Automating System Startup and Shutdown

Managed Configuration Services (MCS)

Integrity NonStop NS-Series servers are being configured with Managed Configuration Services (MCS) when they are installed. Functions performed by MCS include configuring the Spooler, Pathway, and Expand lines, and creating startup and shutdown files. This section is about creating startup and shutdown files without the use of MCS. For more information about MCS, see the Integrity NonStop NS-Series Hardware Installation Manual.

Startup

You can use startup command files to automate the starting of devices and processes on the system, which minimizes the possibility of operator errors caused by forgotten or mistyped commands.

The system is shipped with a basic startup file named CIIN, located on the

$SYSTEM.SYS00 subvolume. The CIIN file must be specified in a particular way. See CIIN File on page 16-5for more information.

After the commands in the CIIN file are executed, other startup files can be invoked either automatically, from another startup file, or manually in commands entered by the operator. The startup file sequence usually starts the spooler and other system software first and then starts applications.
