6. For each boot client, add an entry in the BOOTP database to associate the MAC address of
the client’s LAN device with the boot file to be loaded from the boot server, as in the following
example. In this example, hostname is the host name of the boot client, and MACaddress is
the client’s MAC address in the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx. The boot file specification need not
include “TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:”, if steps 2 and 3 were performed and VMS_LOADER.EFI
and IPB.EXE are copied to the newly created directory. Otherwise, the boot file specification
is the complete path for VMS_LOADER.EFI and in the below example, it is in the DVD
identified by device DQA0:.
$ TCPIP SET BOOTP hostname /HARDWARE=ADDRESS=MACaddress-
_$ /FILE=[V831H1]VMS_LOADER.EFI (For Version 8.3-1H1 and lower)
$ TCPIP SET BOOTP hostname /HARDWARE=ADDRESS=MACaddress-
_$ /FILE=DQA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]VMS_LOADER.EFI (For Version 8.4 and higher)
You might need to specify a gateway (/GATEWAYS) and network mask
(/NETWORK_MASK). To determine the names of the gateways and the subnet information,
consult your network administrator. For more information about this command, see the
TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS documentation. To display and verify your BOOTP server
configuration, use the TCPIP SHOW BOOTP/FULL command.
IMPORTANT: For each new version of OpenVMS Integrity servers, you must modify the
client entry in the BOOTP database to point to the new, version-specific boot file.
Example C-1 shows the commands for setting up a boot server for a client named MOZART. An
explanation of each command follows the example.

1
Creates the directory TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:[V831H1] on the system to be the TFTP and
BOOTP server.

Copies [SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]VMS_LOADER.EFI from the DVD to
TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:[V831H1].
3
Copies [SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSEXE]IPB.EXE from the DVD to
TCPIP$TFTP_ROOT:[V831H1].
4
Adds the boot client host MOZART to the TCP/IP hosts database, specifying MOZART’s IP
address as 1.1.110.117.
