Starting SWCI

Starting SWCI

1. Before starting SWCI, review these considerations:

•

You must be a super-group user (255,

n

) to run SWCI.

•

When you start SWCI, SWCI checks for the device specified in the RUN
command. If that device exists, SWCI checks the device type and subtype,
which must be type 6 (terminal type), subtype 0 (asynchronous serial device).

•

If the device type and subtype are incorrect, SWCI returns an error
message.

•

If the specified device name does not exist on the specified node, SWCI
returns an error message and terminates.

2. Start SWCI from a terminal connected to a server.

•

To start SWCI from a NonStop S-series server directly connected to a specific
switch module, at a TACL prompt, type:

1> RUN $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SWCI $switchmoduledevice

where:

$switchmoduledevice

is the device name of the switch module

At startup, SWCI displays the command prompt:

SWCI $switchmoduledevice >

For example:

1> RUN $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.SWCI $NDSWA.#TERM

starts SWCI and displays the command prompt:

SWCI $NDSWA.#TERM >

Note.

Although it is possible to run SWCI from other servers connected to the switch module,

NonStop S-series servers are the only servers documented in this guide.
