HP OpenVMS 8.x Device-Naming Conventions, Updating Your Firmware from the Firmware Update CD

The following example shows the command for unzipping an .ISO image of the latest firmware for an rx2600 system (the file name changes with each update of the firmware available on the website):

$ UNZIP PF_CPEAKSYS0nnn.ZIP

Archive: SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR]PF_CPEAKSYS0nnn.ZIP inflating: PF_CPEAKSYS0nnn.ISO

4.Record the data on the CD, specifying the .ISO file as the source for the CD. For instructions on doing this, enter the following command:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:CDRECORD HELP

NOTE: OpenVMS software includes the CD recording tool CDRECORD. For online help, enter the @SYS$MANAGER:CDRECORD HELP command at the OpenVMS DCL prompt as shown previously. For CDRECORD source files, check the OpenVMS Open Source Tools CD supplied with your OpenVMS I64 OE DVD. For more information about the software, visit the following website:

1.3.4.3 Updating Your Firmware from the Firmware Update CD

You update the firmware of an entry-class Integrity server from the firmware update CD created in the preceding section. For instructions, see the release notes provided for the firmware you downloaded.

IMPORTANT: To update Integrity server firmware on cell-based servers, contact HP Customer Support.

1.3.5 Device-Naming Conventions

When you perform specific operations, you are asked to specify a device name for the source drive and one for the target drive. When specifying those device names, note the following naming conventions:

•When the source drive is a local CD or DVD drive, the device name is similar to the following: DQA0 (IDE drive) or DNA0 (USB drive)

For a device name, such as DQA0:, note the following conventions:

—DQ is the device code.

—A is the device controller designation.

—0 is the unit number of the device.

•When the target drive is a local disk, the device name is similar to the following: DKA0:

•When the source drive is a virtual DVD drive served by the InfoServer, the device name is typically the following:

DAD1:

•On OpenVMS systems configured in certain OpenVMS Cluster or HSx environments, the device naming convention is similar to the following:

DUA20.14.0.2.0

The values you specify identify components such as the boot device, controller, unit number of the boot device, HSx controller node number, and channel numbers. Because these values vary depending on your specific hardware configuration, see the owner, operator, and technical service manuals that came with your computer for detailed information.
