The System Startup Dialog Box
•
Base (CONFBASE) is the most basic configuration required for system
startup. You will probably never need to load the system from the
CONFBASE file. However, if the current configuration file has become
corrupted and there is no other configuration file from which you can load
the system, use this option.
4. Make sure that the CIIN disabled check box is not selected if you want the
command in the CIIN file to execute.
5. Click Start system.
6. Check for messages in these windows and dialog boxes:
•
System Startup dialog box
°
System Status box (initial high-level messages). These messages are not
logged to a file.
°
Detailed Status box (low-level messages).
•
The primary startup event stream window (startup event stream messages)
•
The primary startup TACL window (startup messages)
7. Click Save to file to save the messages in the Detailed Status box.
8. Wait for the System Status box on the System Startup dialog box to display a
“System Startup Complete” message.
9. Close the System Startup dialog box.
10. In the Processor Status dialog box, check the status of all processors. Processor 0
or 1 must be running. Determine whether you need to reload any remaining
processors.
11. If necessary, repeat these steps for each processor that must be reloaded:
a. From the Startup TACL window, log on to the system as a super-group user
(255,n).
b. At the TACL prompt:
> RELOAD nn
where nn is the processor number of the processor to reload.
12. Wait until the Processor Status dialog box shows the status for all processors to be
“Executing NonStop OS.”
13. If you loaded the system from an earlier configuration—either a saved version
(CONFxxyy) or the CONFBASE file—enter INFO SUBSYS $ZZKRN at the TACL
prompt to verify that no pending changes to system attributes appear. Pending
changes can appear (but are misleading) if the earlier configuration has different
system name, number, or time attributes than the configuration you replaced.
