Using SYSFILE Configurator Commands

The SYSFILE configurator commands perform five actions (add, delete, replace, list, and specify) on eight objects (autoboot image, boot image, compatibility mode segmented library (CMSL), system program, system catalog, network configuration (NETWORK CONFIG), initial program loader (IPL) image, and native mode library (NM LIBRARY)). In addition, the SYSFILE configurator provides other commands, some of which are common to other SYSGEN configurators: CLEAR, EXIT, HELP, HOLD, OCLOSE, and the colon (:).

Table 8-1 shows a command matrix of the add, delete, replace, list, and specify commands. The objects are listed from top to bottom, and the actions are listed from left to right.

All commands have a two- or three-character abbreviation.

	CAUTION: Do not use the SYSFILE> RSPROG command to rename Hewlett-Packard supplied MPE/iX HP 3000 system files. A renamed system file can corrupt your system during an update. This problem can occur if you have third party software installed on your system and you have renamed some system files to use this software. Use the SHOW command in SYSFILE to ensure that all Hewlett-Packard supplied system files have retained their original name. System filenames in both columns should be identical. If they are not identical, rename the files in the second column to the filename in the first column.

	NOTE: The examples used to demonstrate SYSFILE configurator commands may produce display screens that do not exactly match output from your system. What SYSGEN displays depends entirely on how your system is configured.
