System Programming Using DOS

The CM9700-CC1 runs under Microsoft® DOS (Disk Operating System) 6.22, referred to as MS-DOS®6.22 and also commonly referred to simply as DOS. This section provides information about the following:

•System 9760 programming tasks that are performed using DOS operations

•DOS filename conventions

•DOS commands that are commonly used when managing 9760 system files

NOTES:

•For an overview of the DOS directory structure of the CM9700-CC1, refer to Directory Structure in the CM9700-CC1 Controller section.

•For detailed information about programming the 9760 system using the CM9700-MGR, refer to the CM9700-MGR Software Guide.

PERFORMING SYSTEM 9760 DOS PROGRAMMING TASKS

Using DOS operations, you can perform the following tasks:

•Copy configuration files from the CM9700-MGR to the CM9700-CC1

•Set and adjust system time in a single-node system

•Set and adjust system time in a multi-node system

To perform each of the above tasks, refer to the sections that follow.

COPYING CONFIGURATION FILES FROM THE CM9700-MGR TO THE CM9700-CC1

NOTE: Before copying configuration files from the CM9700-MGR to the CM9700-CC1, it is recommended that you save a copy of the existing CM9700-CC1 configuration files.

To copy configuration files from the CM9700-MGR to the CM9700-CC1, do the following:

1.Export configuration files from the CM9700-MGR to a floppy disk using the Export to Configuration Files option of the CM9700-MGR. For detailed instructions, refer to the CM9700-MGR Software Guide.

2.Insert the floppy disk into the disk drive of the CM9700-CC1.

3.Using the keyboard connected to the AT-compatible keyboard port of the CM9700-CC1, press Ctrl+Q to exit the 9760 system. The VGA monitor displays the C:\9700> prompt.

4.At the prompt, copy all configuration files from the floppy disk to the CM9700-CC1 by entering the following: copy a:filename.*

where filename is the root name of the configuration files. For example, if the root name is NODE1, enter the following: copy a:node1.*

5.Press Enter.

Either of the following occurs:

•The configuration files are copied to the CM9700-CC1. Skip step 6 and proceed to step 7.

•If the previous configuration files exist in the C:\9700 directory, the following message appears: Files Already Exist, Over Write? Y/N/A

Continue with step 6.

6.Enter A to overwrite all existing files on the CM9700-CC1 with the files contained on the floppy disk.

NOTE: Entering Y for Yes requires that you confirm on a file-by-file basis that you wish to overwrite the existing file. Entering N for No requires that you confirm on a file-by-file basis that you do not wish to overwrite the existing file.

7.Remove the floppy disk from the disk drive of the CM9700-CC1.

8.Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to reboot the CM9700-CC1. Note that you must press the Del key on the numeric keypad of your keyboard in order to reboot the system.
