Backdating Your System
Performing the Backdate

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 7.5, 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, or SL.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.
7. Boot the system from the primary boot path.
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 disk. After some activity the ISL prompt displays.
8. Start the system.
ISL>START NORECOVERY NOSYSSTART
9. Confirm the date and time.
10. Dismount the CSLT.
11. Log on, start the spooler and streams device.
:HELLO MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL;HIPRI
:LIMIT 1,1
:SPOOLER LP;OPENQ
:STREAMS streams_device
where streams_device is the device number. A common streams_device value is 10.
An LP device must be configured in SYSGEN. Already spooled and streamed messages might display.
12. Proceed to “Finishing Up.”
Method 3: Using an FPT
If you are performing a backdate using a Factory Pre-Load Tape (FPT), perform the steps in this section.
Apply the FPT
Refer to “Applying Modifications” in Chapter 5, “Modifying Your System,” for additional information about
these steps.
1. From the console, mount the Factory Preload Tape for this system. Place it into the DDS device.
