applicability of any example or sample program before placing the software into production
use.
• These examples are for a system whose configuration has been changed from the
factory-installed configuration. Your system’s initial configuration will differ from these
examples.
The startup files in this section assume that the objects they start have already been added
to the system configuration database.
• The IP addresses used in this section are examples only. If you use the example files described
in this section on your system, you must change the IP addresses in these examples to IP
addresses that are appropriate for your LAN environment.
• The configuration track-ID for the SWAN concentrator used in the example files, X001XX,
is also an example.
If you use the example files described in this section on your system, you must change the
configuration track-ID used in these examples to the actual configuration track-ID assigned
to your SWAN concentrator.
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.
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.
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.
