Qualifiers

/HOST
      /HOST=host_name

   Tells the MSCP/TMSCP class driver that you want this host to
   be the preferred access path to the specified device. The class
   driver remembers this host name until it is changed by taking one
   of the following actions:

   o  Issuing another SET PREFERRED_PATH command specifying a
      different host

   o  Using the /NOHOST qualifier

   o  Rebooting the system

   Note that simply specifying a preferred path does not mean
   that it is immediately selected if the disk or tape device is
   currently using another path. Use the /FORCE qualifier along
   with the /HOST qualifier to force the preferred path to be used
   immediately.

   The host_name is the name of the host that will be the preferred
   path to the disk or tape device.


/FORCE
   Tells the class driver to initiate the path selection process
   immediately. If this qualifier is omitted when a new host name
   is specified, a switch from the current path to the new preferred
   path will not occur until some other event initiates the path
   selection process.


/NOHOST
   Clears any previously defined preferred path assignment. Restores
   usual OpenVMS path selection behavior.
