[Info-vax] image backup on itanium

[Volker Halle]

Hans,

as far as I understand, you MUST add a new boot entry on the console. Or use the EFI console prompt and find the correct fs: device and run vms_loader.efi.

The easyist way is to boot from the V8.4 DVD, mount your new disk (DKB200:) and then use @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS to add a new boot entry for that disk.

>From the OpenVMS Upgrade and Installation Manual:

NOTE: All EFI boot options embed the disk Globally Unique ID (GUID). Therefore, if you reinstall OpenVMS or restore a system disk from an image backup, you must first delete the old boot options and then add a new boot option. To delete a boot option, use the Delete Boot Option(s) option in the Boot Configuration menu (or Boot Option Maintenance Menu). 

Good luck,

Volker.
