Upgrading the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
7.3 Upgrade Phase 1
Once the shutdown is complete, stop the system using the HALT
button on the computer control panel, or the BREAK key on the
console terminal if your system has no HALT button. Reboot the
system with the following command, replacing "ddcu" with the
name of the disk drive that contains the system disk.
B/F0000000 ddcu
The upgrade is set up to continue once the system reboots.
If, for some reason, the kernel V7.3 system should fail to boot,
you can boot into SYSBOOT by entering:
B/F0000001 ddcu
* Press RETURN to shut down system:
Once you have read the information displayed on the screen, press Return to
begin the shutdown.
7.3.11 Automatic System Reboot
If your system uses console media, it should automatically reboot from the
SYSF directory when the shutdown is complete. If you have a MicroVAX or
if your system does not reboot from SYSF, halt the system and boot from the
[SYSF] directory. For most MicroVAX and VAXstation computers, use the BOOT
command in the following format and substitute the device name of the system
disk for ddcu:
>>> B/F0000000 ddcu
7.3.12 Manual System Reboot
If the system fails to boot, you can boot into SYSBOOT by entering the following:
>>> B/F0000001 ddcu
For more information on booting your computer from the SYSF directory, refer to
the upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX computer.
7.3.13 Verifying System Time
When the system reboots, it displays a message similar to the following:
OpenVMS (TM) VAX Version V7.3 Major version id = 1 Minor version id = 0
System time is: 13-NOV-2000 10:46:26.34
Enter Yes to the next question to leave the system time unchanged
(the system clock continues to run unaffected)
Enter No to set a new system time
Enter ? to redisplay the time
* Is this correct? (Y/N/?)
Enter your response and press Return.
7.4 Upgrade Phase 2
At the beginning of Phase 2, the procedure displays a message similar to the
following:
Continuing with OpenVMS VAX V7.3 Upgrade Procedure.
Upgrade Phase 2 13-NOV-2000 10:46:31.86
