Boot

[Volker Halle]

Mulder,

if there is no [SYS0], someone must have removed it. Just use ONE of your systems to upgrade that disk.

All the OpenVMS operating system files are present in the [VMS$COMMON...] directory tree and they will be updated. Files in the specific roots are node-specific files and do not need to be updated.

The upgrade will check for OpenVMS system files in a specific root, which should NOT be there and warn you appropriately.

Volker.

Look into all of the [sys*] roots. You will see a syscommon.dir in all of them, these are alias for the common [vms$system].

There is nothing specific to [sys0], it is just another nodes root, and need not be there, and will not be created by an upgrade.

Make sense....

i'm keeping the thread open ....will let you know the findings..


Thanks

It's not uncommon to omit [SYS0] in a shared disk cluster. It just makes it a little less likely that you boot a system off the wrong root when you have the 'default' root missing.
