You would then use the SYSMAN command IO CONFIGURE to configure these
devices. After you completed this step, the SHOW DEVICE/FULL command
would display the worldwide identifier of the tape.
IO LIST_WWID (Alpha and I64)
Applies only to tape devices on Fibre Channel. Lists all tape device WWIDs that are not yet configured on Fibre Channel.You can use the output of this command as input to the SYSMAN IO CREATE_WWID and SYSMAN IO REPLACE_WWID commands.
IO LIST_WWID
SYSMAN> IO LIST_WWID
%SYSMAN-I-OUTPUT, command execution on node ROCKY
On port _ROCKY$PGA0:, the following tape WWIDs are not yet configured:
Target 3, LUN 1, COMPAQ SuperDLT1
WWID=02000008:500E-09E0-0005-30D7
Target 3, LUN 3, COMPAQ SDX-500C
WWID=0C000008:0800-4606-C00D-473F
Target 4, LUN 1, COMPAQ SuperDLT1
WWID=02000008:500E-09E0-0005-30D7
Target 4, LUN 3, COMPAQ SDX-500C
WWID=0C000008:0800-4606-C00D-473F
|
In this example, each drive is listed twice because the tape bridge is dual-ported, with one FC port at target 3 and the other FC port at target 4.
On Alpha and I64 systems, loads an I/O driver.On VAX systems, use the SYSGEN command LOAD.
You must have CMKRNL and SYSLCK privileges to use the SYSMAN IO LOAD command.
Be very careful when issuing a SYSMAN IO LOAD command because the system does little error-checking. |
IO LOAD filespec
filespec
Specifies the file name of the driver to be loaded. This parameter is required.
/LOG=(ALL,DPT)
Controls whether SYSMAN displays information about drivers that have been loaded. The default value for the /LOG qualifier is /LOG=ALL. The driver prologue table (DPT) address is displayed when either /LOG=DPT or /LOG=ALL is specified.
The SYSMAN IO LOAD command loads an I/O driver. VAX system managers use the SYSGEN command LOAD. You must have CMKRNL and SYSLCK privileges to use the SYSMAN IO LOAD command.
SYSMAN> IO LOAD/LOG SYS$DKDRIVER
%SYSMAN-I-IOADDRESS, the DPT is located at address 80D5A000
|
This example loads device SYS$DKDRIVER and displays the address of the driver prologue table (DPT).
On Alpha and I64 systems, rebuilds device configuration tables in preparation for using the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command to reconfigure the system.You must have CMKRNL privilege to use the SYSMAN IO REBUILD command.
IO REBUILD
None.
/VERIFY
Causes SYSMAN to read and process the files SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT and SYS$SYSTEM:CONFIG.DAT, but not to apply the files to the I/O database. Messages will be displayed for any errors that are encountered. This command can be used by developers to test new changes to SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT without modifying the current system.
The SYSMAN IO REBUILD command rebuilds the system's device configuration tables by reading and parsing the SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT and SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$CONFIG.DAT files.To debug modifications to the SYS$SYSTEM:SYS$USER_CONFIG.DAT file, you can use the SYSMAN IO REBUILD and SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE commands to load drivers without having to reboot. Once you load a driver for an adapter, however, you cannot reload it without rebooting the system.
SYSMAN> IO REBUILD
SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE
|
The first command in this example rebuilds device configuration tables. The second command reads the device configuration tables and loads drivers for newly defined drivers.
This command allows a user to replace one tape drive behind a Network Storage Router (NSR) with another tape drive at the same Fibre Channel (FC) Logical Unit Number (LUN) location.This command updates all the necessary file and memory data structures with the WWID of the new tape drive. The name of the replacement drive will be the same as the name of the original drive.
This command is primarily intended to be used when a hardware problem occurs on a tape drive, and a replacement drive must installed in its place.
The command requires CMKRNL privilege. It applies only to FC tapes behind a Fibre Channel tape bridge such as an NSR or MDR (Modular Data Router).
For more information about Fibre Channel, see the Guidelines for OpenVMS Cluster Configurations.
IO REPLACE_WWID devnam_string/WWID=wwid_string
devnam_string
Specifies a tape device name.
/WWID=wwid_string
Specifies a string that comes directly from a SYSMAN IO LIST_WWID display. The use of this qualifier is appropriate only under the circumstances explained in the description below.
You can use the two parameters, devnam_string and wwid_string, with the REPLACE_WWID command to replace a broken tape device with a new device. The command automatically updates the data structures that record the new devnam-WWID correlation, and the device automatically begins to function correctly.This command is useful in two different cases:
- In one case, the drive might malfunction and need to be replaced immediately without rebooting the system. If this happens, the drive is physically replaced with a new drive, and the command SYSMAN IO REPLACE_WWID $2$MGAn is issued clusterwide. The /WWID qualifier is not appropriate in this case, because the new WWID is automatically detected using information stored in the device's data structures.
- In the other case, the drive might malfunction and not be replaced until after the system has been shut down or rebooted. The device name no longer appears in the SHOW DEVICE display because the device failed to configure during the reboot.
The configuration failure occurred either because the broken drive did not respond, or because the new drive has a different WWID from the one SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE expected at boot time. Therefore, in this situation, in which the device name is in SYS$DEVICES.DAT but not in the SHOW DEVICE display, use the /WWID qualifier to define the new devnam-WWID correlation.
Follow these steps clusterwide:
- Execute the SYSMAN IO LIST_WWID command to display the new WWID.
- Use the command SYSMAN IO REPLACE_WWID $2$MGAn/WWID=new_wwid to define the new correlation.
- Use the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command to configure the device.
When you use the SYSMAN IO LIST_WWID command, keep in mind that:
- You must set the replacement device to the same SCSI target ID as the original device.
- You must stop all activity on the device before issuing the SYSMAN IO REPLACE_WWID command.
- The command requires CMKRNL privilege and applies only to FC tapes behind an NSR or MDR.
SYSMAN> SET ENVIRONMENT/CLUSTER
SYSMAN> IO REPLACE_WWID $2$MGA3/WWID=02000008:500E-09E0-0005-30D7
SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE
|
In this example, the device named $2$MGA3 malfunctioned and was replaced while the system was down. Upon reboot, the drive did not get configured, because its new WWID did not match the WWID that OpenVMS expected. Therefore, the user redefines the devnam-WWID correlation and is then able to configure $2$MGA3 correctly. The specified WWID comes from the output of the SYSMAN IO LIST_WWID command.
On Alpha and I64 systems, the SYSMAN IO SCSI_PATH_VERIFY subcommand checks each SCSI and FC path in the system to determine whether the attached device has been changed. If a device change is detected, then the SCSI or FC path is disconnected in the IO database. This allows the path to be reconfigured on the new device, by using the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command.You must have CMKRNL privilege to use the SYSMAN IO SCSI_PATH_VERIFY command.
IO SCSI_PATH_VERIFY
None.
None.
You usually enter the SYSMAN IO SCSI_PATH_VERIFY command after performing an online reconfiguration of a SCSI or an FC interconnect. The command reads the device type and device identifier on each SCSI and FC path in the system. If the device does not match the data stored in the IO database, then the path is disconnected in the IO database. Following a SYSMAN IO SCSI_PATH_VERIFY command, you usually enter a SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command, which updates the IO database to match the new SCSI or FC configuration.
SYSMAN> IO SCSI_PATH_VERIFY
SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE
|
The first command in this example checks all SCSI paths and disconnects the ones that are no longer valid. The second command autoconfigures all devices that are physically attached to the system.
IO SET EXCLUDE (Alpha and I64)
On Alpha and I64 systems, sets the permanent exclusion list to be used when configuring devices automatically.
IO SET EXCLUDE = device_name
device_name
Specifies the device type to be excluded from automatic configuration. Use valid device names or mnemonics that indicate the devices to be included in the permanent exclusion list. You can specify wildcards.
None.
Sets the permanent exclusion list to be used when configuring devices.You can use this command to permanently specify device autoconfiguration to exclude Fibre Channel port driver devices (FG) and any SCSI port driver devices (PK) at each system boot. (To specify permanently the exclusion or inclusion of devices for the duration of a manual configuration command, use the /EXCLUDE or /SELECT qualifier with the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command.)
You cannot use the SYSMAN IO SET EXCLUDE command to exclude any of the following device types:
- SCSI class-driver devices (DK, MK, GK) whose names include a port allocation class or an HSZ allocation class
- Fibre Channel class-driver devices (PG, DG, GG)
This restriction also applies to SCSI devices on OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.1 systems, if the SCSI device names include a port allocation class.
SYSMAN> IO SET EXCLUDE=(DKC500,DKD*)
|
This example specifies that DKC500 and all DKD devices are not to be autoconfigured.
For additional examples that show how to specify device names, see the /SELECT qualifier.
On Alpha and I64 systems, sets the prefix list that is used to manufacture the IOGEN Configuration Building Module (ICBM) names.
IO SET PREFIX =icbm_prefix
icbm_prefix
Specifies ICBM prefixes. These prefixes are used by the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command to build ICBM image names.
None.
The SYSMAN IO SET PREFIX command sets the prefix list which is used to manufacture ICBM names.
SYSMAN> IO SET PREFIX=(SYS$,PSI$,VME_)
|
This example specifies the prefix names used by SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE to build the ICBM names. The prefixes are SYS$, PSI$, and VME_.
On Alpha and I64 systems, lists all the buses, node numbers, bus names, TR numbers, and base CSR addresses on the system. This display exists primarily for internal engineering support.On VAX systems, use the SYSGEN command SHOW/BUS.
None.
None.
The SYSMAN IO SHOW BUS command lists all the buses, node numbers, bus names, TR numbers, and base CSR addresses. This display exists primarily for internal engineering support. You must have CMKRNL privilege to use SYSMAN IO SHOW BUS.
SYSMAN> IO SHOW BUS
_Bus__________Node_TR#__Name____________Base CSR__________

This example is from a DEC 7000 Model 600. Displays vary among different Alpha and I64 systems.
The indentation levels are deliberate in this display. They indicate the hierarchy of the adapter control blocks in the system. The column titles in the display have the following meanings:
Column Titles Meaning Bus Identity of the bus Node Index into the associated bus array; the bus slot TR# Nexus number of the adapter to which the specified device is connected Name Name of the device Base CSR Base CSR address of the device
On Alpha and I64 systems, you can use the SDA command CLUE CONFIG to display additional information including hardware adapters and devices. This command is documented in the OpenVMS Alpha System Dump Analyzer Utility Manual.

Writing OpenVMS Alpha Device Drivers in C.
IO SHOW DEVICE (Alpha and I64)
On Alpha and I64 systems, displays information about device drivers loaded into the system, the devices connected to them, and their I/O databases. All addresses are in hexadecimal and are virtual.On VAX systems, use the SYSGEN command SHOW/DEVICE.
IO SHOW DEVICE
None.
None.
The SYSMAN IO SHOW DEVICE command displays information about the device drivers loaded into the system, the devices connected to them, and their I/O databases.The SYSMAN IO SHOW DEVICE command specifies that the following information be displayed about the specified device driver:
Driver Name of the driver Dev Name of each device connected to the driver DDB Address of the device's device data block CRB Address of the device's channel request block IDB Address of the device's interrupt dispatch block Unit Number of each unit on the device UCB Address of each unit's unit control block All addresses are in hexadecimal and are virtual.

Activates licenses registered in the LICENSE database.Requires CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and SYSPRV privileges.
Note
Except for the number of status messages returned, the following commands are functionally equivalent:
SYSMAN> LICENSE LOAD $ LICENSE LOADTo see all the status messages on remote nodes for the DCL command, you can use the following SYSMAN command:
SYSMAN> DO LICENSE LOAD
LICENSE LOAD product
product
Specifies the name of the product whose license you want to activate.
/DATABASE=filespec
Specifies the location of the LICENSE database. The default file specification is SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]LMF$LICENSE.LDB. Using the /DATABASE qualifier is not necessary if you use the default LICENSE database name and location./PRODUCER=string
Specifies the name of the company that owns the product for which you have a license. Use this qualifier only if the product is from a company other than HP.
You can use the LICENSE LOAD command to activate licenses on multiple systems and on nonlocal systems in the system management environment. The SYSMAN LICENSE commands are a subset of the License Management Facility (LMF) commands. For more information about the LMF, see the HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual.
SYSMAN> LICENSE LOAD FORTRAN
