JPH05143293A - Initial system loading system by magnetic card - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To decrease the operation burden of an operator by storing respective instructions such as the formalizable initial system loading, in a magnetic card, calling the information of the card and executing it. CONSTITUTION:A system loading information input means 1 is started from a console control 3 at the timing to receive an attention key input from an operator, outputs the input promotion message of a magnetic card to store initial system loading information in a console display device 5 and becomes the queuing time. When the operator inputs the prescribed magnetic card into a magnetic reader 6, the system loading information input means 1 reads the initial system loading information stored in the magnetic card, delivers access channel information to a system resident volume to the console control 3 based on it, and performs the access setting. Next, a system resetting command and a system initial loading command are prepared, and respective commands are inputted to the console control 3. The console control 3 handles these like the manual input.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an initial system loading method for a computer system.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, the initial system loading process is generally performed manually by a system operator.

[0003]

As described above, when the initial system load is manually performed, there is a constant risk of repeated operations and a risk of operation mistakes.

An object of the present invention is to provide an initial system loading method using a magnetic card, which records a command operation in the initial system load on the magnetic card to reduce the operation load on the operator.

[0005]

According to the magnetic card initial system loading method of the present invention, a method of specifying an access route to a device having a system resident volume mounted, which can be standardized, a system reset, and an initial system are used.・ Store each loading instruction on the magnetic card.
System load information input means for reading the information on the card and actually executing the initial system load process,
System load information output means for storing the system load information in the magnetic card.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to illustrated embodiments.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an initial system loading method using a magnetic card according to an embodiment of the present invention. This system is composed of system load information input means 1, system load information output means 2, console control 3, console device 4, console display device 5, card reading device 6, card writing device 7, and host 8. It

The console device 4, the console display device 5, and the host 8 are each device constituting a computer system, and the console control 3
Is one of the components of the OS.

The card reading device 6 and the card writing device 7 are physically connected to the console device 4,
System load information input means 1 and system load information output means 2 respectively activated from console control
Shall be controlled from. The operation of each means will be described in detail below.

First, referring to FIG. 2, the system load information input means 1 is started from the console control 3 at the timing of receiving an attention key input from an operator, and first, as shown in step I, a console display. The device 5 outputs a magnetic card input prompt message storing the initial system load information,
It will be in a waiting state. The operator follows the prompting message
When a predetermined magnetic card is input to the magnetic reading device 6,
The system load information input means 1 reads the initial system load information stored in the magnetic card as shown in step II. After that, based on the read information,
First, as shown in step III, the access route information to the system resident volume is passed to the console control 3,
Set the access route. Next, as shown in steps IV and V, a system reset command and a system initial load command are created and input to the console control 3, respectively. The console control 3 treats the series of instructions passed from the system load information input means 1 as if the system operator manually entered a command from the console device 4,
Perform initial system load processing.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, the system load information output means 2 is started from the console control 3 at the timing of receiving an attention key input from the operator, and first, as shown in step VI, the operator. The information about the access route to the system-resident volume manually set by the user is received from the console control 3 and passed to the card writing device 7. The card writing device 7 writes the received information on the magnetic card. Then step VII
, And VIII, the system reset command and the initial system load command manually input by the operator are similarly received from the console control 3 and passed to the card writer 7. The card writing device 7 writes the received information on the magnetic card. In this way, the operator stores the standard initial system load operation in the magnetic card, and when necessary,
An initial system load operation can be easily input from the card reading device 6 attached to the console device 4.

[0012]

As described above, according to the present invention, a fixed initial system load operation can be simplified in the form of magnetic card input.
