Sets device management priority parameter. Format SET LAN_DEVICE landevicename
1 – Parameter
landevicename[...,] Includes specific LAN devices, which you can use wildcards to specify. Use the /EXCLUDE qualifier to exclude LAN devices. Use the SHOW LAN_DEVICE command to display device names.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /EXCLUDE
/EXCLUDE=(landevicename1[,...]) Excludes one or more specific LAN devices, which you can use wildcards to specify.
2.2 /PRIORITY
/PRIORITY=n Sets the management priority value for the selected devices. n can be a value between -128 and +127. Suggested values are: o 2 to cause devices to be preferred o -2 to exclude devices NOTE Starting with OpenVMS Version 7.3-2, a channel whose priority is -128 is not used for cluster communications. The priority of a channel is the sum of the management priority assigned to the local LAN device and the channel itself. Therefore, you can assign any combination of channel and LAN device management priority values to achieve a total of -128. CAUTION If you set the priority of all devices to -128, you totally disable use of the LAN for cluster communication. This can cause the system to CLUEXIT.
3 – Example
SCACP> SET LAN_DEVICE/PRIORITY=3 EWA The command in this example sets the management priority for device EWA to 3.
