Modifying Your System
5.2 Applying the SLT
5.2 Applying the SLT
In this section, you apply changes to the operating system kernel and start the system.
The steps in this section do modify your system software. However, this section does not
complete the modification task.
To apply the factory SLT to the system:
1. From the console, mount the factory supplied System Load Tape (SLT) and put the
tape drive online.
Wait until a message displays on the system console verifying that the tape 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. If your system is up, shut it down now. The system is already down if you are
performing a new install.
CTRL-A
=SHUTDOWN
4. Reset the system after the last shutdown message (SHUT6).

restart the system. Type the following:

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.
b. For all other systems, enter the following commands to reset the system:
CTRL-B
CM>RS
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.
Enter Y to confirm restarting the system.
