SHOW CONFIGURATION displays the positions of modules. The first
column identifies each module’s node, slot location, and self-test status.
The second column entries are the device names; the third, the device
type codes. The last column shows the revision level of each module.
The CIXCD is located at XMI node D. Enter this value D in the BOOT
command as the argument to the /XMI qualifier.
In the BOOT command, the system root is the argument to the /R5
qualifier. In Example 4–1 the system root for VMS SYS7 is specified.
(To boot ULTRIX, the appropriate /R5 qualifier from Appendix F would
be given.)
The arguments to /NODE are hexadecimal HSC node numbers. In
this example they are 0E (decimal 14) and 02 (decimal 2). Listing two
arguments tells the system to connect to either the HSC at VAXcluster
node 14 or the HSC at VAXcluster node 2. The command takes a
maximum of two parameters for this qualifier. If your disk is dual-
ported to the HSC controller, be sure to use both nodes; this gives the
system an alternate route in case one HSC is disabled.
DUC requests booting from a disk with hexadecimal unit number C.
System runs self-test (see Chapter 6 for a description of the self-test
display).
Status messages appear, indicating a successful boot.

installation manual.

These boot status messages apply only to Model 500 and 600 systems. See Appendix J.
