BSetting Up and Performing Network Booting  



For operating system upgrades only, OpenVMS I64 Version 8.2-1 supports booting from a virtual DVD drive on the local area network (LAN) using OpenVMS I64 InfoServer software. This provides the additional advantage of allowing a network administrator to boot multiple systems on the network from a single copy of the distribution kit.

As discussed in InfoServer Booting from OpenVMS I64 Systems, booting from the InfoServer for OpenVMS I64 on Integrity servers requires several configuration steps unique to OpenVMS I64. Any configuration procedures performed for network booting from an OpenVMS Alpha system using the InfoServer hardware are not valid for OpenVMS I64 systems.

This appendix explains the necessary steps to perform to enable your system to boot over the LAN using the OpenVMS I64 InfoServer software. It also describes how to boot the virtual DVD drive from the network.
