Installing the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
3.2 Creating the System Disk
If your system has a source-drive that is a local tape cartridge drive with a device
name of MUC6 or a target-drive that is an RA81 disk drive with a device name
of DUA1 and an HSC name of YOURS, enter the following command and press
Return:
$ BACKUP/IMAGE/VERIFY MUC6:VMS073.B/SAVE_SET YOURS$DUA1:
The procedure transfers the VMS073.B save set from the distribution kit to the
system disk.
1
The amount of time this takes varies depending on the type of VAX
computer and distribution media you have. During the process, the command
displays the following message:
%BACKUP-I-STARTVERIFY, starting verification pass
This message indicates that the VMS073.B save set has been transferred to
the system disk and the files are being checked for errors. If, instead, you see
a message similar to the following, you might have the wrong volume of the
distribution kit in the source drive:
% BACKUP-F-OPENIN, error opening MUA0:[000000]VMS073.B; as input
- SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHFILE, no such file
.
.
.
If you do want to perform another standalone BACKUP operation,
ensure the standalone BACKUP volume is on line and ready.
Enter "YES" to continue:
If the procedure displays the previous messages, remove the distribution volume
from the drive and replace it with the correct volume as described in Section 3.2.2.
Then type Yes, press Return, and repeat this step.
Completing the Transfer Operation
Complete the transfer of the VMS073.B save set to your system disk by
performing one of the following operations:
• If you are using standalone BACKUP to transfer the VMS073.B save set, the
procedure displays the following message when it has completed checking
files:
%BACKUP-I-PROCDONE, Operation completed. Processing finished at 13-NOV-2000 10:00.
If you do not want to perform another standalone BACKUP operation,
use the console to halt the system.
If you do want to perform another standalone BACKUP operation,
ensure the standalone application volume is on line and ready.
Enter "YES" to continue:
Go to Section 3.2.4 to boot the new system disk.
• If you are using the specialized OpenVMS environment to transfer the
VMS073.B save set, the system displays the triple dollar sign ($$$) DCL
prompt after the BACKUP operation completes. Enter the command
LOGOUT to return to the menu. For example:
$$$ LOGOUT
1) Execute DCL commands and procedures
2) Shut down this system

The BACKUP command creates a system disk that includes a set of volume parameters
provided by Compaq, including the CLUSTER_SIZE parameter (disk access scheme).
