You can install or upgrade the OpenVMS Alpha operating system
or you can install or upgrade layered products that are included
on the OpenVMS Alpha operating system CD-ROM.
You can also execute DCL commands and procedures to perform
"standalone" tasks, such as backing up the system disk.
Please choose one of the following:
1) Upgrade, install or reconfigure OpenVMS Alpha Version V7.2
2) Display products and patches that this procedure can install
3) Install or upgrade layered products and patches
4) Show installed products
5) Reconfigure installed products
6) Remove installed products
7) Execute DCL commands and procedures
8) Shut down this system

Show device displays information about each I/O device. Polling checks
the DWLPB for device configurations. The next line contains four columns.
The first column contains the device type and unit number, node number,
device channel number, the internal PCI node number, and I/O channel
number, separated by periods. The second column displays the name of the
device given by the device controller. The third column shows the device
type, and the fourth column shows the revision of the device. The CD drive
in this case is the RRD47 and its mnemonic is DKD500.
In the boot command, -flags indicates that additional command
parameters follow, 0 is the system root of the boot device, 0 is the bootstrap
option, dk is the device code of the boot device, b is the boot device controller
designation, and 500 specifies the hexadecimal unit number of the boot
device. The 5 is the node number, 0 is the channel number, 5 is the PCI
node number, and 0 is the I/O channel number.
The system boots OpenVMS from the CD-ROM.
The operating system banner appears.
Example 8-7 shows that several choices can be made when booting OpenVMS in
this manner. Make the appropriate choice and continue. (Note that by choosing
option 7, Execute DCL commands and procedures, you can back up your system
disk. Standalone backup is replaced by this method of booting OpenVMS.)
