Creating the Autoboot Format File
This section describes how you create the autoboot format file. The
autoboot format file is a specially formatted file and is required to add
a system autoboot file.
To create the autoboot format file, follow these steps:
1. Log on to the console as MGR.TELESUP,HP36375. At the system
prompt, enter:
:HELLO MGR[/userpass].TELESUP[/acctpass],HP36375
2. Create a text file named AUTOIN, containing the sequence of ISL
commands that you want the system to perform at system boot. The
file should contain one ISL command per line. The following
example creates a text file that contains DUMP followed by START
-R (enable the restart feature):

| 3 // |
| ... |
| /KEEP AUTOIN.HP36375.TELESUP |
| /EXIT |
| |
| END OF PROGRAM |

3. Use the AutoRestart/iX FORMAT utility to convert the contents of
AUTOIN.HP36375.TELESUP to a file named AUTOOUT with the required
format. The FORMAT utility looks for a file named AUTOIN in your
current logon group. Format then creates the format file AUTOOUT
in the same group. At the system prompt, enter:
:RUN FORMAT.HP36375.TELESUP
The following is displayed:

| Autoutil 1.0: A.43.11 |
| AUTOIN converted to autoboot format file AUTOOUT |
| |
| END OF PROGRAM |

4. Purge the file AUTOIN.HP36375.TELESUP. At the system prompt,
enter:
:PURGE AUTOIN.HP36375.TELESUP
