Restore FOS and SUBSYS
Refer to “Rerunning HPINSTAL” in Chapter 5, “Modifying Your System,” for additional information about
these steps.
1. Remount the Factory Preload Tape (FPT).
2. Invoke HPINSTAL.
:HPINSTAL;INFO="RECOVERY"
The following is a sample system response:
MPE/iX HPINSTAL B.10.00 (c) Hewlett-Packard CO.
Mount the CSLT and put the tape/DDS drive online
The HP-supported software files will be restore.
**********Please stand by****************
The HP-supported software files are being restored.
The FPT is called the CSLT on the console screen. That is because the FPT is a type of CSLT created at
the factory.
3. Mount the FPT and put the tape drive online. This restores the STORE portion of the FPT. If using DDS
tape, you need to remove the tape and reinsert it now.
• The system then restores files, processes STORE files, creates the accounting structure, and processes
installation files.
• HPINSTAL automatically streams the installation jobs that complete the installation of most products.
The message may indicate zero installation files. This only means that the products you are installing
do not require an installation file. HPINSTAL continues with the product installation.
The time it takes to restore the software files varies depending on how many and which specific
subsystems you have on your system.
4. Follow any additional instructions displayed on the screen, such as mounting other tape volumes (if using
half-inch magnetic tapes).
Reply to tape requests, if necessary.
5. List and record any manually installed products HPINSTAL cannot completely install.
A warning message displays and lists manually installed products, if applicable.
WARNING -- This program cannot install the products listed
below. (INSTWARN #1)
Record any product names that the program cannot install.
6. When HPINSTAL finishes the task you initially specified, you will see the following message:
The installation is now complete.
