Description
The hardcore routine find_rpv_subsystem.pl1 processes information in the BCE rpv command, which tells the software which disk contains the root physical volume. This statement usually has the form:
rpv a11 ipc 3381 0a
Notice that the first argument to the rpv command is an IOM letter and 2-digit channel number. But it looks like the word "all". If the user enters unacceptable values for any argument, the routine prompts the user for a new set of arguments. Or the user may reply "help" in which the following subroutine displays information about the rpv argument:
HELP:
procedure (Arg_list_ptr) options (non_quick);
declare Arg_list_ptr ptr;
call ioa_ ("For an ordinary boot, enter:");
call ioa_ (" rpv Icc MPC_Model Drive_Model Drive_Number");
call ioa_ (" Where: I is the iom tag, cc is the base channel in decimal,");
call ioa_ (" MPC_Model is MPC Model, ");
call ioa_ (" Drive_Model is RPV drive model number, and ");
call ioa_ (" Drive_Number is the RPV device number.");
call ioa_ ("^/For a cold boot, enter:");
call ioa_ (" cold Icc MPC_Model Drive_Model Drive_Number");
call ioa_ ("^/To skip the firmware loading of the MPC, enter");
call ioa_ (" skip_load or skip");
call ioa_ ("^/If this still is not clear, enter ""query"" for a setp-by-step query");
go to AGAIN;
end HELP;
Notice the typo "setp" instead of "step" in the last "call ioa_" statement above. This typo should be fixed.
