Using the System Generator (SYSGEN)
Generating a System Load Tape
sysgen>KEEP NEWCONFG (Sample name only)
If changes are being saved to a group that has existing configuration files, SYSGEN asks if
that group should be overwritten:
sysgen>KEEP FEUDAL
purge old configuration (yes/no) ?NO
** configuration files not saved **
Answering NO cancels the command.
If insufficient space exists on the main system disk to accommodate the creation of a new
configuration group, SYSGEN issues a message indicating this. SYSGEN then terminates,
losing the temporary files and the changes.
Generating a System Load Tape
The TAPE command (abbreviated TA) generates an SLT from system configuration
information. The configuration is written to the CONFIG group of the SYS account on the
tape.
TAPE has the following syntax:
TAPE { [MODE = ][VERBOSE
NOCHANGE
NOCONFIG
NODIAG
NOLOGNUM
LOGNUM ] {[DEST = ]OFFLINE }
{ [STORE = ]"filesetliststring"}
VERBOSE prompts the TAPE command to list the number of nonuser files to be dumped and
lists the name of each file as it is dumped to the boot tape.
By default, SYSGEN changes SYSFILE configurations as they are dumped to tape, so
source name equals the destination name.
NOCHANGE prevents SYSGEN from changing the names in the SYSFILE configurator as it
makes the boot tape.
NOCONFIG prevents SYSGEN from dumping the current configuration files as it makes the
tape.
NODIAG prevents SYSGEN from dumping the diagnostic files as it makes the tape.
NOTE Using this parameter creates a tape that does not contain a complete system.
Installing from this tape may not produce a bootable system.
