NonStop NS-Series Operations Guide (H06.12+)

Using TACL RELOAD to Perform Reload
Run the RELOAD utility to reload the remaining processors after the first processor in a system
has been brought up, or to recover a processor that has failed.
The H-series RELOAD utility allows you to omit (or exclude) a Blade Element from the reload
operation. This allows you get the processor running for the PEs on the other Blade Elements,
take a dump of the PE on the omitted Blade Element, and then reintegrate it back into the running
processor. The OMITBLADE parameter allows you to specify the Blade Element (A, B, or C) to be
excluded from the reload or, used without specifying a particular Blade Element, OMITBLADE
selects a Blade Element to be excluded.
1. From the OSM Low-Level Link, select File>Start Terminal Emulator.
2. From the menu, select For Startup TACL. Two OutsideView windows appear, or an
MR-Win6530 session, if using OSM Low-Level Link version T0633AAT or later.
3. In the Enter Telnet IP Address box, type the IP address that is currently configured for your
primary service connection. If the processor for the primary service connection IP address
is down, type the IP address that is currently configured for your backup service connection.
4. Click OK. The TACL window is active, and the TACL1> prompt appears.
5. Enter the super ID (255,255) and press Enter.
6. Type the password and press Enter.
A $SYSTEM STARTUP 1> prompt appears (the prompt depends on your defaults).
7. Use the RELOAD command as appropriate for your scenario.
NOTE: If you plan to dump the PE for one Blade Element after reloading, use RELOAD
with the OMITBLADE parameter. If you don’t know which Blade Element to specify, use
OMITBLADE without specifying A, B, or C. RELOAD will choose an appropriate Blade
Element, and reply with the letter of the Blade Element that was omitted. Use this to specify
the Blade Element in the RCVDUMP command.
RELOAD [ / run-option [ , run-option ] ... / ]
cpu-set [; cpu-set ] ...
run-option is any of the options described in the RUN[D|V] Command, in the HP
NonStop TACL Reference Manual.
cpu-set is a set of processors (and options) to be reloaded. Specify cpu-set as:
{ cpu-range } [, option, option, ... ] { ( cpu-range, cpu-range, ...) }
{ * }
cpu-range is one of these:
cpu cpu-cpu
cpu is the processor
number, an integer
from 0 through 15.
cpu-cpu is two processor
numbers separated by
a hyphen, specifying a
range of processors. In
a range specification,
the first processor
number must be less
than the second.
