3.8 Booting OpenVMS

OpenVMS can be booted from a CD-ROM on a local drive (the CD-ROM drive connected to
the system) or from a CD-ROM drive on the InfoServer.

3.8.1 Booting OpenVMS from the Local CD-ROM Drive

Example 3-11 shows a boot from a CD-ROM on a local drive. The example is abbreviated. For
complete instructions on booting OpenVMS, see the OpenVMS installation document.
Perform the following tasks before booting an OpenVMS system:
1. Power up the system. The system stops at the SRM console prompt P00>>>.
2. Set boot environment variables, as described in Section 3.5.
3. Install the boot medium. For a network boot, see Section 3.8.2.
4. Enter the show device command
device.
5. Enter the boot command and command line parameters (if you have not set the associated
environment variables). In Example 3-11, the boot command with the –flags option
causes the system to boot from [SYS0.EXE] on device DKA0.
