Hi Domen,
These are only suggestions, since I dont have any i2 servers. I am running VMS 8.4 on a bl860c (old) however;
1. When the boot_options script asks for device name, enter "?". Now enter the device name exactly as listed (including the ":") As I said this is just a suggestion which probably wont make any difference, since the script appears to succeed in adding the entry. I am assuming that when you boot back to the "Boot Manager" screen, either the entries are not there, or when you try to boot from them you get the "device not found" message.
2 I am not sure if this applies for Fibre channel disks, however; If you go to the shell, and change to fs0:\EFI\VMS, do you have the normal executables available??, i.e. VMS_SHOW, VMS_BCFG, etc.
If you do, try VMS_SHOW device, and see if it lists your FC disk. If it does, then you can probably set up a boot option at the shell level using
vms_bcfd boot add 1 -fl 0,0 ""
3. You didn't say how you got the OS onto the SAN disk, I assume that you booted the Media CD and installed directly from there.
If this is the case, then
a. boot the CD again.
b. Once you are up, check the devices, and if necessary run "sysman io auto/log"
c. set default to sys$manager, and run Boot_Options from there to create the boot option on $1$dga3:.
then shutdown and reboot to the boot manager.
If you could capture this session and post it, that would be helpful.
thanks
Dave.
