Booting with an Alternate Site-Independent
Startup Procedure ![]()
The default
system startup procedure is SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM. HP recommends
you do not modify STARTUP.COM. However, in special environments,
you might want the system to perform special startup commands. The
conversational boot lets you specify that the system temporarily
use an alternate startup procedure.
You can also perform site-specific startup events by adding commands to the site-specific startup command procedures. For more information, see Modifying Site-Specific Startup Command Procedures.
SYSBOOT>SHOW/STARTUP
If the startup file specified as file-spec does not exist, the system displays the following message:SYSBOOT>SET/STARTUP SYS$SYSTEM:XSTARTUP.COM
Error opening primary input file SYS$INPUT File not foundCheck the file name you entered. Make sure you specified it correctly.
SYSBOOT>SHOW/STARTUP
SYSBOOT>CONTINUE
To make your alternate site-independent startup procedure the default startup procedure, see Specifying an Alternate Default Startup Command Procedure.
SYSBOOT>SHOW/STARTUPStartup command file = SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COMSYSBOOT>SET/STARTUP SYS$SYSTEM:XSTARTUP.COMSYSBOOT>SHOW/STARTUPStartup command file = SYS$SYSTEM:XSTARTUP.COMSYSBOOT>CONTINUE
Specifying an Alternate Default Startup Command
Procedure ![]()
The default
system startup procedure is SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM. However, in
special environments, you might want the system to perform special
startup commands. If you frequently require a startup command procedure
other than SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM, you can specify that the alternate
procedure be used by default.
STARTUP = "SYS$SYSTEM:MY_STARTUP.COM"
$EDIT SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT. . . [Insert the following line in MODPARAMS.DAT:]STARTUP = "SYS$SYSTEM:MY_STARTUP.COM". . .$@SYS$SYSTEM:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS REBOOT
Booting with Minimum Startup ![]()
In special
cases, you might want to boot your system without performing the
full sequence of startup events. For example, if a startup event
prevents you from logging in, you might want to boot the system
without executing the startup, so that you can log in and fix the
problem.
When you boot with minimum startup, the system starts only the components that are absolutely required to run the system. These tasks can vary between different releases of the operating system.
When you boot with minimum startup, the CONFIGURE process
is not created. If external devices are needed on this boot, add
the following line to SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM:$IF P1 .NES. "FULL" THEN @SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP CONFIGURE |
SYSBOOT>SET STARTUP_P1 "MIN"
SYSBOOT>CONTINUE
$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMANSYSMAN>PARAMETERS USE CURRENTSYSMAN>PARAMETERS SET STARTUP_P1 ""SYSMAN>PARAMETERS WRITE CURRENT
[perform a conversational boot]SYSBOOT>SET STARTUP_P1 "MIN"SYSBOOT>CONTINUE[system completes booting]Username:[Return]Password:[Return]$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMANSYSMAN>PARAMETERS USE CURRENTSYSMAN>PARAMETERS SET STARTUP_P1 ""SYSMAN>PARAMETERS WRITE CURRENT
| If you boot with minimum startup with the VAXCLUSTER
system parameter set to 0, the only HSC or DSSI devices that will
be accessible will be the boot device and then only if the boot device
is controlled by an HSC or a DSSI controller. To make HSC and DSSI devices accessible, perform one of the following actions:

Booting While Displaying Startup Procedure
Commands ![]()
In some cases--for
example, when you are trying to test a startup command procedure,
or when troubleshooting startup problems--it is helpful
to display the startup commands as they are executed.
SYSBOOT>SET STARTUP_P2 "YES"
SYSBOOT>CONTINUE
$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMANSYSMAN>PARAMETERS USE CURRENTSYSMAN>PARAMETERS SET STARTUP_P2 ""SYSMAN>PARAMETERS WRITE CURRENT

Displaying Startup Procedure Commands with
SYSMAN ![]()
In addition
to performing a conversational boot to display startup procedures,
you can use SYSMAN to display startup status with the STARTUP SET
OPTIONS command. The advantage of using SYSMAN is that you can obtain
verification and logging for multiple nodes at a time.
SYSMAN startup logging redefines STARTUP_P2 to specify:
The STARTUP SET OPTIONS command provides the options shown in Startup Logging Options.
$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
Qualifiers can be any of the options specified in Startup Logging Options. These options take effect the next time you boot the system.SYSMAN>STARTUP SET OPTIONS/[qualifier]
This example requests startup logging with:$RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMANSYSMAN>STARTUP SET OPTIONS/VERIFY=FULL/OUTPUT=FILE/CHECKPOINTING
To show the current startup options, enter the following command:
For more information, refer to the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual.SYSMAN>STARTUP SHOW OPTIONS
