1749.0. "How to Remote boot a DEFPA-DA over FDDI?" by HLTIC4::GIELTJES_R () Tue Jul 18 1995 04:21

Hallo,

I have a DEFPA-DA (PCI/FDDI) in a AXP 2100 server /A500MP 2/233 
OpenVMS V6.2 and Firmware V3.11-9

What is the "BOOT COMMAND" to boot this 2100-500 over FDDI?
     
Thanks

    I believe it's "NOT SUPPORTED".  You should check your OpenVMS
    documentation and release notes, but I'm fairly certain that network
    boots over DEFPA are not yet supported.

Correct, its not supported.  The console allegedly has support for it but
the boot driver did not make V6.2.  Its planned for a subsequent release
of VMS.
