Not a very complete description of the
system.

> Can anyone help [...]

Anyone who has read the manual or the on-line
help probably can. If your system works the
way my system works, then you might try:

Shell> help

Shell> help shell

Shell> help cd

[...]
* To change volumes with cd will not work!! For example:
fs0:\efi\tools\> cd fs1:\ !!!! will not work !!!!
must first type fs1: then cd to desired directory

For installing and managing OpenVMS I64 on Integrity servers, you are expected to have access to and to have read through this document:

ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/openvms/doc/BA322-90077.PDF

Within that document, search for "Shell>" and for "General Notes About Using EFI", among other sections you will want to read.

To wit:

Example 1 â From Top Level
fs0:\> \efi\vms\vms_show device . . .
fs0:\> \efi\vms\vms_set dump_dev dga3730 Example 2

â First Moving to \efi\vms
fs0:\> cd \efi\vms fs0:\efi\vms> vms_show device . . . fs0:\efi\vms> vms_set dump_dev dga3730

EFI: fs1: Acpi(HWP0002,400,PNP0A03)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun5,Lun0)
