8. Installing the Fundamental Operating System (FOS) Files with AUTOINST
This procedure includes the creation of the account structure.
1. Mount the FOS tape.
2. Enter:
:AUTOINST
At this point a tape request may be displayed. The request may
look like this:
?14:24/#31/pin/IS "FOS" ON LDEV#nn (Y/N)?
where pin is the process identification number and nn is the
logical device number.
3. Reply by entering the following:
CTRL A
=REPLY pin,Y
If more than one FOS tape is supplied, after about five minutes,
you will be instructed to remove FOS tape Volume 1, install FOS
tape Volume 2, and set the drive online. A message indicates
completion of the FOS installation.
4. Dismount the FOS tape.
5. After several minutes, the following message appears:
HAS A SUBSYS TAPE BEEN INCLUDED IN YOUR
INSTALLATION PACKAGE (Y/N)?
If No SUBSYS Tape is Included
If no SUBSYS tape is included, enter N in answer to the prompt, go to the
instructions for adding nonsystem volumes, and continue from there.
If a SUBSYS Tape is Included
If a SUBSYS tape is included, enter Y in answer to the prompt and mount
the SUBSYS tape and put the drive on line.
The system may issue a tape request. If so, respond to it as previously
described. Enter
CTRL A
=REPLY pin,Y
It may take up to thirty minutes to load the files from the tape.
Completion of the SUBSYS tape restoration is marked by the following
message:
THE SUBSYS TAPE HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY RESTORED.
Installing Special Products
Your SUBSYS tape may include files that require special installation
procedures. If so, they will be listed on the screen, and the system
will ask if you want to install them now. The following warning will
appear:
*WARNING -- THIS PROGRAM CANNOT INSTALL THE PRODUCTS
LISTED BELOW. (INSTWARN # 1)
product name
product name
.
.
.
DO YOU WANT TO INSTALL THESE PRODUCTS NOW AND CONTINUE
WITH AUTOINST AFTER INSTALLING THESE PRODUCTS (Y/N)?
To install them now, answer:
YES
The logon prompt will be displayed. Refer to the documentation supplied
with the software for the commands needed to load the files.
When you are finished, enter the following to continue:
:AUTOINST
Installing TDP and HPSpell
If you have purchased the TDP and HPSpell programs, follow these
procedures.
To install the TDP program, enter:
:STREAM I0036578.USL.SYS
To install the HPSpell program, enter:
:STREAM I0036561.USL.SYS (American version)
or
:STREAM I0036562.USL.SYS (British version)
When you are finished, enter the following to continue:
:AUTOINST
Configuring the DTC
The distributed terminal controller (DTC) is configured at this point.
(This task may be performed by your system's network manager.)
Adding Nonsystem Volumes
You may add nonsystem volumes with the VOLUTIL utility at this point.
The following procedure assumes the existence of more than two disk
drives on your system, although it is possible to create nonsystem
volumes on the second drive of a two drive system.
If you do not wish to add nonsystem volume sets, go to the next section,
"Creating a System Load Tape."
1. Begin by entering the VOLUTIL utility:
:VOLUTIL
2. Display the status of volumes by entering:
volutil::DSTAT ALL
A list of volumes is displayed, identified by the drive on which
they reside (LDEV number), type, status, volume name, and volume
set name.
For example, to add a disk pack on LDEV nn with a status of LONER,
first enter:
volutil:SCRATCHVOL nn
where nn is a logical device number.
If the status of the volume is UNKNOWN or SCRATCH, you do not need
to execute SCRATCHVOL.
3. Create a volume set and master volume by entering:
volutil:NEWSET SNAME=volumesetname MASTER=master LDEV=nn
Answer YES to the verification message if your entries are
correct.
4. Create a member volume in the volume set by entering:
volutil:NEWVOL VNAME=volumesetname:volumename LDEV=nn
5. Answer YES to the verification message if your entries are correct
and exit.
volutil:EXIT
Creating a New System Load Tape
This step creates a new system load tape which contains the system image
in its current state.
1. Mount a blank, write-enabled tape. Put the drive on line and
follow the displayed instructions.
You may need to respond to a tape request. It will differ from
previous tape requests, and will look something like this:
?10:49/#J13/pin/ldev FOR "SYSGTAPE" ON TAPE (NUM)?
2. Enter the reply in the following format, which differs from the
=REPLY formats used previously:
CTRL A
=REPLY pin,ldev
The end of this process is marked by the message:
THE EXECUTION OF AUTOINST/XL IS COMPLETE.
3. Dismount the tape, remove the write ring, and label the tape
according to the displayed instructions.
