Installation and Upgrade Guide

Because of these differences, any procedures used for Alpha systems to set up booting from the
InfoServer hardware are not valid for setting up booting from the OpenVMS InfoServer utility.
In addition, actions for setting up booting from the OpenVMS I64 InfoServer utility differ from
those required for setting up booting from an OpenVMS Alpha InfoServer utility. Table B-2 lists
the various actions that need to be performed to enable network booting using the OpenVMS
InfoServer utility on OpenVMS I64 or OpenVMS Alpha systems. These actions need be performed
only once except where noted.

Section B.2 (page 191)1. Determine the LAN I/O card to be used on your local Integrity
server for the network boot and report the associated OpenVMS
device name, its IP address, and its MAC address to the network
administrator responsible for setting up the BOOTP server.
2. Optionally (and recommended), add this network device as an
EFI boot option—this procedure can be repeated on any other
system in the LAN that will use the InfoServer server for network
booting.
3. Verify that the network device is supported by EFI as a bootable
device.

Upgrade instructions in
Chapter 6 (page 95).
Prior to upgrading,
review Chapter 4
(page 77), and
Chapter 5 (page 87).
Designate at least one OpenVMS system in the LAN as the InfoServer
server. Upgrade the system if necessary (OpenVMS I64 must be
Version 8.2-1 or later; OpenVMS Alpha must be Version 8.3 or later).
I64 or Alpha
Section B.3 (page 193).1. Copy SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.TEMPLATE to
SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT and then modify
parameters in SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT.
2. Determine which network device will be used for InfoServer LAD
operations.
3. Copy SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.TEMPLATE to
SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT and then modify
parameters in SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT.
4. Add a line to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to start
the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM file at startup.
5. If you changed any SYSGEN parameters, run AUTOGEN and
reboot; if you did not change SYSGEN parameters, skip the reboot
and execute the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM file
manually.
6. Use the InfoServer control program to create a service for the
DVD drive.

Reference Manual: A-L.
Enable MOP on the boot server and then copy APB_083.SYS from
the OpenVMS Version 8.3 distribution media to the MOP download
database (LAN$DLL, which defaults to MOM$SYSTEM).

Section B.4 (page 196).Set up the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS BOOTP server and TFTP
server. (For each new release of OpenVMS I64, update the client
entries in the BOOTP database to point to the new version-specific
boot file.) The person responsible for setting up the boot server needs
information about your InfoServer client. OpenVMS I64 boot files
are unique for each version of OpenVMS I64. Latest boot files must
be available and referenced in the BOOTP server database.
