The 2015 LHC schedule tentatively allocates two months between the start of beam commissioning and the establishment of the first stable beams with a few nominal bunches at top energy. This phase will address the commissioning with beam of all key accelerator systems, taking into account the changes occurred in Long Shutodown 1 (LS1) and new commissioning requirements for the 2015 operational goals. In presence of uncertainties on the key machine and beam parameters, a set of critical measurements to be performed early on in the commissioning are identified in order to establish a validation plan for the machine configuration for the intensity ramp up. In this paper, the strategy for the initial commissioning until the first stable beams is reviewed.
