HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Table B-2 Procedure for Enabling InfoServer Network Booting, Section B.2

Because of these differences, any procedures used for Alpha systems to set up booting from the InfoServer hardware are not valid for setting up booting from the OpenVMS InfoServer utility. In addition, actions for setting up booting from the OpenVMS I64 InfoServer utility differ from those required for setting up booting from an OpenVMS Alpha InfoServer utility. Table B-2lists the various actions that need to be performed to enable network booting using the OpenVMS InfoServer utility on OpenVMS I64 or OpenVMS Alpha systems. These actions need be performed only once except where noted.

		device name, its IP address, and its MAC address to the network
		administrator responsible for setting up the BOOTP server.
	2.	Optionally (and recommended), add this network device as an
		EFI boot option—this procedure can be repeated on any other
		system in the LAN that will use the InfoServer server for network
		booting.
	3.	Verify that the network device is supported by EFI as a bootable
		device.

I64 or Alpha	Designate at least one OpenVMS system in the LAN as the InfoServer
	server. Upgrade the system if necessary (OpenVMS I64 must be
	Version 8.2-1 or later; OpenVMS Alpha must be Version 8.3 or later).

Upgrade instructions in Chapter 6 (page 95). Prior to upgrading, review Chapter 4 (page 77), and Chapter 5 (page 87).

I64 or Alpha	1.	Copy SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.TEMPLATE to
		SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT and then modify
		parameters in SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT.
	2.	Determine which network device will be used for InfoServer LAD
		operations.
	3.	Copy SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.TEMPLATE to
		SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT and then modify
		parameters in SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAST_STARTUP.DAT.
	4.	Add a line to SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM to start
		the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM file at startup.
	5.	If you changed any SYSGEN parameters, run AUTOGEN and
		reboot; if you did not change SYSGEN parameters, skip the reboot
		and execute the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM file
		manually.
	6.	Use the InfoServer control program to create a service for the
		DVD drive.
Alpha only	Enable MOP on the boot server and then copy APB_083.SYS from
	the OpenVMS Version 8.3 distribution media to the MOP download
	database (LAN$DLL, which defaults to MOM$SYSTEM).

	entries in the BOOTP database to point to the new version-specific
	boot file.) The person responsible for setting up the boot server needs
	information about your InfoServer client. OpenVMS I64 boot files
	are unique for each version of OpenVMS I64. Latest boot files must
	be available and referenced in the BOOTP server database.
