HP OpenVMS systems documentation

Names the site-independent startup command procedure to be associated with a parameter file for subsequent bootstrap operations.

Format

SET/STARTUP file-spec

Parameter

file-spec

The file specification of a startup command procedure on the system disk (maximum of 31 characters). The initial site-independent startup command procedure (as named in the software distribution kit) is SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM.

Example

SYSGEN>  SET/STARTUP SYS$SYSTEM:XSTARTUP.COM
      

This command assigns SYS$SYSTEM:XSTARTUP.COM as the current site-independent startup command procedure.

On VAX systems, connects a processor to a multiport memory unit already initialized by this or another processor. The number and name of the specified multiport memory unit must be those of an initialized unit, or an error condition results.

Use of the SHARE command requires the CMKRNL privilege.

Format

SHARE MPMn MPM-name

Parameters

MPMn

Specifies the number on the front panel of the multiport memory unit being connected.

MPM-name

Specifies the name of the multiport memory unit as indicated in a previous SHARE/INITIALIZE command.

Qualifiers

/MAXCEFCLUSTERS=max-cef

Specifies the maximum number of common event flag clusters that the processor can create in the multiport memory unit. The default is no limit.

/MAXGBLSECTIONS=max-gbl

Specifies the maximum number of global sections that the processor can create in the multiport memory unit. The default is no limit.

/MAXMAILBOXES=max-mail

Specifies the maximum number of mailboxes the processor can create in the multiport memory unit. The default is no limit.

Example

SYSGEN>  SHARE MPM1 SHR_MEM_1
      

This command connects a multiport memory unit. Because no qualifiers are specified, defaults apply to all the parameters.

The unit with a 1 on the front panel must be initialized with the name SHR_MEM_1 for the command to work.

On VAX systems, initializes a multiport memory unit and connects it to the processor on which SYSGEN is running.

Use of the SHARE/INITIALIZE command requires the CMKRNL privilege.

Format

SHARE/INITIALIZE MPMn MPM-name

Parameters

MPMn

Specifies the number on the front panel of the multiport memory unit being connected.

MPM-name

Specifies the name by which the multiport memory unit is to be known to systems using it. The MPM-name is a 1 to 15 alphanumeric character string that may contain dollar signs ($) and underscores (_).

Qualifiers

/CEFCLUSTERS=cef

Specifies the total number of common event flag clusters permitted in the multiport memory unit. The cef value is an integer with a default of 32.

/GBLSECTIONS=gbl

Specifies the total number of global sections permitted in the multiport memory unit. The gbl value is an integer with a default of 32.

/MAILBOXES=mail

Specifies the total number of mailboxes permitted in the multiport memory unit. The mail value is an integer with a default of 32.

/MAXCEFCLUSTERS=max-cef

Specifies the maximum number of common event flag clusters that the processor can create in the multiport memory unit. The default is no limit.

/MAXGBLSECTIONS=max-gbl

Specifies the maximum number of global sections that the processor can create in the multiport memory unit. The default is no limit.

/MAXMAILBOXES=max-mail

Specifies the maximum number of mailboxes the processor can create in the multiport memory unit. The default is no limit.

/POOLBCOUNT=block-cnt

Specifies the number of blocks allocated to the multiport memory unit's dynamic pool. The block-cnt value is an integer with a default of 128.

/POOLBSIZE=block-size

Specifies the size of each block in the dynamic pool. The block-size value is an integer with a default of 128 bytes.

/PRQCOUNT=prq-cnt

Specifies the number of interprocessor request blocks (PRQs) allocated. The prq-cnt value is an integer with a default of 64.

Description

If the specified multiport memory unit is already initialized and connected to other active processors, the gbl, mail, cef, block-cnt, block-size, and prq-cnt parameter values are ignored, and the unit is simply connected to the processor.

Example

SYSGEN>  SHARE MPM1 SHR_MEM_1/INITIALIZE -
SYSGEN>  /GBLSECTIONS=128/MAILBOXES=64/CEFCLUSTERS=0
      

This command initializes a multiport memory unit with defaults on all but the gbl, mail, and cef parameters. In this example, assume that the number of the multiport memory unit as it appears on the front panel is 1, and the unit name is SHR_MEM_1.

Displays the values of system parameters in the SYSGEN work area, plus the default, minimum, and maximum values of the parameters and their units of measure.

Format

SHOW parameter-name

Parameter

parameter-name

Specifies the name of a system parameter. If you enter a period (.), it is interpreted as a request for the system parameter specified in the last SET parameter-name or SHOW parameter-name command.

Beginning in OpenVMS Version 8.2, specifies OBSOLETE in the Units column for any specified parameter that is obsolete.

Qualifiers

/ACP

Specifies that all ACP parameter values are displayed.

/ALL

Specifies that all parameter values other than SPECIAL parameter values are displayed.

/BI

Specifies that device addresses that are currently mapped in the I/O space for the VAXBI bus are displayed.

/CLUSTER

Specifies that all CLUSTER parameter values are displayed.

/DYNAMIC

Specifies that all DYNAMIC parameter values are displayed.

/GEN

Specifies that all GEN parameter values are displayed.

/HEX

Specifies that the values of parameters be displayed in hexadecimal representation. Specify the /HEX system parameter name or the parameter type. If you specify the /HEX qualifier with the /NAMES qualifier, /HEX is ignored.

/JOB

Specifies that all JOB parameter values are displayed.

/LGI

Specifies that all LGI parameter values are displayed.

/MAJOR

Specifies that all MAJOR parameter values are displayed.

/MULTIPROCESSING

Specifies that all MULTIPROCESSING parameters are displayed.

/NAMES

Specifies that the names of all parameters are displayed.

/OBSOLETE

Specifies that the names of all obsolete parameters are displayed.

/PQL

Specifies that all PQL parameter values are displayed.

/RMS

Specifies that all RMS parameter values are displayed.

/SCS

Specifies that all SCS parameter values are displayed.

/SPECIAL

Specifies that all parameter values reserved for HP use are displayed.

/STARTUP

Specifies that the name of the current site-independent startup command procedure is displayed.

/SYS

Specifies that all SYS parameter values are displayed.

/TTY

Specifies that all terminal parameter values are displayed.

/XMI[=BIindex]

Specifies that device addresses that are currently mapped in the I/O space for the XMI bus are displayed. The /XMI qualifier also displays node and nexus numbers and generic names of all processors, adapters, VAXBI adapters, memory controllers, and interconnection devices such as the NI.

Use of the SHOW/XMI=BIindex command requires the CMEXEC privilege.

Description

Parameter values are displayed in decimal unless the /HEX qualifier is specified. Note that ASCII values are displayed in ASCII by default.

When parameter names are abbreviated on a VAX platform, the first parameter matching the abbreviation is selected for display. No ambiguity checks are made. On an Alpha or I64 platform, all parameters whose names match the abbreviation are printed.

For example, a specification of SHOW GBL on a VAX system displays only the GBLSECTIONS parameter. To display the GBLPAGFIL parameter, you must specify SHOW GBLPAGF (to avoid further ambiguity with the GBLPAGES parameter). On an Alpha or I64 system, the same SHOW GBL command displays GBLSECTIONS, GBLPAGES, and GBLPAGFIL.

You can enter a period (.) to indicate that you want to work with the system parameter that was specified in the last SET parameter-name or SHOW parameter-name command.

Examples

SYSGEN> SHOW GBLSECTIONS
 
 



  

    

      

      
 
  
 
  
 
Parameter Name            Current   Default   Minimum   Maximum Unit  Dynamic 
GBLSECTIONS                   100        40        20        -1 Sections 
 
SYSGEN> SET . 110 
 
SYSGEN> SHOW . 
 
Parameter Name            Current   Default   Minimum   Maximum Unit  Dynamic 
GBLSECTIONS                   110        40        20        -1 Sections 




      

In this example, the user first displays the values of the GBLSECTIONS parameter and then refers to the parameter with a period to set its current value to 110. The next SHOW command also uses the period notation to obtain confirmation that the change occurred.

SYSGEN> SHOW/ACP
      

On a VAX system, the command in this example produces the following output:

Parameters in use: Active Parameter Name Current Default Minimum Maximum Unit Dynamic ACP_MULTIPLE 0 1 0 1 Boolean D ACP_SHARE 1 1 0 1 Boolean ACP_MAPCACHE 52 8 1 -1 Pages D ACP_HDRCACHE 138 128 2 -1 Pages D ACP_DIRCACHE 138 80 2 -1 Pages D ACP_DINDXCACHE 37 25 2 -1 Pages D ACP_WORKSET 0 0 0 -1 Pages D ACP_FIDCACHE 64 64 0 -1 File-Ids D ACP_EXTCACHE 64 64 0 -1 Extents D ACP_EXTLIMIT 300 300 0 1000 Percent/10 D ACP_QUOCACHE 130 64 0 -1 Users D ACP_SYSACC 4 8 0 -1 Directories D ACP_MAXREAD 32 32 1 64 Blocks D ACP_WINDOW 7 7 1 -1 Pointers D ACP_WRITEBACK 1 1 0 1 Boolean D ACP_DATACHECK 2 2 0 3 Bit-mask D ACP_BASEPRIO 8 8 4 31 Priority D ACP_SWAPFLGS 14 15 0 15 Bit-mask D ACP_XQP_RES 1 1 0 1 Boolean ACP_REBLDSYSD 0 1 0 1 Boolean

SYSGEN> SHOW/ACP/HEX
      

The command in this example produces a hexadecimal display of the values of the ACP system parameters, as follows:

On VAX systems, displays all the nexus numbers and generic names on the adapter.

Use of the SHOW/ADAPTER command requires the CMEXEC privilege.

Format

SHOW/ADAPTER

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

None.

Example

SYSGEN>  SHOW/ADAPTER
      

The following example is a sample display produced by the SYSGEN SHOW/ADAPTER command:

CPU Type: 11/780 Nexus Generic Name or Description 1 16K memory, non-interleaved 3 UB0 8 MB0 9 MB1

On VAX systems, displays all the nexus numbers and generic names on the adapter. On Alpha or I64 systems, use the SYSMAN command IO SHOW BUS.

Use of the SHOW/BUS command requires the CMEXEC privilege.

Format

SHOW/BUS

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

None.

On VAX systems, displays information about the device configuration.

Use of the SHOW/CONFIGURATION command requires the CMEXEC privilege.

Format

SHOW/CONFIGURATION

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

/ADAPTER=nexus

Specifies the number of MASSBUS or UNIBUS adapters to be displayed. The nexus value can be expressed as an integer or with one of the generic names listed by the SYSGEN command SHOW/ADAPTER.

/COMMAND_FILE

Specifies that SYSGEN formats all the device data into CONNECT/ADAPTER=adapter-spec commands and writes the commands in an output file you specify. In this way, you can completely reconfigure a system for UNIBUS devices without the use of the SYSGEN command AUTOCONFIGURE.

/OUTPUT=file-spec

Specifies the file specification of an optional output file. If you specify the /OUTPUT qualifier but omit the file type, the default is .LIS. However, if you specify the /COMMAND_FILE and /OUTPUT qualifiers together, the default file type for the output file is .COM.

Description

The SHOW/CONFIGURATION command shows devices by name, number of units, nexus number, and adapter type, as well as by control and status register (CSR) and vector addresses. You can specify an output file with the /OUTPUT qualifier.

Note that you can remove a device from the middle of the floating addresses without completely redoing jumpers to the CSR and vector addresses of the remaining devices by following these steps:

1. Modify your site-independent STARTUP.COM file to invoke the command file specified with the /OUTPUT qualifier instead of entering an AUTOCONFIGURE ALL command.
2. Enter the SHOW/CONFIGURATION/COMMAND_FILE/OUTPUT command to format and save the device data. If you must bring the system down for service and remove a board, SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM invokes your output file as a command procedure when the system reboots, and the system automatically configures UNIBUS devices and MASSBUS devices for you.

Remember that a new version of SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM is provided with each major release, so you would need to repeat any modifications you have made to SYS$SYSTEM:STARTUP.COM after you install the new version.

Note Although this technique can offer a convenient short-term solution, use AUTOCONFIGURE ALL when possible.

Examples

SYSGEN> SHOW/CONFIGURATION
      

This command displays the current system I/O database. The following example illustrates a typical display produced by this command on VS3100 and 6000-400 systems:

System CSR and Vectors on 23-OCT-2002 16:39:28.74 Name: OPA Units: 1 Nexus:0 (410) Name: PKB Units: 1 Nexus:0 (410) Name: TTA Units: 4 Nexus:0 (410) Name: PKA Units: 1 Nexus:0 (410) Name: ESA Units: 3 Nexus:0 (410) Name: GCA Units: 1 Nexus:0 (410) System CSR and Vectors on 23-OCT-2002 16:31:47.12 Name: PAA Units: 1 Nexus:48 (CI ) Name: PAB Units: 1 Nexus:64 (CI ) Name: PAC Units: 1 Nexus:64 (CI ) Name: PAD Units: 1 Nexus:176 (CI ) Name: FXA Units: 2 Nexus:192 (GXM) Name: ETA Units: 3 Nexus:213 (BVP) Name: PAE Units: 1 Nexus:228 (CI ) Name: PBA Units: 1 Nexus:237 (BVP) Name: TXA Units: 16 Nexus:211 (DMB)

SYSGEN> SHOW/CONFIGURATION/COMMAND_FILE/OUTPUT=CONFIG.COM
      

This command formats all device data into CONNECT/ADAPTER=adapter-spec commands and writes the commands to the command file CONFIG.COM. The following example is a typical command file produced by this command:
