Configure the System
Refer to “Configuring the System” in Chapter 5 , “Modifying Your System,” for additional
information about these steps.
You need to configure the following devices for AUTOINST (the update tool) to work
properly:
• an LP device class
• a streams device
• a tape drive (that matches the FOS and SUBSYS media type)
If you need information about hardware device IDs, print the file IODFAULT.PUB.SYS on
your screen. This file contains ID numbers and associated parameters for hardware
devices. You can display this file when the system is up and you have the system prompt.
To configure your I/O and save the customized set of configuration files, perform the
following steps:
1. Verify the configuration files.
:SYSGEN CONFIG
sysgen>
If you modified your configuration after updating to Release 5.5, you must reenter these
modifications at this point. This includes not only I/O changes, but any modifications
made to logging events, system files (SYSFILE), or miscellaneous (MISC) items.
sysgen> KEEP
Purge old config? YES
sysgen> EXIT
If you do not have a backup of your old CONFIG.SYS group, you will have to modify your
configuration manually as described in Step 3. Otherwise, skip to Step 3.
