Replacing Objects on the SYSGEN Tape
The replace commands (RAUTO, RBOOT, RCAT, RCMSL, RDCC, RIPL, RNMLIB, and
RSPROG) replace or modify information in the list of SYSGEN dump files.
RAUTO replaces an existing autoboot image or modifies the autoboot type.
RBOOT replaces an existing boot image or modifies the boot type.
RCAT replaces the message catalog.
RCMSL replaces a segment in the temporary copy of the CMSL.
RDCC replaces network configuration file dumped to the SYSGEN tape.
RIPL replaces an existing IPL image.
RNMLIB replaces a native mode (NM) library.
RSPROG replaces an existing system program or other file.
Replacing autoboot images
The RAUTO command (abbreviated RA) replaces an existing autoboot image in
the list of files dumped to SYSGEN's tape. The command has the following
parameters:
RAUTO (RA) [FILE =] autobootfilename]
[TYPE = DISC ]
[ TAPE ]
[ BOTH ]
FILE specifies a file name to replace the designated autoboot image. If
it is not fully qualified with group and account name, it defaults to the
current group and account. If the specified file does not exist, an
error occurs.
TYPE specifies the boot image type. The various types are defined as
follows:
DISC Specifies that the file is applicable to a disk
boot only.
TAPE Specifies that the file is applicable to a tape
boot only.
BOTH Specifies that the file is applicable to both
disk boot and tape boot.
To modify or replace an autoboot image file name, enter the command,
fully qualified file name, and type:
sysfile>RAUTO filename TYPE=DISC
Use the SHOW command to display the autoboot image file names maintained
by the system.
Replacing boot images
The RBOOT command (abbreviated RB) modifies the boot type of an existing
boot image file name or replaces the boot image file name with another
boot image file name. The command has the following parameters:
RBOOT (RB) [IMAGE =] boot-image-name
[FILE =] filename
[TYPE = DISC ]
[ TAPE ]
[ BOTH ]
IMAGE specifies an existing boot image name to be modified or replaced.
If the specified boot image does not exist, an error occurs.
FILE specifies a file name to replace the designated boot image. If it
is not fully qualified with group and account name, it defaults to the
current group and account. If the specified file does not exist, an
error occurs.
TYPE specifies the boot image type. The various types are defined as
follows:
DISC Specifies that the file is applicable to a disk
boot only.
TAPE Specifies that the file is applicable to a tape
boot only.
BOTH Specifies that the file is applicable to both
disk boot and tape boot.
To modify or replace a boot image file name, enter the command, image
name, and fully qualified file name. Here are two examples.
sysfile>RBOOT imagename TYPE=DISC
sysfile>RBOOT imagename filename DISC
Use the SHOW command to display the boot image file names maintained by
the system.
Configuring a message catalog
The RCAT command (abbreviated RC) configures the message catalog to be
used on the target system. RCAT has the following parameter:
RCAT (RC) [NAME =] filename
The system message catalog contains all the system and subsystem
messages. It is retained under a known file name (CATALOG.PUB.SYS).
NAME specifies a catalog file name. If the name is not fully qualified,
it defaults to the current group and account.
To replace the default catalog name CATALOG.PUB.SYS with a new catalog
name, enter RCAT and the fully qualified file name:
sysfile>RCAT filename.group.account
If the new message catalog file was not previously created, an error
occurs.
NOTE For information on how to modify an existing message catalog, refer
to the Message Catalogs Programmer's Guide (32650-60012).
Replacing a CMSL segment
The RCMSL command (abbreviated RCM) replaces a segment in the CMSL. RCMSL
has the following parameters:
RCMSL (RCM) [SEG =] segment-name
[FILE =] filename
[MODE = S ]
[ C ]
[ P ]
[ U ]
SEG specifies a new segment name of maximum eight characters. If a
nonexistent segment name is specified, an error occurs.
FILE specifies a file name to be added to the CMSL. The filename
parameter can be fully qualified with group and account. If not, it
defaults to the current group and account. If the file name cannot be
found, an error occurs.
MODE indicates where the added SL segment is to reside. It expects one
of the four options listed below. Other input causes an error.
P Declares a segment to be a permanently allocated
user segment. This parameter requests the same
function as the ALLOCATE command.
S Declares a segment to be a permanently allocated
system intrinsic segment (in virtual memory).
C Declares a segment to be a core-resident system
intrinsic segment.
U Defaults if MODE is not specified.
Use the LCMSL command to display the segments maintained in the CMSL.
Replacing or defining a network configuration file
The RDCC command (abbreviated RD) defines the network configuration file
to be used. This command also checks for conflicts with SYSGEN's I/O
configuration. The file named becomes NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS for SYSGEN's tape
only. The user must install or update the system from tape before the
file can be used by the network software.
RDCC has the following parameter:
RDCC (RD) [FILE =] filename
The FILE parameter identifies the network configuration file. If the
name is not fully qualified, it defaults to the current group and
account. If no file paramter is entered, the network configuration file
is changed back to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
To add the network configuration file information to the current SYSGEN
configuration information, enter the command and file name. Then, follow
this sample sequence:
sysfile>RDCC filename.group.account
sysfile>HOLD (Cross-validation conflicts noted)
sysfile>EXIT
sysgen>IO (Make I/O changes if necessary)
(Conflicts also noted here)
sysgen>KEEP NETWORK (Conflicts also noted here)
sysgen>TAPE (Conflicts also noted here)
For additional information, refer to Chapter 5 . For additional
information on remote configurations, refer to the Asynchronous Serial
Communications System Administrator's Reference Manual (32022-61001) and
the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide (36922-61023).
Replacing an IPL image
The RIPL command (abbreviated RI) replaces an existing IPL image in the
list of files dumped onto SYSGEN's tape. The command has the following
parameters:
RIPL (RI) [IMAGE =] imagename [FILE =] filename
IMAGE specifies an existing IPL image to be modified or replaced. If the
specified image does not exist, an error occurs and the system issues a
message.
FILE specifies a file name to replace the specified IPL image. If it is
not fully qualified with group and account name, it defaults to the
current group and account. If the specified file does not exist, an
error occurs and the system issues a message.
There can be only one disk and one tape IPL, each of which is replaced by
its image name. Both IPL files must reside on the tape.
To replace an IPL image, enter the command and the image and file names:
sysfile>RIPL imagename filename
Replacing the native mode library
The RNMLIB command (abbreviated RN) replaces the system NM library that
resides in NL.PUB.SYS. The RNMLIB command has the following parameters:
RNMLIB (RN) [FILE =] filename
FILE is the file name of the library to replace the current one. If the
file name is not fully qualified, it defaults to the current group and
account. If the file name does not exist, an error occurs.
To replace an existing NM library, enter the following command format:
sysfile>RNMLIB filename.group.account
Replacing a system program
The RSPROG command (abbreviated RS) replaces an existing system program.
RSPROG has the following parameters:
RSPROG (RS) [PROG =] programname [FILE =] filename
PROG specifies an existing program name. If the name entered does not
exist, an error occurs.
FILE specifies the file name to replace the specified system program. If
the file name is not fully qualified with group and account name, it
defaults to the current group and account. If the file name does not
exist, an error occurs.
Enter the command, an existing program name, and the fully qualified file
name to replace the system program:
sysfile>RSPROG programname.group.account filename.group.account
Use the SHOW command (SH SPROG) to display all the system programs
maintained by the configuration.
[REV BEG]
CAUTION Do not use the SYSFILE> RSPROG command to rename Hewlett-Packard
supplied MPE/iX HP 3000 system files. A renamed system file can
corrupt your system during an update. This problem can occur if
you have third party software installed on your system and you
have renamed some system files to use this software.
Use the SHOW command in SYSFILE to ensure that all
Hewlett-Packard supplied system files have retained their
original name. System filenames in both columns should be
identical. If they are not identical, rename the files in the
second column to the filename in the first column.
