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:

  1. 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.

  2. 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

  3. Shutdown the system.

    CTRL-A
    =SHUTDOWN

  4. Reset the system after the last shutdown message ( SHUT6 ).

    1. If you have an HP e3000 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.

    2. For HP e3000 N-Class, A-Class

      CTRL-B

      Service Processor login:
      Service Processor password:

      If you get the following prompt, then enter the characters 'Ctrl-E c f' to gain write access to the GSP.

      [Read only - use ^Ecf for console write access.]

      GSP>RS

    3. Enter the following commands to reset the system:

      CTRL-B
      CM>RS

    4. 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.

    5. Enter Y to confirm restarting the system.

  5. Boot the system from the alternate boot path where the CSLT is mounted.

    1. 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, 9x9KS, N-Class or A-Class systems, type BO
        ALT         at the PDC screen to boot from the alternate boot path.

    2. 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.

  6. If this is a new system, check FASTSIZE value.

    ISL>DISPLAY
    Fastsize value is 0000000
n

      . . .

    If the value ( n ) is F, then go to Step 8.

    If the value ( n ) is not F:

    1. Change it to F.

      ISL>FASTSIZE F

    2. Return to Step 3 again to set the new FASTSIZE value.

  7. 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.

  8. 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

  1. Modify the system with the CSLT.

    1. If you have AUTOBOOT enabled, turn AUTOBOOT OFF .

      ISL>AUTOBOOT OFF

    2. Type at the ISL prompt:

      ISL>UPDATE

      The system displays initialization and restore messages.

    3. Go to Step 11.

Reinstall Tasks

  1. 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!

    1. Type at the ISL prompt:

      ISL>install

      The system displays initialization and restore messages.

    2. Go to Step 11.

  2. 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.

  3. Remove the CSLT tape.

    • Applying the CSLT Modification completed. Go to the next section on your checklist.
