How would you go about installing OpenVMS 8.3 on an Itegrity (RX4640) server that was once had RHAS 3.0 on it?? The server was bought with OpenVMS 8.2 (at the time), and I had to installed RHAS for testing and now I would like to install the original OS that came with the server.
Should I call HP for support in this case??
Thank you in advance.
Jorge

If so boot it and off you go. It's all beautifully described in the fine manual.

SolutionIf you can get to the EFI shell of the system (with the VMS installation DVD present), you can select one of the FSx: devices present, and execute the boot program yourself.
Something like:
Shell> fs0:
fs0:\> ls
Directory of: fs0:\
07/14/06 02:01p
0 File(s) 0 bytes
1 Dir(s)
fs0:\> cd efi
fs0:\EFI> ls
Directory of: fs0:\EFI
07/14/06 02:01p
07/14/06 02:01p
07/14/06 02:01p
07/14/06 02:01p
0 File(s) 0 bytes
4 Dir(s)
fs0:\EFI> cd boot
fs0:\EFI\BOOT> ls
Directory of: fs0:\EFI\BOOT
07/14/06 02:01p
07/14/06 02:01p
07/14/06 02:01p 3,945,984 IPB.EXE
07/14/06 02:01p 1,173,504 BOOTIA64.EFI
07/14/06 02:01p 317,440 VMS_BCFG.EFI
07/14/06 02:01p
07/14/06 02:01p 290,816 VMS_SET.EFI
07/14/06 02:01p 287,744 VMS_SHOW.EFI
07/14/06 02:01p 887,296 VMS_SPCFG.EFI
6 File(s) 6,902,784 bytes
3 Dir(s)
Select BOOTIA64.EFI (if I'm not mistaken).
Good luck,
Kris (aka Qkcl)

Re: Installing OpenVMS 8.3 on Integrity (RX4640) server - Help!
could it be that the boot manager timeout value is set to ZERO and the Linux system boots immediately, so that you can't enter the EFI boot manager menu ?
If so, try typing CTRL-C ? Or remove the linux disk ?

Re: Installing OpenVMS 8.3 on Integrity (RX4640) server - Help!
Looks like I'm half way done installing the OpenVMS OS. I can't wait to see what this server can do vs. the ES40 that we're currently using.
Thanks everyone for coming to my rescue.
Happy Holidays!!
