11 Loading the G06.24 RVU
This section describes how to load the G06.24 version of the NonStop Kernel
operating system into the memory of each processor in a NonStop S-series server.
Unless OSM is installed and configured, TSM is used to load the system processors.
Alerts
Before performing a system load:
•
Before halting the processors, stop any applications that are still running, including
TMF.
The NonStop S-Series Operations Guide contains detailed information on the best
methods for stopping applications, devices, and processes.
•
Do not close the System Startup dialog box while startup is in progress. If you
attempt to close the dialog box, a message dialog box appears to alert you that the
system startup process will be stopped if you continue.
•
If you stop a system startup before it has finished, the state of your system will be
unpredictable. You might need to perform another system startup to enable the
system to resume normal operation.
•
If you must stop the system startup process, click Abort. (The abort process
should take effect within 30 seconds.)
•
If OSM is installed and configured, use OSM to load the G06.24 RVU.
•
Load the G06.24 RVU only on the primary disk in case there is something wrong
with the disk bootstrap code.
•
Before a system load, you might have to run the SCF ALTER command for correct
placement of EMS templates:
-> ASSUME SUBSYS $ZZKRN
-> ALTER, RESIDENT_TEMPLATES $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.RTMPLATE, &
NONRESIDENT_TEMPLATES $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TEMPLATE
Note. To stop TMF, at a TACL prompt, enter:
5> TMFCOM STOP TMF
