Switch the circuit breaker, located on the front of the supply power distribution unit, to ..."ON". 2. Turn the ..."OFF/ON/SECURE"...keyswitch to the ..."ON"... position. 3. Depress the ..."POWER ON"... pushbutton. a. The SSM will run selftest, evident by the LED's on the pcb. b. At the end of selftest the SSM will want to get a higher level of firmware (level 2). 4. If the SSM autoboot flags are set to true ..."1"... the SSM will display on the console: ..."SSM Firmware (level 1) version x. x. x 5 seconds to boot, press any key to stop:"... where x will denote the EPROM firmware level. a. If there is any question as to whether or not the Boot Paths are correct, then a key should be depressed at this time. b. The SSM will display on the console: ..."Auto boot aborted ->"...with the cursor to the right of the arrow. c. Enter ..."pr bs"... to display the current boot paths as follows correctly: ..."lvl2Path = wd(0,32) opfwPath = wd(0,0)ssm/fw/opfw monAuto = 1 diagPath = wd(0,0)ssm/diag/exec diagAuto = 0 ->"... d. If these paths are not correct they may be corrected at this time by entering: ..."bs (the path as it should appear)"... eg; ..."bs lvl2Path=wd(0,32)"... after a line has been reentered enter ..."pr bs"... to verify correctness. e. A decision may be made at this time regarding the boot of DEMON. If DEMON is desired instead of the O.S., then the diagAuto flag should be set to "1". This automaticly sets the monAuto flag to "0". Remember to set the flags back when completed with DEMON. f. In either case, whether booting DEMON or the O.S. enter ..."bs"... to continue. 5. If the autoboot flags had been set to ..."0"... then the SSM would have stopped and displayed ..."->"... in which case steps 4c through 4f above could be followed. EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB005 Pg001 6. The SSM will perform several tests, display a found system . configuration, and again if the autoboot flags are set to ..."1"... will display: ..."5 seconds to boot, press any key to stop:"... a. There should be no reason to stop the boot at this point, since we have already verified the level 2 and level 3 SSM boot paths. b. If the autoboot flags are set to ..."0"... the SSM will stop and display ..."-->" on the console c. Enter ..."bs"... to continue. 7. The SSM again will run some system tests, but this time if . the ..."host"... boot flags are set to ..."1"... will display: ..."SSM Firmware (operational) version x. x. x 5 seconds to boot, press any key to stop: --->"... where x denotes what version of firmware has been installed. a. If there is any question as to whether the host boot paths are correct, then a key should be depressed; at which point the SSM will display: ..."auto boot aborted --->"... b. Enter ..."pr bh"... to display the host boot paths which should be as follows: ....osPath =0 wd(0,0)unix -r wd0s0 -s wd0s1 autoBoot =1 tempPath =0 wd(0,0)unix -r wd0s0 -s wd0s1 auxPath =88 wd(0,0)stand/dump wd(0,1) 8000 /dev/rdsk/wd0s1 autoDump =1 --->"... c. If any of the paths are not correct then at the ..."--->"...prompt enter: ..."bh (the correction)" eg: ..."bh tmpPath='wd(0,0)unix -r wd0s0 -s wd0s1'"... note the single quotes ' around the corrected infor- mation. This tells the SSM to set up it's own spacing. d. If any corrections are made then enter ..."pr bh"... to verify correctness. c. If the autoboot flag had been set to "0" the SSM would have stopped with the prompt ..."--->"... f. Enter ..."bh"... to continue. 8. The Operating System will now be loaded ending with the terminal screen. B. Shutdown 1. If the system is multiuser mode, a concerted effort needs to be made to warn all users of the impending shutdown. 2. At the prompt ..."#"... on the console terminal enter ..."who"..., there should be only you on the system. 3. At the prompt ..."#"... enter: ..."shutdown -iA -gB -y"... where "A" denotes the type of shutdown ...0 = to firmware for powerdown (default) 1 = to single user mode 2 = to multiuser mode (not used with shutdown) 3,4,5= not used at this time EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB005 Pg002 6 = shutdown then reboot automaticly where "B" denotes the grace period before shutdown commences in seconds. Default is "60" seconds. where "y" preanswers the question "Do you wish to continue" ORIGINATOR: M. SHEHAN EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB005 Pg003 FIB 00006 08/23/90 *** INSTALL AN O.S. *** The GPx-70 O.S. installation process consists of three phases. Phase 0 is the installation of a new VTOC and/or a new Miniroot, normally only done at initial install or system disk reformat/ repartition. A. Write a miniVTOC B. Install the miniRoot C. Boot the miniRoot Phase 1, the installation and update of the BOSS/VS Operating System, is done as part of the initial install and/or O.S. Update. A. Write full VTOC (initial install only) B. Copy Base O.S. files C. Set date and time D. Install configuration record Phase 2 is done to install or update optional software packages. This document will proceed as though the system disk has been formatted, thus start by booting from tape. Phase 0 1. At the end of SSM EPROM selftest the SSM will prompt on the console terminal with ..."->"... Install an Operating System tape in the tape drive. Enter ..."bs tm(48,2)" ...Where 48 is the tape device number (was 56 prior to 1.0A*56 O.S. release) and 2 is the file number on tape (0 relative). This command will get level 2 firmware installed to the SSM. 2. Level 2 Firmware will initiate some selftests in the system then after displaying a found configuration of the System Bus will prompt with ..."-->"... Enter ..."bs tm(48,3)"...to get Operating firmware installed to the SSM. 3. Operating (level 3) firmware will return a prompt of ..."--->"... Write a MiniVTOC Enter ..."bh 3tm(48,4)"...to load and execute the tape boot program. 4. The Boot program will identify itself and return a prompt of ...":"... Enter ..."tm(48,5)"...to load the program to write a minimal VTOC. (Continued on Next Page) EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB006 Pg001 5. The Minimal VTOC program will prompt for the device on which to write the VTOC. Enter ..."wd(0,0)"... 6. The Minimal VTOC program will then display the default partition number, location, and size. Depress the "ENTER" key to accept the defaults. 7. After the Minimal VTOC program completes the system is returned to the level 3 firmware with a prompt of ..."--->"... Install the MiniRoot Enter ..."bh 3tm(48,4)"...to return to the tape Boot program. 8. The Boot program will again prompt ...":"... Enter ..."tm(48,6)"...to read from tape and run the copy program. 9. The Copy program will prompt for an input (source) file. Enter ..."tm(48,10)"... 10. The Copy program will then prompt for an output (destination) file. Enter ..."wd(0,8)"...to designate disk 0 partition 8 henceforth known as the MINIROOT. 11. When the Copy program has completed the system will return to the operating firmware (level 3) prompt ..."--->"... Booting the MiniRoot Enter ..."bh 3tm(48,4)"... to once again get the tape Boot program. 13. The tape Boot program will again prompt ...":"...

Enter ..."i"...to select installing the partitions as shown. 22. The Disk Partitioning Program will now create the file systems, write the VTOC, and write the superblocks. O.S. Files Install The Install program now continues to copy some of the basic O.S. files to the new filesystems, specifically the root and partition 12 the SSM firmware. 23. At the completion of this portion the system prompts: "The system is currently called "GPx-70" Do you wish to change it? (y/n) " (Continued on Next Page) EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB006 Pg003 This is only relevant if the system is in a network, so unless other wise specified: Enter ..."CR"...to accept the default name. Set Date and Time 24. The will now display the date and time as it sees it and prompt: "would you like to set the date and time? (y/n) " Enter ..."y"...since the date and time are probably wrong. 25. The system prompts: "Current time and time zone is: HH:MM EDT change the time zone? (y/n) Enter ..."y"... 26. The system will display the known time zones with the prompt: "Select the time zone " Enter the number to the left of your time zone. 27. The system will prompt: "Does your time zone use DST (Daylight Saving Time) during the year (y/n)? Enter the appropriate response, "y" or "n". 28. The system will prompt: "Current date and time xxx. mm/dd/yy hh:mm change the date and time (y/n)?" Enter ..."y"... 29. The system will prompt for the year, month, day, hour, and minute one at a time in their turn. After all have been entered, then the system will prompt with: "Date and time will be set to mm/dd/yy hh:mm (y/n)?" Enter ..."y"... if the date and time are correct, if not enter "n" to go back. 30. The system will now prompt: "Enter the password for super-user (root and miniroot) new password: " Make certain to confer with the Key Operator or the System Manager to find what he/she wants the password to be. This password must conform to the normal password constraints. The system will prompt: "rekey password:" Configuration Record 31.

SHEHAN EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB006 Pg006 FIB 00007 08/24/90 *** ADDING MEMORY *** The addition of more memory will be accomplished in 5 major steps. 1. Save the old "dct". (Just for fall back, if needed.) 2. Create a new "dct", to match the new memory configuration. 3. Install the hardware. 4. Install a new configuration record. 5. Verify the match of memory and "dct". For illustration purposes only, eg: "dct" file selection, this document will use an upgrade from 24MB of memory to 32MB as example. A. Save of the old "dct" files. 1. Log in as "root". 2. Save the existing binary file. At the system prompt "#", ..."cp /etc/dct /etc/dct.savbin"... 3. Save the currently running "dct", now in memory (takes a few moments to retrieve from memory. At the system prompt "#", ..."mkdct -x - -v > /etc/dct.curcfg"... 4. Make note of these two file's names, in the event of some customizing. If the current "dct" has been customized, these files can be used for reference to customize the new . "dct" after running for a short time. B. Create new "dct" file. 1. Make certain the source file exists. At the prompt "#" key ..."ls -l /etc/dct*"... In our example we would search for a file named, "/etc/dct32.asc", the 32 refers to the upgraded memory size. 2. create a new binary file. At the system prompt "#", key ..."mkdct -f /etc/dct32.asc -o /etc/dct -v"... 3. Verify the new binary file. At the system prompt "#", key . ..."mkdct -r -o /etc/dct -v |pg"... Look for the line item "dctmemsize" which should indicate "8192". (The actual memory size "32MB" divided by 4.), in the case of our example. C. Install the hardware. 1. shutdown the system. At the system prompt "#" key, ..."who"... to make certain you are the only one logged on. If you are the only one again at the prompt "#" key, ..."shutdown -i0 -g0 -y"... 2. Once the firmware prompt has been reached "--->", turn the keyswitch to off. 3. Install the new pcb.(s) following the system bus pcb place-. ment and cabling charts in either the "FIB's" or the "GPx-70 Installation and Maintenance Manual. (There are no switch . or jumper settings associated with the memory pcb's.) D. Install the new configuration record. 1. Refer to the "Install a Configuration Record" Cookbook FIB. (CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE) EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB007 Pg001 E. Verify the upgrade. 1. Logged on again as "root", at the system prompt "#" key ..."showcfg"..., the mem line should show 32MB of memory. ..."memsize"..., should show 33554432 (32 x 1024 x1024) 2. Verify the new "dct" files, by at the prompt "#" key ..."mkdct -r -o /etc/dct -v |pg"...to see the new binary file. dctmemsize should = "8192" (4 x 1024 pages). To see the the dct file running in memory, at the prompt "#" ..."mkdct -x - -v |pg"..., again dctmemsize should = "8192". ***THE AMMOUNTS SHOWN IN THE VERIFY MATCH OUR 32 MB EXAMPLE AND MAY BE DIFFERENT FOR YOUR UPGRADE*** ORIGINATOR: M. SHEHAN EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB007 Pg002 FIB 00008 08/30/90 *** UPDATE OF THE O.S. *** WARNING: Before attempting any update, it is recommended you have a verified backup of the customer's data. Ensure that this backup doesn't contain any of the O.S. files. 1. If the system is currently running, it will need to be shutdown to the firmware prompt "--->". (see the "System Startup/shutdown" FIB) 2. When at the firmware prompt "--->", to boot to the "miniroot" enter, ..."bh 'wd(0,8)unix -M -r wd0s8 -s wd0s8'"... 3. The "miniroot" will load then prompt for the "root" password. It will be necessary to ask the system manager or lead operator for this information. 4. After the password has been keyed, the system will prompt for the terminal type. Enter the type of terminal you are on, or "CR" if your terminal type matches the default. 5. When the system displays the root prompt "#", enter ..."./INSTALL".. to get to the Install Program options. 6. The system will display a menu of options: F ------- Full U ------- Update I ------- Configuration Record S ------- SSM Firmware R ------- Reboot H ------- Help E ------- Exit/Abort Enter ..."U"... to select update. 7. The system will display messages regarding the file systems it's mounting and checking. (The primary disk must contain a valid BOSS/VX filesystem for the update to continue.) The system will then prompt to have the OS release tape mounted in the tape drive. Enter ..."CR"... after the "Base OS tape" is in the drive. 8. A list of files that will not be updated are then displayed along with the prompt: "Would you like to change the list (y/n)?" Enter ..."y"..., if you wish to modify the list; at which point you will be prompted to add or delete. Otherwise enter ..."n"... 9. At this time the BOSS/VX software will be copied from tape to disk, and all the flagged files will be put back into their proper place. At the end of the copy process the system will prompt: "Would you like to reinstall the dct (y/n)?" If the system's configuration has changed and the dct needs to be updated or a default dct needs to be installed , then enter ..."y".. Otherwise enter ..."n"... (Continued on next page) EDUCATION-FIELD TRAINING-GPx 70---------------------FIB008 Pg001 10. The system will next prompt with: "Install the configuration record (y/n)?". If the system's configuration has changed and a new configuration record needs to be installed, or if you wish to reinstall the old configuration record, then enter ..."y"...; otherwise enter ..."n".. 11. The system will now prompt with "Press to main menu, or "r" to reboot the system" Enter ..."r"... to boot from the newly updated system disk. ORIGINATOR: M.
