompt, you are prompted
to install DECnet Phase IV: Do you want to install DECnet Phase IV for OpenVMS I64 V8.2-1?
(Yes/No) [YES]

Do you want the defaults for all options? [YES]
When selecting options, note the following: - If you want all the default values,
press Enter (or Return).
If you want to select options individually, answer NO. The
system then prompts you for each option and suboption shown in
Component Options and Suboptions.
- Review the list of options and compare them with
the requirements for your system. If you are selecting components
individually, be sure that you include all components necessary
to support the needs of your users. Note also that certain components
depend on the installation of other components.
- If you are not sure whether you want certain options,
request help by entering a question mark (?) at the prompt for that
option.
- After you select all the options you want, you can
view your selections and make changes (if necessary).
- OpenVMS Management Station software is automatically
installed on your OpenVMS system disk when you accept all the default
values. If you do not accept the default values, you must select
the OpenVMS Management Station component (server and client files)
if you plan to use that product. After the installation is complete,
you can prepare your OpenVMS system and your PC to run OpenVMS Management
Station by following the procedures described in
Preparing to Use OpenVMS Management Station.
- If you decide after the installation to change which
OpenVMS operating system options you want installed on your system,
you must reconfigure the installation as described in
PRESERVE Option and
Adding and Removing Operating System Files (Optional).
- After you boot the new system disk and log in, you
can obtain information about individual system files by entering
HELP SYSTEM_FILES at the dollar sign prompt ($).
| Unless you have specific reasons to do otherwise, HP
recommends that you accept the defaults and install all OpenVMS
options. OpenVMS and layered products have various dependencies
on many of these options. Even if you think you do not need certain
options, some OpenVMS or layered product operations might not work
correctly if other OpenVMS options are not installed. Note also that, for OpenVMS I64 installations, the availability
of certain options depends on the OE you have purchased. For example,
OpenVMS Management Station is available with the Enterprise Operating
Environment (EOE) and the Mission Critical Operating Environment
(MCOE). |
If you answer YES to accept the defaults for all options,
the system displays a message similar to the following, the contents
of which depend on the products you chose to install. If you answer
NO, the system prompts you for each option and suboption.

- Configure and Validate Boot Options if
Desired: At this point, you are asked whether you will
use the system disk you just created (in this case, DKB400:) to
boot this system:
Will DKB400 normally be used when you boot this system
from the system disk you have just intalled? (Yes/No)
If your newly installed system disk will normally be booted
on this system and this device, and if you want the installation
procedure to assist you in setting up or validating boot options
on the EFI console in the EFI Boot Manager menu, answer YES.
If you do not want the installation procedure to assist you
in setting up or validating boot options on the EFI console, answer
NO. If you answer NO, you can set up and validate boot options
later (as explained in
Setting Boot Options for Your System Disk). You can boot the system disk manually now (as explained
in
Booting the New OpenVMS System Disk).
HP recommends that you allow the installation procedure to
assist you in setting up and validating boot options. Alternatively,
you are given the opportunity to use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager (BOOT_OPTIONS.COM)
to check or set boot options. In either case, you can add your
system disk as the first boot option in the EFI Boot Manager menu.
| To configure booting on Fibre Channel devices, you must
use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager utility (BOOT_OPTIONS.COM). (Use
of the utility is optional for other devices but mandatory for Fibre
Channel devices.) HP recommends using the utility to add shadowed
system disks in a multiple-member shadow set to the EFI boot device
list and dump device list. Be sure to add all members to both lists.
For information about the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager utility, refer
to
Setting Boot Options for Your System Disk. For more
information about configuring and booting Fibre Channel devices, refer
to
Setting Up and Booting Fibre Channel Storage Devices. |
- If you answer NO,
the following message is displayed:
If there is an existing boot option that was used to boot this
system disk, you may be able to use it. Otherwise, you will have
to use the EFI Shell the first time that you boot the newly
installed system. After booting, use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager
to create a Boot Option. To do this log in to a privileged
account and execute this command:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS
The system then informs you that the installation is complete
and prompts you to press Return to continue, at which point it
returns you to the OpenVMS main menu. You can select option 7 ("Execute
DCL commands and procedures") from the OpenVMS main menu
and enter the command at the DCL prompt ($$$) to invoke the OpenVMS
I64 Boot Manager utility.
- If you answer YES, the installation
procedure determines whether a boot entry already exists for the
system disk (in this example, DKB400:):
| | If
an entry is found, a message similar to the following
is displayed: The EFI Boot Manager menu includes the following boot option(s)
for DKB400:
EFI Boot Options list: Timeout = 0 secs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
01. DKB400 PCI(0|20|1|0) Scsi(Pun1,Lun0) "OpenVMS on DKB400: PKA0.1"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 entries found.
In this example, one boot option is found. If multiple entries
are found and if they are all SCSI devices, the procedure displays
the following message and then notifies you that the installation is
complete. You are given the opportunity to invoke the OpenVMS I64
Boot Manager to validate the boot option for your system. Please use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager to ensure that you
have a valid boot option for the system you have just installed.
When one entry is found, or when multiple Fibre Channel entries
are found, the procedure displays the following information and
prompt: Validating will ensure that the system you have just installed
will boot correctly.
Do you want to validate the boot option(s)? (Yes/No) [Yes]
Validate the boot option by entering YES or by pressing Enter
(or Return) at the prompt. The validation process is displayed,
as in the following example, in which the found entry fails to boot and
is then fixed and validated: Validate EFI Boot Options list: Timeout = 0 secs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
01. DKB400 PCI(0|20|1|0) Scsi(Pun1,Lun0) OpenVMS on DKB400: PKA0.1
efi$bcfg: Option Failed. Fixing Boot Entry automatically.
efi$bcfg: Entry 1 Boot0001 removed.
efi$bcfg: DKB400 PCI(0|20|1|0) Scsi(Pun1,Lun0) (Boot0001) Option
successfully added
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 entries validated.
|
| | If no existing entry is found,
you are asked whether you want to add a boot option: Do you want to add a boot option? (Yes/No) [Yes]
Answer YES or press Enter (or Return) to add a boot option.
A message like the following confirms that the boot option was
added successfully: efi$bcfg: dkb400: (Boot0001) Option successfully added.
The boot option is called "OpenVMS on DKB400:";
it is the first entry in the Boot Options menu, and is
configured (by default) to boot from SYS0.
If you answer NO, you are given the opportunity to run the
OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager, as described next. |
At this point, whether you answered NO or YES to the initial
prompt (Will DKB400: normally be used when you boot this system
from the system disk you have just installed?), the following message
and prompt are displayed: If you want to run the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager to examine,
change or validate entries in the EFI Boot Manager menu, you
can do so at this time.
Alternatively you can run the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager
after the installation or upgrade completes. To do this choose
the DCL option from the main menu and then execute this command:
$$$ @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS
You can also execute this command from a properly privileged
account after booting your OpenVMS I64 system.
Do you want to run the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager now? (Yes/No) [No]
If you answer YES, the procedure invokes the OpenVMS I64 Boot
Manager. (For more information about using this utility, refer
to
Setting Boot Options for Your System Disk and the
HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials
). When you finish and exit the
utility, a message indicates the installation is complete and provides
other information (see the next step).
If you answer NO, a message indicates the installation is
complete and is followed by other information (see the next step).
- Installation Completes and Returns to
OpenVMS Menu: The installation procedure is now complete.
The procedure displays information about the special startup procedure
that runs when the newly installed system is first booted. It then
prompts you to press Return to continue. After you do so, you are
returned to the OpenVMS operating system menu. The following is
a sample display:
The installation is now complete.
When the newly installed system is first booted, a special
startup procedure will be run. This procedure will:
o Configure the system for standalone or OpenVMS Cluster operation.
o Run AUTOGEN to set system parameters.
o Reboot the system with the newly set parameters.
You may shut down now or continue with other operations.
