Backdating Your System
Performing the Backdate
Start the System
When the update is complete, autoboot begins. Perform the following steps to ensure the
system is up and running. Refer to “Starting the System” in Chapter 5 , “Modifying Your
System,” for additional information about these steps.
1. Start the system.
ISL>START NORECOVERY NOSYSSTART group= configname
configname —the configuration group for your system. Refer to Appendix B ,
“Configuration Tables,” for a list of configuration groups.
2. Confirm the date and time.
During the start-up process, the system makes several configuration checks and may
display warning messages. This is normal for system start-up, and will not affect
system operation.
3. Dismount the System Load Tape (SLT).
Restore Configuration Files
Restore your customized configuration group. This includes the configuration files:
nmconfig, nminit, and hpswinfo.
1. Mount your 6.5 or 6.0 backup or STORE tape. Refer to “Planning Your Backdate” earlier
in this appendix for additional tape information.
2. Type at the prompt.
:FILE T;DEV=TAPE
:RESTORE *T;@.CONFIG,NMCONFIG,NMINIT,HPSWINFO;OLDDATE;DEV=1
Configure the System
Refer to “Configuring the System” in Chapter 5 , “Modifying Your System,” for additional
information about these steps.
You need to configure the following devices for AUTOINST (the update tool) to work
properly:
• an LP device class
• a streams device
• a tape drive (that matches the FOS and SUBSYS media type)
If you need information about hardware device IDs, print the file IODFAULT.PUB.SYS on
your screen. This file contains ID numbers and associated parameters for hardware
devices. You can display this file when the system is up and you have the system prompt.
To configure your I/O and save the customized set of configuration files, perform the
following steps:
1. Verify the configuration files.
:SYSGEN CONFIG
