Burning DVD form ISO VMS 8.3
Is there a procedure to convert the iso so it will boot. If I do an LD connect on the ISO I can mount it with mount/medi=cdrom but it will not do a mount/over=id.

Re: Burning DVD form ISO VMS 8.3
How did you manage to put the data into the ISO-container?
If this is been done on a PC and you are using a PC-filesystem (ISO9660 or something similar) you cannot boot on a IA64 machine because it needs a special partition called GPT where vms_loader.efi is located in.
I'm sure you'll find on Hoff's homepage more details.

Re: Burning DVD form ISO VMS 8.3
Bootable VMS discs do not contain (simple)
ISO 9660 file systems. You can make an image
of one, but calling it an "iso" doesn't mean
that it really is one. (ISO is, of course, a
standards organization, not a CD/DVD disc
format. "http://www.iso.org".)
> [...] created with poweriso, [...]
About which I know nothing, but the obvious
questions would be, "Starting from what?" and
"How, exactly?". And if "poweriso" does only
ISO 9660 file systems, then I'd guess that
it's doomed in this situation.
> I am having problems booting it [...]
Probably because it's junk.
> Is there a procedure to convert the iso
> [...]
Probably depends on what's in it, which
probably depends on how it was made, and from
what, but it seeems unlikely that there's any
simple way to do it.

Sounds like a real ISO 9660 image, but that's
not what VMS installation kits are.
The first question, obviously, would be, "Why
are you doing any of this"?

One simple way to extract an image of the DVD
would be:
mount /foreign dvd_device:
copy dvd_device: image_file
Might go faster with something like this
first:
SET RMS_DEFAULT /EXTEND_QUANTITY = 32768
Or use readcd from the cdrtools package, or
my qreadcd:

On GNU/Linux, use "dd". On Windows, ask
someone who knows.
> [...] and then ftped.
Binary FTP, as with any such file.

Re: Burning DVD form ISO VMS 8.3
write it to a DVD using some program which
does nothing other than write it to the DVD,
not some Clever-Dick program which believes
that it understands the content and "fixes"
it for you as it goes. (I use cdrecord, part
of that cdrtools package, but I assume that
your DVD writer is not installed in a VMS
system. The fact that I need to _assume_
anything should tell you something, too.)

Re: Burning DVD form ISO VMS 8.3
Start over.
I'd suggest use of CDBurnerXP Pro or other such tool; the various well-known commercial Windows CD and DVD tools DO NOT WORK with OpenVMS volume structures. Until proven otherwise, always assume that the Windows CD and DVD tools DO NOT WORK with OpenVMS disk. This from direct personal experience with these tools. (I've encountered very well-known Windows programs that were quite simply entirely broken.)
Better yet, get yourself a real HP OpenVMS distro DVD disk set.
As for general reading material:
http://64.223.189.234/node/820
http://64.223.189.234/node/28
Ask your HP reseller or representative why HP doesn't have correctly-formatted OpenVMS DVD disk images available for download, too. That would increase the relative likelihood of success here, too, as roughly half of the problem space is in the image creation.

Definitely start over trying to get a good .iso file.

Re: Burning DVD form ISO VMS 8.3
I have asked for the copy to be Fedex, it appears the image created was bad from the start.
