Starting SWCI
Starting SWCI
1. Before starting SWCI, review these considerations:
•
You must be a super-group user (255, n) to run SWCI.
•
When you start SWCI, SWCI checks for the device specified in the RUN
command. If that device exists, SWCI checks the device type and subtype,
which must be type 6 (terminal type), subtype 0 (asynchronous serial device).
•
If the device type and subtype are incorrect, SWCI returns an error message.
•
If the specified device name does not exist on the specified node, SWCI
returns an error message and terminates.
2. Start SWCI from a terminal connected to a server.
•
To start SWCI from a NonStop Himalaya S-Series server directly connected to
a specific switch module, at a TACL prompt, type:
1> RUN $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SWCI $switchmoduledevice
where:
$switchmoduledevice
is the device name of the switch module
At startup, SWCI displays the command prompt:
SWCI $switchmoduledevice >
For example:
1> RUN $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SWCI $NDSWA.#TERM
starts SWCI and displays the command prompt:
$NDSWA.#TERM >
Note. Although it is possible to run SWCI from other servers connected to the switch module,
Himalaya S-series servers are the only servers documented in this guide.
