InfoServer

   ESS$INFOSERVER is the user interface for the LASTport/Disk
   server implemented as an application on OpenVMS. It is similar
   in behavior to the hardware InfoServer product although not
   identical to it.

   You can use the InfoServer utility commands to do the following:

   o  Create and delete services for virtual disk devices on a local
      area network

   o  Save a list of active InfoServer services

   o  Modify the attributes of existing services

   o  Display information about the server and the nodes connected
      to services on the server

   o  Display service-specific information about one or more
      services

   o  Start the LASTport/disk server and set various server and
      cache characteristics

   Required Privileges:

   The InfoServer utility requires SYSPRV and OPER to run.  In
   addition, LOG_IO is required to create or delete a service.

   To run the Infoserver, you must enter the following command:

   $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:ESS$INFOSERVER

   The system then displays the following prompt:

   InfoServer>

   If your system does not display the InfoServer prompt but
   displays an error message instead, ask your system manager to
   start the InfoServer server.

   Another way to begin to use the InfoServer is to define it as a
   foreign command. This method is explained in the Usage_Summary
   subtopic.

   Following the Infoserver prompt, you can enter any InfoServer
   command; for example:

   InfoServer> SHOW SERVER

   You can also enter HELP to obtain help on InfoServer commands
   within the utility:

   InfoServer> HELP SHOW SERVER
