22. Installation Creates and Validates Boot Options (Integrity servers only): At this point in

an OpenVMS Integrity servers installation, the procedure creates and validates boot options
if you chose to have the procedure do so (see

step 8

).

If you answered NO in step 8, the following message is displayed:

If there is an existing boot option that was used to boot this
system disk, you may be able to use it. Otherwise, you will have
to use the EFI Shell the first time that you boot the newly
installed system. After booting, use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager
to create a Boot Option. To do this log in to a privileged
account and execute this command:

$ @SYS$MANAGER:BOOT_OPTIONS

The procedure then informs you that the installation is complete and prompts you to
press Return (Enter) to continue, at which point it returns you to the OpenVMS main
menu. You can select option 8 (“Execute DCL commands and procedures”) on the
OpenVMS main menu and enter the command at the DCL triple dollar sign prompt
($$$) to start the OpenVMS Integrity servers Boot Manager utility.

If you answered YES in step 8, the installation procedure determines whether a boot
entry already exists for the system disk (in this example, DKB400:):
If an entry is found, a message similar to the following is displayed:

The EFI Boot Manager menu includes the following boot option(s)
for DKB400:

EFI Boot Options list: Timeout = 0 secs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
01. DKB400 PCI(0|20|1|0) Scsi(Pun1,Lun0) "OpenVMS on DKB400: PKA0.1"
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1 entries found.

In this example, one boot option is found. If multiple entries are found and if they
are all SCSI devices, the procedure displays the following message and then notifies
you that the installation is complete:

Please use the OpenVMS I64 Boot Manager to ensure that you
have a valid boot option for the system you have just installed.

When one entry is found, or when multiple Fibre Channel entries are found, the
procedure validates the boot options, as in the following example, in which the
found entry fails to boot and is then fixed and validated:
