Backdating Your System
Performing the Backdate
2. Shut down the system.
CTRL-A
=SHUTDOWN
3. Reset the system.
As appropriate to your system, do either Step a or Step b:
a. For HP 3000 Series 991 or 995:
CTRL-B
CM>SP
SP>RS
Enter Y to HARD BOOT the computer system.
b. For all other systems:
CTRL-B
SP>RS
If the system does not respond, press the reset button, key switch, or on/off switch as
appropriate for your system.
Enter Y to confirm restarting the system.
4. Boot the system from the alternate boot path, where the CSLT is mounted.
a. Boot messages can vary, depending on the system model.
b. 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.
5. Update with the CSLT created from your Factory SLT.
ISL>UPDATE
6. Monitor progress messages.
While the UPDATE process is taking place, it is important that you monitor the process
at the console. Note any errors that may be reported to the screen for future action.
If you modified your configuration after updating to Release 5.5, you may need to check
the configuration when the backdated system is up and running normally. These
changes may include I/O changes and other changes made to logging events or
miscellaneous configuration changes.
If configuration files reside in groups other than the CONFIG group, the system will not
have the proper configuration when booted after updating from the CSLT. If your
configuration files are in a group other than CONFIG, you must restore them now and
reboot the system.
Updating with your CSLT ensures that any patches that had been applied (from a
PowerPatch tape) which changed NL.PUB.SYS, XL.PUB.SYS,orSL. PUB.SYS will still be
in effect. Also, any additions made to these libraries as a result of SUBSYS products
having been installed will be there as well. Contact the Response Center or your HP
representative for information about applying patches to a backdated system.
