Enter the BACKUP command in the following format:
$$$ BACKUP/IMAGE/VERIFY source-drive: target-drive: |
(You must also include the save set name and the /SAVE_SET qualifier if the source drive is a tape device.)
Example 1
In this example a backup disk and a target disk are mounted so the BACKUP command can restore the system disk from the backup disk:
$$$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA300 $$$ MOUNT/FOREIGN DKA200 $$$ BACKUP/IMAGE/VERIFY DKA300: DKA200: |
Example 2
In this example a backup tape and a target disk are mounted so the BACKUP command can restore the system disk from the backup tape:
$$$ MOUNT/FOREIGN MKA300 $$$ MOUNT/FOREIGN DKA200 $$$ BACKUP/IMAGE/VERIFY MKA300:APR_06_BACKUP.BCK/SAVE_SET DKA200: |
After you complete the restore operation:
This section describes an alternate method of performing backup and restore operations on your system disk. With this method, you install the operating system (without options) on another disk and perform your backup and restore operations on the system disk from there. Use this method under the following conditions:
It is also possible to back up your running system disk by using the qualifier /IGNORE=INTERLOCK with the BACKUP command and ignoring warning messages. However, that method requires that all other use of the system be suspended, including disabling logins, stopping print and batch queues, and turning off networking software. In addition, you cannot use this method to restore files to the running system disk. Because of these limitations, Compaq recommends that if you must use an alternate method to back up or restore the system disk, you use the method described in this section. |
Prepare an alternate system disk as follows:
$ MOUNT/OVERRIDE=IDENTIFICATION DKA200 |
$ @SYS$SYSTEM:AXPVMS$PCSI_INSTALL_MIN.COM [target-disk] |
DEC AXPVMS OPENVMS V7.3: OpenVMS and related products platform COPYRIGHT (c) 12-SEP-2001 -- All rights reserved Compaq Computer Corporation Execution phase starting ... The following product will be installed: DEC AXPVMS VMS V7.3 Portion Done: 0%...10%...20%...30%...40%...50%...60%...70%...80%...90%...100% The following product has been installed: DEC AXPVMS VMS V7.3 . . . The installation of minimum OpenVMS Alpha is now complete. Use the following command to boot minimum OpenVMS: BOOT -FLAGS E,O <device-name> (Your system may require additional parameters to boot.) |
If your system is a cluster member, Compaq recommends that you shut down the entire OpenVMS Cluster system before you back up your system disk. This will prevent you from creating a partitioned cluster and from jeopardizing the integrity of your data in any other way. |
Use the alternate system disk (on which you installed the operating system with no options) to perform backup and restore operations as follows:
>>> BOOT -FLAGS E,0 DKA200 |
During the boot and login operations on this minimum version of the operating system, you can ignore license messages that are similar to the following: |
%LICENSE-I-NOLICENSE, no license is active for this software product |
Compaq recommends that you do not install any other licenses, including OpenVMS licenses, on this alternate system. You will be able to use the system only from the console. |
This appendix contains information that supplements the license instructions in this manual and in the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
After you install the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating system, you must register
Compaq OpenVMS Alpha licenses, which let you use the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating
system. You must also register the licenses for the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha
layered products you have purchased, such as DECnet for OpenVMS. (Note
that after an upgrade, however, you do not have to reregister licenses
for the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha operating system or for the layered products.)
To register a license, you need to obtain a Product Authorization Key
(PAK). A PAK is a printed document provided by Compaq that contains the
appropriate information to authorize access to software on an Alpha
computer (or in an OpenVMS Cluster environment). You can obtain a PAK
from a Compaq support representative in the same way as you obtain
software.
C.1 Using the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT)
Many PAKs contain a table name in the availability or activity fields. This name refers to a column in the License Unit Requirement Table (LURT), which is shown in Table C-1. Column A in the LURT indicates the number of license units required for each processor listed in the System Marketing Model column. Column H refers to layered products you may choose to register as well. For example, if your PAK specifies availability = A, you would require 50 license units to load the license on a DEC 3000 Alpha Model 500 series computer, or 500 license units to load the license on a DEC 7000 Alpha Model 610 computer.
Note that some PAKs specify MOD_UNITS in the options field. The MOD_UNITS option allows the system manager to use the DCL command LICENSE MODIFY/UNITS to temporarily increase the size of the PAK. This permits a product to be used, in certain emergency situations, on a processor larger than the processor size specified in the license. Check your license terms and conditions before modifying license units. Reset the PAK size to its original size after the emergency situation is resolved.

C.2 License Management Facility (LMF) Notes
The following list addresses some common concerns and questions
regarding the License Management Facility (LMF). For full explanations
of these issues, see the OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
%LICENSE-F-EXCEEDED, licensed product has exceeded current license limits |

The SCS node name is not necessarily the DECnet node name. SCSNODE is a system parameter; it can be a maximum of six alphabetic characters. |
Availability Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) are available for the Compaq OpenVMS Alpha Alpha operating system. An Compaq OpenVMS Alpha PAK is identified by the keyword ALPHA in the PAK's option field. Note the following restrictions:
