Test the Customized Operating System
14. Decide whether you want or need to make any other configuration changes, such
as adding other devices connected to Ethernet LANs to the system configuration or
changing configuration attributes of disk or tape drives.
15. If you want to change the system configuration, follow the instructions in the
NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath Guide.
Test the Customized Operating System
After each of the following steps, verify:
•
The status of the operating system
•
The status of processes brought up by the startup files
•
The status of devices on the system
•
The status of communications lines
•
The status of the network
•
The correct operation of the startup and shutdown files
•
The correct operation of the spooler subsystem
•
The correct operation of the other subsystems in the system
•
The correct operation of applications
1. Use SCF to customize your system configuration.
2. Using your startup files, start up all the system devices, except for any network
communications lines, to verify the configuration and to test the devices,
subsystems, and applications.
3. Using the startup files to bring up your network, start the communications lines and
verify the correct operation of the applications and the network.
Perform Final Tasks
1. Create the operational environment command files needed to start up and shut
down the system in the $SYSTEM.STARTUP and $SYSTEM.SHUTDOWN
subvolumes. See the NonStop S-Series Hardware Installation and FastPath Guide.
2. Set the proper ownership and file security for the startup and shutdown command
files. Refer to the Guardian User’s Guide.
3. Configure and initialize the Spooler subsystem. Refer to the Guardian User’s
Guide.
4. Configure and initialize the TMF subsystem.
5. Back up your $SYSTEM, $DSMSCM, and $AUDIT disks to tape.
6. Load and configure your system applications.
Note. Your HP trained service provider will verify the correct operation of all IOAM
components in the new system.
