Figure 10-2. Creating a System Load Tape Sample
Make your system configuration changes through the utility configurators.
For information, refer to System Startup, Configuration, and Shutdown
Reference Manual (32650-90042). Return to the first-level SYSGEN menu
and keep the changes to the new configuration group:
sysgen>KEEP
or
sysgen>KE
Keeping to group NEWFIG
Purge old configuration (yes/no)?Y
sysgen>
At this point, your configuration changes have been saved to disk under
the configuration group NEWFIG. If you specify NEWFIG as the base group
and you issue the TAPE command, NEWFIG is written to the backup as
CONFIG.SYS, overwriting the default configuration files.
Recall the new configuration and generate a system load backup:
sysgen>BA NEWFIG
sysgen>TA
If you are completely confident that you have a working configuration,
exit SYSGEN. Otherwise, recall the original CONFIG.SYS and store it under
a different group name:
sysgen>BASEGROUP CONFIG
or
sysgen>BA CONFIG
sysgen>KEEP OLDFIG
sysgen>
sysgen>EXIT
END OF SUBSYSTEM
:
If the system does not boot under the new CONFIG group, you can use the
START GROUP=OLDFIG option under the initial system loader (ISL) to boot
the system under the original CONFIG group. For more information on the
ISL START command and options, refer to System Startup, Configuration,
and Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042).
