Preface

Intended Audience

This manual is for service providers, managers and operators of Compaq AlphaServer DS 10, AlphaServer DS10L, and AlphaStati on DS10 systems.

Document Structure

This manual uses a structured documentation design. Topics are organized into small sections, usually consisting of two facing pages. Most topics begin with an abstract that provides an overview of the section, followed by an illustration or example. The facing page contains descriptions, procedures, and syntax definitions.

This manual has three chapters, two appendices, and an index:

• Chapter 1, Operations, provides basic operating instructions, including

powering up the system, booting, and operating system installation.

• Chapter 2, SRM and AlphaBIOS Consoles, presents the command-line

interface that supports the Tru64 UNIX and OpenVMS operating systems and the graphical interface that supports some utility programs. The SRM console is used to bootstrap the operating system, configure and test the system hardware, examine system options for errors, and set or change environment variables. AlphaBIOS is used to run utilities.

• Chapter 3, Remote Management Console, describes how to manage the

system from a remote location.

• Appendix A, Setting System Jumpers, describes how to check and reset

if necessary the Halt/Reset select jumper and remote management console jumper.

• Appendix B, Regulatory Compliance Notices, contains regulatory

compliance notices for this computer system.

Conventions

In examples of SRM console output, commands the user enters are presented in boldface type, while the system’s output is in regular type. Comments on the

examples are either called out with circled numbers (➊➋➌) or are preceded by a pound sign (#) and are given in boldface italics.

Revision levels, dates and devices listed in examples are for example only; your results may vary according to the configuration of your system.

NOTE: In many ways DS10 and DS10L systems are identical. This manual

uses DS10 systems for most illustrations and examples; DS10 screen examples may have more devices shown than equivalent DS10L screens, and other minor differences may appear. Where significant differences exist, an illustration or example of a DS10L is presented separately.

Chapter 1

Operations

This chapter provides basic operating instructions, including powering up the system, booting, and operating system installation. Note that your choice of operating system has already been installed at the factory; this information is provided so that should you decide to change operating systems, you may. It also provides information about updating firmware.

Sections in this chapter are:

• Powering Up the System

• Power-Up Display

• Booting Tru64 UNIX

• Installing Tru64 UNIX

• Booting OpenVMS

• Installing OpenVMS

• Switching Between Operating Systems

• Updating Firmware

• Using the Halt Button

• Halt Assertion

NOTE: In many ways the DS10 and DS10L systems are identical. This

manual uses DS10 systems for most illustrations and examples. Where significant differences exist, an illustration or example of a DS10L is presented separately.

Operations 1-1

1.1 Powering Up the System

To power up the system, check your power setting (DS10 only), then press the On/Off button ❶ to the On position. Check the control panel LEDs. See Figure 1–1 and Figure 1–2 for the DS10, and Figure 1–3 for the DS10L.

1.2 Power-Up Display

DS10 systems have four physical PCI slots; the DS10L system has one, hence the different power-up displays shown below.

Testing begins after pressing the On/Off button, and screen text similar to that in Example 1–1 displays (if the console terminal is a serial terminal connected to the COM1 port), along with status messages in the control panel display. If the console terminal is a graphics monitor, only the last few lines of the power-up display print.

If the auto_action environment variable is set to boot or restart and the os_type environment variable is set to unix or openvms, the Tru64 UNIX or OpenVMS operating system boots.

See Section 2.18 for information on environment variables. See Chapter 2 for SRM console and AlphaBIOS information.

➊

The show device command displays device information, including name and type of connection to the system. See Section 2.3.2 for a description of the show device command and the device naming convention.

➋ The operating system is on the third disk connected to the system

through the controller in slot 3 of the PCI. The name of this device, dkc0, is used as an argument to the boot command.

➌

This command loads Tru64 UNIX from the disk dkc0, using the boot file vmunix and autobooting to multiuser mode. See Section 2.5 for a description of the boot command.

The boot command accepts the name of a boot device, a boot file name through the -file option, and boot flags through the -flags option. The environment variables bootdef_dev, boot_file, and boot_osflags can also be used to specify the default boot device or device list, the default boot file, and flag information. When an option and the corresponding environment variable are both in a command string, the option overrides the environment variable. The value of the environment variable, however, is not changed. See Section 2.18 for information about environment variables.
