2.3.3 Modify the Boot and Load Files
Edit the boot configuration and load files to match your Freeway setup.
Your Freeway can be set up to use both physical ICP boards and virtual ICP devices.
(Virtual ICPs, or ICP_IP devices, behave just like physical ICP boards except that they
transmit and receive data via an IP network rather than via a serial line.) You must mod-
ify one
[FREEWAY.BOOT]BOOTCFG file to include all the information needed.
If you are only using physical ICP boards, edit the boot configuration and load files to
match your Freeway setup as described in this section. For further information about
the boot configuration file, see Section 3.2.
If you are only using virtual ICP devices (ICP_IP), edit the
BOOTCFG.IP configuration
file as described in Section 3.2.1 on page 108.
If you are using both physical ICP boards and virtual ICP devices, modify one
[FREE-
WAY.BOOT]BOOTCFG
file to include all the information needed for each of the physi-
cal devices (ICP boards, described in this section) and virtual devices (ICP_IP devices,
described in Section 3.2.1 on page 108) in your system. Be sure that only one instance
of each
device_name is used in this file.
The
download_script parameter in the boot configuration file defines the path name of
the load file. The load file contains the commands that download the protocol or pro-
tocol toolkit software to the ICP.
SET DEF SYS$SYSDEVICE:[FREEWAY.BOOT]
Step 1: Edit the boot file (bootcfg.xxx)
For a Freeway 1100 with both ICP2424 and ICP2432 boards installed, merge the
BOOTCFG.ISA and BOOTCFG.PCI files to form a new configuration file, including the
physical parameters for each ICP installed in your Freeway. Be sure that only one
instance of each
device_name is used in this file.
