Troubleshooting and Recovery Operations When
Starting the System
2. Select Session>New. The New Session Properties dialog box appears.
3. On the Session tab, in the Session Caption box, type a session caption name such
as Startup Events or Startup TACL.
4. Click IO Properties. The TCP/IP Properties dialog box appears.
5. Type the IP address of MSP 0 or MSP 1 (depending on which is the primary MSP),
followed by a space, the port number of the window type (303 for the startup event
stream window, and 301 for the startup TACL window).
For example, for the startup event stream window:
192.231.36.2 303
Then, for the startup TACL window:
192.231.36.2 301
6. Click OK. The TCP/IP Properties dialog box closes, and you are returned to the
New Session Properties dialog box.
7. Click OK. The startup event stream window or startup TACL window appears. A
TACL prompt appears in the startup TACL window.
Consult the OSM or TSM Event Viewers for any important system startup messages
logged to the EMS log that you might have missed while opening the terminal-
emulation windows.
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
Note. If you do not know which MSP is the primary, try MSP 0. If there is no response, try
MSP 1.
