Troubleshooting and Recovery Operations When
Starting the System
CIIN File Is Not Invoked During System Startup
The initial TACL process invokes the CIIN file automatically after the first processor is
loaded if all these conditions are true:
•
The CONFTEXT configuration file located in the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume has
an INITIAL_COMMAND_FILE entry for the CIIN file.
•
The CIIN file is available in the specified location.
•
The CIIN option is not disabled in the System Startup dialog box.
If the CIIN file is not invoked, you must use the initial TACL command interpreter to
reload all the remaining processors in the system.
Reload Fails
If a reload is not successful:
1. Check these locations for halt code or event messages:
•
The startup TACL window
•
The Processor Status dialog box of the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link
•
The System Status and Detailed Status boxes in the System Startup dialog box
•
OSM or TSM Event Viewer
2. Record any event messages or halt codes, and refer to the appropriate
documentation for recovery information.
•
Look up event messages in the EMS logs ($0 and $ZLOG) and refer to the
OSM or TSM Event Viewer online help or the Operator Messages Manual for
further information about the cause, effect, and recovery for any event
message.
•
Look up the halt code in the Processor Halt Codes Manual for further
information about the cause of failure and the appropriate recovery procedure.
3. Perform a processor dump, if needed, as described in Dumping a Processor to
Disk on page 11-10.
4. Correct the problem. If you cannot to correct the problem, contact your service
provider.
5. Reload the processor or processors using one of these methods:
•
From the startup TACL prompt, issue these commands for each of the
processors to be reloaded:
> RELOAD (nn), PRIME
•
If the RELOAD command cannot prime or load a processor, as indicated by
messages on the status line of the terminal-emulation window:
a. Log on to the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link.
