Systems running Tru64 UNIX support network adapters designated ew*0 or
ei*0. The asterisk stands for the adapter ID (a, b, c, and so on).
1. Power up the system. The system stops at the SRM console prompt,
P00>>>.
2. Set boot environment variables, if desired.
3. Enter the show device command ➊ to determine the unit number of the
drive for your device.
4. Enter the following commands. Example 4-2 assumes you are booting
from ewa0. If you are booting from another drive, enter that device
name instead.
P00>>> set ewa0_protocols bootp
P00>>> set ewa0_inet_init bootp
The first command ➋ enables the bootp network protocol for booting
over the Ethernet controller. The second command
➌ sets the internal
Internet database to initialize from the network server through the bootp
protocol.
5. Enter the boot command ➍ and command-line parameters (if you have
not set the associated environment variables). In Example 4-3 the boot
command sets the system to boot automatically from ewa0 and specifies
a full memory dump (Da) in case of a system shutdown.
6. For complete instructions on booting Tru64 UNIX over the network, see
the Tru64 UNIX Installation Guide.
