|UVAX-II | Note B: |
| | According to Release Notes V4.5, SYSBOOT has changed, and it is no longer necessary to boot from TK50 with |
| | >>>B/20000. |
| | Note CC: |
| | By default the cpu will do a 'sniffer' boot, i.e. it will try to boot from any bootable device in the following |
| | order: DUA0,..., DUB0,...(removable then fixed diskS), MUA0 (TK50), MRV11 (special PROM board), XQA0 (DEQNA) |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 2000 | Note P: |
| | We can force the 2000 to boot by default from any device using the >>>TEST 51 option at the console prompt. This |
| | device will be used ONLY at power-up. With the >>>BOOT command it will do a 'sniffer' boot. |
| | Note Q: |
| | Names of 'device' are: DUA2,DUA0,DUA1,MUA0,ESA0. This is also the order the 'sniffer' boot will look for a boot device|
| | >>>TEST 52 will allow to set/change new default values for R5. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3200/ | Note J: |
| 3500/ | By defualt the cpu will do a 'sniffer' boot, i.e. it will try to boot from any bootable device, for bootable disk |
| 3600 | numbers they have to be in the range 0 - 15. |
| | We can force the cpu to boot directly from a device by typing >>>SET BOOT dev. 'dev' will be used ONLY at power-up, |
| | >>>BOOT will still do a sniffer boot. This is the behavior of VMB code used in V1.2 roms on the KA650 cpu module. |
| | >>>SET BFLG hex# will define the default value for R5. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3100 | Note R: |
| (PVAX) | The default factory boot device is ESA0. SET BOOT command will define another boot device. The 3100 doesn't use a |
| | a 'sniffer' boot but uses the device defined with SET BOOT or the default; valid devices: DKAn00,DKBn00,ESA0,MKAn00, |
| | MKBn00. |
| | >>>SET BFLG hex#, will define the default value for R5. |
| | |
|--------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3300/ | Note S: |
| 3400 | The 3300/3400 will boot off: ESA0, Default Boot device defined by SET BOOT ,or Device specified on the BOOT command. |
| | It doesn't use a 'sniffer' boot. >>>SET BFLAG hex# will define the default value for R5. |
| | Valid devices: [node$]DIAn,DUcn,DLcn,[node$]MIAn,MUcn,ESA0,XQcn,PRA0 |
| | Change nodename & alloclass: >>>SET HOST/DUP/DSSI n PARAMS, PARAMS>SET NODE name, PARAMS>SET ALLCLASS #, PARAMS>Write|
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3520/ | Note U: |
| 3540 | Valid device names are: DKA000, DKA100 - 700, ESA0, MUA0. Colon is optional. |
| | Note V: |
| | If no boot device is seleced, either as a parameter to the BOOT command, or with SET BOOT, the boot will fail. |
| | Use >>>SET BFLG hex# to change the default value for R5. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3800 | Note W: |
| | In its basic configuration, the 3800 has KFQSA, which is an interface between QBUS and DSSI, using RF type disks. |
| | Valid device names are: DUmn, MUmn, PRAn, XQAn. If no boot device selected with SET BOOT or with the BOOT |
| | command, it will display avaliable devices and wait for input. If no input within 30 second, it will try XQAn. |
| | Change node name & alloclass: >>>SET HOST/DUP/UQSSP/DISK n PARAMS, where 'n' is a disk # from >>>SHOW DEVICE. |
| | Use >>>SET BFLAG hex# to change the default value for R5. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3900 | Note X: |
| | It its basic configuration, the 3900 has only QBUS, using RA type disks. |
| | Valid device names are: DJmn, DUmn, MUmn, PRAn, XQAn. If no boot device selected with SET BOOT or with the BOOT |
| | command, it will display avaliable devices and wait for input. If no input within 30 second, it will try XQAn. |
| | Use >>>SET BFLAG hex# to change the default value for R5. |
| | |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 4000 | Note Y: |
| | Valid boot devices: [node$]DImn, DUcn, Mucn, PRAn, EZA0, XQan. RA disks on KDA50 and RF disks on KFQSA need to be |
| | addressed as DUcn. If no boot device selected with SET BOOT or with the BOOT command, it will display avaliable |
| | devices and wait for input. If no input within 30 second, it will try EZA0. >>>SET BFLAG hex#, wil define the |
| | default value for R5. Do: >>>SET HOST/DUP/DSSI/BUS:n node# PARAMS Where bus# and node# are determined from |
| | >>>SHOW DSSI & PARAMS>SET ALLOCLASS n & PARAMS>SET NODE name, to change alloclass & node name on dssi devices |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| 3000- | Note AA: |
| 310 | The VAXft can have up to four (4) boot path defined to increase the likehood of successful boot despite hardware |
| (VAXft)| faults. The controller letter is defined base on the zone & slot # in backplane, e.g. i/o module in slot 2 in zone-A|
| | will have a controller letter of A, in zone-B it is F, See Owner's Manual. To create a 'name' to boot using >>>B |
| | use: >>>SET[/P] BOOT DEFAULT/... SET[/P] BOOT command can be used to define other 'names' for different boots e.g. |
| | conversational boot, 'name' is up to 4 char, DEFAULT is a special case. |
