Adding Peripherals to a System

Adding a Peripheral to Any System

Adding a disk drive, tape drive, or printer to a system’s conﬁguration includes the

following steps:

• Enter SYSGEN

• View the system’s current conﬁguration

• Activate the IO conﬁgurator

• Make the necessary I/O conﬁguration changes

• Hold the changes

• Save the changes

• Verify the accuracy of the new conﬁguration

1. Activate SYSGEN’s global module.

Enter the SYSGEN command at the system prompt.

(/SYS/PUB)>sysgen

2. Select the base group to modify.

If you desire to modify the default conﬁguration groups, copy the groups to other group

names and modify the copies using the IO conﬁgurator. Copying the groups preserves

uncorrupted versions of the default or current conﬁgurations.

To copy conﬁguration groups, use the BASEGROUP command to activate the desired

conﬁguration group. Use the KEEP command to save the group of ﬁles to another group

name. Refer to Chapter 4 , “Using the System Generator (SYSGEN),” for more

information on using the BASEGROUP and KEEP commands.
