Step 7: Initialize the Secondary Consoles  



Once you have established the Galaxy variables, to initialize the secondary consoles, enter:
P00>>> LPINIT
The console displays the following:

P00>>>
This command must be entered from the primary Galaxy console. If the Galaxy partitions have been properly defined, and hardware resources have been properly configured, you should see that the primary CPU in each instance has started.

If one or more consoles fails to initialize, double-check your hardware installation, Galaxy partition definitions, and hardware assignments.
