Installing the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
3.1 Booting Standalone BACKUP
2. Follow the instructions in the Booting Standalone BACKUP section of the
upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX computer.
3. After you boot standalone BACKUP, the system displays the following
message:
%BACKUP-I-IDENT, standalone BACKUP V7.3; the date is 13-NOV-2000 10:00
$
Note
If you have a tape cartridge kit, remove the tape cartridge 2/2 from the
drive after you boot standalone BACKUP. Put the tape cartridge that
contains the OpenVMS VAX operating system in the drive. The tape
cartridge is labeled VMS073 BIN TK50 1/2 VMS BINARY.
After you have booted standalone BACKUP, go to Section 3.2.
3.1.2 Booting from the InfoServer
If you are using the InfoServer to boot standalone BACKUP from a compact disc,
complete the following steps:
1. Insert the distribution compact disc into the drive and boot from that drive.
2. Follow the instructions in the Booting Standalone BACKUP section of the
upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX computer.
3. Enter your VAX processor boot command by using the designator for the
Ethernet adapter in the boot path and, except for the VAX 9000 computer,
add the /R5:100 qualifier to the boot command.
For example, on a VAX 6000 computer, enter:
>>> B/R5:100/X:D/B:6 ET0
On VAX 9000 computers, standalone BACKUP resides on the console hard
disk. Because the boot process is slightly different for each type of controller,
each supported controller has a unique boot command procedure. Refer to
the upgrade and installation supplement for your VAX 9000 computer for
instructions for booting standalone BACKUP on your system.
4. During an InfoServer boot, the procedure prompts you for a file name that
contains an initial system load (ISL) boot program instead of a virtual
memory boot (VMB) program. Select one of the two files as follows:
• ISL_SVAX_073
• ISL_LVAX_073
Use the following table to determine which file name and boot path designator
to use for your processor. Note that the VAX 9000 computer has the ISL file
data built in its VMB image that runs from the console.
Processor
Series ISL File Boot Path Designator
VAX 3000 ISL_SVAX_073 ESA0 (LANCE), XQA0 (DELQA)
VAX 4000 ISL_SVAX_073 EZA0 (SGEC), XQA0 (DELQA)
