The Question is: i made a stanalone backup kit on a 4 mm dat. the command was @stabkit.com, destination was dka300: . dka300 is a digital externall dat drive TLZ09 . stabkit was made sucessfuls . the tape was labelled as system and 81 files were copied . but wheni reboote d with boot dka300: the system didnt boot . what was the reason. i had the same problem with 3400 .but i had tk50 drive in 3400 .so i created a tk50 stabkit which works fine . but 4096 doesnt have tk50 . thanka in advance The Answer is : Other TLZ-class drives are bootable from various VAX systems, so the OpenVMS Wizard would tend to expect the TLZ09 would be bootable in at least some of the VAXstation 4000 model 96 configurations. Without specific details of the particular error(s) seen during the attempt to bootstrap the VAXstation 4000 model 96 via the standalone VAX kit built on the TLZ09, it appears that the TLZ09 drive is either misconfigured or is not bootable in this particular configuration. (The error messages can often assist greatly with the resolution of the problem. In this case, the boot command used, too.) Given that the VAXstation 4000 model 96 has integrated SCSI with full boot support, please seriously consider bootstrapping standalone BACKUP from an alternate disk or from an available CD-ROM kit. Any of these approaches will be far faster and far more flexible than booting off TLZ/DDS or any other tape media -- and with any recent OpenVMS VAX kits, you can boot OpenVMS VAX itself off the CD-ROM distribution media. Please contact the Compaq Customer Support Center for assistance.
