Joe,
Removing any station from a system is always difficult in IA without doing a
complete Day0 install.
Not clear if you can get into a specific CP from the control configurator or
not. Are the CP's good in System Management?
If the CP's are good in SysMgmt but you cannot access them in the configurator,
you should be able to clean out a CP by copying the DB<LBUG>.init file into
DB<LBUG>.UC (checkpoint file) and rebooting the CP which initializes the CP
memory. Then hopefully you can access the CP in the control configurator.
When you are in the CP with the control configurator, INITIALIZE the CP which
will clear all the other files including the CSA files.

Scott,
Thanks for the advice but there is no emergency here...
We wanted to basically remove an AW70 from the Node and move its hosting
responsibilities to a different, existing AW70. I followed the SysDef and
Windows NT Upgrade Considerations manuals as best as I could and all
appeared to go smoothly, no errors. It looks like most of it is there and
not sure if the manuals missed something or I did. Just looking to the
expertise of this group, especially folks like yourself, as we all do to
help out with the 2 issues:
- When I open the CIO_Config it appears that all of the Compounds are
listed but when I pick one I get "CSA Error - CSgetcmpd Failed". The CPs
are empty and not even on line because I think I need to move the Checkpoint
files from the old AW70 to the new one to reboot them; maybe? I was hoping
to do a Load_All from the Save_All files and then checkpoint them so the
Checkpoint files are up to date.
- If I select the CIO_Station_Config there are no CPs listed. Is that not
just a missing cplns type file somewhere?
I want to perform a clean Load_All on the CPs, just not sure when/how as
nothing was mentioned in the manuals.
Thanks

Joe,
The Field Service organization as an internal Best Practices bullet item
typically requires our Service Engineers
to submit a upgrade/system plan doing significant alterations to a
customer system.
Do you have a organization that is capable of reviewing, commenting and
proctoring such installations ?
My old mentor John Duggar used to say "Poor planning on your part does
not constitute an Emergency on my part"
Regards,
Scott

That was quite the load of changes. So was old CP host checkpoint files
removed, rm_station run to remove former sict table entries. Is CSA truly
only running in one place now. There is a whole list of checks.

Russ, et al
Thanks for the lead on the cdrom setup... As part of the SysDef
changes, I also wanted to move a System Monitor, the CSA, the ICC, and
the CP Hosting to a different AW70. I think the SysDef changes were
easy enough and the
"5.2.1 Procedure to Move CSA between 70 Series Stations" per V6.1
Windows NT Upgrade Considerations Manual B0193XL also seemed to go
smoothly with no errors.
However, when I open the CIO_Config it appears that all of the
Compounds are listed but when I pick one I get "CSA Error - CSgetcmpd
Failed". And if I instead select a Station there are no CPs listed.
Before starting I ran /opt/fox/ciocfg/api/save_all for all CPs on the
original AW70, copied them all to the new AW70, but when I run
/opt/fox/ciocfg/api/load_all for each CP the script just hangs forever.
Where did I go wrong; what did I miss?

Windows NT AW70 folks,
I revised the SysDef files and created a commit diskette. There are a
number of manuals describing the SysDef process up to and including
creating the commit diskette but I cannot find anything on what to do with
I have done plenty of UNIX boxes (Config/Install_AW) but never a WinNTbox.
Anyone remember how to re-commit Windows NT AW70?
Thanks
