CPU-Related DCL Commands  



The tables on this and the next few pages describe DCL commands that are used for hot swap or hot add of CPUs.

Table 1   CPU-Related DCL Commands
Command Qualifier Description
SET CPU
/[NO]AUTO_START
Sets or clears the instance-specific autostart flag for the specified CPUs.

/[NO]FAILOVER
Defines or removes any instance-specific failover relationship for the specified CPUs.

/MIGRATE
Transfers ownership of the CPU from the current instance to another soft partition.

/POWER
Turns the power on or off in one or more CPU slots. Valid options are ON and OFF.

/REFRESH
Examines and updates the OpenVMS context for the specified CPU or CPUs, using the hardware configuration tree.

/OVERRIDE_CHECKS
Bypasses the series of checks that determine whether the specified processor is eligible for removal if the SET CPU command is being used to remove the CPU from the active set.

/START
Initiates a request for the specified CPU to join the OpenVMS active set if it is not already there.
SHOW CPU
/ACTIVE_SET
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that are members of the system's active set.

/CONFIGURE_SET
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that are members of the system's configure set -- those that are actively owned and controlled by the current instance.

/POTENTIAL_SET
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that are members of the system's potential set -- those CPUs in the hard partition that meet the current instance's requirements to join its active set. Inclusion in this set does not imply that the CPU is (or ever will be) owned by the current instance. The potential set only describes those physically existing CPUs that currently meet the instance-specific hardware and software compatibility constraints, should they ever become available.

/STANDBY_SET
Selects as the subject of the display only those processors that are members of the system's standby set -- those CPUs in the hard partition that are not currently owned by soft partitions and may be available for ownership by the current instance.

/SYSTEM
Displays platform-specific hardware information relating to the current instance.
START/CPU
/POWER[=ON]
Powers on the CPU prior to bringing the CPU into the active set.
STOP/CPU
/MIGRATE
Transfers ownership of the CPU from the current instance to another soft partition.

/POWER=OFF
Powers down the CPU after it is removed from the active set.

Table 2   NUMA/RAD-Related DCL Commands
Command Description
INITIALIZE/RAD=n
Specifies the RAD number on which to run batch jobs assigned to the queue.
SET ENTRY/RAD=n
Specifies the RAD number on which the submitted batch job is to execute.
SET PROCESS/RAD=HOME=n
Changes the home RAD of a process.
SET QUEUE/RAD=n
Specifies the RAD number on which to run batch jobs assigned to the queue.
SHOW PROCESS/RAD
Displays the home RAD.
START QUEUE/RAD=n
Specifies the RAD number on which to run batch jobs assigned to the queue.
SUBMIT/RAD=n
Specifies the RAD number on which the submitted batch job is to execute.

Table 3   Galaxy-Related DCL Commands
Command Description
CONFIGURE GALAXY
Invokes the Galaxy Configuration Utility (GCU) to monitor, display, and interact with an OpenVMS Galaxy system.
INSTALL/LIST
Returns the Galaxywide sections as well as the standard global sections.
SHOW MEMORY/PHYSICAL
Displays the uses of memory by the system.
