6.5 What to Do After Shutdown

After an OpenVMS I64 system shuts down, you can use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager utility to add and validate a boot option for the newly upgraded system disk, and then boot the newly upgraded system disk. AUTOGEN runs automatically, after which the system shuts down again and automatically reboots. If you are doing a concurrent or rolling upgrade in an OpenVMS Cluster environment, do not boot any other cluster members now.

Now go to Chapter 7 (page 113) and check for any postupgrade tasks that need to be performed before the system and cluster can be used. Once you have completed all required postupgrade tasks, you can reboot and then use other cluster members.
