5.14 Restarting the System

1. Boot the system from the primary boot path.

   1. Boot messages can vary, depending on the system model.

      • If you have AUTOBOOT enabled, the system boots from the primary boot path automatically unless you override AUTOBOOT.

      • If your system prompts to enter the boot path, enter the primary boot path.

      • For Model 9x8LX, 9x8RX, 9x9KS, N-Class or A-Class systems, type BO at the PDC screen to boot from the primary boot path.

      • If your system prompts, Continue with primary boot path?, enter Y.

   2. Enter Y to the Interact with IPL? prompt, if it appears on your screen. After some activity the ISL prompt displays.

   3. If you want AUTOBOOT enabled and if it was turned off, turn it on now:

        ISL>AUTOBOOT ON

2. Start the system. If you are using Checklist B, omit the NOSYSSTART option.

     ISL>START NORECOVERY NOSYSSTART

3. Confirm the date and time.

   If the date and time displayed are not correct, enter N, and enter the correct date and time. If you do not respond within 15 seconds, the system continues.

   The system displays startup and initialization messages for 5 to 6 minutes.

   During the startup process, the system makes several configuration checks and may display warning messages or error messages (for example, error messages referencing the SPUINFOP file or DCC error messages). This is normal for system startup, and will not affect system operation.

4. Log on and issue the following commands.

     :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
     :LIMIT 1,1
   

5. For each automatically spooled network printer.

     :SPOOLER print_device;STOP;OPENQ

   where print_device is the LDEV or class of the network printer.

6. Continue log on commands

     :OPENQ LP
     :STREAMS streams_device
   

   A common streams_device value is 10. An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN.

7. If you are performing a reinstall task, go to Step 8.

   If you are performing a staging area task, go to Step 9.

   If you are performing an Install, Update, Add-on, Manage Patch, Remote with CD-ROM, or Staging Area task for a local system only using the TAPE option, go to the next section on your checklist.

Reinstall Tasks

8. Configure additional disks as system volumes, if necessary.

   1. Use the DSTAT command to ensure that all disks are configured as MASTER or MEMBER.

        :DSTAT ALL

      Sample output:

        LDEV-TYPE STATUS      VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
        --------- ----------- -----------------------------
        1- 022040 MASTER      MEMBER1(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
        2- 022040 LONER       MEMBER2(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
      

      For more information about the VOLUTIL commands, refer to the Volume Management Reference Manual.

   2. If any disks are not configured as MASTER or MEMBER, add them to your system. All system volumes showing a status of LONER must be added using the VOLUTIL utility. Use scratchvol and newvol commands as in this example:

        :VOLUTIL
        volutil: SCRATCHVOL 2
        Do you wish to continue? Y
        volutil:NEWVOL MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:MEMBER2 2 100 100
        
        INITIALIZE VOLUME MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET:
          MEMBER2 ON LDEV 2 WITH PERMANENT SPACE = 100% AND
          TRANSIENT SPACE = 100%? Y
        volutil: EXIT
      

   3. Check all volumes to confirm they are configured correctly. Use the DSTAT command.

        :DSTAT ALL

      Sample output:

      LDEV-TYPE STATUS      VOLUME (VOLUME SET - GEN)
      --------- ----------- -----------------------------
      1- 022040 MASTER      MEMBER1(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
      2- 022040 MEMBER      MEMBER2(MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET-0)
      

   4. Go to the next section on your checklist.

Distributed Staging Area

9. If you distributed staging areas and you used the PACK or UNPACK option with your EXPORT command, clean up the staging area files on your local system. (Refer to the section, "Distributing a Staging Area Preparation," in this chapter for information on the use of PACK and UNPACK.)

   CAUTION: Perform this on your local system only after you have imported the distributed staging area to your remote systems.

   To clean up the staging area files on your local system.

   1. Logon to the local system.

        :HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI

   2. Purge the files in the EXPORT directory.

        :PURGE /SYS/HPSTAGE/EXPORT/@

   3. Return to your remote system.

• Restarting the System completed.
