CIIN File
CIIN File
The CIIN file is a TACL command (OBEY) file that contains a limited set of commands
that usually:
•
Start a TACL process pair on the system console for the system console TACL
window ($YMIOP.#CLCI)
When the startup TACL executes the commands in the CIIN file and terminates,
the $YMIOP.#CLCI process pair lets you log on to the system and complete the
system startup.
OSM software lets you define primary and backup IP addresses for TACL
windows. For more information about configuring OSM software, see the OSM
User’s Guide.
•
Load all processors that are not currently running
Alternatively, the CIIN file can reload a minimal set of processors, such as
processor 1, to bring up a minimal system. You can then test for successful startup
of a minimal system environment before you bring up the remainder of the system.
Normally, the initial TACL process invokes the CIIN file automatically after the first
processor is loaded if all these conditions are true:
•
The CONFTEXT configuration file located in the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume has
an INITIAL_COMMAND_FILE entry for the CIIN file.
•
The CIIN file is available in the specified location.
•
The CIIN option is not disabled in the System Load dialog box.
Note. Before these TACL processes start, open the appropriate terminal emulator
windows with the OSM Low-Level Link. You must open these windows before performing
a system load.
Note. By default, the CIIN file contains commands needed to start the (permanent) TACL
process pair and to reload all the processors in the system. Do not place commands to prime
the processors in the CIIN file.
