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
1 – Qualifiers
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".
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$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG. The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that corresponds to /OUTPUT=FILE is "D".
1.3 /VERIFY
/VERIFY=FULL,PARTIAL /NOVERIFY Displays startup procedures as they execute. This qualifier defines the system parameter STARTUP_P2 to have the appropriate value based on the options you choose. (/VERIFY with no value following it is the equivalent of /VERIFY=full.) /VERIFY options are in the following table: Value Description FULL Displays every line of DCL executed by startup component procedures and by STARTUP.COM. The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that corresponds to this option is "V". PARTIAL Displays every line of DCL executed by startup component procedures, but does not display DCL executed by STARTUP.COM. The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that corresponds to this option is "P". CAUTION All STARTUP_P2 parameter values modified by the SYSMAN STARTUP OPTIONS will be overridden by the AUTOGEN command procedure. To preserve any parameter modifications made with SYSMAN, edit the SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT file, as explained in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.
2 – 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.
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".
