Using the System Generator (SYSGEN)
Generating a System Load Tape

STORE allows the user files that are specified in the file set list to be stored after the SLT. (The
filesetliststring parameter is the same as the parameter specified with the STORE utility.
All configuration changes made are reflected on the tape. (The temporary changes remain valid after
SYSGEN has generated a tape.) Tapes created by the TAPE command do not contain the system file directory.
NOTE SYSGEN detects all system-independent errors; however, due to SYSGEN’s lack of knowledge
of the physical attributes of a target system, system-dependent errors cannot be detected when
a system load tape is generated.
To generate a system load tape (SLT), perform the following tasks:
1. Log on to the console as MANAGER.SYS. Enter:
:HELLO MANAGER[/userpass].SYS[/acctpass]
NOTE If the user has system supervisor (OP) capability, but not system manager (SM) capability,
an SLT can still be made; however no configuration changes can be made. Follow steps 2, 3,
10, and 11.
2. Activate SYSGEN and access the configuration group that you want to store on the boot tape. Enter:
Example 4-8 Accessing a Configuration Group
:SYSGEN groupname

3. Make any desired changes from the IO, LOG, or MISC configurators.
Refer to Chapter 5, “Modifying Input/Output (I/O) Configurations,” and Chapter 7, “Modifying
Miscellaneous Configuration Elements,” for information on using the IO, LOG, and MISC configurators to
alter the system configuration.
4. After completing any changes, but before exiting a configurator, enter:
