Restarting After an Involuntary System Shutdown 

Use the following procedure to restart the system after a system hang or
other simple system failure.  The failure is usually marked by a lack of
response to input.

   1.  Record any failure information displayed on the system console.

   2.  Record the series of flashing four-digit numbers on the LED
       display on the control panel.

   3.  To reset the system, enter:

            :CTRL B 

       This resets the system and displays the CM> prompt.

   4.  At the CM> prompt enter:

            CM>TC 

   5.  This executes a soft reset and starts AUTOBOOT. When the TO
       OVERRIDE, PRESS ANY KEY WITHIN 10 SECONDS message appears:

       Press any key.

   6.  Press Y in answer to the prompt:

            BOOT FROM PRIMARY PATH (Y or N)?

   7.  Press Y in answer to the prompt:

            INTERACT WITH IPL?

   8.  Mount tape on tape drive and place online.

   9.  When the ISL> prompt appears, enter:

            ISL>DUMP 

  10.  When the ISL prompt is displayed, restart the system manually by
       entering:

            ISL>START 

       The option RECOVERY is the default.  It will automatically restart
       spooled devices and suspended files.

  11.  Remove tape, label it, and notify Hewlett-Packard of system
       failure.
