8. Configure and Validate Boot Options (Integrity servers only): On OpenVMS Integrity
servers installations, the procedure next asks whether you want to create or validate boot
options.
Boot options in the EFI Boot Manager boot option menu can provide a
convenient way to boot your system. The installation procedure can
automatically create a new boot option (if none exists) or validate
existing boot options.
Do you want to create or validate boot options? (Yes/No) [Yes] YES
If your newly installed system disk will normally be booted on this system and this device,
and if you want the installation procedure to assist you in setting up or validating boot
options on the EFI console in the EFI Boot Manager menu, answer YES. The installation
procedure creates and validates a new boot option if one does not exist, or validates existing
boot options, just before the installation completes (see step 22).
When you answer YES and no boot option exists, the procedure allows you to set OpenVMS
boot flags (VMS_FLAGS), as shown in the following example. Enter the OpenVMS flags
(for example, 0,1), or press Enter to set no flags (the default). If a boot option exists, you can
change boot flags after the installation completes (for information about changing boot flags,
see Section B.5.2 (page 205)).
You can set VMS_FLAGS or accept the default, 0,0.
Enter the value for VMS_FLAGS: (n,n) [0,0]
If you do not want the installation procedure to assist you in setting up or validating boot
options on the EFI console, answer NO.
HP recommends that you allow the installation procedure to assist you in setting up and
validating boot options.
NOTE: If your newly installed system disk is a Fibre Channel device, HP recommends
that you add it as a boot option in the EFI boot menu. If you do not allow the installation
procedure to add the device to the boot menu, you can add it by using the OpenVMS Integrity
servers Boot Manager utility (SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS.COM) after the installation
completes. (To add Fibre Channel devices to the EFI boot menu, use the OpenVMS Integrity
servers Boot Manager utility instead of EFI.)
HP recommends using the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager utility to add shadowed
system disks in a multiple-member shadow set to the EFI boot device list and dump device
list. Be sure to add all members to both lists.
For information about the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager utility, see Section B.5.2
(page 205). For more information about configuring and booting Fibre Channel devices, see
Appendix E (page 289).
9. Specify SYSTEM Account Information (Initialized Disks Only): If you are initializing the
target disk, you are prompted for SYSTEM account information. Before you respond to the
prompt asking you to enter a password for the SYSTEM account, note the following:
• Passwords must be at least 8 characters in length (but must not exceed 31 characters).
Valid characters for the password include A through Z, 0 through 9, the dollar sign ($),
and underscore (_). Passwords must contain at least one alphabetic character (A through
