Modifying a CIIN File
Modifying a CIIN File
After the CIIN file is established on $SYSTEM.SYSnn (as part of running DSM/SCM),
you can modify the contents of SYSnn.CIIN with a text editor such as TEDIT. You need
not run DSM/SCM again to make these changes effective.
You might want to modify the RELOAD command in the CIIN file to reload only a
minimal set of processors, such as processor 1.
If a CIIN File Is Not Specified or Enabled in OSM or TSM
The results of the startup TACL process varies depending on whether a CIIN file is
specified in the CONFTEXT file and whether the CIIN option is enabled.
Note. Do not start other command files in the CIIN file. To ensure proper startup and to
facilitate recovery in case of failure, bring up the system in stages, each verified by an
operator.
CONFTEXT CIIN Entry
and CIIN File
CIIN
Option Results
1. CONFTEXT has CIIN
entry, and file is
available in specified
location.
Enabled CIIN is executed by initial (startup) TACL process.
Upon completion, this TACL process terminates. You
must log on to a different TACL process (the TACL
process on $YMIOP.#CLCI started by the CIIN file)
to complete the system startup process.
2. CONFTEXT has CIIN
entry, and file is
available in specified
location, but file is
empty or aborts
because of syntax
errors before another
TACL process is
started.
Enabled CIIN is executed by initial (startup) TACL process.
Upon completion, this TACL process terminates,
leaving no TACL process available. You must reload
the system with the CIIN option disabled in the
System Startup dialog box invoked from the OSM or
TSM Low-Level Link; then log on and correct the
CIIN file. Then, either enable the CIIN option, using
the System Startup dialog box, and reload; or
complete the system startup process manually.
3. CONFTEXT has CIIN
entry, but file is not
available in specified
location.
Enabled Initial TACL process is started and left in logged-off
state. You must log on to complete the system
startup process.
4. CONFTEXT has CIIN
entry.
Disabled Initial TACL process is started and left in logged-off
state. You must log on to complete the system
startup process.
5. CONFTEXT has no
CIIN entry.
Enabled
or
disabled
Initial TACL process is started and left logged on to
the super ID (255,255). You must initiate the
remainder of the system startup process manually
and then log off.
