Valid for Alpha and Integrity server systems only.

    Displays information about the system configuration and in some
    cases allows setting of configuration parameters.

    Format

      CONFIGURE  GALAXY [model.gcm]

1  –  Parameters

 GALAXY [model.gcm]

    Specifies the location and name of a Galaxy Configuration Model
    to load and display.

    If no model is provided and the system is running as an OpenVMS
    Galaxy, the current active configuration is displayed.

2  –  Description

    Invokes the Galaxy Configuration Utility (GCU) to monitor,
    display, and interact with an OpenVMS Galaxy system. The GCU
    requires DECwindows Motif V1.2-4 or greater and ALPHA OpenVMS
    V7.2 or greater.

    The optional model parameter specifies the location and name of
    a Galaxy Configuration Model to load and display. If no model
    is provided and the system is running as an OpenVMS Galaxy, the
    current active configuration is displayed.

    If the system is not running as an OpenVMS Galaxy, the GCU will
    assist the user in creating a single-instance OpenVMS Galaxy
    system.

    OpenVMS Galaxy Configuration Models are created with the Galaxy
    Configuration Utility. See the VSI OpenVMS Alpha Partitioning and
    Galaxy Guide and GCU online help for more information.

3  –  Qualifiers

3.1    /ENGAGE

    Causes the GCU to engage (load, validate, and activate) the
    specified OpenVMS Galaxy Configuration Model without displaying
    the graphical user interface. After validation, the specified
    model becomes the active system configuration.

    This qualifier allows system managers to restore the OpenVMS
    Galaxy system to a known configuration, regardless of what
    dynamic resource reassignments may have occurred since the
    system was booted. This command can be embedded in DCL command
    procedures to automate configuration operations.

3.2    /VIEW

    When used in conjunction with /ENGAGE and a model parameter,
    causes the GCU to load, validate, activate, and display the
    specified configuration model.

4  –  Examples

    1.$ CONFIGURE GALAXY

      Displays the GCU's graphical user interface. If the system is
      currently configured as an OpenVMS Galaxy, the active system
      configuration is displayed.

    2.$ CONFIGURE GALAXY model.GCM

      Displays the GCU's graphical user interface. The specified
      OpenVMS Galaxy Configuration Model is loaded and displayed, but
      does not become the active configuration until the user chooses
      to engage it.

    3.$ CONFIGURE GALAXY/ENGAGE model.GCM

      Invokes the GCU command line interface to engage the specified
      OpenVMS Galaxy Configuration Model without displaying the GCU's
      graphical user interface.

    4.$ CONFIGURE GALAXY/ENGAGE/VIEW model.GCM

      Invokes the GCU command line interface to engage the specified
      OpenVMS Galaxy Configuration Model and display the GCU's
      graphical user interface.
