SYSMANHELP.HLB  —  IO
autoconfiguration to exclude Fibre Channel port driver devices (FG) and any SCSI port driver devices (PK) at each system boot. (To specify permanently the exclusion or inclusion of devices for the duration of a manual configuration command, use the /EXCLUDE or /SELECT qualifier with the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command.) You cannot use the SYSMAN IO SET EXCLUDE command to exclude any of the following device types: o SCSI class-driver devices (DK, MK, GK) whose names include a port allocation class or an HSZ allocation class o Fibre Channel class-driver devices (PG, DG, GG) This restriction also applies to SCSI devices on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.1 systems, if the SCSI device names include a port allocation class.

10.1.3  –  Examples

    1.SYSMAN> IO SET EXCLUDE=(DKC500,DKD*)

      This example specifies that DKC500 and all DKD devices are not
      to be autoconfigured.

      For additional examples that show how to specify device names,
      see the /SELECT qualifier available with the SYSMAN IO
      AUTOCONFIGURE command.

    2.SYSMAN> IO SET EXCLUDE=(" ")

      This example clears the exclusion list.

10.2  –  PREFIX

    This command is for use on Alpha and Integrity servers only.
    It sets the prefix list that is used to manufacture the IOGEN
    Configuration Building Module (ICBM) names.

    Format

      IO SET PREFIX  =icbm_prefix

10.2.1  –  Parameter

 icbm_prefix

    Specifies ICBM prefixes. These prefixes are used by the SYSMAN IO
    AUTOCONFIGURE command to build ICBM image names.

10.2.2  –  Description

    The SYSMAN IO SET PREFIX command sets the prefix list which is
    used to manufacture ICBM names.

10.2.3  –  Example

  SYSMAN> IO SET PREFIX=(SYS$,PSI$,VME_)

      This example specifies the prefix names used by SYSMAN IO
      AUTOCONFIGURE to build the ICBM names. The prefixes are SYS$,
      PSI$, and VME_.

11  –  SHOW

11.1  –  BUS

    This command is for use on Alpha and Integrity servers only. It
    lists all the buses, node numbers, bus names, TR numbers, and
    base CSR addresses on the system. This display exists primarily
    for internal engineering support.

    On VAX systems, use the SYSGEN command SHOW/BUS.

11.1.1  –  Description

    The SYSMAN IO SHOW BUS command lists all the buses, node numbers,
    bus names, TR numbers, and base CSR addresses. This display
    exists primarily for internal engineering support. You must have
    CMKRNL privilege to use SYSMAN IO SHOW BUS.

11.1.2  –  Example

  SYSMAN> IO SHOW BUS

      This example is from a DEC 7000 Model 600. Displays vary among
      different Alpha and Integrity servers.

      The indentation levels are deliberate in this display. They
      indicate the hierarchy of the adapter control blocks in the
      system. The column titles in the display have the following
      meanings:

      Column Titles   Meaning

      Bus             Identity of the bus
      Node            Index into the associated bus array; the bus
                      slot
      TR#             Nexus number of the adapter to which the
                      specified device is connected
      Name            Name of the device
      Base CSR        Base CSR address of the device

    On Alpha and Integrity servers, you can use the SDA command
    CLUE CONFIG to display additional information including hardware
    adapters and devices. This command is documented in the OpenVMS
    Alpha System Dump Analyzer Utility Manual.

    For more information about loading and configuing device drivers,
    see Writing OpenVMS Alpha Device Drivers in C.

11.2  –  DEVICE

    This command is for use on Alpha and Integrity servers only.
    It displays information about device drivers loaded into the
    system, the devices connected to them, and their I/O databases.
    All addresses are in hexadecimal and are virtual.

    On VAX systems, use the SYSGEN command SHOW/DEVICE.

    Format

      IO SHOW DEVICE

11.2.1  –  Description

    The SYSMAN IO SHOW DEVICE command displays information about the
    device drivers loaded into the system, the devices connected to
    them, and their I/O databases.

    The SYSMAN IO SHOW DEVICE command specifies that the following
    information be displayed about the specified device driver:

    Driver   Name of the driver
    Dev      Name of each device connected to the driver
    DDB      Address of the device's device data block
