This section is for applying the Customized System Load Tape (CSLT) created by
AUTOINST, HPINSTAL, or HP Patch/iX. For Manage Patch tasks, this is
the CSLT/STORE tape (not a STORE only tape). For
re-installations, it is the CSLT created most recently in SYSGEN.
To apply the CSLT tape:
From the console, mount reel one of the CSLT tape on the tape
drive, and put the tape drive online.
Wait until a message displays on the system console verifying that
the tape is mounted.
If you are using the AutoRestart product and AUTOBOOT is
enabled, turn it off so the system won't automatically reboot from
the primary boot path.
:RUN BLDDUMP.HP36375.TELESUP
blddump>AUTOBOOT OFF
blddump>EXIT
Shutdown the system.
CTRL-A
=SHUTDOWN
Reset the system after the last shutdown message (SHUT6).
If you have an HP 3000 Series 99x, connect to the service
processor before you can restart the system. Type the following:
CTRL-B
CM>SP
SP>RS
Enter Y to HARD BOOT the computer system.
Do not respond to the question:
Press any key within 10 seconds to cancel boot with this
configuration.
There are 5 to 10 minutes of system activity, then the Processor
Dependent Code (PDC) screen displays.
For all other systems, enter the following commands to reset
the system:
CTRL-B
CM>RS
If the system does not respond to the CTRL-B entry
within ten seconds, press the reset button, key switch, or on/off
switch as appropriate for your system. The system will halt, and
then restart automatically.
Enter Y to confirm restarting the system.
Boot the system from the alternate boot path where the CSLT is
mounted.
Boot messages can vary, depending on the system model.
If you do not override AUTOBOOT, the system boots
from the primary boot path. If your system does boot from the
primary boot path, return to Step 3 and reset the system with
the CTRL-B and RS commands.
If your system prompts Continue with primary boot path?, or Boot from Primary Boot (y/n)?, enter N.
If your system prompts Continue with alternate boot path? or Boot from Alternate Boot (y/n)?, enter
Y.
If your system prompts to enter the boot path, enter the
alternate boot path.
For Model 9x8LX, 9x8RX, or 9x9KS systems, type
BO ALT at the PDC screen to boot from the alternate
boot path.
Enter Y to the Interact with IPL? prompt, if
it appears on your screen.
The system boots from the alternate source (tape). After some
tape activity, the ISL prompt displays.
If this is a new system, check FASTSIZE value.
ISL>DISPLAY
Fastsize value is 0000000n
. . .
If the value (n) is F, then go to Step 8.
If the value (n) is not F:
Change it to F.
ISL>FASTSIZE F
Return to Step 3 again to set the new FASTSIZE
value.
If you replace LDEV 1 and changed the primary boot path of the new
LDEV 1, update the primary boot path:
ISL>PRIMPATH
Enter primary boot path: hardware_path
Where hardware_path is the path to your new
LDEV 1.
If you are performing Manage Patch, Add-on, Update, Remote, or
Install tasks, go to Step 9.
If you are performing a Reinstall task only, go to
Step 10.
Manage Patch, Add-on, Update, Remote, or Install Tasks
Modify the system with the CSLT.
If you have AUTOBOOT enabled, turn
AUTOBOOT OFF.
ISL>AUTOBOOT OFF
Type at the ISL prompt:
ISL>UPDATE
The system displays initialization and restore messages.
Go to Step 11.
Reinstall Tasks
Proceed with the re-installation.
CAUTION: DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU ARE PERFORMING A REINSTALL. IT
DESTROYS ALL THE EXISTING SYSTEM AND USER FILES IN THE
MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET!
Type at the ISLprompt:
ISL>install
The system displays initialization and restore messages.
Go to Step 11.
Confirm the date and time.
If the date and time displayed are not correct, enter N,
and enter the correct date and time. If you do not respond within 15
seconds, the system continues.
The system displays an initialization message.
The system continues to restore the files from the CSLT. This process
can take 10-25 minutes. During this process, the system displays
initialization and restore messages.
If AUTOBOOT is ON, the system will boot from the
AUTOBOOT file unless interrupted by you within ten seconds.
If AUTOBOOT is OFF (as recommended), you do not
have to watch for the reset prompt.
The system displays the following message regardless of whether or
not AUTOBOOT is enabled.
Restoring system file "C0040000.DIAG.SYS"
END of LOAD (update).
Auto boot in progress.
When the Update or Install process completes, the SPU resets.
Remove the CSLT tape.
Applying the CSLT Modification completed. Go to the next
section on your checklist.
