1749.0. "How to Remote boot a DEFPA-DA over FDDI?" by HLTIC4::GIELTJES_R () Tue Jul 18 1995 05:21

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

	>>What is the "BOOT COMMAND" to boot this 2100-500 over FDDI? 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. /l

	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. - Dick
