NAME

sizer − a program that sizes system hardware

SYNTAX

/etc/sizer [ options ]

DESCRIPTION

The sizer program reports various items of information about a kernel file and the running system. It is also used to create a system configuration file in the doconfig command.

OPTIONS

−b Create a boot command file for the current system disk.  The sizer program creates the appropriate defboo and askboo command files in /usr/sys/*.cons. These files can then be used to update the systems console media. This only applies for VAX8600, VAX780, and VAX730 cpus.

−c Return the CPU type of the running cpu.  It returns one of the following strings: VAX8800, VAX8600, VAX8200, VAX780, VAX750, VAX730, MVAX_II, and  MVAX_I. 

−k image
Use the indicated kernel file instead of /vmunix. This is useful when the running system is not /vmunix or you wish information about a system that is not running.

−r Return only the name of the root device and partition. 

−s Return only the CPU subtype of the running cpu.  It returns following values for the following cpus:

 11VAX8800
10VAX8700
 9VAX8550
 8VAX8500
 6VAX8300
 5VAX8200
 4VAXstation 2000

 The value 0 is returned for all other cpu types.
