Note the above is an ?06 HLT which means the processor executed a HALT
instruction within the code it was running!! PCM *did not* do this. The
PC is a physical PC so we were somewhere within VMB or SYSBOOT
more than likely.
In a nutshell your initial boot failed and it was not the fault of PCM.

hi Dan,
Thanks for the feedback.
Do you think that it's wise to add the following command
to his dialog file :
rate 5
unlock
send control_p
send " "
send "INITIALIZE" --> add this command to reset the bus
send "B"
...
Rgds,
Geert

| Geert,
It sure wouldn't hurt anything! You might want to put a WAIT command
to wait for the >>> prompt before entering the B. it can take a few
seconds for the INIT to complete and your B command could get dropped
on the floor.

Dan

Hi Dan,
I had this feedback from the customer.
Do you have any idea where to look for ?
The customer isn't happy with our PCM support(a few IPMT
are open for months without solution)
I appreciate your help.
Rgds,
Geert
===========================================================================
I have modified our test boot script as you requested,
now the boot script looks like
rate 5
unlock
! send control_p
send " "
send "INITIALIZE"
wait ">>>"
send "B"
! send control_g
send " "
In the console output I received the following messages:
At the initial boot

Everything goes well untill the next reboot,
the earlier boot was to load an empty system and afterwards I
tried to boot with full system (normal procedure,old script used)
Now you can see it was halted during the boot !

| Geert,
I am trying your boot scriot out on a local system and all seems to
be well. The system I am using is a 4000 VLC. One thing I noticed is
your rate command. The value of 5 means to wait 5 milliseconds which
is basically not possible to do on a VMS system. Set the rate value to
1000 and see hwo it goes.

Dan

Hi Dan,
The customer did the test, but now he has ...
Rgds,
Geert
============================================================
I have modified as suggested our boot-script
rate 1000
unlock
! send control_p
send " "
send "INITIALIZE"
wait ">>>"
send "B"
! send control_g
send " "
But at the console I noticed that the scripts hangs at the Chevron-prompt
26-Oct-1995 16:20:40 ?02 EXT HLT
26-Oct-1995 16:20:41 PC = 8000658A
26-Oct-1995 16:20:41 [c>>>INITIALIZE
26-Oct-1995 16:20:42 >>>
I have waited several minutes but no change, the "B" was not
arriving.
What could be wrong ?

| Geert,
My fault!!! I meant to tell you to include a SPEED command in the
file. SPEED is in milliseconds, RATE *is* in seconds. I apologize for
that. Put a SPEED 1000 command in the file and set RATE back to your
original value.

Hi Dan,
Customer still has the ^C problem. Any more ideas ?
Do you think that it's a hardware problem. I happens 1 time
on 2 attempts.
Thanks in advance.

Dan,
I received the dialog file of the customer :
rate 5
unlock
! send control_p
send "^P"
! send control_g
send "^G"
And I don't receive the ^C but a ^J on a VAX 6000 as monitor
system.
As to me this is a PCM problem !

Geert

I'm not folloiwng you here. Where/when do you get the ctrl-J aka a LF
char. PCM is passive it doesn't just send characters of it's own
accord. Plus, why is he sending a bell character after halting the
processor?

Passive ? I want to believe you, but you can see it with your own
eyes. There is no CTRL-J in the dialog file.
And the customer does receive a CTRL C on his ELN systems. Yes, systems.
And if you do it manually it works fine (I've included my test on a VAX 6000
at the end)!
