HAFO Errors while Booting

As a result of the inclusion of MPE/iX Patches MPEMXG9 and MPEMXL5 in C.70.03, the FOS High

Availability FailOver product components are automatically installed on all systems. This may, temporarily,

result in non-harmful error messages being printed on the system console during system boot activities.

Specifically, after ISL>START, the MPE/iX OS will attempt to open configuration files, if a HAFOCONF file

is not part of the configuration group then the system will report this via the following error messages:

ISL> start norecovery nosysstart logon=manager.sys

MPE/iX launch facility

Initialize_genesis - Ver bld1: <<pci 2.1601>>

THU, MAR 31, 2005, 12:44:30 PM (y/n)? y

. . . ( Various messages ) . . .

Create port process has been completed.

ERROR - Opening the file: %hafoconf.CONFIG.SYS% failed!

status - subsys: #150 info: #-169

ERROR - Unable to save necessary configuration files!

These errors can be ignored if you are not using the HAFO product. They may also be easily eliminated by

creating a dummy HAFOCONF file in the current system configuration group with the SYSGEN utility. The

following is an example of the SYSGEN commands that will create a HAFOCONF file in the current

configuration group, user input in bold type:

CSYLE18<PUB.SYS>:sysgen

sysgen> io

io> hold

io> exit

sysgen> keep

keeping to group CONFIG.SYS

Purge old configuration (yes/no)?y

** configuration files successfully saved **

sysgen> exit
