RELOAD Program (Super-Group Only)

Run the RELOAD program to reload the remaining processors after the first processor

in a system has been brought up, or to recover a processor that has failed. You must

use a super-group user ID (255,your-id) to issue this command.

This command should be used only as part of a documented system startup or

processor recovery procedure. Refer to the sections Processors: Monitoring and

Recovery and Starting and Stopping the System in the NonStop NS-Series Operations

Guide or NonStop S-Series Operations Guide for further details.

The hardware architecture of H-series systems requires a change of terminology.

There are now logical processors that consist of one to three physical processors

known as processor elements (PEs). The logical processor is what used to be called

the CPU. For availability issues, the processor elements are all located on different

circuit boards. These boards are known as blades (or slices) and are identified by the

letters A, B, or C.

The H-series RELOAD program allows you to omit a selected slice from the reload.

This will prevent the selected PE on that slice from reloading. Other PEs on that slice

belong to other logical processors and therefore remain unaffected by these

operations.

You may then perform a parallel dump of that PEs memory while continuing to perform

normal operations on the other newly-reloaded PEs within that logical processor. The

parallel method is a time-saving way to dump the memory of a single PE. See the

RCVDUMP Program (Super-Group or Super ID Only) on page 8-132 for further details.

Note that in the following H-series syntax all references to processor are references to

the logical processor or CPU, except where the term processor element or PE is

explicitly used.

H-Series Syntax

run-option

is any of the options described in the RUN[D|V] Command

on page 8-156.

cpu-set

is a set of processors (and associated options) to be reloaded. Specify cpu-set

as:

RELOAD [ / run-option [ , run-option ] ... / ]

cpu-set [; cpu-set ] ...
