SYSMANHELP.HLB  —  STARTUP  SET

1  –  DATABASE

    Establishes the current startup database.

    Format

      STARTUP SET DATABASE  database

1.1  –  Parameter

 database

    Specifies the name of the target database, which is
    STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED by default. The second database,
    STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS, is available for viewing; however, VSI
    recommends that you do not modify it.

1.2  –  Qualifiers

    None.

1.3  –  Example

  SYSMAN> STARTUP SET DATABASE STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
  %SYSMAN-I-
 NEWCOMPFIL, current component file is now STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
  SYSMAN> STARTUP SHOW FILE
  %SYSMAN-I-COMPFIL, contents of component database on node LUCERN
  Phase    Mode    File
  -----    ----    ---------------------------
  LPBEGIN  DIRECT  VMS$LPBEGIN_070_STARTUP.COM
  LPMAIN   DIRECT  FOR$LPMAIN_070_STARTUP.COM

      The commands in this example establish the layered products
      database as the default, so it can be displayed.

2  –  OPTIONS

    Controls logging and display of information for one or more nodes
    in a cluster during startup.

    Requires READ (R) and WRITE (W) access to the current system
    parameter file on disk: SYS$SYSTEM:ALPHAVMSSYS.PAR (for Alpha),
    and SYS$SYSTEM:IA64VMSSYS.PAR (for Integrity servers).

    Format

      STARTUP SET OPTIONS

2.1  –  Qualifiers

2.1.1    /CHECKPOINTING

       /CHECKPOINTING
       /NOCHECKPOINTING

    Displays informational messages describing the time and status of
    each startup phase and component procedure.

    The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that corresponds to
    /OUTPUT=CHECKPOINTING is "C".

2.1.2    /OUTPUT

       /OUTPUT=FILE,CONSOLE

    Sends output generated by using the /VERIFY qualifier to a file
    or to the system console. If you choose the FILE option, it
    creates SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG.

    The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that corresponds to
    /OUTPUT=FILE is "D".

2.1.3    /VERIFY

       /VERIFY=FULL,PARTIAL
       /NOVERIFY

    Displays startup procedures as they execute. This qualifier
    defines the system parameter STARTUP_P2 to have the appropriate
    value based on the options you choose. (/VERIFY with no value
    following it is the equivalent of /VERIFY=full.)

    /VERIFY options are in the following table:

    Value   Description

    FULL    Displays every line of DCL executed by startup component
            procedures and by STARTUP.COM.

            The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that
            corresponds to this option is "V".
    PARTIAL Displays every line of DCL executed by startup component
            procedures, but does not display DCL executed by
            STARTUP.COM.

            The value of the system parameter STARTUP_P2 that
            corresponds to this option is "P".

                                 CAUTION

       All STARTUP_P2 parameter values modified by the SYSMAN
       STARTUP OPTIONS will be overridden by the AUTOGEN command
       procedure. To preserve any parameter modifications made with
       SYSMAN, edit the SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT file, as explained
       in the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

2.2  –  Description

    The STARTUP SET OPTIONS command enables you to control logging
    and checkpointing during startup. You can control the amount of
    information logged (full or partial) and where it is displayed
    (file or console). You can also choose checkpointing, which
    displays informational messages about the time and status of
    each phase during startup.

    The default options are /NOCHECKPOINTING, /OUTPUT=CONSOLE, and
    /NOVERIFY.

    Because SYSMAN enables you to define the target environment, you
    can perform startup logging on your local node, your own cluster,
    and a subset of nodes on your cluster. See the SET ENVIRONMENT
    command for more information.

2.3  –  Example

  SYSMAN> STARTUP SET OPTIONS/VERIFY=FULL/OUTPUT=FILE/CHECKPOINTING

      This example requests startup logging with full verification,
      output to SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG, and checkpointing.
      The corresponding value for system parameter STARTUP_P2 is
      "VDC".
