HP OpenVMS 8.x Setting Up the Bootp Boot Server and Tftp Server, Sys$Managersystartupvms.Com

you can skip the reboot and execute the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM file manually.

After you complete these steps, the InfoServer server software is running and available to serve boot requests. Note that the network devices are LAD0 (the LAD Server Virtual Device) and LAST0 (the LAST Transport Layer Virtual Device).

6.The InfoServer server can run on the same system as the InfoServer client. You might want to start the InfoServer client on this system, allowing the system to mount InfoServer devices. To start the InfoServer on this system, enter the following command at the DCL prompt:

$$$ @SYS$STARTUP:ESS$STARTUP DISK

To have the InfoServer client start at system boot, include the command in

SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.

7.Now that you have set up and enabled the InfoServer server, you must use the InfoServer control program to create a service for the DVD drive. Follow these steps:

a.Mount the OpenVMS distribution media systemwide. In the following example, DQA0 is the DVD drive name (typically, DQA0 or DNA0 is the drive name) and I640831H1 is the volume label (for OpenVMS I64):

$ MOUNT/SYSTEM DQA0 I640831H1

b.Enter the following command at the DCL prompt to define the InfoServer control program as a foreign command, or enter the line in a startup or login command file:

$ INFOSERVER :== $ESS$INFOSERVER

Alternatively, you can enter the following command to start the program:

$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:ESS$INFOSERVER

c.Start the InfoServer control program and create the service, as in the following example (the colon after the device name DQA0 is required):

$ INFOSERVER

INFOSERVER> CREATE SERVICE I640831H1 DQA0:

INFOSERVER> EXIT

The created service should now be available for any InfoServer clients in the same LAN (these clients broadcast service solicitations over the LAN).

Started as in this example, the InfoServer control program accepts multiple commands until you exit by entering the EXIT command (or pressing Ctrl/Z). You can also enter a single command at the DCL prompt, returning you immediately to the DCL prompt again:

$ INFOSERVER CREATE SERVICE I640831H1 DQA0:

$

The InfoServer control program commands are similar, though not identical, to those supported by the hardware InfoServer used traditionally by OpenVMS Alpha systems. For more information, see the INFOSERVER help (at the INFOSERVER prompt, type HELP) or the HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 New Features and Documentation Overview manual.

8.On OpenVMS Alpha systems only, you must perform the following steps:

a.Enable MOP to use LANACP or DECnet on the system on which the OpenVMS InfoServer utility is being used. For information about enabling MOP, see the LANCP chapter in the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual: A-L.

b.Copy the APB_083.SYS file from the OpenVMS Alpha distribution media to the MOP download directory (LAN$DLL, which defaults to MOM$SYSTEM).

B.4 Setting Up the BOOTP Boot Server and TFTP Server

The BOOTP boot server for the OpenVMS I64 InfoServer utility can be on the same system or on any system in the same LAN as the InfoServer application. TFTP is required on the boot server for supplying the boot files to the client systems.

The steps necessary to set up the boot server and boot files are as follows:
