How to start Cafeina

Our Origin 300 is a pain to start up, here's what I did this time:

1. Turn on naxgul (for NFS home directories)
2. Turn power on at the back.
3. Connect over the serial console. Ssh to nazgul and run minicom over the serial line, cafeina's L2 controller runs 38400 N 8 1.
4. At the L2> prompt enter pwr u (if you don't have a L2> prompt type ^T)
5. Type ^D to get a console prompt, then enter, you should see a menu:

     System Maintenance Menu
     1) Start System
     2) Install System Software
     3) Run Diagnostics
     4) Recover System
     5) Enter Command Monitor
     Option?
   

6. Check to make sure all nodes are up (there are diagnostic messages before the menu)
7. type 1.
8. The routing is almost certainly broken on cafeina. Log in as root and run /etc/init.d/network stop; /etc/init.d/network start
9. log in as root, and start up /etc/init.d/pbs start, for some reason, it doesn't want to run automagically.
10. There is probably be needed to run releasehold, and diagnose -j to if there are problems with the pbs jobs.
