Installing the OpenVMS VAX Operating System
3.2 Creating the System Disk
%SET-I-INTSET, login interactive limit = 1, current interactive value = 0
%SET-I-INTSET, login interactive limit = 0, current interactive value = 0
Note
You can ignore the time zone message. The UTC$TIME_SETUP.COM
procedure runs during the final phase of the installation procedure.
The procedure also displays OPCOM messages from JOB_CONTROL
stating the master queue file QMAN$MASTER.DAT does not exist. You
can ignore these messages. You will create the queue file later.
You can also ignore error messages stating that the OpenVMS VAX license
is not registered. License registration occurs later in the procedure. For
more information about registering your licenses, see Appendix B and
refer to the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
3.2.5 Specifying the Volume Label
The procedure prompts you to specify the volume label of the system disk. A
volume label is the name the OpenVMS VAX operating system uses to refer
to the system disk. You can press Return to accept the default volume label,
OVMSVAXSYS, or you can enter a volume label of your choice. The volume label
can be 1 to 12 characters long; do not use spaces. For example:
If this system disk is to be used in an OpenVMS Cluster with multiple
system disks, then each system disk must have a unique volume label.
Any nodes having system disks with duplicate volume labels will fail
to boot into the cluster.
You can indicate a volume label of 1 to 12 characters in length. If you
want to use the default name of OVMSVAXSYS, press RETURN in response
to the next question.
* Enter the volume label for this system disk [OVMSVAXSYS]:
3.2.6 Specifying the Source Drive
The procedure prompts you to specify which drive holds the distribution kit.
Enter the device name for the source drive.
For example, if you are not using the InfoServer and the source drive is a
magnetic tape drive with the device name MUA0, type MUA0 and press Return.
* Enter name of drive holding the OpenVMS distribution media: MUA0
* Is the OpenVMS media ready to be mounted? [N] yes
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED, VMS073 mounted on _MUA0:
If you are not using the InfoServer, continue to Section 3.2.7.
If you are using an InfoServer, enter DAD1:.
* Enter the volume label for this system disk [OpenVMS073]: SYSDSK1
* Enter name of drive holding the OpenVMS distribution media: DAD1:
The procedure then prompts you as follows:
* Enter the InfoServer service name [VAXVMS073]:
* Enter the InfoServer work group number [0]:
Press Return as a response to both of these prompts.
