•
A SCSI-Load attempts to load the system from a disk in group, module, slot
11.1.11 of a NonStop S-series I/O enclosure. See Table 6-1, System Load Paths in
Order of Use, on page 6-1.
•
You can configure additional alternate system disks. To create an alternate system
disk, see the NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Guide. Then use OSM to
make the disk available in the Configuration Drop-down menu in the System Load
dialog box. The alternative system disks are displayed in the Attributes tab under
the System object in the OSM Service Connection and are also displayed in the
OSM Low-Level Link System Load dialog box in the Configuration shortcut menu.
Alerts
Before performing a system load:
•
Before halting the processors, stop applications that are still running, including
TMF.
The NonStop NS-Series Operations Guide contains detailed information on the
best methods for stopping applications, devices, and processes.
•
Do not close the System Load Startup dialog box while startup is in progress. If you
attempt to close the dialog box, a message dialog box appears notifying 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 you do not select a $SYSTEM volume, you must revive the mirrored disk.
•
In the System Load dialog box, either select all four disk paths, or check that the
selected disk path is correct. If you do not select all four or select the incorrect disk
path, the system does not load properly.
