HP OpenVMS 8.x manual Setting Up vMedia

hostname is the host name of the provisioning/boot client and ipaddress is its IP address:

$ TCPIP SET HOST hostname/ADDRESS=ipaddress

f.For each provisioning/boot client, you might need to add an entry in the BOOTP database to specify a gateway and network mask. To do so, use the SET BOOTP command in the following format, where hostname specifies the host name of the boot client, hosts specifies gateways used for routing, and ip-host-fieldspecifies the part of the host field of an IP address identified as the subnet. To determine the names of the gateways and the subnet information, consult your network administrator. For more information on this command, see the TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS documentation.

$ TCPIP SET BOOTP hostname /GATEWAY=hosts-

_$ /NETWORK_MASK=ip-host-field /FILE=[V831H1]VMS_LOADER.EFI

To display and verify your BOOTP server configuration, use the TCPIP SHOW BOOTP/FULL command.

IMPORTANT: For each new version of OpenVMS I64, you must modify the client entry in the BOOTP database to point to the new, version-specific boot file. As shown in the previous example, the boot file for OpenVMS Version 8.3-1H1 is [V831H1]VMS_LOADER.EFI.

3.Create a copy of the OpenVMS OE DVD on an LD device (logical disk or virtual drive) that is accessible to the InfoServer utility. The following example shows how to establish an LD device and copy the OpenVMS DVD (DNA0:) to the device on an OpenVMS system that is the InfoServer server:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:LD$STARTUP

$ LD CREATE I640831H1.DSK/SIZE=6005000 $ LD CONNECT I640831H1.DSK

$ MOUNT/FOREIGN/NOASSIST LDA1:

$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DNA0: $ BACKUP/IMAGE/VERIFY DNA0: LDA1:

$ DISMOUNT DNA0: $ DISMOUNT LDA1:

For more information about InfoServer commands, including how to work with LD devices, see the HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 New Features and Documentation Overview manual.

4.Start the InfoServer client on your Integrity server, and on any other systems that are to be provisioned, by entering the following command:

$ @SYS$STARTUP:ESS$STARTUP DISK

To have the InfoServer start at system boot, include the preceding command in the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM file.

5.Enable the LD device as the InfoServer service, as in the following example:

$ MOUNT/SYSTEM/NOWRITE LDA1: I640831H1 $ INFOSERVER :== $ESS$INFOSERVER

$ INFOSERVER

INFOSERVER> CREATE SERVICE I640831H1 LDA1:

INFOSERVER> EXIT

C.1.4 Setting Up vMedia

If you want to use vMedia to provide a virtual CD/DVD drive or image file over the network from which you can install or upgrade OpenVMS on your Integrity server, follow the steps described in this section. These steps show you how to use iLO 2 MP through your browser to create an ISO image of your OpenVMS OE DVD.

1.Insert the OpenVMS OE DVD into the DVD drive on your PC or Windows server.
