I called HP support, and apparently they're staffed a little to thin on the weekends to know the answer.
I have other options, but if I could mount the USB hard drive while the system is booted to the OpenVMS OE DVD, it would be a lot easier.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionAssuming OpenVMS I64 V8.3, cable up the drive and (assuming that does not bring the drive on-line by itself) first try the SYSMAN command:
IO AUTO ALL
Should that not bring a DN device online, then try invoking SYS$STARTUP:USB$STARTUP and (if needed) repeating the IO AUTO ALL command.

Re: USB HD from OpenVMS OE DVD
Once you would have USB$UCM_SERVER running, plug in the USB device. Then
UCM> SHOW DEV/UNCONF
UCM> ADD DEV DNc0: (as shown by above command)
Then unplug and plugin the USB device again. This worked for me on a normally booted OpenVMS I64 V8.2 system.

Re: USB HD from OpenVMS OE DVD
When you drop into the "$$$" DCL from the 8.3 distribution media, and try @sys$startup:usb$startup, you get an
Unable to create file sys$startup:usb$run_ucm_server.com
becuase the system disk is writelocked.
Not sure why they don't precreate this file since all it is is: run sys$system:ucm$usb_server
I'm trying to do this as part of a new DR method to make it very easy for a not super-experienced vms person to recover systems:
1) boot off distribution
2) drop to dcl
3) mount usb flash drive with dr scripts
4) run scripts...
I guess now I will have to remaster the distribution (PITA), or provide my own method to start this process (PITA). yeesh.

Re: USB HD from OpenVMS OE DVD
The easy approach is to remaster a kit to meet your requirements; that's trivial. I've posted instructions for that stuff.

Lob an enhancement request at HP for V8.4; it would be nice if this worked.

Re: USB HD from OpenVMS OE DVD
Thanks, I guess I will remaster, it's just one more thing to keep up to date though. I will make an imporvment req. too, since it's simple for them to fix.
