Preparing Your System for Recovery
1. Power on the system.
2. Insert the FPT for this system into the DDS device. Ensure that
the cassette is a read-only tape. (The tab on the right read edge
should be pushed to the left of the cassette so the recognition
hole is open). The load sequence is finished when the cassette
light remains on.
3. Press the CTRL and B keys at the same time. You will see a CM>
prompt on your screen. Connect to the service processor and
restart the system.
CM>SP
SP>RS

Do not respond to "Press any key within 10 seconds to cancel boot
with this configuration."
If the system does not respond within ten seconds power, the
system off and then back on again.
4. After the console screen displays 5 to 10 minutes of restart
messages, the system displays a screen similar to the following.
Respond N to "Continue with primary boot path?" prompt.

After responding Y to the previous questions, the system boots
from the FPT. After the system has completed the loading process,
the ISL> prompt is displayed.
To install with the HP FPT
1. Enter the INSTALL command to install the HP 3000 Series 990 or 992
with the FPT.
ISL>INSTALL
While the installation process is taking place, it is important
that you monitor the process at the console. Note any errors that
may be reported to the screen for future action.
2. Following some tape activity (up to 3 minutes), you are prompted
to confirm the date and time, as shown in the following screen.
If the date and time displayed are accurate, respond Y; if no,
respond N, and enter the correct date and time when prompted.
Time must be entered in 24-hour format. (For example, 5:00 pm is
entered as 17:00.) Seconds default to 00 if not specified.

It takes 10 to 20 minutes to restore the files from the FPT.
During this time, the system displays initialization and restore
messages. Do not respond to "Press any key within 10 seconds to

3. Once the system reboots, you will see the ISL> prompt. Start the
system from the disk, using the configuration name that is most
appropriate for your system. Please consult appendix A for a
listing of the available sample configurations.
ISL>START NORECOVERY;GROUP=configname
4. The system displays a series of startup messages, and you are
again prompted to confirm the date and time. If you do not
respond Y or N within 15 seconds, the system assumes the displayed
date and time by default and continues with the startup.
If the date and time displayed are accurate, respond Y. If not,
respond N and enter the correct date and time. Time must be
entered in 24-hour format. (For example, 5:00 pm is entered as
17:00. Seconds default to 00 if not specified.)

To complete the recovery using the HP FPT
1. When the recovery process is complete, log on to the console and
start the spooler and streams device.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
:SPOOLER LP;START
:STREAMS streams device
_________________________________________________________________
NOTE During the log on to the INSTALL group, you may see the
following message:
WARNING: GROUP OUT OF CONNECT TIME (CCIWARD 1494)
You can ignore this message, it does not affect your install
process.
_________________________________________________________________
2. Run SYSGEN and keep the boot configuration as follows:
:SYSGEN
sysgen> KEEP CONFIG
Purge old configuration (yes/no)? Y
Keep configuration anyway (yes/no)? Y
sysgen> EXIT
3. If you purchased additional disks, you may need to add them to
your system. Run DSTAT to check the status of the volume disks on
your system.
:DSTAT ALL
4. If your volumes are not in a Master or Member status, use the
following VOLUTIL commands to change the status of the volume
disks to Master or Member.
:VOLUTIL
VOLUTIL:SCRATCHVOL n
*Verify: Scratch volume on ldev n [Y/N]? Y
VOLUTIL:NEWVOL MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBERn n 100 100 DISC
*Verify:Initialize new member volume . . MEMBERn on ldev n?Y
VOLUTIL:EXIT
The n in the above commands refers to the address of the disk you
are adding to your system. Repeat these commands to add
additional disks to your system. Replace n with the address of
the additional disk(s).
5. When you have completed adding the volumes to your system, run
DSTAT again to ensure that all volumes have been mounted.
6. Remove the cassette from the tape drive and then re-insert it into
the same DDS device in order for the cassette to rewind. Wait for
the drive to load the cassette and perform a short load sequence.
The load sequence is complete and the cassette is online when the
cassette light is on.
7. At the system prompt, run HPINSTAL to update the system with the
new FPT. Be sure to use the INFO parameter RECOVERY when you enter
the following command.
:RUN HPINSTAL.INSTALL;INFO="RECOVERY"

_______________________________________________________________
Note that the FPT is represented by the term CSLT on the console
screen.
8. Reply to the tape request by pressing CTRL and A to get the =
prompt. The reply should include both the PIN number and the LDEV
number of the tape drive.

No additional input is required. The HPINSTAL utility restores
the program/data files from the Store component of the FPT,
streams SUPACCT to create the appropriate account structure, and
streams installation files (if any). When these processes are
complete, HPINSTAL lists any subsystem products that require
additional manual steps to complete the installation. The screen
you see is similar to the following:
____________________________________________________
| |
| |
| *WARNING -- This program cannot install |
| the products listed below. (INSTWARN #1) |
| product name |
| product name |
| . |
| . |
| . |
| |
| |
____________________________________________________
These product names are written to a file you will use when you
bring the system up in chapter 2.
When the HPINSTAL process is completed, you see the following
message on the screen.
___________________________________________

| |
| The installation is now complete |
