Configuration Rules 2-21
If you need to run configuration utilities from various partitions, and have only
one floppy drive, you can attach it to separate partitions as follows:
1.
Shut down the operating system instances in each partition.
2.
Disable partitions and reinitialize the system to a nonpartitioned state, as
described in Section 5.3. You may wish to record the environment variable
information and use it when you re-enable partitions.
3.
Power the system down.
4.
Disconnect the floppy power and signal cables from the KFE70 or KFE72-
EA on partition 0 and reattach them to the KFE72-DA that resides on the
KFTIA or KFTHA of the partition you want to configure. See the left side of
Figure 2–11 for the location of these power and signal cables.
5.
Remove power from any other DWLPB that contains a KFE72 (see the right
side of Figure 2–11).
6.
Power up the system.
7.
Run the desired utilities, inserting the floppy and running it from the floppy
drive you just moved.
8.
Power the system down.
9.
Reconnect 48v to any DWLPB that you removed in step 5.
10.
Move floppy drive to whichever partition you want it on.
11.
Power up the system.
12.
Initialize the partitions. If you need to make any changes to partition-
specific environment variables, make sure the primary partition and
secondary partition’s auto_action environment variable is set to halt so
that you can make these changes from each console terminal.
