This section discusses using the initial system loader utility, START, that activates the operating system. START is the ISL utility used most often, whether to
boot the system from disk after a reset, to automatically reboot
after the completion of the UPDATE, INSTALL, or DUMP utility, or to bring up the operating system after
a shutdown. START execution differs depending on the previously
executed boot command. For example, a START after an INSTALL executes differently than a START after a shutdown or reset. START after an INSTALL may initialize the system member volumes. A START option after an INSTALL or UPDATE does not restart jobs. There are, primarily, six load and start utilities for the
operating system. UPDATE or UPDATE NOCONFIG
Using START and its Options | |
The ISL command for the START utility is START. The utility has several options: START [;GROUP=cgn][;LOGON=acct] [{ ;RECOVERY
;NORECOVERY }]
[{ ;SINGLE-DISC [{ ;SINGLE-USER
;MULTI-DISC }] ;MULTI-USER }]
[{ ;SYSSTART
;NOSYSSTART }] |
Specify START alone or with alternate options. Separate the options
from the command and other options with a blank or semicolon. Using the ISL START command without listing any options: is the same as specifying the following default options: ISL> START GROUP=bootup LOGON=OPERATOR.SYS RECOVERY&
MULTI-USER MULTI-DISC SYSSTART |
| | | |  | NOTE: bootup contains the CONFIG file
that was used by the previous START NORECOVERY command. RECOVERY starts the system, but sets the fence at 14 which prevents
any jobs or sessions from automatically starting. | | | | |
These default options instruct the system to boot from disk,
to use the configuration information last used to boot the system,
attempts to log on as OPERATOR.SYS (if the OPERATOR user has been created), to restart
all jobs and allow all users access to the system, to bring up all
volumes present on the system, and to execute commands found in the SYSSTART file, SYSSTART.PUB.SYS. Enter an alternate option through a keyword parameter, or
several alternate options in groups of keyword parameters. The following
command line shows an example of using multiple alternate options: ISL> START GROUP=CONFG950 LOGON=JOHN.SMITH NORECOVERY&:
SINGLE-USER SINGLE-DISC |
Executing Commands During System Startup | |
The file SYSSTART.PUB.SYS executes automatically at system startup if the SYSSTART parameter is specified in the START command. This file can be used to set up the normal user
environment automatically when the system starts up. The contents
of this file should include command parameters appropriate for your
environment, such as the standard limits for jobs and sessions,
spooler start commands, stream device identification, outfence priorities,
event logging, and so on. These commands are then performed automatically
for you whenever the system is restarted. A SYSSTART file can contain selected MPE commands (and their
parameters) that the system manager is allowed to execute except
networking commands. (Networking commands should be executed from
a job that is streamed from SYSSTART, or from a logon UDC for OPERATOR.SYS.) You can use the following commands in a SYSSTART file: ACCEPT | HEADOFF | REFUSE | ALLOCATE | HEADON | STARTSESS | ALLOW | JOBFENCE | STARTSPOOL | ALTLOG | JOBPRI | STOPSPOOL | COMMENT | JOBSECURITY | STREAM | CONSOLE | LDISMOUNT | STREAMS | DEALLOCATE | LIMIT | SUSPENDSPOOL | DISALLOW | LMOUNT | TELL | DISCRPS | LOG | TELLOP | DOWN | MRJECONTROL | TUNE | DOWNLOAD | OUTFENCE | UP |

Create a SYSSTART file with any text editor. A properly formatted SYSSTART file is composed of five modules, labeled and
placed in the following order: startup, warmstart, coolstart, update,
and reload. Notice that each module must be separated by one or
more asterisks. The following SYSSTART file sample is an example of the type of commands
you might want to include in a SYSSTART file. It is not intended to suggest entries for
your system's SYSSTART file. Example 3-4 A Properly Formatted SYSSTART File STARTUP

The STARTUP module is executed whenever the SYSSTART file is accessed. Place commands and parameters
specific to an operation under the appropriate heading. If, for
instance, you do not wish users to be able to log on immediately
following an UPDATE (START) or INSTALL (START), insert commands in the update and install modules
to limit the jobs and sessions and raise the jobfence. Table 3-2 “Execution of SYSSTART File Modules” describes how each module is executed. Table 3-2 Execution of SYSSTART File Modules Boot Utility Used | SYSSTART Module Executed |
|---|
ANY | startup | START (RECOVERY) | warmstart | START (NORECOVERY) | coolstart | UPDATE (START) | update | INSTALL (START) | reload |
The SYSSTART file must be created by MANAGER.SYS and needs to reside on LDEV 1 to function properly.
Once the file is created, use the following commands to copy the
file to the appropriate location: HELLO MANAGER.SYS
FILE SYSSTART;DEV=1
FCOPY FROM=tempfilename;TO=*SYSSTART;NEW |
If an error exists in the SYSSTART file, the startup process ignores it and continues execution. Starting a HP e3000 (Series 900) | |
The following steps comprise a procedure for booting MPE/iX
on a HP e3000 (Series 900) computer system using START following a reset. To start the system, perform the following steps: Power on all
attached peripheral devices, and ensure that the system disks are
powered on. Place the console in control mode. Enter: The console control mode prompt (CM>) should appear on the console screen. Reset the system using AP commands, boot from the
primary path, and enter the START command at the ISL prompt.
| | | | | NOTE: If you have a 99X system, you must transfer to the service
processor before you reset the system. | | | | |
Examples 3-5 and 3-6 demonstrate the messages received at
the console of the Series 900 systems. | | | | | NOTE: The components of the system startup messages on all
of the systems are similar; however, the messages can vary in I/O
path descriptions depending on the system. | | | | |
