Displays information about the boot client MOZART as stored in the BOOTP database (use
this command to verify that the client has been configured appropriately).
After you complete these steps, in addition to the required steps in the preceding sections, you
can boot a client over the network using the InfoServer application. Instructions on performing
the InfoServer boot are in Section B.5 (page 199). A troubleshooting section is included in
Section B.6 (page 201).
B.5 Booting OpenVMS I64 from the InfoServer
After you set up the InfoServer software and the boot server properly and ensure that the
InfoServer service is available, you can boot the remote DVD served by the InfoServer by following
these steps:
NOTE: You can copy the DVD to an LD device and boot from the LD device. This process is
faster than using a DVD.
1. Make sure the CD or DVD is mounted systemwide on the OpenVMS system serving as the
InfoServer, and make sure an InfoServer service for the DVD drive is available on the network
and accessible from your client system (the system to be booted from the InfoServer). The
service should point to the server DVD drive on which the OpenVMS CD or DVD is mounted.
To ensure that the InfoServer service is available on the network, use the following command:
$ MC ESS$LADCP SHOW SERVICES
The following is a sample display:

Disk services offered by node MOOSIC (LAD V3.1, Address: AA-00-04-00-AB-4E)

I640831H1 OpenVMS 65535 0 No

.
In this example, the service I640831H1 is the virtual disk unit that corresponds to the DVD
drive on the InfoServer server named MOOSIC. This is the drive from which the OpenVMS
distribution media is booted. The display shows that this service is available and that a
service binding to the InfoServer DVD drive is established.
2. Access EFI on your Integrity server. If you added a boot option for network (InfoServer)
booting to the EFI Boot Manager options list, as described in Section B.2.2 (page 192); then
select the appropriate boot option from the list. To move to the option, use the up or down
arrow key. (Depending on how your terminal emulator is set up, you might have to use the
letter v to scroll down or the caret (^) to scroll up.) Press Enter to toggle the selection. After
selecting the boot option, skip to step 3.
NOTE: If you do not select an option within the default 10-second limit, the first option in
the list is selected automatically.
If you did not add a boot option for InfoServer booting to the EFI Boot Manager options list,
then initiate the boot by either following the steps in “Booting with the EFI Boot Manager”
or, on some of the more recent Integrity servers, using the simpler method described in
“Booting with EFI lanboot select command”.
