(09MW29.14 or Earlier) GOC6 Load From Cold

Prerequisites

Overview

The following procedure describes and illustrates the system software loading process commonly referred to as the Load From Cold (LFC). It is important to follow the steps listed below in order.

1 Software Deliverable for GOC6 Consoles

Procedure

  1. CTT Operating System, Version 5.3.8
  2. CT Applications Software
  3. Class C Software DVD
  4. Class M Software DVD

2 Pre-LFC Checks and Information Gathering

Procedure

  1. Confirm that a current System State DVD-RAM Disk is on site. If unsure of status of the System State, execute System State Save Restore found in the Software Chapter of this manual.
    note:

    As a backup to the System State Disk, confirm that a GOC6 Console Information Sheetis available and is completely filled out with site-specific configuration and preference settings.

  2. Remove all media from MOD and USB Peripheral Towers before starting a Load from Cold.

3 Operating Software (OS) Load

Procedure

  1. Unplug the Hospital Network (HSP - J26) cable from rear Console bulkhead.
  2. Label the cable as HSP - J26 (if necessary) and set it aside during LFC.
  3. Remove the Operator Console front cover per the prescribed procedure Console Cover Removal and Installation.
  4. Insert the OS DVD into the tray on the Host Computer DVD-ROM Drive (Figure 1).

    Figure 1. Host Computer DVD Drive Location

  5. Shutdown and Power Cycle Operator Console:
    1. Using the toolchest, open a Terminal Window.

      1. Type: {ctuser@hostname}halt

      2. Wait for System Halted message to appear on the monitors.

        Figure 2. Monitor Display – System Halted

    2. Cycle Operator Console power (Turn off, then On). Wait 30 seconds for the Operator console to settle down before re-powering the console.
  6. As the Host Computer restarts, the boot process messages appear. After the booting process completes the boot: prompt appears.
  7. At the “boot:” prompt, type the following:

    Type: boot: GEHC2

    note:

    Special install script iGEHC2 for multi-language keyboard support is no longer required for GOC6 consoles. System Configuration (reconfig) script and the new Linux OS supports multi-language keyboards.

    Figure 3. Monitor Display – Boot Prompt

  8. After the OS is loaded on the Host Computer, Complete Window appears.

5 DIG Software Load

note:

If the GOC6 Operator Console is equipped with a VeRB Computer, this procedure can be expedited by performing Section 4.6 VeRB Software Load simultaneously with Section 4.5 DIG Software Load. After executing the following steps in Section 4.5, wait for 10 seconds and launch a second Terminal Window to execute steps in VeRB Software Load .

Procedure

  1. Open a Terminal Window, and log on at root:
    1. Type: {ctuser@hostname} su – ENTER.
    2. Type the root password and press ENTER.
  2. In the Terminal Window Type: [root@hostname] load_darc_subsystemENTER.

    A Shell Window will open and the DIG software will be configured and loaded
