Boot OpenVMS Itanium.

[Jose Jorge C A Reis]

Yes, I see.

[Ian Miller.]

Does
fs0:
cd fs0:\efi\boot
bootia64.efi

boot the CD?

[Antoniov.]

I have fs1. The volumes are:
#####
fs1:\efi\vms> vms_show device -fs
VMS: DQA0 IDE Drive
EFI: fs0: Acpi(000222F0,0)/Pci(2|0)/Ata(Primary,Master)

This is a CD-ROM drive after map -r command. If there is a VMS upgrade CD/DVD in it you can find vms loader at fs0:\efi\boot\bootia64.efi file.


VMS: DKA0 HP 73.4GATLAS10K3_73_SCAHP05
EFI: fs1: Acpi(000222F0,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)

This is the first HD. There is a VMS file system on it because you find \efi\vms directory on it.


VMS: DKA100 HP 73.4GATLAS10K3_73_SCAHP05
EFI: fs3: Acpi(000222F0,100)/Pci(1|0)/Scsi(Pun1,Lun0)

This is the second HD.
On both HD, if there is a VMS file system you should see fs:\efi\vms directory. VMS file system doesn't mean you can boot vms. The vms boot loader is fs:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi

I guess your bootable HD is fs1:
You can check for this issuing follow command
EFI>dir -b -r fs1:\*.efi

Jose,
it seems to me you have OpenVMS installed on fs1: and that's a bootable volume.
You see vms_loader.efi in directory fs1:\efi\vms so you simply 'should boot' with follow command:
EFI>fs1:\efi\vms\vms_loader.efi
What does happen after you issued above command?
You could also supply all theese commands:
EFI>fs1:
EFI>cd \efi\vms
EFI>vms_loader

If you can't boot may be you have some hardware trouble :-(

Antonio,

I executed this I command but I do not have no reply. After the command the server does not answer.

[Antoniov.]

I'm afraid you have an hardware failure :-(
Can you boot from CD-ROM as Ian posted on november 8th?

[Jose Jorge C A Reis]

No, I can´t boot.

Please tell us the model of Integrity system you are using, and which console port you are connected to.

What revision of firmware is installed on the system?

Also, check the console configuration in the Boot Configuration menu. If the console port you are connected to is disabled in the menu, you won't see any output from VMS.
