Volume Status: ODS-2, subject to mount verification, protected
subsystems enabled, file high-water marking, write-through
XQP caching enabled, write-through XFC caching enabled.
Volume is also mounted on MEAD.
This disk is a device that performs its I/O through the Fast
Path port PNA0. Fast Path is enabled for this disk, and its
I/O will be processed on the preferred CPU, CPU 1, which is
associated with its Fast Path port PNA0.
The /FULL qualifier also displays additional information about
Fast Path devices. A Fast Path device may be either a class
device or a port device. An example of a class device is an
HSC disk, and an example of a port device is the CI. For both
Fast Path class devices and ports, the display indicates that
Fast Path is enabled and lists the current CPU ID to which that
device is assigned. Additionally, for a Fast Path port, the
display indicates the port's user-established CPU preference
(if any).
The current preferred CPU and the User Preferred CPU can be
set by using the DCL command, SET DEVICE/PREFERRED_CPU, or by
issuing a $QIO.
For more information about using Fast Path features to improve
I/O performance, see the VSI OpenVMS I/O User's Reference
Manual.
8.$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL PNA0

Owner process "" Owner UIC [SYSTEM]
Owner process ID 00000000 Dev Prot S:RWPL,O:RWPL,G,W
Reference count 0 Default buffer size 0
Current preferred CPU Id 1 FastPath 1
The above display shows that port PNA0 is assigned to CPU 1 and
that Fast Path is enabled.
9.$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL PNA0
Device PNA0:, device type CIXCD, is online, shareable, error logging
is enabled.
Error count 0 Operations completed 0
Owner process "" Owner UIC [SYSTEM]
Owner process ID 00000000 Dev Prot S:RWPL,O:RWPL,G,W
Reference count 0 Default buffer size 0
Current preferred CPU Id 1 FastPath 1
User preferred CPU Id 2
This example shows a Fast Path assignment made by a user.
Normally, the User Preferred CPU ID matches the current
preferred CPU ID. The reason for the mismatch in the above
display is because CPU 2 was stopped. The port was previously
assigned to CPU 2. But when CPU 2 was stopped, the operating
system moved the port assignment from CPU 2 to CPU 1.
If CPU 2 were started, the operating system would assign the
device to the User Preferred CPU.
10$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL DSA0
Disk DSA0:, device type RAM Disk, is online, mounted, file-oriented
device, shareable, available to cluster, error logging is enabled,
device supports bitmaps (no bitmaps active).

Disk $252$MDA1:, device type RAM Disk, is online,
member of shadow set DSA0:.

This example shows that a write bitmap exists for a shadow set,
and that no write bitmap is active. If a shadow set supports
write bitmaps, "device supports bitmaps" is displayed along
with either "bitmaps active" or "no bitmaps active". If the
device does not support write bitmaps, no message pertaining to
write bitmaps is displayed.
11$ SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP DSA13
Device BitMap Size Percent Type of Master Active
Name ID (Bytes) Populated Bitmap Node
DSA13: 00010007 8248 0.01% Minimerge IPA Yes
This example shows a SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP display. In this
example, the bitmap is an HBMM bitmap that is active on node
IPA.
The /BITMAP qualifier is similar to the /REBUILD qualifier
in that neither can be combined with most other SHOW DEVICE
qualifiers. The SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP display can be brief or
full; brief is the default. Use the /FULL qualifier to view the
entire display.
If no bitmap is active (or the device is not mounted), no
bitmap file ID is displayed. The phrase "no bitmaps active"
is displayed.
12$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL EWA0

This example show information regarding the LAN device EIA4.
As this device is specific to a particular LAN protocol,
information regarding that protocol is displayed; this
information is not displayed for the template device in the
previous example, as there is no protocol associated with the
template service.
