CIIN File
CIIN File
The CIIN file contains a limited set of commands that usually:
•
Start a TACL process pair on the system console for the system console TACL
window ($YMIOP.#CLCI)
When the startup TACL executes the commands in the CIIN file and terminates,
the $YMIOP.#CLCI process pair lets you log on to the system and complete the
system startup.
OSM or TSM software lets you define primary and backup IP addresses for TACL
windows. For more information about configuring OSM or TSM software, see the
OSM User’s Guide or the TSM Configuration Guide.
•
Load all processors that are not currently running
Alternatively, the CIIN file can reload a minimal set of processors, such as
processor 1, to bring up a minimal system. You can then test for successful startup
of a minimal system environment before you bring up the remainder of the system.
Establishing a CIIN File
The CIIN file is configured at the factory as $DSMSCM.SYS.CIIN. You do not need to
establish this file. DSM/SCM automatically copies the CIIN file from the initial location
into each SYSnn you create.
The name of the CIIN file is specified in the INITIAL_COMMAND_FILE entry of the
CONFTEXT configuration file.
The SYSGENR program (run from the DSM/SCM application) copies the file specified
in the CONFTEXT file onto the SYSnn subvolume on the disk and renames the file
CIIN. If no file is specified in CONFEXT, the operating system does not look for the
startup file SYSnn.CIIN at system startup, even if you enable that file. You cannot
simply copy a startup file to the SYSnn subvolume and name it CIIN.
For information about SYSGENR, see the System Generation Manual for G-Series
RVUs.
Note. Before these TACL processes start, open the appropriate HP Tandem terminal
emulator (TTE) windows with the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link. You must open these
windows before performing a system load.
Note. The CIIN file must be owned by a member of the super-group (255,n). HP recommends
that you specify “N” for the read access portion of the file security attribute (RWEP) to allow the
file to be read by any user on the network. For example, you might secure this file “NCCC.”
