I have a VAX running VMS 7.1 that is looking for a
volume thats not
actually in existence anymore. It does this during startup and doesn't
give up... Being a VMS newbie and all, how would I tell the system to
ignore this and continue /w the boot?
for example....
%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 30-MAR-2003 21:28:59.95 %%%%%%%%%%%
Request 1, from user SYSTEM on ODIF01
Please mount volume USER2 in device _$1$DKB100: (ODIF01)
Try the following to figure out what startup file is trying to mount the disk:
$ SEARCH *.COM USER2
I'm guessing it's located in
SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM, you can simply edit the
file by doing a:
$ EDIT
SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM and either remove the line totally or comment it
out by putting a '!' after the '$' on that line. When done with your
edit
do a CTRL-Z to save and exit (assuming you're using the default editor).,
Zane
