Thanks ...

My intentions are to change the iLO IP address to be accessable from my 
internal network, then after looking at what is there, get VMS V8l.4 2L3 
and the latest TCP/IP, install on system disk, and clear the other 
disks.  Currently has a RAID set-up, but I will do away with that. 
Perhaps remove most of the disk drives, unless I can shut them off while 
still installed in the box.

One system disk, one disk for backup of system, and one disk with VMS 
distribution image.  Should be all I need.
