Chapter 8. The VM/370 Starter System Introduction The Starter System Progra. (DMKSSP) redefines the real configuration according
to the operator's specifications.
the DMKSAV .odule reads a copy of the Normally, VM/370 loaded fro. disk CP nucleus into real storage and then calls DMKCPI to perfor. the initialization tasks
(such as initializing storage, mounting devicEs, and so on). However, during system generation, the VM/370 starter system is loaded from the starter syste.
tape. When VM/310 is loaded fro. the
starter system tape, the DMKSAV .odule
reads a copy of the starter system nucleus
into real storage and calls D!KSSP to give the operator the opportunity to redefine
the devices necessary to continue with syste. generation. When D!KSSP is through
with its processing. it calls D!KCPI to
continue the initialization process. DMKSSP is an interactive program. The
operator must signal attention to define a
console at an address other than 009 or 011. Then, the operator responds to
questions displayed at the terminal to
redefine the printer, punch, reader, tape
and disk devices. Chapter 8: The VM/370 Starter System 163
Method of Operation
This section describes those functions that
are perfor.ed by the DftKSSP progra.. There
is only one .ethod of operation diagra. and
that is Diagra. 8-1.
