Introduction 1 Introduction This chapter defines system startup, system configuration, and system shutdown. It also briefly describes the procedures for starting, configuring, and shutting down a HP e3000 (Series 900) computer system. The details for these procedures are discussed throughout the following chapters.
Introduction What Is System Startup? What Is System Startup? System startup refers to the procedure for starting the computer software, namely the operating system, and other programs. System startup does not refer to installing the system for the first time. (A separate installation guide for your first loading of the new fundamental operating software (FOS) comes with each FOS tape. See below.
Introduction What Is System Configuration? What Is System Configuration? System configuration is the means by which you define, in terms meaningful to the operating system, any or all of the peripheral devices attached to the computer for the input (entering) or output (storing or displaying) of data. Such devices include terminals, printers, disk drives, and tape drives.
Introduction What Is System Shutdown? What Is System Shutdown? System shutdown refers to stopping the computer’s software, operating system, and other programs. (Stopping system activity makes the computer inaccessible to users.) A system shutdown does not imply turning off power to the computer hardware.
Initiating System Activity 2 Initiating System Activity Separate firmware routines of processor-dependent code (PDC) and input/output-dependent code (IODC) perform the system self-test and initialization after resetting HP Precision Architecture hardware. The initial program load (IPL), the first software retrieved from the boot device, implements the operating-system-independent portion of the bootstrap process.
Initiating System Activity Resetting the System Resetting the System There are two general types of resets for the HP 3000 (Series 900): a soft reset and a hard reset. Soft Reset A soft reset, the type of reset used most often, preserves the current processor state. This type of reset performs a nondisruptive memory test and terminates all I/O operations before executing recovery software for starting the boot device and console selection process.
Initiating System Activity Resetting the System Table 2-1. AP Reset Commands Command Description TC Transfer of control (soft reset). This command initiates a reset that preserves the current processor state, terminates all I/O operations, and performs a nondisruptive memory test. For NIO systems, refer to Appendix A for details about using the AP support interface for functions other than resetting the system.
Initiating System Activity Resetting the System Example 2-1 demonstrates a soft reset of the system with autoboot disabled using the console and AP commands for a Series 949 system. The reset screen may a contain different boot path and additional information, depending on the system you are using. Example 2-1.

The autoboot flag setting determines whether the system searches for an autoexecute file with which to boot the operating system automatically.
Initiating System Activity Determining and Selecting Input and Output (I/O) Paths Determining and Selecting Input and Output (I/O) Paths The system identifies adapter interfaces to a system bus and the associated devices by an I/O path. The I/O path is the address of the interface hardware and the physical path to reach a device. When the system is reset or the power is turned on, hardware routines read and initialize the I/O paths needed to boot the system.
Initiating System Activity Testing the System Testing the System A HP e3000 (Series 900) system undergoes a self-test upon reset.: After resetting and testing, the system either autoboots or initiates an interactive boot sequence. Whether or not the system autoboots depends on how the autoboot flag is set and the presence of an autoboot file. For information on using the AUTOBOOT command, refer to Chapter 3 , “System Startup Functions.
Initiating System Activity The Booting Process The Booting Process The process of booting the processor-dependent code (PDC) and the input/output-dependent code (IODC) takes place immediately after the system self-test. The initialization process is hardware-driven and begins automatically. After the system is reset, the PDC and IODC boot sequence messages indicate or prompt for the I/O paths required for successful completion.

System Startup Functions 3 System Startup Functions The initial system loader (ISL) provides a command-driven user interface for accessing boot utilities or issuing ISL commands to display or change system startup functions. When the system is booted from tape (tape boots), processor-dependent code (PDC) directly loads the ISL. When the system is booted from disk (disk boots), PDC and input/output-dependent code (IODC) boot the utility MMSAVE, which in turn boots ISL.
System Startup Functions Initial System Loader (ISL) Initial System Loader (ISL) On tape boots, the ISL is loaded directly by the processor-dependent code (PDC). ISL reads the logical interchange format (LIF) directory from tape and uses this directory to find other files on the tape. On disk boots, the PDC and IODC boot the utility MMSAVE, which in turn boots the ISL. PDC and IODC read the first record or sector of the boot device, which is the LIF label.

System Startup Functions Activating and Deactivating Autoboot and Autosearch Functions Activating and Deactivating Autoboot and Autosearch Functions Enabling and disabling the autoboot and autosearch flags determines one of four boot device and console selections for system initialization. Hardware interprets the selections as follows: Manual (autoboot off and autosearch off). Ask for the path to the boot device. Use the path that is indicated. Initialize the path given, and boot from it.
System Startup Functions Activating and Deactivating Autoboot and Autosearch Functions Modifying Boot Paths in Stable Storage The ISL commands PRIMPATH, ALTPATH, and CONSPATH are available for placing new primary boot path, alternate boot path, or console boot path information in stable storage. The changes need to be in stable storage to execute the autoboot sequence properly in the event of a power outage or other serious failure.

System Startup Functions Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) Not available on N-Class and A-Class systems NOTE Nonvolatile memory stores system activity parameters, including a circular queue of the last six ISL utilities executed. This information remains intact, even through system failures.
System Startup Functions Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) to produce the local time, displayed on the console. To read or set the hardware clock, enter: ISL> clkutil The system responds with the following banner: SYSTEM FOR ISL STAND ALONE UTILITIES. [IHO, SPU LAB] Version 1.
System Startup Functions Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) similar to the following: THU, NOV 16, 2000, ok (y/n)?y 7:12:00 PM Entering Y returns a message of: clock set! Enter command : (r) read clock, (s) set clock (e) exit>e Entering N returns you to the enter date prompt. Pressing Return at the enter command prompt returns you to the ISL prompt.
System Startup Functions ISL Boot Utilities ISL Boot Utilities The system uses bootable ISL utilities to either load the system from tape or to start the system from disk. The current boot utilities are START, UPDATE, INSTALL, and DUMP. There are additional utilities for system management: SADPATCH, DISCUTIL, CLKUTIL, and SAT. The START utility starts the system from disk. Use this utility to recover from a system hang or failure or to reboot the system after scheduled downtime.
System Startup Functions Starting the System Starting the System This section discusses using the initial system loader utility, START, that activates the operating system. START is the ISL utility used most often, whether to boot the system from disk after a reset, to automatically reboot after the completion of the UPDATE, INSTALL, or DUMP utility, or to bring up the operating system after a shutdown. START execution differs depending on the previously executed boot command.
System Startup Functions Starting the System NOTE bootup contains the CONFIG file that was used by the previous START NORECOVERY command. RECOVERY starts the system, but sets the fence at 14 which prevents any jobs or sessions from automatically starting. These default options instruct the system to boot from disk, to use the configuration information last used to boot the system, attempts to log on as OPERATOR.
System Startup Functions Starting the System Create a SYSSTART file with any text editor. A properly formatted SYSSTART file is composed of five modules, labeled and placed in the following order: startup, warmstart, coolstart, update, and reload. Notice that each module must be separated by one or more asterisks. The following SYSSTART file sample is an example of the type of commands you might want to include in a SYSSTART file. It is not intended to suggest entries for your system's SYSSTART file.
System Startup Functions Starting the System sessions and raise the jobfence. Table 3-2. describes how each module is executed. Table 3-2. Execution of SYSSTART File Modules Boot Utility Used SYSSTART Module Executed ANY startup START (RECOVERY) warmstart START (NORECOVERY) coolstart UPDATE (START) update INSTALL (START) reload The SYSSTART file must be created by MANAGER.SYS and needs to reside on LDEV 1 to function properly.
System Startup Functions Starting the System NOTE The components of the system startup messages on all of the systems are similar; however, the messages can vary in I/O path descriptions depending on the system.

System Startup Functions Updating the Operating System Updating the Operating System This section provides general information on using the MPE/iX and initial system loader (ISL) commands, options, and utilities to update the operating system of a HP 3000 (Series 900). CAUTION Specific update and installation instructions are subject to change. This manual provides you with an overview of the procedures involved.
System Startup Functions Updating the Operating System UPDATE process before using it as a recovery method. Understanding the UPDATE process can reduce system operator and system manager errors and, therefore, reduce your system’s downtime. If you are using the UPDATE utility to replace a current version of the operating system with a newer version, schedule the update for off-peak hours.
System Startup Functions Updating the Operating System • attempt to log on in the user account OPERATOR.SYS (if there is no OPERATOR.SYS user, you will see the MPE prompt) • bring up all volumes present on the system. • allow access to all mounted volumes by all users • execute the commands in the system startup file, SYSSTART.PUB.SYS, if it is present Restarting of jobs is not permitted after either an UPDATE or an INSTALL, because no jobs exist after an UPDATE or an INSTALL.
System Startup Functions Updating the Operating System Updating the System Configuration: a Preview If you are updating just the configuration of your system and not the operating system, then you have already created the customized SLT, as in step 9 above. You did this when you made your configuration changes in SYSGEN and did a KEEP. This information was transferred to the CSLT at the end of the update process. The following steps are a subset of an operating system update: 1. backing up system data 2.
System Startup Functions Updating the Operating System You should also retain a hard copy of your system’s current configuration. If you use the CONFIG option with UPDATE, UPDATE replaces the configuration files in the group CONFIG.SYS on disk with any that may exist in the CONFIG.SYS on the system load tape (SLT). If you use this option, you can unintentionally replace your system's current configuration files with the ones that UPDATE provides.

Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) 4 Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) SYSGEN is a utility used to modify the system configuration. System configuration changes are kept to disk in a configuration group or to a tape called a system load tape (SLT). The SYSGEN utility requires system supervisor (OP) capability to view system configuration and system manager (SM) capability to save changes or create an SLT. SYSGEN contains a global module and four configurators: • Input/Output (IO) Configurator.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Entering the SYSGEN Global Module Entering the SYSGEN Global Module The command for the SYSGEN utility is SYSGEN. SYSGEN has four positional parameters: SYSGEN [ basegroup] [ ,newgroup ] [ ,inputfile [ ,outputfile ] ] The basegroup parameter specifies the group in the SYS account that contains the configuration data file set to be used or changed. The default base group is the group used to boot the system (usually CONFIG).

Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Using the Help Facility in SYSGEN’s Global Module Using the Help Facility in SYSGEN’s Global Module The help facility provides a list of the commands available at each functional level of SYSGEN. In addition, help provides the syntax of an individual command or the syntax of each command in the configurator or at the first-level menu. To obtain a list of the first-level commands, enter HELP (abbreviated HE or H) at the SYSGEN prompt as shown in the following example.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Using the Help Facility in SYSGEN’s Global Module ** Common configurator commands ** clear (cl)(c) exit (ex)(e) help (he)(h) hold (ho) oclose (oc) redo [command = ALL | command-name] sysgen> To display a listing of the syntax for a first-level command, enter HELP commandname as shown in the following example: sysgen>HELP BASEGROUP basegroup Chapter 4 (ba) [name=groupname] 101
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Using First-Level (Global Module) Commands Using First-Level (Global Module) Commands The first-level commands, displayed after entering SYSGEN, allow you to activate one of the four configurators (I/O, LOG, MISC, SYSFILE) or to keep, show, or clear changes made from the configurators. In addition, you can use first-level commands to call the SYSGEN help facility, alter basegroups, store configuration changes to tape, or exit the SYSGEN utility. Table 4-1.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) SYSGEN Command Syntax SYSGEN Command Syntax Commands can be classified as either command only or command with parameters(s). Commands with parameters can be specified in one of the following ways: positional parameters keyword parameters options NOTE The command structure established by SYSGEN enables the user to select the manner in which parameters accompany the command. Positional parameters are assigned a position in the parameter sequence.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Confirming Potentially Serious Actions You can specify the group only from the global module in SYSGEN, but you can accomplish this in two ways.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Confirming Potentially Serious Actions sysgen>PERMYES ON To disable PERMYES, enter PERMYES OFF at the SYSGEN prompt: sysgen>PERMYES OFF Once PERMYES is disabled, SYSGEN issues messages to prompt for confirmation. Example 4-4 demonstrates PERMYES OFF action. PERMYES should always be set ON in command files to allow SYSGEN to continue where confirmation would be requested. NOTE Example 4-4. PERMYES OFF Action :SYSGEN SYSGEN version D.01.01 : catalog version D.01.

Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Showing the State of Configurators Showing the State of Configurators The SHOW command (abbreviated SH) displays the current state of the SYSGEN global facilities. SHOW has the following syntax: SHOW [TYPE = [ [ [ [ [ [DEST = BASEGROUP NEWGROUP VERSION PERMYES CONFIGURATOR ALL OFFLINE ] ] ] ] ] ] ] BASEGROUP lists the name of the current working configuration’s base group. NEWGROUP lists the name of the current new configuration group.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Activating the Configurators Activating the Configurators The commands for entering each of the configurators (IO, LOG, MISC, SYSFILE) are SYSGEN first-level commands. To activate the configurators, you must first enter the SYSGEN Global module. Once you have the SYSGEN prompt, enter either IO, LOG, MISC, or SYSFILE to activate the Input/Output, Logging, Miscellaneous, or System File configurators, respectively.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Clearing Configuration Changes Clearing Configuration Changes The SYSGEN global module CLEAR command (abbreviated CL) removes all temporary changes made from the four configurators. If, for example, you make IO and SYSFILE configurator changes and decide not to keep them, issue the global module CLEAR command to remove the changes made in both configurators.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Generating a System Load Tape sysgen>KEEP NEWCONFG (Sample name only) If changes are being saved to a group that has existing configuration files, SYSGEN asks if that group should be overwritten: sysgen>KEEP FEUDAL purge old configuration (yes/no) ?NO ** configuration files not saved ** Answering NO cancels the command. If insufficient space exists on the main system disk to accommodate the creation of a new configuration group, SYSGEN issues a message indicating this.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Generating a System Load Tape NOLOGNUM resets the system and datacom log numbers to zero (0). LOGNUM is the default. It specifies that SYSGEN should carry forward the system and datacom log numbers and not reset to zero (0). OFFLINE directs the listing created by VERBOSE to SYSGEN’s listing file, SYSGLIST. Using OFFLINE in the TAPE command line does not immediately generate a printout.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Generating a System Load Tape show (sh) tape (ta) clear (lc)(c) oclose (oc) redo sysgen> exit (ex)(e) help (he)(h) 3. Make any desired changes from the IO, LOG, or MISC configurators. Refer to Chapter 5 , “Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations,” and Chapter 7 , “Modifying Miscellaneous Configuration Elements,” for information on using the IO, LOG, and MISC configurators to alter the system configuration. 4.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Generating a System Load Tape • To create a system load tape with user files stored after it, enter the following command: sysgen>TAPE STORE="filesetlist" You can list the user files that you wish to store as input to the STORE= parameter. Note that the string of file names to be stored after the SLT must be enclosed in quotes. You can also use the wildcard @ to include all users files on the system (@.@.@), in specific accounts (@.@.SYS, @.@.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Redirecting SYSGEN Input and Output Redirecting SYSGEN Input and Output By using SYSGEN’s file designators, you can redirect SYSGEN’s input and output. Redirecting SYSGEN’s input and output enables you, for example, to issue commands to SYSGEN using command files that can operate without user intervention or interactive keyboard input. SYSGEN uses three formal file designators for input, output, and listing: • SYSGIN.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Redirecting SYSGEN Input and Output Table 4-2. Actions Performed by Command File Example Line Action 2 Activate SYSGEN and redirect input so that SYSGEN uses the file named LISTIT as the input file. 3 End the job file after SYSGEN has completed the tasks outlined by the SYSGEN command file LISTIT. Example 4-10 lists the contents of the command file (LISTIT), which, when run, prints SYSGEN information on the system printer. Example 4-10.
Using the System Generator (SYSGEN) Exiting SYSGEN Exiting SYSGEN Use the EXIT command (abbreviated EX or E) to exit from a configurator and return to the SYSGEN global module, or to terminate SYSGEN and return to the MPE prompt. To exit either a configurator or SYSGEN, enter EXIT at the prompt: log>EXIT sysgen> or sysgen>EXIT : Note that the MPE prompt returns after SYSGEN ends.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations 5 Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations With the introduction of version C.55.00 of MPE/iX, there are two ways to define input and output devices on a system: using SYSGEN’s I/O Configurator or using the IOCONFIG utility. Both methods provide information about the input and output devices configured on a system and let you make changes to the configuration as necessary.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations I/O Paths I/O Paths An I/O path is the system address assigned to the device interface hardware and the physical path used to reach an I/O device. I/O Paths Used to Boot a System When a system is powered on or reset, the processor-dependent code (PDC) and I/O-dependent code (IODC) hardware routines read and initialize the I/O paths used to boot or reboot the system. The I/O paths that are used to load the system from disk or tape are referred to as boot paths.

You specify the old path and the new path, both of which must have the same number of levels. MADDRESS 2/4.0.2 6/4.0.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations Using the SYSGEN I/O Configurator Deleting Objects in SYSGEN When you use SYSGEN to delete objects from the system configuration, there are four I/O Configurator commands available to you: DCLASS, DDEV, DPATH, and DVOL. They are defined in Table 5-5. and explained in the following sections. Table 5-5. I/O Configurator Delete Commands Command Definition Examples DCLASS Removes one or more class names from the system.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations Using the SYSGEN I/O Configurator NO PENDING SYSGEN CONFIG CHANGES The DOIONOW command creates a log file, ONLNOLOG.PUB.SYS, which is used to record the commands executed by IOCONFIG. If the DOIONOW command generates an error, you may view this same log file to determine the cause. This log file is purged and a new one is created prior to invoking the new configuration, which means that it only contains information for the last execution of IOCONFIG.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations Using the IOCONFIG Utility Using the IOCONFIG Utility With the release of version C.55.00 of MPE/iX, system managers can now use a new utility, IOCONFIG, to change the I/O configuration and implement the changes immediately without rebooting the system. The IOCONFIG utility automatically updates SYSGEN’s base configuration.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations Using the IOCONFIG Utility Table 5-6. IOCONFIG Commands Command Abbreviations Description ADDDEVICE adev, ad Adds a device from the physical configuration to the active configuration.

A device is considered to be completely deconfigured when all its system-related resources are recovered.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations Using the IOCONFIG Utility RANDOM DEFAULT}] Modifying a Device Class with IOCONFIG The system manager or operator can modify a device class by adding or deleting one or more devices in it or by renaming it using the MODIFYCLASS or MCLASS command. The syntax of this command is identical to that of MCLASS in SYSGEN. The command syntax is as follows: MODIFYCLASS {[CLASS]=classname} [[NEWCLASS]=classname] [[ALDEV]=logical device #,...] [[DLDEV]=logical device #,...
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations Using the IOCONFIG Utility prompt. The command syntax is as follows: DELETECLASS {[CLASS =] classname,...] Configuring a Device Adapter with IOCONFIG It is often necessary to configure intermediate paths before a device can be configured into the system. For example, you must configure a SCSI device adapter before the first device on that SCSI bus can be configured. Intermediate path configuration is done just like in SYSGEN.
Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations Using the IOCONFIG Utility Deleting an I/O Path with IOCONFIG The system manager or operator can delete an I/O path and all paths below it from the configuration with the DELETEPATH command. IOCONFIG will only delete a path if it is not currently in use or if it does not have an associated device. If either is true when you issue the DELETEPATH command, a warning message appears.
Modifying Logging Configurations 6 Modifying Logging Configurations The LOG configurator enables the system manager to change the attributes of user and system logging processes. System logging records the use of certain system resources by accounts, groups, and users on a job or session basis. The system manager determines which events are logged. User logging allows users and subsystems to record additions and modifications to databases and other files used in applications programs.
Modifying Logging Configurations Entering the LOG Configurator Entering the LOG Configurator To access the LOG configurator, enter the LOG command (abbreviated LO) at the SYSGEN prompt as shown in the Example 6-1: Example 6-1.
Modifying Logging Configurations Entering the LOG Configurator [dest = OFFLINE] slog (sl) [on [off = event#,...] = event#,...] ulog [nlogprocs = number processes allowed] [usersperproc = users per logging process] log> Entering HELP commandname provides help for a specific command: log>HELP SHOW show (sh) [command [dest = SLOG|ULOG|ALL] = OFFLINE] Showing Current LOG Values The SHOW command displays the LOG values as currently set.
Modifying Logging Configurations Entering the LOG Configurator Example 6-5.
Modifying Logging Configurations Entering the LOG Configurator Logging System Events System logging records the use of certain resources by accounts, groups, and users. System logging can be used for several purposes, such as billing or obtaining an overview of system use. System logging describes system use by creating a running log of actual events, correlating the event with a job and session. The system manager chooses which events to enable or disable by setting an event number to ON or OFF.
Modifying Logging Configurations Entering the LOG Configurator ULOG (UL) [NLOGPROCS = numberprocesses allowed ] [USERSPERPROC = usersperloggingprocess] NLOGPROCS controls the user logging ID (LID) table size. Lowering NLOGPROCS loses all current logging ID information from the tape created by SYSGEN. If NLOGPROCS remains unchanged or increases, the current logging ID information is copied to tape. The minimum and maximum number of processes allowed are 2 and 128, respectively.
Modifying Logging Configurations Entering the LOG Configurator the KEEP command: sysgen>KEEP newgroupname Refer to Chapter 4 , “Using the System Generator (SYSGEN),” for additional information on using the KEEP command.

Halting System Activity 9 Halting System Activity A system shutdown does not imply turning off power to the computer hardware. Instead, system shutdown means stopping the computer’s operating system. Stopping system activity makes the computer inaccessible to users. You would need to shut down the system for maintenance, for a physical move, for changing the system configuration, or for security reasons. If done properly, a shutdown preserves all system and user files.
Halting System Activity Including Shutdown Information in the Welcome Message Including Shutdown Information in the Welcome Message Include shutdown information in the welcome message. Remember to include information about the time of the shutdown and whom a user should contact with questions. Enter: :WELCOME #Return This erases the present WELCOME message. Enter for a second time: :WELCOME # When the pound sign prompt (#) appears, enter the message line by line, terminating each line with Return.
Halting System Activity Including Shutdown Information in the Welcome Message 2. Shut down the spool queue. Entering the SHUTQ command shuts down the spool queues to prevent users from sending reports to the printer. Enter: :SHUTQ nn (nn is your printer’s ldev number.) or :SHUTQ devname (devname is the device name of the spooled device) 3. List the backlog of existing reports. Enter: :LISTSPF This lists all spool files. If the system responds NO SUCH FILE(S), you have no spool files.
Halting System Activity Including Shutdown Information in the Welcome Message The following keywords can also be entered in the SHUTDOWN command to document the shutdown: SYSTEM NETWORK DTC TERMINAL TAPE DISC OTHER You can use these options to indicate the reason that you are shutting down the system. For example, if you shut down to clear a DTC hang, use the DTC option.
Using the Access Port (AP) A Using the Access Port (AP) This section describes the access port (AP) commands and provides the procedures for enabling a remote console, for configuring a system remote support modem port, and for performing the AP self-test.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console Configuring the Console Some of the terminal configuration parameters are important for proper AP operation.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console the system displays an error message similar to the following: Illegal command, type HE for help. Interpreting the System Status Line When in control mode, the AP displays the system status line across the softkey labels of the system console. The system status line has this format: CODE: xxxx REMOTE: < 1 > < 2 > < 3 > ACCESS FAULT: yy Table A-1. describes the information presented in the status line. Table A-1.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console Table A-2. Access Port Commands Command Function DS Disables display of system status line during console mode. ER Enables access by a remote console. ES Enables display of system status line during console mode. HE Displays the help screen. RS Stops all processing, initiates SPU self-test, and loads software from load device if enabled for autoboot. SE Transfers remote terminal from console/control mode to session mode.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console become necessary. Returning from Control Mode to Console Mode The access port command, CO, returns the console from control mode to console mode. Once returned to console mode, the system console operates in its normal session mode. This command does not generate messages.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console The system identification is a displayable character ASCII string (24 characters maximum) that is stored on the AP, for the AP's exclusive use. The AP identification has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with any other system identification stored elsewhere in the SPU. No other entity has access to it, and the AP has no access to any other system identification. Enter up to 24 characters as the system identification.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console Select the new setting (S=single, M=multiple): Return Current password: The quick brown fox New password (1 to 24 displayable characters or space if no password is to be required): Return Current password fault limit: 10 New number of password faults (Range: 0-99 or space. Space or 0 will permit unlimited password faults.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console Remote console access disabled. The remote enabled light on the front panel goes out once remote console access is terminated. NOTE Disconnecting the Remote Line Entering the DI command initiates a clean disconnect from the telephone line connected to the remote support modem port. This command is valid only from a remote console. If a local operator attempts to use this command, the system issues a message: Command may not be executed by a local user.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console System status display during console mode is enabled. Disabling the SPU Hex Status Display Entering DS disables the display of the system status line, including the system front panel hex display codes on the console during console mode. See the ES command for more details. The system displays a message when the command is successful: System status display during console mode is disabled.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console Should an error be encountered during a TC, the system displays following error message: Unable to verify assertion of TOC_SYS backplane signal (APERR 04). Testing the AP Entering TA executes the AP self-test. The system displays a message during self-test: CM>TA Return Console data arriving during self-test execution will be lost. Type Y to confirm your intention to execute AP Self-Test (Y/N): Y Starting AP Self-Test. Last subtest will be 30.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console Halting Scrolling Entering CTRL S causes the AP to stop passing characters from its port queues to the consoles. The queues continue to accept characters from the system. The XOFF is not passed to the system port being used for the transfer. Allowing Scrolling Entering CTRL Q causes the AP to resume passing characters from its port queues to the consoles if this was previously stopped by XOFF character.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console CAUSE: This message, generated during execution of the RS command, indicates that the PPON backplane signal is not deasserted within 2 seconds after the RESET_SYS- line is asserted. This error may be caused by three conditions. If the receiver, which senses this state of this line on the AP, has failed, the system displays the message. The SPU resets normally.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console CAUSE: The first two characters entered in a command line for the AP command interpreter are not an AP command. Help displays all legal commands. MESSAGE: Expecting “Y” or “N” (APERR 11) CAUSE: The AP is expecting one of the letters Y or N, in either uppercase or lowercase, as the reply to the query displayed on the screen.
Using the Access Port (AP) Configuring the Console AP self-test detects only approximately 70 percent of the faults on the AP. MESSAGE: SPU hardware was successfully reset. (APMSG 02) CAUSE: This message indicates that the AP did not enter the three possible error states. It does not mean that the AP has somehow detected that the processor has restarted or that it was cleared, for example. The AP has no way to determine the internal state of any other assembly in the SPU.
Startup, Dump, and Shutdown Listings B Startup, Dump, and Shutdown Listings This appendix lists or references the messages received at the console during successful ISL startup (START), dump (DUMP), and shutdown (SHUTDOWN) operations.
Startup, Dump, and Shutdown Listings START Sequence START Sequence Refer to Chapter 3 , “System Startup Functions,” for information on the steps involved in the startup process.
Startup, Dump, and Shutdown Listings DUMP Sequence DUMP Sequence Refer to Chapter 3 , “System Startup Functions,” for information on the steps involved in the DUMP process. See Example 3-7 for the output from a DUMP sequence. CAUTION Appendix B Do not use the RS command from the console or push the reset button on the front panel to reset the system for a dump. Hard resetting the system initiates a processor self-test that invalidates dump data.
Startup, Dump, and Shutdown Listings Shutdown Sequence Shutdown Sequence This sequence, unlike the previous four, begins at the MPE prompt. (Presumably, the system is up and running before it is shut down.) Refer to Chapter 9 , “Halting System Activity,” for information on the steps involved in shutting down the system. The following represents a shutdown sequence for the N-Class systems received at the console. Sequences from other installations may vary. :TELL @S;SHUTDOWN IN 15 MINUTES.
Reading Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory C Reading Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory Certain types of system errors and failures may indicate problems with the stable storage or nonvolatile memory (NVM). In these cases, your HP customer engineer may request that you note the contents of certain locations in these storages. ISL provides two commands, READSS and READNVM, that read the contents of storage addresses in stable storage and nonvolatile memory (NVM).
Reading Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory Reading Stable Storage Contents Reading Stable Storage Contents Stable storage contains the boot path information along with other critical file system parameters in a minimum area of 96 bytes of high-reliability memory. The storage maintains the critical parameters even if the storage card is removed from the backplane.
Reading Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory Reading Stable Storage Contents the logical module index. The console path and alternate paths are stored in the same format as the primary boot path. Unlike the primary boot path, the first byte of the first word of the console and alternate boot paths is set to hex 00. The autoboot and autosearch flags are not stored with these paths.
Reading Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) (Not applicable to N-Class and A-Class ) NVM stores system activity parameters, including a circular queue of the last six ISL utilities executed, which is useful as a diagnostic aid in the event of a system crash or failure. NVM contains initialization information in a 92-byte block starting at decimal byte address 36. NVM stores this information as shown in Figure C-2.. Figure C-2.
Reading Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) decimal address. The output is always in hexadecimal. In the following examples, addresses are referred to in decimal notation and the output is in hexadecimal notation. The last boot path, starting at byte address decimal 36, contains the status of the autoboot and autosearch flags during the boot sequence. Address decimal 68 contains the ISL revision number in ASCII.
Reading Stable Storage and Nonvolatile Memory Reading Nonvolatile Memory (NVM) Table C-1. lists the ISL utility names and the hexadecimal representation for both uppercase and lowercase spellings. Table C-1.
Default Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE D Default Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE The INSTALL utility on a factory system load tape replaces a system's configuration files with a default configuration. These defaults allow the system manager or system supervisor to boot the system to a fully operational level. You should then alter the functioning configuration to meet your system's needs using SYSGEN. START uses CONFIG as its default configuration group.
Default Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE Table D-1.
Default Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE NOTE Appendix D For specific information on how to start the system with the default configuration files, as well as possible additional default configuration files, refer to the HP e3000 MPE/iX System Software Maintenance Manual.
Default Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE Copying Default Configuration File Groups Copying Default Configuration File Groups This section discusses renaming the default configuration files groups used by the UPDATE and INSTALL utilities mentioned in Chapter 3 , “System Startup Functions.”. Overview The INSTALL utility replaces a system’s configuration files with a default configuration. These defaults allow the system manager or system operator to boot the system to a fully operational level.
Default Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE Using SYSGEN to Copy the Files Using SYSGEN to Copy the Files You must use SYSGEN to copy configuration groups. Using other methods to copy configuration files removes key elements and corrupts the files. To copy a default configuration group into the configuration group CONFIG, follow the instructions outlined below: 1. Activate SYSGEN. Entering SYSGEN activates SYSGEN’s global module. :SYSGEN SYSGEN version B.06.01 : catalog version B.06.
Default Configurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE Using SYSGEN to Copy the Files 5. Generate a system load tape (SLT) if desired. To create an SLT that contains the new configuration, use CONFIG as the base group, and save it to tape, as discussed in Chapter 3 , “System Startup Functions.” 6. Use the new configuration and restart the system. If you modified the configuration and now desire to implement it on the system, shut down and restart the system. To shut down the system enter: :CTRL A =SHUTDOWN 7.
Verifying Attached Devices Overview E Verifying Attached Devices This section discusses using the initial system loader’s ODE utility to verify which devices are attached and configured to a HP e3000 computer system. Overview SYSGEN provides utilities for listing the configured paths and associated devices of a system. It does not, however, provide a utility for listing the devices actually attached to the system. (A valid configured path does not require an associated device.
Verifying Attached Devices Displaying Configured Devices The self-test initiates the internal self-test of each component that has a self-test routine. The result of this test is reported as pass, fail, unimplemented, or untestable. Running ODE To run ODE : 1. Remove all users from the system.

The FILE command is used to establish the relationship of the file to the device. Generally used to direct the input to or output from a program, job, or session to a particular device by referring to the device class, such as TAPE or LP. file identifier A number associating a name with a file system object.
modes assigned to a group are limited to those types permitted to the account. group librarian capability (GL capability) A capability assigned by the account manager to a user within an account. A group librarian is allowed special file access modes for the maintenance of certain files within the user's home group. hard reset A method of resetting the computer or a terminal. A hard reset erases all information in memory.
incremental backup A backup strategy where a full backup is done once a week and partial backups are done on every other work day. initial program load (IPL) The initialization procedure that causes an operating system to begin operation. initial system loader (ISL) The software used to bring up MPE/iX or to perform a memory dump to tape. It provides a user interface to obtain information about or to alter the bootpath. input 1) The data to be processed.
requiring user interaction. job limit A limit set to manage the number of jobs executing on the system. The system manager or operator can restrict system usage by reducing the number of jobs allowed to run. If the LIMIT command is used to set the job limit to 0 (zero), no additional jobs can log onto the system. keyword A word assigned a specific meaning by the operating system, a subsystem, a computer language, or a utility.
logging 1) The process of recording all system modifications to a tape or disk file for the purpose of recovery or accountability. If the system fails, the log file can be used to restore the system to its state prior to the failure. 2) The process used by DBCore to record the activity of a DBEnvironment to enable either rollback or rollforward recovery if necessary. logging shutdown A shutdown marking the end of the logging cycle.
the 900 Series HP 3000 computers. MPE/iX manages all system resources and coordinates the execution of all programs running on the system. multiple RIN capability (MR capability) A capability assigned to accounts and users allowing a user multiple RINs (resource identification numbers) so they can lock more than one resource or device at a time. MR capability is usually restricted to only a few users, since simultaneous resource locking can lock (or hang) the entire system.
OPERATOR.SYS The user and account that MPE automatically logs on to at the console when the system is started. OPERATOR.SYS may or may not be assigned special capabilities. Unlike the system supervisor (who is assigned OP capability), or the system manager (who is assigned SM capability), there is no mnemonic that entitles the operator to execute a special subset of commands.
preventive maintenance (PM) The regular housecleaning chores performed to keep the system from suffering performance degradation and to prevent problems from developing on the system. primary boot path The path used to boot the system from disk-resident software. priority request The use of the optional parameter ;HIPRI in the HELLO and JOB commands.
PUBgroup A group created when an account is created whose files are usually accessible to all users within the account. PUB.SYS The public group of the system account. PUB.SYS is the group in which programs and applications available to all users of the system reside. quiet mode A session mode in which messages sent from other jobs or sessions to a terminal are not displayed. Users control quiet mode with the SETMSG command. To determine who is running quietly, execute the SHOWJOB command.
the RESTORE command. restricting data A way of limiting access to data by grouping data into volumes, volume classes, and volume sets. run To execute a program. run time The environment in which a process is running or executing. save files capability (SF capability) The capability allowing users to save the files they create. It is assigned by default to accounts and users. search path A mechanism that controls which file is opened once a command is determined not to be a UDC nor an MPE command.
spooling An activity that permits the concurrent use of output devices and batch job input. (SPOOL is an acronym for simultaneous peripheral operations online.) If multiple users send output to a nonshareable device, such as a tape drive or line printer, their output is directed to spool files on disk. The output is printed on a priority basis as the printer becomes available and the users can proceed with other processing activities without waiting for the printer.
system configuration The process of tailoring the operating system to accommodate the current physical layout and workload of a particular installation. The configuration is typically modified when new terminals, another line printer, or a disk drive are added. The system also can be reconfigured to assign new class names to existing devices, change the size of system tables or virtual memory, modify system logging, or alter any other configuration parameter.
user files. It is generated with the SYSGEN utility. Equivalent to the MPE V/E coldload tape. system logging The facility that records details of system resource requests in a series of log files on disk. The system manager or operator can select which system events to record such as job or session initiation or termination, program termination, file closing, file spooling completion, and system shutdown.
system data structures. unit number A part of an address used for devices. A number whose meaning is software-dependent and device-dependent, but which is often used to specify a particular disk drive in a device with a multidrive controller. UPDATE 1) The MPE/iX ISL utility that performs a system load from tape. It replaces the current base system files on disk, and optionally replaces configuration files.
volume number The part of an address used for a device number whose meaning is software and device dependent, but is often used to specify a particular volume on a multivolume disk drive. volume set A group of up to 255 related disk packs. One volume of the volume set must be designated as the master volume for the set. Each volume set is assigned a name by which it is identified and referenced. MPE/iX recognizes both system volume sets and nonsystem, or mountable, volume sets.
