corresponding EFI device depends on what partitions are configured on
the target disk.
blk The blk devices are block devices. Multiple blk devices exist for each
volume that has a bootable partition or diagnostic partition. These devices
may include the DVD device as well as the diagnostic partitions on
OpenVMS system disks. Diagnostic partitions are intended and reserved
for use by HP Services. (For more information about this partition, see
Appendix J (page 323) .)
3. To boot the OpenVMS Integrity servers system disk, enter the following command at
the EFI Shell prompt, where fsn: is the device associated with the system disk (probably
fs0:):
Shell> fsn:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi
The OpenVMS Integrity servers operating system now starts booting. A display similar
to the following appears, followed by the prompt for user name and password:
HP OpenVMS Industry Standard 64 Operating System, Version 8.4
(c) Copyright ... Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.
HP Integrity servers maintain a system event log (SEL) within system console storage,
and OpenVMS Integrity servers automatically transfers the contents of the SEL into the
OpenVMS error log. On certain machines, during a successful boot operation while
using a console, you might see a message indicating that the Baseboard Management
Controller (
BMC ) SEL is full. You can safely continue when the BMC SEL is full by
following the prompts; OpenVMS processes the contents of the SEL.
3.5.3 Next Steps
When you boot OpenVMS from a new system disk, a special startup procedure runs that does
the following:
•
Gives you the opportunity to configure the system for standalone or OpenVMS Cluster
operation (see
Section 3.6 (page 78) ).
• Runs AUTOGEN to evaluate your hardware configuration, estimate typical workloads, and
set system parameters (see
Section 3.7 (page 80) ).
• Reboots your system with the new parameters (see Section 3.8 (page 80) ).
After the system is rebooted with the new parameters, you can log into your SYSTEM account,
as explained in
Section 3.9 (page 81) . On Integrity servers, if you did not allow the OpenVMS
installation procedure to create a boot option for your system disk, you can set up such an option
now, as explained in
Section B.5 (page 203) . Appendix B (page 187) includes additional information
regarding setting up and booting HP Integrity servers.
3.6 Joining an OpenVMS Cluster
At installation, you are prompted to determine if the node will join an OpenVMS cluster. If you
answered as No, and if the node will not be a cluster member, you can skip to
“Running
AUTOGEN” (page 80) .
If you answered NO to the question about joining an OpenVMS Cluster, but you do intend to
add this node to a new or existing OpenVMS Cluster, you can do so only after the system has
rebooted (at the end of this phase of the installation). You must manually run the cluster
configuration utility. On an OpenVMS Alpha system, you can manually add your node to an
OpenVMS Cluster by entering the following command:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG
On an OpenVMS Integrity servers system, you can do this by entering the following command:
$ @SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN
