after the upgrade 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 procedure to assist you in setting up or validating boot options on the
EFI console, answer NO.
HP recommends that you allow the procedure to assist you in setting up and validating boot
options.
NOTE: If your newly upgraded 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 upgrade 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 upgrade completes. (To add
Fibre Channel devices to the EFI boot menu, you must use this 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).
6.3.9 Warning About Removal of the DECRAM Command
When upgrading from versions of OpenVMS prior to 8.3, the procedure displays a message
similar to the following that warns you that the DCL command DECRAM is being removed to
prevent conflict with the DECRYPT command:
Beginning with OpenVMS V8.3, the DCL commands ENCRYPT and DECRYPT
are provided as part of OpenVMS.
Because "DECRYPT" conflicts with the existing command "DECRAM",
this upgrade will remove the DECRAM command.
If you use the command DECRAM interactively or in command
procedures, please see the release notes for more information.
The DECRYPT command (introduced with OpenVMS Version 8.3) overwrites the default
definition of DECR, which you might have been using to run DECram. You should update any
command procedures that use the DECRAM command so that they use the foreign command
style of DCL to run DECram:
$ DECRAM == "$MDMANAGER"
This change affects only the use of the DCL command; all other aspects of the DECram product
remain the same.
6.3.10 Setting OpenVMS Cluster Membership Information
The procedure now asks whether your system will be part of an OpenVMS Cluster. For example:
Will this system be a member of an OpenVMS Cluster? (Yes/No)
If you answer YES to this question, the procedure will ask whether your system will use IP for
Cluster Communications.
Will this system use IP for Cluster Communications ? (Yes/No)
If the system being upgraded is member of an existing cluster, answering YES to this question
causes the SYS$MANAGER:CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM procedure to run automatically when your
upgraded system is first booted. However, correct cluster membership information is required
