4355.0. "VAXstation 4000/Cougar console commands" by SLOAN::HOM () Sat Mar 15 1997 22:39

    Could someone post the console commands on a VAXstation 4000/Cougar
    to do the following:
    
    1.  rescan (if thats the right term) the SCSI bus for new
        devices,
    
    2.  set the boot device to  dkaxxx,
    
    3.  set the boot to be automatic on power up.
    
    Thanks,
    
    Gim

4355.1show device, set boot xxxx and set halt xVELI::KORKKOVeli K�rkk� @FNO, 879-5512Sun Mar 16 1997 15:1316
        >>> show device
        
        will scan the bus the for devices if this system behaves like
        any other VAX I have worked with.
        
        >>> set boot dkaxxx
        
        will set the boot device and
        
        >>> set halt X
        
        where X is either 0,1,2 or 3. But I cannot remember which is
        which. Would have to check manual which is not available right
        now.

>>    1.  rescan (if thats the right term) the SCSI bus for new
          devices,

	You don't really need to do it.  VMS will upon startup.  If you want
	to be sure, I usually do a TEST SCSI followed by a SHOW DEVICE to make
	sure that what I expect to be on the bus is.  SHOW CONFIG will also
	tell you what is on the bus but you need to update the display with
	TEST SCSI first.

>>    2.  set the boot device to  dkaxxx,

	SET BOOT, as you thought.  The argument can be a comma separated list
	if you'd like, i.e. DKA200,DKA100

>>    3.  set the boot to be automatic on power up.

	The command is SET HALT, values are:

		1 = Automatic RESTART
		2 = Automatic REBOOT
		3 = Automatic HALT
