Configuration requirements for OpenVMS on HP AlphaServer and HP Integrity server hosts

You must configure the OpenVMS operating system before you can use HP AlphaServer and HP Integrity server hosts with the system.

Using the AlphaServer Console for configuring the Fibre Channel

To discover available volumes, you must issue the init command at the AlphaServer Console level. See Figure 1.
