The Load Processor-n From Disk Dialog Box
For example, if you load the \EAST system from the CONFBASE file (which
specifies \NONAME as the system name), an INFO SUBSYS $ZZKRN command
displays \EAST as the current system and \NONAME as a pending change. Enter
an ALTER SUBSYS command to change the system name to \EAST and cause
the pending change to disappear. It is not displayed when you enter INFO
SUBSYS again.
The Load Processor-n From Disk Dialog Box
Use the Load Processor-n From Disk dialog box to perform a system load from a
specified disk along a specified path to a specified processor. This dialog box functions
differently from the System Startup dialog. If the specified path fails, no other path is
tried. Use this dialog box only in certain circumstances. For example:
•
If you are performing a system load from system disks that are located in any slots
other than slots 1.1.11 and 1.1.12.
•
If you need to recover from a system freeze. This procedure allows you to perform
processor dumps, if necessary, because the processors not being loaded are not
primed.
Messages indicating the progress of the load appear in the Processor Status dialog
box of the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link. The startup event stream windows and
Startup TACL windows are not launched automatically when the CIIN file is disabled.
Alerts
•
All the processors in the system must be halted before you perform a system load
using the Load Processor-n From Disk dialog box. If you initiate a system load
while processors are running, a message appears asking whether you want to
proceed. If you click Yes, the system load begins.
•
You cannot cancel a system load from the Load Processor-n from Disk dialog box
once the load has been initiated.
•
The CIIN file must be disabled if you need to dump other processors before they
are reloaded. Disabling the CIIN file prevents any processors configured to reload
in that file from being reloaded.
•
Do not prime or reset the processors.
Before You Begin
Before you use the Load Processor-n From Disk dialog box:
1. Stop the system and verify that all processors are halted as described in Stopping
the System on page 16-18.
2. Log on to the OSM or TSM Low-Level Link.
3. Select File>Start Terminal Emulator>For Startup TACL.
