NonStop Operations Guide for H-Series and J-Series RVUs

Expand Direct-Connect Line Startup File
This example shows an SCF command file that starts an Expand direct-connect line on a SWAN
concentrator.
This file can be invoked automatically from the STRTSYS file, or you can invoke it by using the
following TACL command:
> SCF / IN $SYSTEM.STARTUP.STRTLH, OUT $ZHOME /
== This is $SYSTEM.STARTUP.STRTLH
START LINE $Case2elh
Tips for Shutdown Files
HP recommends that you specify “N” for the read access portion of the file security attribute (RWEP)
for your shutdown files to allow the files to be read by any user on the network. For example, you
might secure these files “NCCC.”
The sequence in which you invoke shutdown files can be important. Some processes require other
processes to be stopped before they can be stopped. Be sure to indicate the order in which shutdown
files are to be run.
Shutdown File Examples
You can implement the system shutdown sequence with a collection of shutdown files, each with
a specific purpose. HP recommends that you invoke the shutdown files in this order:
1. Shutdown files for the applications
2. Shutdown files for the communications lines
3. Shutdown files for the subsystems
4. Shutdown files for the system software
5. Shutdown file for the system
NOTE: Examples and sample programs are for illustration only and might not be suited for
your particular purpose. HP does not warrant, guarantee, or make any representations
regarding the use or the results of the use of any examples or sample programs in any
documentation. You must verify the applicability of any example or sample program before
placing the software into production use. For other information about these examples, see
“Example Command Files” (page 202).
System Shutdown File
This example shows a TACL command file that shuts down the system software and invokes other
shutdown files.
The local operator invokes this file by entering the following TACL command:
> OBEY $SYSTEM.SHUTDOWN.STOPSYS
NOTE: Shutting down the system in an orderly fashion does not require that you shut down every
process. Some processes that have startup files might not need shutdown files.
comment -- This is $SYSTEM.SHUTDOWN.STOPSYS
comment -- Use this file to shut the system down in an orderly fashion.
comment -- Shut down the CP6100 lines associated with the SWAN concentrator
SCF/ IN $SYSTEM.SHUTDOWN.SDNCP6, OUT $ZHOME /
