I freshly installed OpenVMS 8.3 on Alpha DS15, while installation, i didn't faced any issues. The installation went fine. After installation, whenever the box try to boot the OpenVMS os, i am getting the bellow error message.

**** OpenVMS Alpha Operating System V8.3 - BUGCHECK ****

From what type of disk and disk controller are you trying to boot this system ?

You probably have not correctly configured the boot device with wwidmgr. You also need to define an OS Unit ID on the EVA, then:

>>> wwidmgr -show wwid
>>> wwidmgr -quickset -udid x

See your previous thread:

Excellent.

Thank you volker.

The problem is solved by specifying -udid option with wwidmgr command.
