How to boot with Tru64 boot cd and start netowrk service

Hi, I want know if is possible on example DS20, boot with OS cd (4.0F or 5.1B) and start network service, for mount NFS share and restore OS that first I have created with rdump.

Hi,

Yes this is possible, I do it frequently.

When you first boot off the CD, you get an option to drop out to Unix...

When there you simply need to configure the relevant network card... For example:

# ifconfig tu0 192.168.1.1/24

You should then be able to mount the relevant NFS file systems.

Cheers,

Rob

The subnet mask is already there (/24 = 255.255.255.0)

Add a route with:

# route add default

# mount /dev/rrz0a /mnt
