7.2.5 Specifying the Source Drive
VMSINSTAL asks for the name of the drive that holds the distribution media:
* Where will the distribution volumes be mounted:
Enter the device name of the source drive. For example, if you have a VAX 6000
series computer that has a TK70 with a device name of MUC6, type MUC6 and
press Return.
If the drive is connected to an HSC, enter the HSC name and the device name of
the drive separated by a dollar sign ($). (If you do not enter the device name in
this manner, it will cause a failure in Phase 2.) For example, if the HSC name is
MUTT and the device name is MUA0, enter the following and press Return:
* Where will the distribution volumes be mounted: MUTT$MUA0
If you are not using an InfoServer device, proceed to Section 7.2.6.
If you are upgrading from a compact disc drive connected to an InfoServer, the
device name is DADn. The n part of the device name was displayed when you
bound to the distribution compact disc as previously described in Section 7.2.2.
If VMSINSTAL displays an error message, make sure the drive is connected and
set up properly. Enter the name again. If VMSINSTAL displays another error
message, use the following procedure to verify the device name:
1. Press Ctrl/Y to exit from VMSINSTAL.

name.
