Loading the System
3. In the System Startup dialog box, click Start system. The system load begins.
If you want to stop the system startup process, click Abort in the System Startup
dialog box. You might wait up to 30 seconds before the abort takes effect.
Four OutsideView windows, consisting of two startup event stream windows (two
CNSL sessions) and two startup TACL windows (two CLCI sessions), are
automatically launched. It might take a few seconds before the windows appear.
One startup event stream window and one startup TACL window contain system
startup information because they represent the primary ServerNet fabric (X or Y).
The other two windows, which represent the backup ServerNet fabric, are blank.
If one or more of the startup event stream windows or startup TACL windows does
not launch on the system console after a few minutes, you must connect to MSP 1
within each window. This step is described in the NonStop S-Series Operations
Guide.
4. Monitor the system startup process. Messages indicating the progress and
completion of the system load, as well as the reload of processors indicated in the
CIIN file, appear in these display locations on the system console:
5. When the system load is complete (the operating system is loaded successfully
into the memory of processor 0 or processor 1), the System Status box on the
System Startup dialog box displays:
SYSTEM STARTUP COMPLETE, NSK RUNNING ON PROCESSOR n
•
If nothing appears in any of the startup event stream windows and startup
TACL windows, you must connect to MSP 1 within each window. For
instructions, see the NonStop S-Series Operations Guide.
•
If the system load fails, look for halt codes or messages displayed in the
System Startup dialog box or related events in the OSM or TSM Event Viewer.
For recovery procedures, see the Processor Halt Codes Manual or Operator
Messages Manual and contact your service provider.
Caution. Do not close the System Startup dialog box while startup is in progress. If you
attempt to close the dialog box, an OSM or TSM 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.
