Functions on D-Series Systems Functions on G-Series Systems
COUP and the CONFTEXT file
permanently configure controllers
and peripherals, as well as system-
level attributes for all processors.
SCF is used to complete the
configuration of communications
devices and subdevices
.
SCF is enhanced to automatically configure all system
devices and subdevices after the system is loaded.
This enhancement is described in this manual and in
other manuals listed on page xii
. The CONFTEXT file
contains only the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph,
which configures a few system attributes. See
CONFTEXT Paragraph Conversion
on page C-11.
COUP and the ALLPROCESSORS
paragraph of the CONFTEXT file
are used to configure some system
attributes.
SCF is enhanced to configure several system
attributes. This enhancement is described in the SCF
Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem.
SYSGENR builds into the
OSIMAGE operating system image
file the actual processes that are
specified in the CONFTEXT file to
control particular hardware objects.
Most I/O processes are not prebuilt by SYSGENR.
Rather, the subsystems place information about these
processes into the system configuration database.
COUP and its ZZPIM files are used
to configure generic processes.
SCF is enhanced to configure generic processes.
This enhancement is described in the SCF Reference
Manual for the Kernel Subsystem. See also COUP
Command Conversion on page C-8.
COUP uses the
SYSnn.OSCONFIG file to store its
configuration information.
The SYSnn.OSCONFIG file still exists, but contains
only Software Problem Isolation and Fix Facility
(SPIFF) and Software ID (SWID) records.
PUP is used to control and monitor
peripheral devices, especially
disks.
SCF is enhanced to control and monitor all peripheral
devices, including disks. These enhancements are
described in the SCF Reference Manual for the
Storage Subsystem. See also PUP Command
Conversion on page C-10.
CMI is used to configure and
control ATP6100, CP6100, and
EnvoyACP/XF subdevices.
SCF is enhanced to configure and control ATP6100,
CP6100, and EnvoyACP/XF. These enhancements
are described in the Asynchronous Terminals and
Printer Processes Configuration and Management
Manual for devices, and the SCF Reference Manual
for the Kernel Subsystem, CP6100 Configuration and
Management Manual, and EnvoyACP/XF
Configuration and Management Manualices. See
also CMI Command Conversion
