Hi Joe,
Wow you seem to have a number of issues here....
From my quick read you have at least 2 different issues. 1, your system monitor
is not running, 2 your CPs are not booting on the new host.
System Monitor, it is not fully running, there should be more smon processes
running. This is very likely due to not having the domain file, that you
mentioned is missing. When you commit a station all domain files from the
commit disk are placed in the /usr/fox/sp/results directory, then copied to the
/usr/fox/sysmgm/sysmon. (FYI, if you ever remove a sysmon from a sysdef you
have to manually remove the file from here also, otherwise it will be copied
out each time you commit) Check here for the domain file, if its missing
something went wrong extracting the file from the commit disk or moving it to
the new location.
Under normal circumstances new CPs will boot GREEN on a configured host, no
need to do anything to put them online, they boot online.
Things I would check... If the old host is still online use rm_station to clear
down the SICT tables, manually remove the old CP CMX files and workfiles.
(backup first ;))
Log the Romload server (FAQ28), create the file
/opt/fox/sysmgm/softmgr/file/sm_errs, look for any errors.
However, in my experience I have seen issues with corrupt commit disks with no
errors logged, especially when using old floppies multiple times. Try find a
new floppy disk and re-create the commit disk and try again. And always try, if
possible to do a saveall, initialize and loadall to move a CP database, it's
the cleanest way. Bootless CP moves need more planning and work....

WHAT WENT WRONG, EVERYTHING LOOKS OK TO ME?
*****If you get system monitor not responding it is because smon process is not

ps -eaf | grep smon

***** Plus you don't need system monitor running to get a CP to boot.***** I
guess this is where I am confused. How do I boot or LoadAll a CP that is not
on-line? Mine are plugged in with red/green lights...

There is a domain file for each System Monitor These are not straight asci
files, so need to be looked at with hex reader or can use notepad or wordpad
but will be scrambled a bit.
If you get system monitor not responding it is because smon process is not
running.
Plus you don't need system monitor running to get a CP to boot.
As to AW to CP communications.
I would fist the AW itself to get a node address Then fist a CP to see if they
think they are on same node
If CP doesn't successfully fist then look in the IIF.prm file to see what CP
NSAP is....below example would be 000002 and AW would be 000001 which means
they cant talk if this is a single node system.
AWNT01 CP6N01 OS1C60 ADRNSP 001 000002
AWNT01 AWNT01 OS7AW1 ADRNSP 001 000001

What/Where is the file for System Monitor names and stations?

Russ,
Sooooooooooooooo... I revisited the SysDef and I guess I missed a couple of
things. I made some changes and performed another commit. I definitely am
getting closer now because...
- sldb now shows the CPs and their correct host so...
- the ICC now lists the hosted CPs and...
- IIF.cur shows all DONE.
I believe at this point the SysDef and commit process is successful.
Although the ICC and FoxSelect list the CPs now, they cannot communicate with
the CPs "ICC = Communication to CP (-1071) Failed". And I tried
/opt/fox/ciocfg/api/load_all to the CPs and it just hangs. And the CPs will
not boot to the Checkpoint files I copied from the original AW70 host. I
finally figured out the reason is...
The CPs are not on-line. If I open the System Management Display it still
shows "System Monitor not Responding". So the only thing missing at this point
is the System Monitor so I can put the CPs on-line. I specifically remember
assigning one to the new AW70, giving it a name and adding the CP Stations to
monitor. So I am not sure what I still missed but I will revisit the SysDef
again tonight...
Thanks again for the help getting me this far...
