5.2 Modifying Site-Specific Startup Command Procedures
4. Adds any new drivers by executing one of the following commands:
• On VAX systems, the SYSGEN command AUTOCONFIGURE ALL. This
command automatically configures the device driver database, locates all
standard devices attached to the system, and loads and connects their
device drivers.
• On Alpha systems, the SYSMAN command IO AUTOCONFIGURE. This
command automatically configures the device driver database, locates all
standard devices attached to the system, and loads and connects their
device drivers.
If the symbol STARTUP$AUTOCONFIGURE_ALL is defined as 0 or FALSE
by SYS$MANAGER:SYCONFIG.COM, this step is not performed.
5. Installs the primary swap file, if the file is present.
6. Starts the CONFIGURE process (swappable). If the system parameter
NOAUTOCONFIG is set to 1, the CONFIGURE process is not started. If
the symbol STARTUP$AUTOCONFIGURE_ALL is defined as 0 or FALSE by
SYS$MANAGER:SYCONFIG.COM, this step is not performed.
7. Executes SYLOGICALS.COM. At this point, all devices have been made
available through the AUTOCONFIGURE ALL command (step 4) or will be
made available by the CONFIGURE process (started in step 6).
8. If the system is a satellite node in a VAXcluster or an OpenVMS Cluster
environment, executes SATELLITE_PAGE.COM to install page and swap files
on a local disk. SATELLITE_PAGE.COM is created when you execute the
CLUSTER_CONFIG.COM procedure.
9. Executes SYPAGSWPFILES.COM.
10. Performs the following steps in no specified order:
• Installs required images
• Starts various operating system processes (OPCOM, CACHE_SERVER,
ERRFMT, JOBCTL)
• Executes SYSECURITY.COM and starts the AUDIT_SERVER process
• On VAX systems, starts the security server, SECURITY_SERVER, which
manages the proxy database and intrusion database
• Starts LMF (License Management Facility) and loads all appropriate
Product Authorization Keys (PAKs) from the LMF database
11. Performs the following steps in no specified order:
• Enables operator consoles and the operator log files
• Starts the SMISERVER process
Note
The order of events within system startup might change in future releases
of the operating system.
