Creating Startup and Shutdown Files CIIN File

HP does not warrant, guarantee, or make any representations regarding the use or the results of the use of any examples or sample programs in any documentation. You must verify the applicability of any example or sample program before placing the software into production use.

•These examples are for a system whose configuration has been changed from the factory-installed configuration. Your system’s initial configuration will differ from these examples.

The startup files in this section assume that the objects they start have already been added to the system configuration database.

•The IP addresses used in this section are examples only. If you use the example files described in this section on your system, you must change the IP addresses in these examples to IP addresses that are appropriate for your LAN environment.

•The configuration track-ID for the SWAN concentrator used in the example files, X001XX, is also an example.

If you use the example files described in this section on your system, you must change the configuration track-ID used in these examples to the actual configuration track-ID assigned to your SWAN concentrator.

CIIN File

The CIIN file is a TACL command (OBEY) file that contains a limited set of commands that usually:

•Start a TACL process pair on the system console for the system console TACL window ($YMIOP.#CLCI)

When the startup TACL executes the commands in the CIIN file and terminates, the $YMIOP.#CLCI process pair lets you log on to the system and complete the system startup.

Note. Before these TACL processes start, open the appropriate terminal emulator windows with the OSM Low-Level Link. You must open these windows before performing a system load.

OSM software lets you define primary and backup IP addresses for TACL windows. For more information about configuring OSM software, see the OSM User’s Guide.

•Load all processors that are not currently running

Alternatively, the CIIN file can reload a minimal set of processors, such as processor 1, to bring up a minimal system. You can then test for successful startup of a minimal system environment before you bring up the remainder of the system.

Normally, the initial TACL process invokes the CIIN file automatically after the first processor is loaded if all these conditions are true:
