The SYSGEN command enables you to create new system configurations,
modify existing configurations, or create installation tapes.
This command is a utility intended for use only by someone trained in
Hewlett-Packard system management tasks. Syntax | |
SYSGEN [basegroup][,newgroup][,inputfile][,outputfile]
|
Parameters | |
- basegroup
Specifies the name of a base configuration group in the
SYS account. The account contains configuration data to be used with
the SYSGEN command for changing the configuration or for creating
the installation tape. If you do not include this parameter, the default
is the group used to bring up the system, which is normally CONFIG.
- newgroup
Specifies the name of a group in the SYS account used
as the default for keeping a new set of configuration data or a copy of
the configuration data in the base configuration group. If you do not include
this parameter, the default is the basegroup.
- input
Specifies the file designator of the file to be used for
command input while the SYSGEN command is executing. You can redirect
input with a file equation using the formal designator SYSGIN before
entering the SYSGEN command. The default is $STDIN.
- outputfile
Specifies the file designator of the file to be used for
output requested while the SYSGEN command is executing. You can redirect
output with a file equation using the formal designator SYSGOUT before
entering the SYSGEN command. The default is $STDLIST.
Operation Notes | |
Usage You can enter this command from a session and programmatically.
Pressing Break suspends command execution. Entering the
RESUME command continues the execution.
Requirements You must have system supervisor (OP) capability to view configuration
data. You must have system manager (SM) capability to make
and keep configuration
changes or to create an installation tape.
Unattended backups The system administrator may want to perform a system backup that does not
require a user response to the tape request necessary for the backup. In
order to perform an unattended backup, however, the tape drive must be
configured with the autoreply mode. Refer to the "Examples" section for
the proper command sequence to enable this mode.
Examples | |
To use CONFIG.SYS as the default basegroup, NEWCONF.SYS as the
newgroup, and the default inputfile and outputfile, enter:
:SYSGEN CONFIG,NEWCONF,$STDIN,$STDLIST
|
To include the same parameters in the example above without specifying
the default values, enter: To specify file equations for inputfile and outputfile that redirect
command input and output, enter:
:FILE SYSGIN=INFILE
:FILE SYSGOUT=OUTFILE
:SYSGEN ,NEWCONF
|
To configure a tape drive for autoreply mode, enter:
:SYSGEN
SYSGEN>IO
IO>MDEV 7 MODE=AUTOREPLY
IO>HOLD
IO>EXIT
SYSGEN>KEEP
SYSGEN>EXIT
