Reloading a Single Processor on a Running Server
Using TACL RELOAD to Perform Reload
Run the RELOAD utility to reload the remaining processors after the first processor in a
system has been brought up, or to recover a processor that has failed.
The H-series RELOAD utility allows you to omit (or exclude) a Blade Element from the
reload operation. This allows you get the processor running for the PEs on the other
Blade Elements, take a dump of the PE on the omitted Blade Element, and then
reintegrate it back into the running processor. The OMITBLADE parameter allows you
to specify the Blade Element (A, B, or C) to be excluded from the reload or, used
without specifying a particular Blade Element, OMITBLADE selects a Blade Element to
be excluded.
1. Select File>Start Terminal Emulator.
2. From the menu, select For Startup TACL. Two OutsideView windows appear.
3. In the Enter Telnet IP Address box, type the IP address that is currently configured
for your primary service connection. If the processor for the primary service
connection IP address is down, type the IP address that is currently configured for
your backup service connection.
4. Click OK. The OutsideView window is active, and the TACL1> prompt appears.
5. Enter the super ID (255,255) and press Enter.
6. Type the password and press Enter.
A $SYSTEM STARTUP 1> prompt appears (the prompt depends on your defaults).
7. Use the RELOAD command as appropriate for your scenario.
run-option
is any of the options described in the RUN[D|V] Command, in the HP NonStop
TACL Reference Manual.
cpu-set
is a set of processors (and options) to be reloaded. Specify cpu-set as:
{ cpu-range } [, option, option, ... ]
{ ( cpu-range, cpu-range, ...) }
{ * }
cpu-range
Note. If you plan to dump the PE for one Blade Element after reloading, use RELOAD
with the OMITBLADE parameter. If you don’t know which Blade Element to specify, use
OMITBLADE without specifying A, B, or C. RELOAD will choose an appropriate Blade
Element, and reply with the letter of the Blade Element that was omitted. Use this to
specify the Blade Element in the RCVDUMP command.
