Using SYSGEN to Copy the Files

You must use SYSGEN to copy configuration groups. Using other methods to copy configuration files removes

key elements and corrupts the files.

To copy a default configuration group into the configuration group CONFIG, follow the instructions outlined

below:

1. Activate SYSGEN.

Entering SYSGEN activates SYSGEN’s global module.

:SYSGEN

SYSGEN version B.06.01 : catalog version B.06.02 FRI, MAY 20, 1988

** First level command **

io log (lo) misc (mi) spu (sp)

sysfile (sy)

basegroup (ba) keep (ke) permyes (pe) show (sh)

tape (ta)

clear (cl)(c) exit (ex)(e) help (he)(h) oclose (oc)

redo

sysgen>

2. Specify the base group on which to operate.

Specify the group that more closely matches your system. Enter:

sysgen>BASEGROUP basegroupname

3. Modify the configuration if necessary.

If your system requires a configuration other than that provided by default, use the IO configurator to

modify the current base group to meet your system’s requirements. Refer to the chapter in this manual,

that discusses the types of changes that you must make. After making any changes, hold them (issue the

HOLD command in each configurator used to make changes), and return to SYSGEN’s global module.

4. Save the configuration to disk as CONFIG.

After you have completed making changes, if any, save the configuration to the CONFIG group. Enter:

sysgen>KEEP CONFIG
