Types of system initialization

System initialization can take place in a convenient or flexible way. The FAST and AUTOMATIC modes are available for a convenient system start, and the DIALOG mode for a flexible system start.

The save file has the version-independent name SYS.NSI.SAVEREP. Except in the case of private disks, it is created by SIR when an IPL disk is set up.

For information on the file names for the parameter file see chapter “Parameter service”.
