1 – Characteristics
o auto load Default: True Value: True or false Specifies whether the device should try to load its microcode without management intervention. Autoloading would occur after initialization, a failure, or a dump. o device Physical device to which this device unit entity is related. The value of this characteristic is a copy of the name argument specified when this entity is created. o dump destination File specification to hold the contents of the device's microcode when a dump occurs. For Tru64 UNIX, the default value for the dump destination is /usr/var/xxx.dump where xxx is the device specification. For example: /usr/var/dsv.dump. o dump on error Default: False Value: True or false Whether a device should try to dump its microcode after a device failure. Set this characteristic only for those devices that support the dump operation. o load source Value: File specification File specification that contains the device's microcode. This is used during a load operation. For Tru64 UNIX, the default value is /usr/var/xxx.firmware, where xxx is the device specification. For example: /usr/var/dsv.firmware.
2 – Counters
o creation time Time at which this entity was created. o device failures Number of times the unit has failed. o failed dumps Number of times an attempt to dump the device's microcode has failed. o failed loads Number of times an attempt to load the device's microcode has failed. o forced dumps Number of times the dump command has been used to force the device to dump its microcode. o forced loads Number of times the load command has been used to load the device's microcode. o successful dumps Number of times the device has successfully dumped its microcode. o successful loads Number of times the device has successfully loaded its microcode.
3 – Identifier
o name Simple name assigned to the device unit when it is created.
4 – Status
o firmware identifier Implementation-specific string that identifies the firmware loaded into a device. o operational communication port (OpenVMS) Specifies which channels of a multiple-line device unit are determined to be working by the module self-test. Each name identifies a working device communication port. Channels that are not named are not operational. o state Current state of the communications device. disabled The device unit entity has been created, but an enable directive has not yet been issued. dump failed An attempt to dump the device's microcode has failed. This value appears only if the characteristic auto load is false. dumping An attempt to dump the device's microcode is in progress. load failed An attempt to load the device's microcode has failed. This value appears only if auto load is false. loading An attempt to load the device's microcode is in progress. running The device's microcode has been loaded and the device is ready to send and receive data. stopped This state can occur in one of the following circumstances: o The device entity unit has been enabled and auto load is false. o The device has been reinitialized by the system. o The device failed, a dump operation has completed (the characteristic auto dump is true, but the characteristic auto load is false). o uid Entity's unique identifier, which is generated when the entity is created.
