The Question is:
hi!
My question is :How to remove OpenVMS Alpha OS Version 6.2-1H3?
For your information, I'm using AlphaServer 1000 4/266. When I turn on the
server, the system is booting up (non-stop). It shows many devices failure.
I have try several commands, such as:
1. >>>show device
I got ...............DKA0 ......
dka600.6.0.0.6 DKA600 ............
Then, I try >>>boot -flags 0,0 dka600 and the message i got is :
dka600.6.0.6.0 has no media present or is disabled via the RUN/Stop switch
failed to open dka600.6.0.6.0
Can you please help me to solve this problem? I want to use Windows NT Server
but I can't because of this problem. And for your further information, I'm a
new user of OpenVMS (I don't know anything about this OS).
Thank you.
The Answer is : It would appear that you do not have a DKA600: SCSI disk device available and powered up, or that there is a SCSI unit number collision (possibly with the host SCSI controller), or that there is no media loaded in the DKA600: device, or some other hardware or SCSI configuration or SCSI termination problem has occured. If the information on loading firmware and the associated firmware pointers in the OpenVMS FAQ are insufficient for your requirments, and if setting the OS_TYPE environment variable to NT and then power-cycling the system does not help, the OpenVMS Wizard recommends you contact your hardware support organization or Compaq Customer Service Center for assistance in determining the particular problem and in loading the appropriate firmware. (Windows NT expects ARC or AlphaBIOS, while OpenVMS and Tru64 UNIX expect the SRM firmware.) The OpenVMS Wizard is not particularly in a position to discuss Windows NT. Compaq has announced that new development in support of Microsoft Windows NT on Alpha platforms is being discontinued -- available migration is to OpenVMS Alpha and Tru64 UNIX on Alpha, or to an Intel-based platform.
