.
The installation of minimum OpenVMS I64 is now complete.

Use EFI or the boot option you just created or validated (if any)
to boot minimum OpenVMS. If you use EFI remember to set VMS_FLAGS
to E,0 before booting, and to reset VMS_FLAGS to 0,0 (or as
required by your system).

BOOT -FLAGS E,O device-name

(Some configurations may require a boot option to boot.)

CAUTION:

If your system is a cluster member, HP recommends that you shut down the

entire OpenVMS Cluster system before you back up your system disk. This will prevent
you from creating a partitioned cluster and from jeopardizing the integrity of your data in
any other way.

F.6.2 Using the Alternate System Disk

Use the alternate system disk (on which you installed the operating system with no options) to
perform backup and restore operations as follows:
1.

Shut down your system.

2.

Boot the alternate system disk from the SYSE root. For example, from an OpenVMS Alpha
system, enter the following command:

>>> BOOT -FLAGS E,0 DKA 200

For OpenVMS Integrity server systems, you can add the alternate system disk as a boot
option in the EFI Boot Manager menu by using the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager
utility (SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM), as described in

Section B.5.2 (page 205)

.

When prompted, set the flags as e,0. Alternatively, boot the alternate system disk manually
by entering the following command at the EFI Shell prompt, where fsn: (such as fs1:) is the
device associated with the system disk:

Shell> fsn:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi -flags e,0

The system automatically logs you in to the SYSTEM account and then displays a triple
dollar sign prompt ($$$).
