Migration Considerations
This illustration shows the system load paths.
The command interpreter input (CIIN) file is automatically invoked after the first
processor is loaded. The CIIN file shipped with new systems contains the TACL
RELOAD * command, which loads the remaining processors.
For default configurations of the FCSAs, Fibre Channel disk modules, and load disks,
see Example IOAM and Fibre Channel Disk Module Configurations on page 6-23. For
system load procedures, see the NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Manual.
Migration Considerations
This subsection describes where to find documentation about migrating from NonStop
S-series systems to Integrity NonStop NS-series systems:
Migrating Applications
The H-Series Application Migration Guide is the primary source of information for
migrating applications. It provides summaries, overviews, references to product-
specific documentation where appropriate, and information about:
