PREFACE
This manual contains information necessary
to
establish
and control operation
of
a CDC ® Network Operating
System
(NOS)
Version 1.4 and
is
intended for use
by
the
central
site
(system)
operator.
NOS
was developed
by
Control
Data
Corporation to provide network capabilities
for time-sharing and
transaction
processing, in addition
to
local
and
remote
batch processing on CDC CYBER 170
Series; CDC CYBER
70
Series Models
71,
72,
73, and 74;
computer
systems; and 6000 Series Computer Systems.
AUDIENCE
AND
ORGANIZATION
You
are
assumed to be familiar with the CYBER 170,
CYBER 70, or
6000
Series computer systems and with
operating
system concepts
in
general.
If
you have
limited
or
no
previous
NOS
experience, you
are
encouraged
to
read the following sections of this manual
first.
Section 1
Section 2
Section 3
Section 4
Appendix B
Appendix D
Introduc
ti
on
Deadstart:
This section describes
the process
by
which
NOS
is
made
operational
and ready to process
user jobs.
Operation Under
DSD
Control: This
section
provides information
concerning console operation and
the
DSD
commands
that
form the
primary
operator
interface
to
NOS.
Cautions
are
included with the
description of commands
that
should
be used with
extreme
care
or
at
the
direction
of
the si
te
analyst.
DSD
Displays: This
section
contains
a description and illustration of the
DSD
displays
that
may be brought to
the console screens to monitor
system operation.
Operator
Messages: This appendix
contains a
sorted
listing of the
status
and
error
messages
that
are
issued
by
NOS.
Peripheral Equipment Operation:
This appendix contains information
concerning the manual operation of
each
peripheral device
associated
with
NOS.
Since
the
job
requirements
of
the
system
operator
may
vary
from one installation to another, this manual should be
used in conjunction with established policies and procedures
provided
by
the installation.
60435600 L
Although all information contained in this manual is
considered
relevant
and
necessary
for you, a
substantial
amount of the information requires
that
you
are
experienced and thoroughly familiar with the
subject
and
its
application with
respect
to system operation.
For
example,
before
you can use the commands described in
section
5,
Operation Under
DIS
Control, an
installation
may
require
that
you have an overall understanding of
NOS
operation. Another installation may
specify
which
DIS
commands you
can
use, if any.
CONVENTIONS
Extended memory
(EM)
for
the
CYBER 170 Models 171,
172, 173, 174, 175, 720, 730, 750, and 760 is
extended
core
storage
(ECS).
EM
for the CYBER 170 Model 176 is
large
central
memory (LCM) or
large
central
memory
extended
(LCME).
ECS
and LCM/LCME
are
functionally equivalent,
except
as follows:
• LCM/LCME
cannot
link
mainframes
and does not
have a distributive
data
path
(DDP) capability.
• LCM/LCME
transfer
errors
initiate
an
error
exit,
not a half
exit.
Refer
to
the
COMPASS
Reference
Manual for
complete
information.
Model
176
supports
direct
LCM/LCME
transfer
COMPASS
instructions (octal codes 014 and 015).
Refer
to
the
COMPASS
Reference
Manual for
complete
information.
In
this manual,
the
acronym ECS
refers
to
all forms of
EM
on the CYBER 170 Series. However, in the
context
of a
multimainframe environment or DDP
access,
model
176
is
excluded.

INTRODUCTION
1
NOS
provides four types of job processing.
Local batch processing
The user
enters
jobs
at
the .central
site
and the
system processes them using only the
central
site
peripheral equipment
attached
to
the
computer.
Remote
batch processing
The user submits jobs from
remotely
located
200
User Terminals, 731-12/732-12/734
Remote
Batch
Terminals, or CDC CYBER 18-05
Remote
Batch
Terminals.
Deferred
batch processing
The user submits jobs
entered
from an
interactive
terminal
to the
batch
,queue for processing;
their
output
can be routed
to
user-specified peripheral
equipment or
remote
batch
locations.
Interactive
terminal
processing
The user
enters
jobs from an
interactive
network
terminal
or a time-sharing
terminal.
SYSTEM
CONFIGURATION
NOS
supports the following equipment. The specific
configuration may' vary,
but
consists of
elements
of the
following equipment.
Peripheral processors (PPs)
10, 14, 17, and
20
PP configurations of CYBER
, 170 Series computers and CYBER
70
Models
71,
72,
73,
and
74
computers; 7,
8,
9,
10, and
20
PP
configurations of 6000 Series computers.
Central
exchange jump/monitor exchange jump
(CEJ/MEJ)
All of the CYBER 170 Series computers and
CYBER
70
Models
71,
72,
73,
and
74
computers
are
equipped with CEJ/MEJ.
It
is
an option
on
the
6000 Series computers. This option improves job
performance and should be used if
it
is available.
Display console
Basic equipment for all CYBER 170 Series
computers includes a single
screen
display
console. Two single
screen-consoles
are
available
optionally~
CYBER
70
Models
71,
72,
73, and
74
computers and 6000 Series computers use the 6612
dual screen display console.
60435600 K
Mass
storage
A minimum of
60
million
characters
of mass
storage
on any of the following devices.
Extended core
storage
(ECS)
844 Disk Storage Subsystem
885
Disk Storage Subsystem
A
dedicated
permanent
file device is
recommended in addition
to
system
mass
storage.
Peripheral equipment
Any of
several
combinations of the following
peripheral equipment.
580
Line
Printers
405
Card
Reader
415
Card
Punch
667, 669, 677, and 679 Magnetic Tape Units
6671 Multiplexers for communication with
200
User Terminals and 731-12/732-12/734
Remote
Batch Terminals
6671 or 6676 Multiplexers for communication
with
interactive
terminals
255x Network Processing
Unit
Distributive
data
path
(DDP)
The DDP option enables PPs to read and
write
onto
ECS
directly
rather
than use the CPU
coupler.
OPERATOR/SYSTEM
COMMUNICATION
Both
NOS
and the programs running under
NOS
use
the
display
screen
to bring information to your
attention.
You
can respond
to
or
instruct
the
operating
system by
entering
information via
the
console keyboard.
Two
NOS
routines,
DSD
and
DIS,
provide
the
interface
between
the
console hardware and
other
system
software.
They maintain a
current
display of system or job
status
and
process commands you type
at
the
keyboard.
DSD
is the
system display routine; information
pertaining
to
all jobs
appears
on
the
screen.
DIS
is the job display routine; the
screen
shows
data
from a single job only.
DSD
has control
of
the console until you
initiate
DIS.
1-1

At
all times
DSD
occupies PP1, one of the 7
to
20
peripheral processor units in the system.
PPO
always
contains the system monitor routine
MTR
which oversees
system
activities.
DIS
resides in a PP assigned
by
the
system
at
the
time
it
is called.
Under
DSD,
the normal operating mode, you can
communicate with the system or any
of
the jobs under
system control. Once a job begins execution, however, you
can only respond to job requests for equipment assignment
or other actions, change priority or field length, or
stop
execution permanently or temporarily.
In
contrast,
DIS
operating mode provides more control of
job execution.
You
must advance each control
statement
in the job. Since you can add control
statement
instructions from the keyboard, the job need not execute
exactly
as
it
entered
the system. Commands to
DIS
include
those
that
allow changes in
register
contents shown in the
exchange package,
as
well as those
that
control such
items
as field length or
time
limit.
You can use the
DIS
capability for entering control
statements
to perform utility tasks
or
dump permanent
files.
DIS
is
used most often
by
system analysts. Section 5
details
procedures for using
DIS.
OPERATING
THE
KEYBOARD
Figure 1-1 shows the keyboard
on
a CYBER
170
Series
console. The PRESENTATION CONTROL switch,
located
to
the right of the spacebar, allows selection of a
left
screen display only, a right screen display only, or both
left
and right screen displays of reduced size on a split screen.
When
in the LEFT position, only those displays
referred
to
in the following sections as
left
screen displays appear.
Only those
referred
to
as right screen· displays appear when
the switch is in the RIGHT position. A split screen showing
both the
left
and right displays appears when the switch is
in the middle or MAINTENANCE position.
If
a 6612 dual
screen display console is used, the requested displays
appear simultaneously
on
the
left
and right screens,
respectively; there
is
no
PRESENTATION CONTROL
switch
on
the
k~yboard.
Each keyboard
entry
to
DSD
is a single line usually ending
with a period.
As
you
enter
characters
from the console,
the system displays the accumulated
entry
on the lower
left
portion of the
left
display screen.
When
you press the
carriage
return
(CR) key, a command
is
examined for
legality. If
acceptable,
the system processes the command
and clears the keyboard entry.
If
the command is not
acceptable,
an error message appears above the entry.
Then press
either
the
erase
key (Ieft blank key) which
clears both the command
entered
and the
error
message, or
the backspace
(BKSP)
key which
deletes
only the
last
charcter
displayed. Use the
BKSP
key
to
delete
the
entry
to
the position of the
error
and
enter
the
correction.
You can use the keyboard
to
initiate
and control equipment
assigned and job progress.
DSD
processes keyboard
entry
of commands as follows: as you type
each
character
at
the
console,
DSD
checks the accumulated
entry
for a match
against the
table
of possible commands. When
DSD
has
received enough
characters
to
recognize the command,
it
automatically
fills in the remaining portion of the
command.
In
general,
DSD
fills in the
rest
of the command
after
three
to
five
characters
have been
entered.
If
the
character
entered
is not within the legal range, or not
recognized as
part
of a legal command,
it
is
rejected
and
not displayed.
Example:
To
request
that
the
error
log dayfile be displayed
on
the
left
console screen, the appropriate
DSD
command
is
A,
ERROR
LOG.
Begin
by
typing
A.
DSD
checks
this input but cannot recognize the command since
eight
other
commands also begin with
the
letter
A.
Then
enter
the comma (,). Because four
other
commands also begin with
these
characters,
DSD
still
cannot recognize the command. However, when you
enter
E,
the command becomes unique and
DSD
fills in
the·
remainder of the
entry
on
the display (RROR
LOG.). If you
do
not wait for
DSD
to complete the
command,
but
continue
to
type in the remaining
characters
yourself, those
characters
are
ignored.

DEADSTART 2
Deadstart
is
the process
that
makes the system oper-
ational
and ready
to
process jobs. System
deadstart
requires a
certain
amount
of
your intervention.
This manual assumes
that
a
deadstart
file exists and is
configured to
meet
site
requirements. The
deadstart
file is
on
a
reel
of magnetic
tape
or a disk pack and contains the
programs necessary to establish the operating system and
its
products (such as BASIC, FORTRAN, COMPASS, and so
forth)
on
the system equipment. The
same
deadstart
file
can be used for any supported equipment configuration.
In
general, the procedure you use most
often to
deadstart
is
warmstart.
Warmstart from mass
storage
or a 667/669
magnetic
tape
unit
is
possible
after
the disk
controller
or
tape
controller to be used
is
loaded with the proper
controlware and the controlware
is
functioning.
Warmstart
is always possible from 677/679
tape
units.
There
are
three
preliminary procedures
that
might be
required before performing
warmstart.
1.
Coldstart
2.
Loads the
tape
and/or disk
controlware
to
their
respective
controllers.
Loading CTI module
to
disk
Loads the common
testing
and initialization (CTI)
module to disk. Doing this procedure enables you
to
perform
warmstart
from mass
storage
and to
run
the
off-line maintenance
system.
3.
Loading
DDS
module
to
disk
Loads the
deadstart
diagnostic sequencer
(DDS)
module to disk. Doing this procedure enables you
to run the
DDS
tests
at
deadstart
time.
If
coldstart
is
required, you must
do
it
before any
other
procedure. Loading the CTI module and the
DDS
module to
disk
are
optional procedures which each installation may
decide to perform in order to enable the
features
they
provide.
I NOTE I
A
ttempts
to perform
deadstart
from mass
storage
could be unsuccessful in
configurations with shared access to
controllers and drives. Conflicts can
arise
in both single and multiple
mainframe
configurations.
In
a multimainframe
configuration, if another mainframe has
reserved the controller or drive,
deadstart
delays momentarily until the
reservation
is released.
In
a single
mainframe
configuration, if
another
channel has
reserved the drive,
deadstart
will be
unsuccessful.
In
this case,
set
the
deadstart
panel for the
other
channel.
60435600 L
The following sUbsections explain
these
procedures in more
detail. If the procedures
are
not required, skip
to
the
subsection
entitled
Warmstart.
COLDSTART
The
coldstart
procedures outlined
here
load the
tape
and
disk controllers with
controlware.
The
tape
controlware
can
be
loaded from a
card
reader
or a
tape
unit depending
on the type
of
controller.
The
7021
tape
controller
for a
667
or 669
tape
unit
requires
controlware loaded from a
card
reader.
The 7152
tape
controller requires
controlware
loaded from
either
a
card
reader
or a
tape
uni
t.
The 7054 and 7154 disk controllers require controlware
loaded from a
card
reader.
The
controlware
for a 7152 disk
controller and
the
7155 disk
controller
(844-4x and
885
disk
drives) can be loaded from
either
a
card
reader
or a disk
unit.
The following paragraphs
summarize
the
procedures needed
to
perform
coldstart.
You can use
the
appropriate
summary as a checklist during
deadstart.
Detailed
descriptions of all procedures in the
deadstart
process
are
provided throughout
the
remainder
of this
section.
This manual assumes
that
power is applied on all required
equipment and
that
the equipment is functioning properly.
If
at
any
time
the system loses power or the equipment
fails, consult the
site
analyst
or
customer
engineer.
COLDSTART
OF
CONTROLLERS
FOR
667
OR
669
TAPE
UNITS
Coldstart
is necessary when
deadstarting
from
667
or
6691
magnetic
tape
units
if
the
controlware
has not
yet
been
loaded
to
the
controller.
The
coldstart
procedure contains
a special program
that
reads
the
tape
controller
controlware, loads
it
to
the
controller,
and then loads the
deadstart
tape.
The following procedure,
Coldstart
7021/7152 Tape
Controller from
Card
Reader,
can
be used to load
either
.the
7021
or the 7152
controller.
The procedure
coldstart
from tape unit can be used
to
load only
the
7152
controller.
Use the
warmstart
procedure once
the
controlware
has
been loaded and is functioning properly. Following
coldstart
from a
card
reader,
the
system loads the
deadstart
tape
automatically,
and
warmstart
is used for
subsequent
deadstarts
only. However, following
coldstart
from a
tape
unit, a
warmstart
must be
performed
to
load
the system
deadstart
tape.
It
is advisable
to
reset
the
deadstart
panel
(refer
to
Setting
the
Deadstart
Panel) for a
warmstart
immediately
after
a
coldstart
if the
controlware
has been loaded successfully.
After
initial loading
of
the
controlware,
there
is
no
reason
to
p~rform
a
coldstart
again if the
tape
subsystem is
operating
correctly.
