GETDATA

   The GETDATA phase collects the following information required for
   AUTOGEN calculations and places it in the file PARAMS.DAT:

   o  Hardware configuration data

   o  VSI-supplied data from CLU$PARAMS.DAT

   o  Feedback from AGEN$FEEDBACK.DAT (if run in feedback mode)

   o  User-supplied data from MODPARAMS.DAT

   The GETDATA phase also attempts to configure devices on the
   system, by executing the following procedure and command:

   o  The command procedure SYS$MANAGER:SYCONFIG.COM. (For more
      information about this procedure, refer to the chapter on
      managing devices in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.)

   o  The SYSGEN command AUTOCONFIGURE ALL (unless the symbol
      STARTUP$AUTOCONFIGURE_ALL is set to 0 in SYCONFIG.COM).

   The GETDATA phase is valid as a start phase and an end phase.
   GETDATA requires the SYSPRV and CMKRNL privileges.
