Running DSM/SCM and SYSGENR
This section describes how to run the Distributed Systems Management/Software
Configuration Manager (DSM/SCM), which in turn runs SYSGENR; lists SYSGENR
prompts and messages that appear during its run; and describes how to create a
system image disk (SID) and a system image tape (SIT). This section also lists the
contents of the new operating system created by SYSGENR.
This section includes the following topics:
Overview
On a NonStop S-series server, you can create a TNS/R operating system for a G-
series RVU. To do so, you must:
•
Use the F40 or later version of SYSGENR.
•
Use a G-series CONFTEXT file, which contains only an ALLPROCESSORS
paragraph.
•
Specify the SYSTEM_PROCESSOR_TYPE entry for your NonStop S-series server, as
described on page 2-13. For a complete list of available processor types, refer to
the HP S-Series Planning and Configuration Guide.
On a NonStop S-series server, you can create a TNS or TNS/R operating system for a
pre-G-series RVU. To do so, you must:
•
Use a version of SYSGEN (to create a TNS operating system) or SYSGENR (to
create a TNS/R operating system) that supports the earlier server.
•
Use a pre-G-series CONFTEXT file, which contains multiple paragraphs, including
CONTROLLERS and PERIPHERALS.
•
Specify the correct system processor type in the CONFTEXT file.
•
Refer to the system generation manual for that earlier RVU.
To configure the system disk so that it is visible from a C-series system, add the
COLDLOAD_PROCESS_LOWPIN entry to the ALLPROCESSORS paragraph, as
described on page 2-4.
