[Info-vax] Migrating OpenVMS to a Fiber Channel storage device.

[Jerome Ibanes]

Our ES47 currently has two fiber channel cards, as such:

P00>>>show dev
dkc0.0.0.1.2               DKC0              COMPAQ BF14689BC5  HPB1
dkc100.1.0.1.2             DKC100            COMPAQ BF14689BC5  HPB1
dqa0.0.0.2.2               DQA0                     DW-224E- A  A.SD
ega0.0.0.3.1               EGA0              00-10-18-10-00-F6
egb0.0.0.4.1               EGB0              00-10-18-10-00-78
pga0.0.0.1.0               PGA0        WWN 1000-0000-c945-3594
pgb0.0.0.1.1               PGB0        WWN 1000-0000-c945-350e
pka0.7.0.2.1               PKA0                  SCSI Bus ID 7
pkb0.7.0.102.1             PKB0                  SCSI Bus ID 7
pkc0.7.0.1.2               PKC0                  SCSI Bus ID 7

The system runs OpenVMS 8.4 from dkc0 (HP 146GB at 15k drive), my goal would
be to "copy" the contents of this block device to a lun of an equal size
on the (netapp) SAN.

Would there be an easier alternative to boot from a SAN (I imagine 
installing OpenVMS directly to a SAN isn't an option but please correct 
me if I'm wrong).


Cheers,
Jerome
