Default Conﬁgurations Used by INSTALL and UPDATE

Using SYSGEN to Copy the Files

You must use SYSGEN to copy conﬁguration groups. Using other methods to copy

conﬁguration ﬁles removes key elements and corrupts the ﬁles.

To copy a default conﬁguration group into the conﬁguration group CONFIG, follow the

instructions outlined below:

1. Activate SYSGEN.

Entering SYSGEN activates SYSGEN’s global module.

:SYSGEN

SYSGEN version B.06.01 : catalog version B.06.02 FRI, MAY 20, 1988

** First level command **

io log (lo) misc (mi) spu (sp)

sysfile (sy)

basegroup (ba) keep (ke) permyes (pe) show (sh)

tape (ta)

clear (cl)(c) exit (ex)(e) help (he)(h) oclose (oc)

redo

sysgen>

2. Specify the base group on which to operate.

Specify the group that more closely matches your system. Enter:

sysgen>BASEGROUP

basegroupname

3. Modify the conﬁguration if necessary.

If your system requires a conﬁguration other than that provided by default, use the IO

conﬁgurator to modify the current base group to meet your system’s requirements.

Refer to the chapter in this manual, that discusses the types of changes that you must

make. After making any changes, hold them (issue the HOLD command in each

conﬁgurator used to make changes), and return to SYSGEN’s global module.

4. Save the conﬁguration to disk as CONFIG.

After you have completed making changes, if any, save the conﬁguration to the CONFIG

group. Enter:

sysgen>KEEP CONFIG
