The Question is:
I am troubleshooting a system startup issue and need to understand the order in
which the various steps occur. Eleven steps are called out in section 5.2.2
of the system manager's manual the last of which ends with enabling the
operator console and SMI s
erver. This list does not go far enough for me.
Specifically, I need to know the order in which the SYSMAN LPMAIN procedures
and the SYS$MANAGER:SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM procedure are executed. I believe I am
seeing that LPMAIN procedures are done after SYSTARTUP_VMS, but cannot reboot
with sufficient freedo
m to proove that to myself.
Thanks
The Answer is :
The System Manager's manual has a section on Understanding Startup
Databases, and on customizing the operating system, both of which
will be of interest here. Other material in the same general area
of the manual will likely also be of interest, of course.
To display the sequencing, commands such as the following can
be used:
SYSMAN> STARTUP SET DATABASE STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE
SYSMAN> STARTUP SET DATABASE STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE
As documented, the LPBEGIN phase contains the invocation of the
SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM system startup procedure. Phases LPMAIN and
LPBETA follow.
There are also documented mechanisms for logging and debugging the
system startup procedures, using the STARTUP_Px parameters. For
details, see Booting While Displaying Startup Procedure Commands
in the System Manager's manual.
