1. 1Sysgen overview

This chapter provides information on different type of sysgens, operating system software (OSS), and the resource information needed when performing a system sysgen.

Sysgen definition A system generation, or sysgen, is the process you use to install,

upgrade, or modify the operating system software (OSS) on a Xerox Laser Printing System (LPS).

Types of sysgen Table 1-1 lists the purpose of each sysgen type.

Table 1-1. Types of sysgen

Sysgen type Purpose

Sysgen Build a new operating system on new or existing

system disks. Example:

— Installing a brand new system — Replacing, formatting or erasing a system

disk

— When required for installing a new software

release or patch.

Auto Add or update features or operating systems.

• Add new features to an existing operating

system

• Replace the existing version of the

operating system with a new version.

Mini Change the configuration options of the current

system without affecting user files. Example:

• Changing online host address

• Adding finishing equipment

Resource and information checklist

The following checklist will help you determine if you have all the resources and information necessary to begin a sysgen.

To perform a full sysgen, you need the following:

• Installed LPS

• OSS:

– 9-track reel-to-reel – 36-track 3490E cartridge – 1/4-inch cartri dge

• Font tapes:

– Standard font tape – Special font tapes (including logo and signature)

• User file tapes

• Documentation

– OSS Program Description (-11)

SYSGEN OVERVIEW

Information you need for full or update

sysgen

Questions to answer Before you begin a sysgen, know the answers to the following

– LPS Reference Set.

Refer to the “Related publications” section of the “Introduction” for a list of available documentation.

Before you begin a full or update sysgen, gather the following informa tion:

• Laser image alignment coordinates

• The number of forms, fonts, and (optionally) graphics settings

per page in your installation

• A list of all the user files resi d ent on the syst e m disks

• A hardcopy of your current system configura ti o n

• Print file size

• System disk IDs.

questions:

• Is the account file to be saved or deleted during the sysgen?

• Are the Mergenthaler fonts used by your installation?

• Do you have any site-specific patches to be applied in the post-

sysgen procedure?

• Are any of your .IPM files corrupt or missing?

Sysgen Command menu

2. 2Sysgen commands

This chapter explains the commands used for performing sysgens.

The Sysgen Command menu, illustrated in table 2-1, appears on the printing system display screen when you boot the sysgen processor. It also appears when COMMANDS is entered following the sysgen prompt character.

Note: The command HOSTCOPY options appears in your Sysgen Command menu only if your system has online capability.

The interactive dialogue for a particular procedure may vary slightly depending upon the release medium (tape or cartridge), input method (online or offline), and product configuration.

Command functions

computer to the LPS system disks. This option allows an online prin ti n g syst e m, with no magnetic tape drive, to retrieve tape files from the host.

UTO Builds a new operating system on the s ystem di sks from a SST and allows all System

files to be updated. The AUTO Sysgen reverts to a full Sysgen if a FORMAT has just been performed.

When you use AUTO for a recently formatted disk, configuration information is no longer available to the system from the disks and must be entered, as though the SYSGEN command had been used. The only truly automatic sysgen, using AUTO, can be an update sysgen.

This option requires less user interaction than SYSGEN by automatically invoking a standard sequence of sysgen commands. It differs from SYSGEN in the following ways:

• AUTO builds from tape input only.

• AUTO does not ask for a configuration update.

• AUTO automatically saves the accounting file.

INI Modifies the configuration file in response to selections made through the

Configuration Options menu. (Refer to the “Sample system configuration options” chapter.)

CAUTION: Do not execute the MINI command immediately following completion of a SYSGEN command. This prevents the application of patches.

Note that the only changes to the system configuration that should be made using mini are to those features whose software has been incorporated in the operating system by a previous sysgen. For example, you may deactivate or reactivate a feature or change interface address parameters by using the mini sysgen procedure. (Generally, when you add features to the system, the system files must be changed or patched. This requires an update sysgen, invoked using the SYSGEN or AUTO commands to ensure system file integrity.)

RASE Clears any or all of the system disks. All files on the disks, except for the MBAIS and

bad block files, are destroyed. This includes user files. Because the ERASE command does not perform a FORMAT or a sector check, it executes faster than the FORMAT command. (Refer to FORMAT.)

2-2 XEROX DOCUPRINT 96/DOCUPRINT 96MX LPS SYSTEM GENERATION GUIDE

Entering and abbreviating commands

Refer to the following directions when entering commands.

Entering comm and s Enter commands after the sysgen prompt character (>), then press

<ENTER> . After the command has completed processing, the prompt character

displays again (except after the BOOT command). The menu need not display for you to issue a command.

Abbreviating commands The command may be entered as shown in the menu or may be

abbreviated to as few letters as necessary to differentiate it from any other command in the menu.

Example To enter the command SYSGEN, yo u ca n e n te r a n y o f the foll o w ing

abbreviations:

• SY

• SYS

• SYSG

SYSGEN COMMANDS

• SYSGE

• ...or by SYSGEN spelled out in full.

Command strings You may enter several commands as a string, and the system

executes them ser i a ll y . For example, ent e r ing FOR MAT , SYSG EN , and BOOT, then pressing <ENTER>, results in each procedure being invoked in turn unless fatal errors occur.

Stages of the sysgen process An overview description of the sysgen process is shown in Table 3-1.

Table 3-1. Sysgen process

Stage Description

1 You start the sysgen process. 2 The LPS displays system configuratio n information on the

screen in a format similar to the illustration in table 3-2. The items differ depending upon your system components and the version of software you are using.

3 The system asks you if you want to make changes to the

configuration.

4 You answer “yes.”

5 The LPS displays the Configuration Opt ions me nu. 6 You enter the number of a listed option to select or deselect

a feature. For some options, a further list of suboptions displays.

7 The system incorporat es the software fo r each fe ature yo u

select into the operating system, and creates a configurat ion file (DISPCF.SYS).

Note: The printing system must have the appropriate hardware installed to support the features specified. Selecting uninstalled features may result in an unsuccessful sysgen, an unusable system, or both.

8 You can modify the configuration file by using the mini

sysgen procedure to deactivate or reactivate a feature.

9 Once your system is configured succes sfully, you can get

a copy of the configuration information by printing the customer billing report. Refer to the

DocuPrint 96MX LPS Operations Reference

Accounting file You are asked if you want to save user accounting information.

Remember that if a currently existing accounting file is not saved, you lose not only the accounting data but also the hierarchical data used to structure the file.

Report accounting You are asked if you want report accounting. This results in run

statistics being recorded for each report, as opposed to each job (which may contain several reports).

Setting default values After the sysgen completes , y ou may wa nt to adjust the

following parameters to which the sysgen automatically assigns default values:

• Maximum fonts per job (default 32)

• Maximum forms per job (default 12)

• Maximum graphics per job (default 32)

• Print file size (default of 425 cylinders is not determined

by a sysgen).
