I have a Bootable Standalone backup kit on a TK50 tape.
SHO DEV at th monitor says TZ30 is MKA500
Need help with he command string to boot into
Standalone backup off the TZ30 so we can restore to the RZ26 from the TZ85.
B /r5:e MKA500: ?
I don't have a cd or drive available on this system to boot from the distribution media. Search of the VMS wizard and other thread here was fruitless.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Re: Need help booting Stand alone backup from tape.
Another thing it tells me is that the boot root is encoded in the upper 4 bits of R5, so that would be:
>>> boot /r5:e0000000 DEVICE

Re: Need help booting Stand alone backup from tape.
Welcome to the VMS forum!
Yes, Art is completely right.
Be aware, that you will need A LOT of patience!
Booting from tape is REAL slow, and TZ30 is just about the slowest (apart from TU58, that is).
(And I DO hope you have a recent image backup of your previous RZ26).
Success, and patience!
Proost.
Have one on me.

Solutionwelcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum.
You should be able to directly boot the standalone backup tape. Just tested it on a CHARON-VAX 4000-108:
$ @SYS$UPDATE:STABACKIT $3$MUA0:
...
>>>b mua0
(BOOT/R5:0 MUA0)
2..
-MUA0
1..0..

Re: Need help booting Stand alone backup from tape.
Worked like a champ. STABCKIT loaded from TZ30 in about 110 minutes and the image is coming off TZ85 as I type.
My thanks to all that responded.

Re: Need help booting Stand alone backup from tape.
Funny how the mind works ... I "saw" the 0's but clearly didn't "read" them.
Cheers,
