Controlling System Activity

Adding, Modifying, and Deleting Devices 

Devices and device classes are added, modified and deleted in the I/O
Configurator program of the SYSGEN utility.  The general procedure is:

 *  Verify the physical presence of the device to be added, its path
    name, and that address switch settings and path name are in
    agreement.  Verify the installation of the CIB board, and that the
    device is correctly cabled to the CIB board and line power source.

 *  Enter the SYSGEN utility and create a backup configuration group.

 *  Enter the I/O Configurator program.

 *  Check the configuration list to verify the availability of logical
    devices (ldev) and their path numbers.

 *  Add, modify or delete a device and/or a device class and save the
    modified configuration group.

 *  Check the configuration list to verify the addition, modification or
    deletion of the device or device class.

 *  Close the system to all users (refer to Storing Files and Backing Up 
    the System (32650- 90140) and System Startup, Configuration, and 
    Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042)), restart it to execute the
    newly modified configuration group System Startup, Configuration, and 
    Shutdown Reference Manual (32650-90042).
