1.6 Setting the DSSI ISE Parameters
Once installed and powered up, the DSSI ISE parameters must be set. This is
done through the use of the local program PARAMS. The following procedures
should be used when performing an ISE installation. If further information
on the use of PARAMS is desired, refer to the appropriate integrated storage
element user’s guide (see Appendix A) for a complete description of the
PARAMS utility.
1.6.1 Accessing PARAMS
PARAMS can be accessed in one of three ways, depending on the system you
are using.
•
Through OpenVMS, using the SET HOST command
•
From the console, using the SET HOST command
•
Through MDM, using the Device Resident Programs menu
1.6.1.1 Using OpenVMS
To access PARAMS on a system running OpenVMS Version 5.3 or higher, the
command is:
$ SET HOST/DUP/SERVER=MSCP$DUP/TASK=PARAMS nodename
where "nodename" is the node name of the ISE.
NOTE
To find the node name, enter SHOW DEVICES or SHOW CLUSTER at
the $ prompt.
To produce a file in your directory of what appears on the screen, append the
qualifier/log=filename.ext (where filename.ext is what you want to name the
file) to the above command.
Once you are in PARAMS, control is turned over to the utility. All interaction
is through the use of commands and responses.
To exit PARAMS, enter EXIT at the PARAMS> prompt, or press one of the
following key combinations:
CTRL/C
,
CTRL/Y
, or
CTRL/Z
.
