Adding the Autoboot File to Your System's Configuration

Log on to the console as MANAGER.SYS. At the system prompt, enter:

   :HELLO MANAGER[/userpass].SYS[/acctpass]

Invoke SYSGEN. At the system prompt, enter:

   :SYSGEN

Access the SYSFILE configurator. At the SYSGEN prompt, enter:

   sysgen> SYSFILE

Use the SHOW command to confirm that a disk autoboot file is not currently configured on your system. At the SYSFILE prompt, enter:

   sysfile> SHOW AUTO

If a disk autoboot file has not already been installed on your system, SYSGEN displays the following:

   DISK AUTOBOOT = NONE

If a disk autoboot file has been installed on your system, SYSGEN displays the following:

   DISK AUTOBOOT = filename.grpname.acctname

	NOTE: If a disk autoboot file is already installed on your system, skip step 5 and proceed to step 6 for directions on replacing your current autoboot file with the AutoRestart/iX autoboot file.

If you do not have an autoboot file installed on your system, use the AAUTO command to add the AutoRestart/iX autoboot format file AUTOOUT.HP36375.TELESUP to your system's configuration. The FILE= parameter specifies the autoboot format file. The TYPE=DISK parameter indicates that the autoboot file contents will be invoked only during a boot from disk. At the SYSFILE prompt, enter:

   sysfile> AAUTO FILE=AUTOOUT.HP36375.TELESUP TYPE=DISC

Go to step 7.

If you already have an autoboot file installed on your system, use the RAUTO command to replace the existing autoboot file with the AutoRestart/iX autoboot format file AUTOOUT.HP36375.TELESUP. The FILE= parameter specifies the autoboot format file. The TYPE=DISK parameter indicates that the autoboot file contents are invoked only during a boot from disk. At the SYSFILE prompt, enter:

   sysfile> RAUTO FILE=AUTOOUT.HP36375.TELESUP TYPE=DISC

Use the SHOW AUTO command to confirm that SYSGEN has accepted AUTOOUT.HP36375.TELESUP. At the SYSFILE prompt, enter:

   sysfile> SHOW AUTO

The SYSGEN utility displays the following:

   DISC AUTOBOOT = AUTOOUT.HP36375.TELESUP

Use the HOLD command to temporarily hold the changes that you made in the SYSFILE configurator. At the SYSFILE prompt, enter:

   sysfile> HOLD

Exit the SYSFILE configurator to return to the SYSGEN menu. At the SYSFILE prompt, enter:

   sysfile> EXIT

Use the KEEP command to store to disk the changes that you have made to your system's configuration. At the SYSGEN prompt, enter:

   sysgen> KEEP

The SYSGEN utility saves to the default configuration group the configuration changes made in the SYSFILE configurator. Respond Y when SYSGEN asks if it should overwrite that group:

        keeping to group CONFIG.SYS

        Purge old configuration (yes/no)? Y

        ** configuration files successfully saved **

Mount a write-enabled tape on the tape drive. Put the tape drive on-line.

Use the TAPE command at the SYSGEN prompt to generate a customized system load tape (SLT), sometimes called a boot tape, that includes the system autoboot file. Enter:

   sysgen> TAPE

Reply to the tape request. The system tells you that it has completed the tape:

   **Boot tape is successfully built**

After all of the files are stored, remove the write ring from the tape. This is your system's new SLT. Label the tape in preparation for a configuration update to complete installation of the autoboot file.

Exit SYSGEN after building the SLT. Enter:

   sysgen> EXIT

You now must halt system activity before you perform a configuration update.
