OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual

SHOW DEVICE

Displays information in the volatile device database. If the LANACP process is not running, displays a list of current LAN devices.

Format

SHOW DEVICE device-name


Parameter

device-name

Supplies the LAN controller device name. The device name has the form ddcu where dd is the device code, c is the controller designation, and u is the unit number. LAN devices are specified as the name of the template device which is unit 0. For example, the first DE435 Ethernet device is specified as EWA0, the second as EWB0.

For example, you can specify a DEMNA controller as EXA, EXA0, or EXA0:. This refers to the LAN template device, for which is maintained most of the device parameters and counters. Also, the device name can refer to a device unit representing an actual user or protocol. For example, the cluster protocol can be started on a device as EWA1. You can specify specific device units to view unit-specific parameter information.

If you do not specify a device name, all devices are displayed.

If you specify a device name, all matching LAN devices are displayed, for example: E to select all Ethernet devices, F for FDDI, I for Token Ring, EW to select all Ethernet PCI Tulip devices.

Note

If you do not specify a qualifier, the utility displays the matching devices without additional information.

Qualifiers

/ALL

Shows all devices that match device name.

/CHARACTERISTICS

On Alpha systems, same as the /PARAMETERS qualifier.

/COUNTERS

Displays device counters.

/DLL

Displays LAN volatile device database information related to MOP downline load for the device.

/MAP

Displays the current configuration of the functional address mapping table.

/MOPDLL

Same as the /DLL qualifier.

/OUTPUT=file-name

Creates the specified file and directs output to it.

/PARAMETERS

Displays status and related information about the device.

/REVISION

Displays the current firmware revision of the device, if available or applicable. Not all LAN devices return revision information. LAN devices that do not have a revision display a revision of zero.

/SR_ENTRY

Displays the contents of the current Token Ring source routing cache table.

SHOW NODE

Displays information in the LAN volatile node database.

Format

SHOW NODE node-name


Parameter

node-name

Specifies the name of a node in the LAN volatile node database. The name can include up to 63 characters associated with the node address. If you do not specify a node name, all nodes are displayed.

Qualifiers

/ALL

Displays information for all nodes in the LAN volatile node database. If you specify a node name, all matching nodes are selected; for example, A/ALL selects all nodes beginning with A.

/OUTPUT=file-name

Creates the specified file and directs output to that file. If the file extension is .com, the output is in the form of a list of DEFINE NODE or SET NODE commands. The resulting command file can be used to create the LAN node databases.

/TOTAL

Display counter totals only, for the nodes selected.

Examples

#1

This example shows output from a command issued on a local node on which there are three nodes defined (GALAXY, ZAPNOT, and CALPAL). CALPAL has issued two load requests:

#2

LANCP> SHOW NODE VAXSYS
 
      

Displays node characteristics and counters information from the LAN volatile node database for node VAXSYS.

#3

LANCP> SHOW NODE/ALL VAX
 
      

Displays node characteristics and counters information from the LAN volatile node database for all nodes whose name begins with VAX.

#4

LANCP> SHOW NODE/ALL
 
      

Displays node characteristics and counters information from the LAN volatile node database for all nodes.

#5

LANCP> SHOW NODE/ALL/OUTPUT=TMP.INI
 
      

Writes a list of all nodes to the file TMP.INI.

SPAWN

Creates a subprocess of the current process. The SPAWN command copies the context of the subprocess from the current process.

Format

SPAWN [command-string]


Parameter

command-string

A string of commands to be executed in the context of the created subprocess. After the command string is executed, control returns to LANCP.

Qualifiers

None.

Example


LANCP> SPAWN
 
$ MC LANCP
LANCP> DEFINE NODE BOOM/ROOT=LAVC$SYSDEVICE:<SYS22.>
LANCP> SPAWN SEARCH LAVC$SYSDEVICE:[*.SYSEXE]MOD*.DAT BOOM
 
****************************** 
LAVC$SYSDEVICE:[SYS1A.SYSEXE]MODPARAMS.DAT;1 
 
SCSNODE="BOOM    " 
LANCP> DEFINE NODE BOOM/ROOT=LAVC$SYSDEVICE:<SYS1A.>
 
      

In this example, you enter the node information for a node, but are unsure of the root, so you spawn to search MODPARAMS.DAT for the node name and then correct the root.

TRIGGER NODE

Issues a request to reboot to a remote node.

Rather than specify the format to send MOP Version 3 or 4, the LANCP utility sends one message in each format to the target node.


Format

TRIGGER NODE node-specification


Parameter

node-specification

Supplies either the node name or the node address of the target node. If you supply the node name, the node address is obtained by looking up the node name in the LAN volatile node database. If you supply the node address, the corresponding node need not be defined in the LAN volatile node database. The canonical form of the address consists of 6 hexadecimal byte characters separated by hyphens. Use a colon as the separator character to indicate the bit-reversed form of the address.

Qualifiers

/DEVICE=device-name

Specifies the LAN controller device name to be used for sending the trigger boot messages. For example, you can specify a DEMNA controller as EXA, EXA0 or EXA0:.

/PASSWORD=16hexdigits

Supplies the password to be used when the connection is initiated, in hexadecimal (for example, /PASSWORD=0123456789ABCDEF). The default password is zero. You can omit leading zeros.

Examples

#1

LANCP> TRIGGER NODE GALAXY/DEVICE=EWA0
      

This command sends MOP trigger boot messages to node GALAXY using Ethernet device EWA0.

#2

LANCP> TRIGGER NODE 08-00-2B-11-22-33/DEVICE=EWA0/PASSWORD=0123456789AB
      

This command sends MOP trigger boot messages to the given node address using the Ethernet device EWA0, with indicated password.

UPDATE DEVICE (Alpha only)

On Alpha systems, updates firmware image for a device. Requires SYSPRV privilege.


Format

UPDATE DEVICE device-name


Parameter

device-name

Specifies a device whose firmware is to be updated. The device name has the form ddcu where dd is the device code, c is the controller designation, and u is the unit number. LAN devices are specified as the name of the template device which is unit 0. For example, the first DE435 Ethernet device is specified as EWA0, the second as EWB0.

Qualifiers

/FILE = filename

Specifies the name of the file that is to be loaded into the EEPROM of the LAN device.

/RESET (default)

/NORESET

Specifies whether the device is to be reset after it has been updated. Normally, a reset is done to get the device to begin running the new firmware.

Example


LANCP> UPDATE DEVICE FAA0/FILE=FBUS_MAIN.SYS
 
      

Updates FDDI device FAA0 with the firmware file FBUS_MAIN.SYS followed by a reset.
