Deadstart Tape

Creation

From time to time you might want to compile custom programs into the system or change your equipment configuration. The following steps document the creation of a new deadstart tape image from the previous version and the inclusion of a pre-compiled utility (LGO). The steps are performed under DIS and assume that the deadstart tape is still mounted on tape unit 50 and a new image with write ring has already been mounted on 51 via the operator interface:

CDC Terminal
RESOURC,NT=2. LABEL,OLD,VSN=****50,LB=KU,F=I. LABEL,NEW,VSN=****51,LB=KU,F=I. GET,LGO. LIBEDIT,P=OLD,N=NEW,B=LGO,Z./*BUILD SYSTEM UNLOAD,NEW. * UNLOAD,51.

Don't forget to change your configuration to deadstart from the newly created deadstart image in the future.
