H06.11 Software Installation and Upgrade Guide

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:
• NonStop NS-Series NS1000 Hardware Installation Manual
• NonStop NS-Series NS14000Hardware 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.
The CIIN file must be enabled because it contains commands needed to start the server.
The startup TACL process performs the commands in the CIIN file and then logs off.
For a description of the CIIN file, see the NonStop NS-Series Planning Guide.
4. Under Configuration, ensure that all the check boxes for all paths are selected.
5. Click Start System. The system load begins.
If you want to stop the load process, click Abort in the System Load dialog box. You might
wait up to 30 seconds before the abort takes effect.
CAUTION: Do not close the System Load dialog box while startup is in progress. If you
attempt to close the dialog box, an OSM message box indicates that the system startup
process will be stopped if you continue. If you stop a system startup before the operation
finishes, the state of your system cannot be predicted. You might need to perform another
system startup to enable the system to resume normal operation.
The Details dialog box displays Logon successful and Read configurations
passed:
