After several minutes, the upgrade procedure indicates that the system will
shut down to reboot the partially upgraded OpenVMS VAX system and displays
information about how to reboot the system:
System shutting down to boot the new kernel system.
(Please ignore any error messages during the SHUTDOWN procedure.)
