The installation of minimum OpenVMS I64 is now complete.

Use EFI or the boot option you just created or validated (if any) to boot minimum OpenVMS. If you use EFI remember to set VMS_FLAGS to E,0 before booting, and to reset VMS_FLAGS to 0,0 (or as required by your system).

BOOT -FLAGS E,O device-name

(Some configurations may require a boot option to boot.)

CAUTION: If your system is a cluster member, HP recommends that you shut down the entire OpenVMS Cluster system before you back up your system disk. This will prevent you from creating a partitioned cluster and from jeopardizing the integrity of your data in any other way.

E.6.2 Using the Alternate System Disk

Use the alternate system disk (on which you installed the operating system with no options) to perform backup and restore operations as follows:

1.Shut down your system.

2.Boot the alternate system disk from the SYSE root.

For OpenVMS I64 systems, you can add the alternate system disk as a boot option in the EFI Boot Manager menu by using the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager utility (SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM), as described in Section A.5.2 (page 165). When prompted, set the flags as e,0. Alternatively, boot the alternate system disk manually by entering the following command at the EFI Shell prompt, where fsn: (such as fs1:) is the device associated with the system disk:

Shell> fsn:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi -flags e,0

The system automatically logs you in to the SYSTEM account and then displays a triple dollar sign prompt ($$$).

NOTE: During the boot and login operations on this minimum version of the operating system, you can ignore license messages that are similar to the following:

%LICENSE-I-NOLICENSE, no license is active for this software product

3.If your system disk is shadowed, install and load a Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS license on this data disk. Then you can back up the shadowed system disk from this data disk without disabling the shadow set.
