PANOPOLL

   Disables CI and DSSI polling for ports if set to 1. (The default
   is 0.) When PANOPOLL is set, a computer does not discover that
   another computer has shut down or powered down promptly and does
   not discover a new computer that has booted. This parameter is
   useful when you want to bring up a computer detached from the
   rest of the cluster for checkout purposes.

   PANOPOLL is functionally equivalent to uncabling the system from
   the DSSI or star coupler. This parameter does not affect OpenVMS
   Cluster communications by LAN.

   The default value of 0 is the normal setting and is required
   if you are booting from an HSC controller or if your system is
   joining an OpenVMS Cluster. This parameter is ignored if no CI or
   DSSI devices are configured on your system.

   PANOPOLL is a DYNAMIC parameter.
