<h1 class="topictitle1">Operating mode of an IPL</h1>
|
||
|
|
<div><p>Use the <dfn class="term">operating mode</dfn> to determine the number of
|
||
|
|
options that are presented to the operator for consideration during and after
|
||
|
|
the initial program load (IPL). It can also secure (lock) the control panel
|
||
|
|
to prevent an unauthorized or inadvertent IPL from the control panel.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are four operating modes:</p>
|
||
|
|
<dl><dt class="dlterm">Normal (unattended)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>After the power-on, operating the system in <span class="uicontrol">Normal</span> (unattended)
|
||
|
|
mode requires no operator intervention during the IPL. <p>When you turn on
|
||
|
|
the system in normal mode, it performs the IPL and presents the Sign On display
|
||
|
|
on all available display stations. The operator cannot change the system during
|
||
|
|
the IPL. Dedicated service tools (DST) and the operating system do not present
|
||
|
|
any displays during this IPL.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use a normal mode (unattended) IPL to
|
||
|
|
perform the following actions:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Perform an IPL and run the system for most routine work</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Perform a remote IPL</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Turn on and perform an IPL by date and time</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</dd>
|
||
|
|
<dd class="ddexpand"> </dd>
|
||
|
|
<dt class="dlterm">Manual (attended)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>After power-on, operating the system in <span class="uicontrol">Manual</span> (attended)
|
||
|
|
mode means that an operator uses the control panel to direct the system for
|
||
|
|
special needs. <p>During manual mode IPL, DST and the operating system present
|
||
|
|
menus and prompts that allow you to make changes to the internal system environment.
|
||
|
|
This can include entering debug mode for service representatives to diagnose
|
||
|
|
difficult problems.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Use manual mode to IPL and run the system to perform
|
||
|
|
the following actions:</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul><li>Change IPL options (including system values)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Install the operating system</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Load fixes (PTFs)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Make some types of system hardware upgrades</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Use DST (for advanced users and service only)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Problem diagnosis (for advanced users and service only)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>

<dd class="ddexpand"> </dd>
|

<dt class="dlterm">Auto (automatic)</dt>
|
||
|
|
<dd>Use <span class="uicontrol">Auto</span> mode for an automatic remote IPL, automatic
|
||
|

IPL by date and time, and an automatic IPL after a power failure.</dd>

to perform an IPL. This mode is not a form of IPL; it is a means to prevent

an unauthorized or inadvertent IPL from the control panel.</dd>
