When i tried to boot the OpenVMS 8.3 Installation DVD from EFI shell, i am getting the bellow message.

ERROR: Canout device path can't be set to multiple devices
Warning: Select console device paths from the boot manager menu.

What is the issue with my box ? Do i have the upgrade the firmware? or any other issue ?

Thank you.

There is nothing wrong with your rx2660.

You need to configure the Console Input, Output and Error device to just contain one and the same device, typically selecting the MP console as the EFI console device for OpenVMS.

After powering up your rx2660, use the down-arrow key when the EFI boot menu shows up to go to Boot Configuration and select the Console devices.

Hi,

It is necessary to configure the serial console of the Integrity systems; since for VMS the input, output and error console all must point to the same serial-line console device.

At the console of the Integrity systems, select â Boot Configurationâ from the â EFI Boot Managerâ menu.
From the submenu, select â Console Configurationâ .
The â Console Configurationâ should look like:

Console Configuration
S Serial Acpi(PNP0501,0) Vt100+ 9600
P Serial Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1) Vt100+ 9600
S VGA Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0)

Position the cursor on the first entry and press . Hereby disabling the â system serial portâ .
Position the cursor on the third entry and press . Hereby disabling the â VGA portâ .
The final console configuration should look like this:

Console Configuration
NC Serial Acpi(PNP0501,0) Vt100+ 9600
P Serial Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(1|1) Vt100+ 9600
NC VGA Acpi(HWP0002,700)/Pci(2|0)

Save the settings to NVRAM, and reset the system.
