1 – DATABASE
Establishes the current startup database.
Format
STARTUP SET DATABASE database
1.1 – Parameter
database
Specifies the name of the target database, which is
STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED by default. The second database,
STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS, is available for viewing; however, VSI
recommends that you do not modify it.
1.2 – Qualifiers
None.
1.3 – Example
SYSMAN> STARTUP SET DATABASE STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
%SYSMAN-I-
NEWCOMPFIL, current component file is now STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE
%SYSMAN-I-COMPFIL, contents of component database on node LUCERN
Phase Mode File
----- ---- ---------------------------
LPBEGIN DIRECT VMS$LPBEGIN_070_STARTUP.COM
LPMAIN DIRECT FOR$LPMAIN_070_STARTUP.COM
The commands in this example establish the layered products
database as the default, so it can be displayed.
2 – OPTIONS
Controls logging and display of information for one or more nodes
in a cluster during startup.
Requires READ (R) and WRITE (W) access to the current system
parameter file on disk: SYS$SYSTEM:ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR (for Alpha),
and SYS$SYSTEM:IA64VMSSYS.PAR (for Integrity servers).
Format
STARTUP SET OPTIONS
2.1 – Qualifiers
2.1.1 /CHECKPOINTING
/CHECKPOINTING
/NOCHECKPOINTING
Displays informational messages describing the time and status of
each startup phase and component procedure.
The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that corresponds to
/OUTPUT=CHECKPOINTING is "C".
2.1.2 /OUTPUT
/OUTPUT=FILE,CONSOLE
Sends output generated by using the /VERIFY qualifier to a file
or to the system console. If you choose the FILE option, it
creates SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG.
The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that corresponds to
/OUTPUT=FILE is "D".
2.1.3 /VERIFY
/VERIFY=FULL,PARTIAL
/NOVERIFY
Displays startup procedures as they execute. This qualifier
defines the system parameter STARTUP_P2 to have the appropriate
value based on the options you choose. (/VERIFY with no value
following it is the equivalent of /VERIFY=full.)
/VERIFY options are in the following table:
Value Description
FULL Displays every line of DCL executed by startup component
procedures and by STARTUP.COM.
The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that
corresponds to this option is "V".
PARTIAL Displays every line of DCL executed by startup component
procedures, but does not display DCL executed by
STARTUP.COM.
The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that
corresponds to this option is "P".
CAUTION
All STARTUP_P2 parameter values modified by the SYSMAN
STARTUP OPTIONS will be overridden by the AUTOGEN command
procedure. To preserve any parameter modifications made with
SYSMAN, edit the SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT file, as explained
in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
2.2 – Description
The STARTUP SET OPTIONS command enables you to control logging
and checkpointing during startup. You can control the amount of
information logged (full or partial) and where it is displayed
(file or console). You can also choose checkpointing, which
displays informational messages about the time and status of
each phase during startup.
The default options are /NOCHECKPOINTING, /OUTPUT=CONSOLE, and
/NOVERIFY.
Because SYSMAN enables you to define the target environment, you
can perform startup logging on your local node, your own cluster,
and a subset of nodes on your cluster. See the SET ENVIRONMENT
command for more information.
2.3 – Example
SYSMAN> STARTUP SET OPTIONS/VERIFY=FULL/OUTPUT=FILE/CHECKPOINTING
This example requests startup logging with full verification,
output to SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG, and checkpointing.
The corresponding value for system parameter STARTUP_P2 is
"VDC".
