- ISL Summary
The initial system loader (ISL) provides a command-driven user interface for
accessing boot utilities or issuing ISL commands to display or change system
startup functions. When the system is booted from tape (tape boots),
processor-dependent code (PDC) directly loads the ISL. When the system is
booted from disk (disk boots), PDC and input/output-dependent code (IODC) boot
the utility MMSAVE, which in turn boots ISL.
When loaded, the ISL displays its revision number and prompts for input:
ISL Revision A.00.43 Apr 12, 2000
ISL>
 |
NOTE: The prompt changes to ISL>, indicating the ISL is active.
