This command starts the LASTport/Disk server and sets various server and cache characteristics.Usually this command is executed by SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.COM using data from SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT. HP strongly recommends that you make all modifications in the SYS$STARTUP:ESS$LAD_STARTUP.DAT file.
You can use the START SERVER command interactively to use its qualifiers to change server settings as long as no services are currently defined.
START SERVER
/BUFFER_SIZE=n
The InfoServer block cache is structured as an array of fixed-size buffers (also called buckets.) The /BUFFER_SIZE qualifier determines the size of each bucket. (The /CACHE qualifier determines the number of buckets.)The numeric value of this parameter is an integer between 3 and 8, inclusive, representing the bucket size in 512-byte blocks as follows:
3 - 8 blocks (default) 4 - 16 blocks 5 - 32 blocks 6 - 64 blocks 7 - 128 blocks 8 - 256 blocksBucket sizes that are larger than 32 blocks are not appropriate for most users. The OpenVMS client segments I/O requests that are larger than 31 blocks into 31-block chunks, and the default bucket readahead behavior might result in unnecessary I/O activity to the disk.
/CACHE = number-of-buckets (default = 512)
The InfoServer block cache is structured as an array of fixed-size buffers (also called buckets. The /CACHE qualifier determines the number of buckets in the cache. (The /BUFFER_SIZE qualifier determines the size of each bucket.)Numbers larger than 16384 can adversely affect performance. Consider increasing the /BUFFER_SIZE qualifier to reach the desired cache size.
/MAXIMUM_SERVICES = maxservice (default = 256)
Sets the maximum service count for the server. This is the maximum number of services that can be defined at one time. Each service descriptor consumes nonpaged pool; however, unused service slots consume only 4 bytes each.The maximum value is 1024.
/WRITE_QUOTA = n (default = 0)
Number of simultaneous synchronous writes permitted within the server. The default of zero means that all write operations are performed synchronously.

The first command in this example displays the current information about the server. The second command starts the server and increases the maximum number of services for the server. The third command displays the new information about the server, showing the increased number of maximum services.
This chapter describes significant new features of OpenVMS operating
system associated products. For a listing and directory information
about the OpenVMS associated products, refer to the Read Before
Installing letter appropriate for your operating system.
7.1 Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS
Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS allows you to run the NetBeans IDE on your desktop system and develop applications on a remote OpenVMS Alpha or OpenVMS I64 system.
Distributed NetBeans Version 1.1 contains all of the functionality provided in NetBeans for OpenVMS plug-in modules: C/C++, COBOL, FORTRAN, and PASCAL language support, and MMS, BASH, DCL, CMS, and EDT keypad support. Distributed NetBeans supports access to your files and CMS libraries (including CMS groups) using a built-in FTP filesystem in addition to Samba for OpenVMS and Advanced Server.
For additional information about Distributed NetBeans for OpenVMS and to download the latest kits and documentation, see the following Web site:

The OpenVMS Version 8.3 documentation contains fifteen revised manuals and four new release documents:
OpenVMS documentation is provided, in the following ways:
The following sections describe each format in which OpenVMS
documentation is provided and specifies the titles that are available
in that format.
9.1 Printed Documentation
Some printed documentation comes with your OpenVMS Media Kit. All other printed manuals are orderable in kits. This section describes the OpenVMS printed documentation offerings, which are categorized as follows:
The OpenVMS Media Kit, for both OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS for Integrity servers systems, contains the documents you need to get started with the latest version of the OpenVMS operating system.
Table 9-1 lists the books included in the OpenVMS media kit. The books you receive are determined by whether you are a new or a service customer. New customers receive all books; service customers receive only new books and books that have been updated since the last release.
The HP OpenVMS License Management Utility Manual, Guide to HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 Media, and HP OpenVMS Version 8.3 Upgrade and Installation Manual are provided only in the OpenVMS Media kit and, therefore, are not part of the OpenVMS Full Documentation set (described in Section 9.1.2). |
