and inform them that they now can boot the client across the network. See
Section 12.3 for basic information about booting a client. See the Installation
Guide — Advanced Topics for additional information.
12.3 Booting a DMS Client
After a DMS client is added to the appropriate environment, the client’s
system administrator can boot the client over the network. When
the client starts to boot, the kernel that boots over the network is:
/clients/hostname /.vmunix
The following steps occur when the client boots:
1. The /clients/hostname directory is mounted by NFS as root (/).
2. The /var/adm/dms/dmsN.alpha/root/usr directory is mounted by
NFS as /usr.
The network information you entered about the client when you added it to
the DMS environment is sufficient to boot the DMS client across the LAN.
DMS clients must be able to boot over Ethernet or FDDI LAN. The basic
procedure for booting a processor over the network from a server is to shut
down the client system to console mode and then issue a boot command
from the client.
See the Installation Guide — Advanced Topics for information about booting
systems over the network.
