Chapter 5. DIGITAL OpenVMS Installation

∙It allows booting of third party devices.

∙It de-couples device drivers from major DIGITAL OpenVMS releases such that drivers can be added or modified between DIGITAL OpenVMS releases.

DIGITAL has added two files that are relevant to the third party boot mecha- nism:

sys$system:sys$config.dat

and

sys$system:sys$user_config.dat

These files map I/O devices to their respective drivers. Sys$config.dat is pro- vided by DIGITAL to support all devices known at the time the operating system is kitted, and sys$user_config.dat is a blank template for adding additional de- vices. The KZPCM Host Adapter installation procedure modifies sys$user_config.dat by appending an entry for DIGITAL products.

Perform these steps to install the driver.

1.Place the DIGITAL OpenVMS, Version V7.1-1H1, CD (DIGITAL part number QA–MT1AD–H8) in the CD-ROM drive (this example uses dka400).

2.Insert the KZPCM Host Adapter DIGITAL OpenVMS driver floppy diskette in the floppy diskette drive (dva0).

3.The installation process requires three boots:

A. >>>boot –flag 0,80000 dka400,dkb0,dva0

(where dka400 is the DIGITAL OpenVMS installation CD-ROM, dkb0 is the target device for the installation, and dva0 is the KZPCM Host Adapter driver distribution floppy).

The following questions MUST be answered exactly as follows. If you enter keystrokes instead of accepting the defaults, the system will echo incorrect responses.

On which device will the secondary media be mounted [default 2 (DVA0)]: (<CR>accept the default)

Is the secondary boot media ready in drive DVA0 (Y/N) [Y]: (<CR>accept the default)
