Modifying System File Configurations
Entering the SYSFILE Configurator
164
FILE specifies a file name to be added to the CMSL. The filename parameter can be fully qualified with
group and account. If not, it defaults to the current group and account. If the file name cannot be found, an
error occurs.
MODE indicates where the added SL segment is to reside. It expects one of the four options listed below. Other
input causes an error.
P Declares a segment to be a permanently allocated user segment. This parameter performs
the same function as the ALLOCATE command.
S Declares a segment to be a permanently allocated system intrinsic segment (in virtual
memory).
C Declares a segment to be a core-resident system intrinsic segment.
U Defaults if MODE is not specified.
Use the LCMSL command to display the segments maintained in the CMSL.
Replacing or Defining a Network Configuration File
The RDCC command (abbreviated RD) defines the network configuration file to be used. This command also
checks for conflicts with SYSGEN’s I/O configuration. The file named becomes NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS for
SYSGEN’s tape only. The user must install or update the system from tape before the file can be used by the
network software.
RDCC has the following parameter:
RDCC (RD) [FILE =] filename
The FILE parameter identifies the network configuration file. If the name is not fully qualified, it defaults to
the current group and account. If no file parameter is entered, the network configuration file is changed back
to NMCONFIG.PUB.SYS.
To add the network configuration file information to the current SYSGEN configuration information, enter
the command and file name. Then, follow this sample sequence:
sysfile>RDCC filename.group.account
sysfile>HOLD (Cross-validation conflicts noted)
sysfile>EXIT
sysgen>IO (Make I/O changes if necessary)
(Conflicts also noted here)
sysgen>KEEP NETWORK (Conflicts also noted here)
sysgen>TAPE (Conflicts also noted here)
For additional information, refer to Chapter 5, “Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations.” For additional
information on remote configurations, refer to the Asynchronous Serial Communications System
Administrator’s Reference Manual and the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide.
Replacing an IPL Image
The RIPL command (abbreviated RI) replaces an existing IPL image in the list of files dumped onto
SYSGEN’s tape. The command has the following parameters:
RIPL (RI) [IMAGE =]imagename [FILE =]filename
IMAGE specifies an existing IPL image to be modified or replaced. If the specified image does not exist, an
error occurs and the system issues a message.
FILE specifies a file name to replace the specified IPL image. If it is not fully qualified with group and account
name, it defaults to the current group and account. If the specified file does not exist, an error occurs and the
system issues a message.
