Starting the System 

You are now ready to designate the system configuration file and start
the Silhouette program:

   1.  Log onto user.account,group and run the Silhouette Manager
       Program:

            :HELLO user.account,group/pass 
            :RUN SILMP.PUB.SYS 

   2.  Specify the system configuration file and start Silhouette:

            >SYSTEM configfile 
            >START 

       When the >START command is issued, the system identifies the
       number of the job Silhouette is running, and a message indicating
       that the system was started:

            #Jnnn

            The Silhouette system was started successfully.  (MPWARN 55)
            >

   3.  If you have not previously verified the configuration file, do so
       now:

            >VERIFY configfile 

   4.  If logging has not been enabled, a message is displayed:

            CPOPENLOG failure #3

       This message is an indication that Silhouette has been properly
       installed.  However, if it is displayed, check that logging is
       properly enabled.

   5.  If your Silhouette operating environment is to allow the switching
       of users to the secondary system if a primary failure occurs,
       follow the steps below to prepare the secondary system:

       a.  Ensure the secondary system has an identical logging process
           to that established on the primary system using :GETLOG.

       b.  Restore a copy of the configuration file created on the
           primary system to the secondary system.

       c.  Ensure that the user specified in the configuration file has
           User Logging (LG) and System Operator (OP) capabilities.

       d.  If the account on the primary system has MAXPRI = BS
           capability the account on the secondary system must also have
           MAXPRI = BS capability.

       e.  Modify the DSLINE = line of the configuration file to specify
           the current primary for duplicating in the new direction after
           a switch occurs.

       f.  If you are using MPE V/E, ensure that the MAX NUMBER OF USERS
           PER LOGGING PROCESS parameters of the SYSDUMP configuration is
           adequate on the secondary system.  If you are using MPE XL,
           ensure that the ULOG parameter of the SYSGEN LOG Configurator
           is adequate on the secondary system.

       g.  Ensure that the density on the backup tapes is compatible for
           all systems by creating the following file equation in the
           logon UDC of the accounts on the primary system and the
           secondary system:

                :FILE SILHOUET; DEV=TAPE, DENSITY=COMPATIBLE DENSITY 

           The supported tape densities are 800, 1600, and 6250.  For
           additional information about density selection, refer to the
           FOPEN and HPFOPEN intrinsics in the MPE XL Intrinsics 
           Reference Manual (32650-90028).
