Newbie Questions
Hello,
Just a simple question for all you Gurus.
How to shutdown tru64 system?
As far as I know , execute init 0 from the shell and the system comes to P000> prompt which is the service prompt.
But now the question is , can we make hardware changes to the system while the system is at service prompt? Or is there any other way to completely shut down the system?
Basically we want to connect a tape drive to the system.
Thanks,
admin

Re: Newbie Questions
this could depend on what the physical box is,eg:ES40,DS20.
on an ES40 there are 3 buttons on the front panel. If you are just connecting a tape drive, you could connect it up, and then re-init the box at the P000> prompt, this will probe the SCSI bus again. then you can do 'show config' to see if it has picked the device up. Then when you start tru64 you should see it try to dynamically create the new device files,etc.
Hope that helps
regards
Matt

Re: Newbie Questions
at the P000> prompt use init to reinit the system, to power off/on enter the rmc usually by typing ^[^[rmc (i have seen right brackets, rcm instead of rmc and esc esc instead of thee ctrl bracket sequence). there is a help in the rmc also.

I'd be fairly happy doing that with the server up and running, as long as I knew what else, if anything, was on the SCSI bus that I connected the tape drive to...
Once physically connected, you could do a:
# hwmgr scan scsi (for v5)
or
# scu scan edt (for v4)
To look for changes on the SCSI bus.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Rob

Re: Newbie Questions
if the vaiables "bootdef_dev" is not empty and "boot_osflags = A", the system will try to boot from the specified disk after the init, unless the halt-switch is asserted.
On some models this switch is not an on/of switch, but a momentary switch, you need to press it immediately after the "graphics init" on screen if you want to stop booting after the init.

Not necessarily.. .that depends on the setting of the "auto_action" SRM variable...
