Adding a Shelf

This procedure is used to add a shelf to the database using the ent-shlf command. The shelf may not already exists in the database. The control shelf (Shelf 1100) cannot be added to the database. The ent-shlf command uses these parameters.

:type – The shelf type. There is only one shelf type that can be added to the database, an extension shelf, shown by the value for this parameter as ext.

:loc – The shelf location

The examples in this procedure are used to add an extension shelf to frame 3 of the EAGLE.

1. Display the current shelf information using the rtrv-shlf command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 09:12:36 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   SHELF DISPLAY
   FRAME SHELF        TYPE
     1     1       CONTROL
     1     2       EXTENSION
     1     3       EXTENSION
     2     2       EXTENSION
   

2. Add the shelf using the ent-shlf command.

   For this example, the shelf to be added is the first shelf in frame 3. Enter this command.

   ent-shlf:loc=3100:type=ext

   When this command has successfully completed, this message should appear.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 09:12:36 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   ENT-SHLF: MASP A - COMPLTD
   

3. Verify the changes using the rtrv-shlf command.

   This is an example of the possible output.

   rlghncxa03w 06-10-01 09:12:36 GMT  EAGLE5 36.0.0
   SHELF DISPLAY
   FRAME SHELF        TYPE
     1     1       CONTROL
     1     2       EXTENSION
     1     3       EXTENSION
     2     2       EXTENSION
     3     1       EXTENSION
   

4. Back up the new changes using the chg-db:action=backup:dest=fixed command.

   These messages should appear, the active Maintenance and Administration Subsystem Processor (MASP) appears first.

   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on active MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on active MASP to fixed disk complete.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup starts on standby MASP.
   BACKUP (FIXED) : MASP A - Backup on standby MASP to fixed disk complete.
