Owner`s manual

When you boot VMS from a VAXcluster, you need to gather the following
information:
• Node number of the HSC controller(s)
• Device address of the disk unit that will execute boot
• Location of the system root
The node number of an HSC controller is a 2-digit hexadecimal number.
The device type is of the form DU0 (see Section 5.6). The location of the
system root is a hexadecimal number that indicates the system to be booted.
Figure 4–5 shows a sample VAXcluster configuration. Note that there are
two HSC controllers with node numbers 02 and 0E in this configuration.
Section 4.6.2 discusses a CI boot on the system configuration shown in
Figure 4–5.
If your system is part of a VAXcluster and you want it to boot from the
cluster system disk, you may set its default boot specification to this disk
using the SET BOOT console command (see Section 5.18.1).
