This section describes how you create the autoboot format file. The autoboot format file is a specially formatted file and is required to add a system autoboot file. To create the autoboot format file, follow these steps: Log on to the console as MGR.TELESUP,HP36375. At the system prompt, enter:
:HELLO MGR[/userpass].TELESUP[/acctpass],HP36375
|
Create a text file named AUTOIN, containing the sequence of ISL commands that you want the system to perform at system boot. The file should contain one ISL command per line. The following example creates a text file that contains DUMP followed by START -R (enable the restart feature):
:RUN EDITOR.PUB.SYS
HP32201A.07.18 EDIT/3000 THU, JAN 18, 1990, 9:34 AM
(C) HEWLETT-PACKARD CO. 1989
/ADD
1 DUMP
2 START -R start_options
3 //
...
/KEEP AUTOIN.HP36375.TELESUP
/EXIT
END OF PROGRAM
|
Use the AutoRestart/iX FORMAT utility to convert the contents of AUTOIN.HP36375.TELESUP to a file named AUTOOUT with the required format. The FORMAT utility looks for a file named AUTOIN in your current logon group. Format then creates the format file AUTOOUT in the same group. At the system prompt, enter:
:RUN FORMAT.HP36375.TELESUP
|
The following is displayed:
Autoutil 1.0: A.43.11
AUTOIN converted to autoboot format file AUTOOUT

Purge the file AUTOIN.HP36375.TELESUP. At the system prompt, enter:
