MPE/iX Configuration and SYSGEN
During system installation, you can run SYSGEN to generate a CONFIG group of files for
subsequent boots. The CONFIG group of files determines the I/O configuration at system
startup (unless a different group is specified with the START command).
To generate a CONFIG group of files, use the appropriate configuration group supplied
with the system (see Table A-1).
Table A-1
Configuration Groups Supplied With the 99x
For many installations, the factory-supplied configuration group will be sufficient and will
not need to be modified; it can be saved as is, with the name of CONFIG.
You will need to modify the configuration files if the system requires LDEVs that are not
specified in the configuration group. SYSGEN allows you to add or delete entries in the
configuration files. Although deleting unneeded entries is not necessary, it reduces the
number of WARNING messages displayed when the system is started up.
For complete instructions on using SYSGEN, see the MPE/iX System Configuration
Manual (HP part number 32650-90042).
To create the CONFIG group:
1. Logon as MANAGER.SYS and run the SYSGEN program:
:SYSGEN
2. Assign the appropriate configuration group as the base group (see Table A-1). For
example:
sysgen> BA CONFG997
(Instead of CONFG990, you can specify some other configuration group name, such as
CONFG996 or ALINK995.)
