Halt the Processors
If you have problems performing a system load, see the NonStop NS-Series
Operations Guide, Section 15.
Halt the Processors
1. Log on to the OSM Low-Level Link.
2. On the toolbar, click Processor Status to display the Processor Status dialog box.
3. Under Processor Status, select all processors.
4. From the Processor Actions list, select Halt.
5. Click Perform action.
6. Click OK when asked “Are you sure you want to do Halts?”
7. When the Action Status box confirms that all processors have halted, close the
Processor Status dialog box.
Loading the System
If the automatic system load is not successful using one load path, the system load
task attempts to use another path and keeps trying until all possible paths have been
used or the system load is successful. Eight paths are available for loading.
The command interpreter input (CIIN) file is automatically invoked after the first
processor is loaded. The CIIN file contains the TACL RELOAD * command, which
loads the remaining processors.
For details on load paths, see the NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Manual.
Steps for Loading the System
A normal system load consists of loading the operating system from disk into the
memory of processor 0 or processor 1:
1. In the OSM Low-Level Link, select Start System. The System Load dialog box
appears.
2. From the Configuration drop-down menu under System Load Configuration, select
a system load volume. You can select the $SYSTEM, FCDM-Load, SCSI-Load, or
an alternate system volume.
3. In the SYSnn box, enter nn, which is the number of the system subvolume that
contains the version of the operating system you will load, the version created by
DSM/SCM.
a. Under Configuration File, select Current (CONFIG), the default configuration
file that represents the configuration currently running.
b. Under SYSnn and CIIN Option, verify that the CIIN Disabled option is not
selected.
