Booting DEC OSF/1 or OpenVMS Operating Systems
The operating system, if supplied, is installed on the system disk.
•
For more information on preinstalled DEC OSF/1 software, see the DEC OSF/1 AXP
Factory Installed Software user information card.
•
For more information on preinstalled OpenVMS software, see the OpenVMS Factory
Installed Software user information card.
When the system is shipped with DEC OSF/1 or OpenVMS software installed, the system
default settings cause the system to boot from the system disk automatically after it
successfully completes the startup tests. You can change these settings if, for example, you
want the system to halt at the console prompt (>>>) after it completes the startup tests.
DEC OSF/1 and OpenVMS System Defaults
The DEC OSF/1 and OpenVMS operating systems use default settings to tell the system
where the operating system is located and how to boot the system. When the system is
shipped, these default settings cause the system to boot from the system disk. You can set
different default settings if, for example, you want to boot the operating system from a
different device. See "set" in Table 4-1, "Basic SRM Console Commands."
