I've hooked up the management processor to a DHCP-serving LAN, but it's not picking up an IP address. Any idea how to reset it to factory defaults? I've seen on comp.os.vms that you've managed to resolve your problems and I'm glad about that because I do not know anything about Itanium hardware: I'm an Italian DECnet group member, that's true, and we do have an Itanium system on our network, but... That system is in Rome and I'm in Bologna (about 500 km north of Rome), so I've never put my hands on it! :-P If I remember correctly you'll have to fiddle with EFI menus to start a PXE network boot (a combination of bootp and tftp) and then using InfoServer you should be able to start OpenVMS 8.x installation, then you'll have to fiddle again with EFI to set back boot from a local disk or you can use the SETBOOT command procedure (maybe in SYS$MANAGER or SYS$UPDATE) which should help you in changing EFI setting quite easily... Let me know! G.
