booting from san disk
I have recently started working on Openvms 8.3 version. Actually i want to copy the contents of systemdisk to san disk (basically backup). Now have only 2 disks (system disk & san disk, but both are of diff sizes).
some queries...
1> Is it necessary that san disk should be of the same size as that of system disk?
2> suggest me how do I backup the system disk to san disk? what are the steps need to be done before the backup?
3> How do I boot with the san disk?
Please suggest me...

Re: booting from san disk
you can use BACKUP/IMAGE to copy your system disk to the SAN disk - as long as the size of your SAN disk is bigger than the used portion of your system disk.
$ MOUNT/FOR $1$DGAx: ! your SAN disk
$ BACKUP/IMAGE your-system-disk $1$DGAx:
You might want to do this standalone, i.e. after booting from the OpenVMS CD or DVD - what is the architecture of your system: Alpha or I64 ?
The answer about booting from your SAN disk depends on your architecture.
With Alpha, you need to set up a boot path on the console with WWIDMGR. On I64, you can use @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.

Re: booting from san disk
Architecture of my system is IA64.
Actually I have been given the iso image and the task is that to "get the OS loaded on the SAN disk FROM the iso image.". I am using c7000 HP enclosure with iLO2 (Integrated Lights-outs 2).
So do i need mount the iso image from the top bar option "virtual media" of the iLO2?

Re: booting from san disk
We used HPsim and installed from vmedia (an ISO image on the local PC). It worked fine and is supposed to be 'the choice' for installation of OpenVMS I64 onto blade systems.
You'll find the documentation in appendis C of the OpenVMS V8.3-1H1 for Integrity Servers Upgrade and Installation Manual
OpenVMS documentation is available at:

Re: booting from san disk
Where does this error message come from:
'CreateMemorydisk' not found104 bytes
Exit status code: Invalid Parameter
Just a result from the ls command ? Then I would seriously doubt the contents of the .ISO file.
Log a call with HP to get further help.

Re: booting from san disk
Can you successfully execute the VMS_SHOW command ?
