Compaq GS320, GS160, GS80 manual P00 set eia0protocols bootp P00 set eia0inetinit bootp

Systems running Tru64 UNIX support network adapters, designated ew*0 or ei*0. The asterisk stands for the adapter ID (a, b, c, and so on).

1.Power up the system. The system stops at the SRM console prompt, P00>>>.

2.Set boot environment variables, if desired. See Section 6.2.

3.Enter the show device command ➊ to determine the unit number of the drive for your device.

4.Enter the following commands. Example 6–4 assumes you are booting from eia0. If you are booting from another drive, enter that device name instead.

P00>>> set eia0_protocols bootp P00>>> set eia0_inet_init bootp

The first command ➋ enables the bootp network protocol for booting over the Ethernet controller. The second command ➌ sets the internal Internet database to initialize from the network server through the bootp protocol.

5.Enter the boot command ➍ and command-line parameters (if you have not set the associated environment variables). In Example 6–4 the boot command sets the system to boot automatically from eia0.

For complete instructions on booting Tru64 UNIX over the network, see the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide.
