SYSGEN SHOW — VMS 5.4-3
Displays the values of system parameters in the SYSGEN work area, plus
the minimum, maximum, and default values of the parameters, and their
units of measure. Can also display the I/O driver database.
Format:
SHOW parameter-name
SHOW /parameter-type
SHOW /DEVICE=driver-name
SHOW /HEX parameter-name
SHOW /HEX/parameter-type
Additional information available:
parameter-name
Name of a system parameter. Use the SHOW /NAMES command to obtain the names of all the system parameters.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/ACP/ADAPTER/ALL/BI/BUS/CLUSTER/CONFIGURATION
/DEVICE/DRIVER/DYNAMIC/GEN/HEX/JOB/LGI
/MAJOR/MULTIPROCESSING/NAMES/PQL/RMS/SCS
/SPECIAL/STARTUP/SYS/TTY/UNIBUS/XMI
/ACP
/ACP Displays the system parameters that affect the disk and magnetic tape ancillary control processes (ACP's).
/ADAPTER
/ADAPTER Displays a list of adapters and what is connected to each nexus.
/ALL
/ALL Displays all the system parameters.
/BI
/BI=BIindex Displays device addresses that are currently mapped in the I/O space for the VAXBI bus. It also displays node and nexus numbers and generic names of UNIBUS and MASSBUS adapters, VAXBI adapters, memory controllers, and interconnection devices such as the DR32 and CI. Use of the SHOW/BI=BIindex command requires the CMEXEC privilege.
/BUS
/BUS=busId Displays the buses and any subsequent attached buses and all attached device node numbers, generic names of processors, memory modules, adapters, VAXBI adapters, memory controllers, and interconnection devices such as the NI. Use of the SHOW/BUS command requires the CMEXEC privilege.
/CLUSTER
/CLUSTER Displays the parameters that are associated with a VAX cluster.
/CONFIGURATION
/CONFIGURATION Shows devices by name, number of units, nexus number, adapter type, as well as CSR and vectors addresses. Requires CMEXEC privilege. Also accepts /ADAPTER = adapter-spec, /OUTPUT = file-spec, as well as /COMMAND_FILE, which formats all the devices as CONNECT commands to allow a complete re-configuration of a system's UNIBUS without the use of AUTOCONFIGURE.
/DEVICE
/DEVICE[=device-driver] Displays the device data base associated with a particular I/O device driver; if no device driver is specified, the database for all drivers is displayed. Requires CMEXEC privilege.
/DRIVER
/DRIVER[=device-driver] A short form of the /DEVICE display, only giving the beginning and ending addresses of the drivers.
/DYNAMIC
/DYNAMIC Displays the system parameters that can be modified in the active running system. See WRITE ACTIVE for how to modify these parameters.
/GEN
/GEN Displays the structure-generating parameters and other parameters that take effect only at boot time.
/HEX
/HEX Displays the values in base 16.
/JOB
/JOB Displays the job controller parameters.
/LGI
/LGI Displays all login parameters.
/MAJOR
/MAJOR Displays the major parameters. These are the parameters that are most likely to require adjustment for individual installations.
/MULTIPROCESSING
/MULTIPROCESSING Displays the parameters that are associated with symmetric multiprocessing (SMP).
/NAMES
/NAMES Displays just the names of all the parameters.
/PQL
/PQL Displays the parameters that are used as the minimum and default for process creation limits and quotas.
/RMS
/RMS Displays the parameters that are used as the system-wide defaults for VMS RMS.
/SCS
/SCS Displays the parameters that are associated with the system communications services.
/SPECIAL
/SPECIAL Displays all parameters that are reserved for DIGITAL use only.
/STARTUP
/STARTUP Displays the name of the current site-independent startup command procedure.
/SYS
/SYS Displays the parameters that are associated with overall system operation.
/TTY
/TTY Displays the parameters that are associated with the terminal driver.
/UNIBUS
/UNIBUS Tests every word in UNIBUS I/O space and returns a list of addresses that respond and the value that was read. Note that this command is useful for debugging UNIBUS autoconfigure problems, but it is not recommended for use on a running system. All unibus adapters are the default, /ADAPTER=adapter-spec can be specified. Requires CMKRNL privilege.
/XMI
/XMI=BIindex Displays device addresses that are currently mapped in the I/O space for the XMI bus. It also displays node and nexus numbers and generic names of processors, adapters, VAXBI adapters, memory controllers, and interconnection devices such as the NI. Use of the SHOW/XMI=BIindex command requires the CMEXEC privilege.
