In general, you should reset the deadstart panel for a
warmstart immediately after a coldstart from a card
reader if the controlware has been loaded successfully. If
the disk subsystem is functioning properly, there is no need
to perform another coldstart after initial loading of the
control ware.
Panel Settings for Coldstert of 7152/7155 Disk Controller
from Disk Unit
The specific function of the deadstart program during
coldstart from a disk unit is as follows:
Identifies the controller and channel number used
to
access
the
disk
unit
from
which
the
controlware is to be read.
Also specifies the
controller, channel, and unit number of the drive
on which the deadstart disk is mounted.
Reads the controlware.
The function of this
controlware
is
to
load
the
disk
controller.
Processing of the deadstart file according to the
options specified on the deadstart panel is then
initiated.
The equipment necessary for the devices used during
coldstart is identified by setting the switches shown in the
unshaded area of the deadstart panel illustrated in figure
2-6.
This includes the channel number and controller
associated with the card reader and the channel, controller,
and unit number of the disk unit.
The disk unit must be on a channel with no active PP (for
example, channel 0, 12, or 13). Refer to appendix H to
determine the channels without a PP at your site.

LOADING ell MODULE TO DISK
Loading the CTI module to disk enables you to perform
warmstart
from
disk.
It
also
enables
the
off-line
maintenance system to be run if MSL is available at your
site and is subsequently installed on· disk. Before CTI can
be loaded, the tape controlware must be loaded and
functioning properly. This is accomplished by coldstart as
described earlier in this section.
