Using the System Generator (SYSGEN)
Generating a System Load Tape
NOLOGNUM resets the system and datacom log numbers to zero (0).
LOGNUM is the default. It specifies that SYSGEN should carry forward the system and
datacom log numbers and not reset to zero (0).
OFFLINE directs the listing created by VERBOSE to SYSGEN’s listing file, SYSGLIST.
Using OFFLINE in the TAPE command line does not immediately generate a printout. The
information is sent to SYSGLIST until you enter the global module OCLOSE command or exit
SYSGEN. Exiting SYSGEN or using OCLOSE closes SYSGLIST and prints the file.
STORE allows the user files that are specified in the file set list to be stored after the SLT.
(The
filesetliststring parameter is the same as the parameter specified with the
STORE utility.
All configuration changes made are reflected on the tape. (The temporary changes remain
valid after SYSGEN has generated a tape.) Tapes created by the TAPE command do not
contain the system file directory.
NOTE SYSGEN detects all system-independent errors; however, due to SYSGEN’s
lack of knowledge of the physical attributes of a target system,
system-dependent errors cannot be detected when a system load tape is
generated.
To generate a system load tape (SLT), perform the following tasks:
1. Log on to the console as MANAGER.SYS. Enter:
:HELLO MANAGER[/
userpass ].SYS[/ acctpass ]
NOTE If the user has system supervisor (OP) capability, but not system manager
(SM) capability, an SLT can still be made; however no configuration changes
can be made. Follow steps 2, 3, 10, and 11.
2. Activate SYSGEN and access the configuration group that you want to store on the boot
tape. Enter:
