Commercial Systems Division Introduction | |
The I/O configuration on a 997 server has one additional hardware
layer (the HP-PB I/O bus converter) compared to the earlier Corporate
Business Servers (990, 991, 992, 995, and 996). As a result, the
system I/O configuration on a 997 needs to be updated to reflect
this additional hardware layer. IOCNVRT.PUB.SYS | |
The command file IOCNVRT.PUB.SYS
is used to convert the system SYSGEN
I/O configuration from a pre-997 Corporate Business Server configuration
to a 997 configuration, or vice versa. :IOCNVRT {source group}, {target group} |
Title not available (Syntax: ) - source group
is the name of a valid SYSGEN
configuration group in the SYS
account, containing the "source system" I/O configuration. This
is a required parameter. The files in the source group
will remain untouched unless the target group
name is the same as the source group.
The group must exist, and its files must be valid for IOCNVRT
to work. - target group
is the name of the SYSGEN
configuration group in the SYS
account into which the "target system" configuration files will
be stored. This is a required parameter. If the group does not exist,
it will be created by the program.
This command converts a pre-997 configuration in the group
CONFIG.SYS into
a 997 configuration in the same group CONFIG.SYS. :IOCNVRT CONFIG, NEWCONFG |
This command converts a pre-997 configuration in the group
CONFIG.SYS into
a 997 configuration and places it into the group NEWCONFG.SYS. JADETOOL | |
The JADETOOL
utility is used to convert a pre-997 Corporate Business Server data
communications configuration to a 997 data communications configuration. :JADETOOL
Jade Tool Version A0000006
W A R N I N G ! ! ! ! !
This program is only to be used after authorization from HP
In a failure situation, use of this program could corrupt
the configuration file which could result in a system abort
It is recommended that this program be only used on a copy
of the NMCONFIG configuration file
Do you understand and agree to the above warning? (Y/N) y
Enter file name to convert: NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS |
Restrictions | |
IOCNVRT
requires that its user has SM
(System Manager) capability, as a safety measure to prevent unauthorized
or inadvertent changes to the system configuration file groups. JADETOOL
does not automatically convert RJE link I/O paths. This means that
any users of RJE must reconfigure those links manually in NMMGR. Recommended Sequence of Steps for Upgrading from a
Pre-997 to a 997 | |
The recommended order for upgrading a pre-997 Corporate Business
Server (990, 991,992, 995 or 996) to a 997 server follows: Update the system with C.55.05 or C.6.0. Reboot the system. Back up the S995 CONFIG.SYS
group and the file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS. | | | |  | NOTE: In the event that you need to convert back to the pre-997
configuration, these files will be needed. | | | | |
Convert the SYSGEN
configuration files using the command file IOCNVRT.:IOCNVRT
CONFG995,CONFG997 where your current 995 SYSGEN
configuration files are located in the group CONFG995.SYS
and the new 997 SYSGEN
configuration files will be placed in the group CONFG997.SYS. Convert the file NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS
using the tool JADETOOL. :RUN JADETOOL If RJE links are used on the system, run NMMGR
to update any RJE links. :RUN NMMGR.PUB.SYS Shut down the system. Upgrade the hardware to a 997. Reboot the system using the new configuration group. :START NO RECOVERY GROUP=NEWCONFIG If the 997 SYSGEN
configuration files are not in the group CONFIG.SYS,
copy them into the CONFIG.SYS
group. Validate DTS. :RUN NMMGR.PUB.SYS Shut down and reboot the system from CONFIG.SYS
configuration group.
