^^^^^

Note this number. It is the pid number of the process that needs to be killed. Issue the kill command for

this pid:

$kill 65584 (for pid# 65584)

Now, verify that the process has been aborted, by repeating the ' ps' command:

$ ps -ef | grep diagmond

There should not be any entries returned. Merely a line-feed. If the entry is still showing, use this kill

command:

$kill –9 65584 (for pid# 65584)

2. Resume the installation. Simply run the installer program again. Make sure you are in the INSTALL

group, and issue the run command.

:run hpinstal

The installation process will detect where it left off, and will resume from that point.

HAFO Errors while Booting

As a result of the inclusion of MPE/iX Patches MPEMXG9 and MPEMXL5 in C.75.03, 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>>

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
