Parameters
device Specifies the terminal name or port name that you want to assign to a user name. The parameter device must be a terminal name if you do not specify qualifiers on the command line, and can be either a logical name or an abbreviated device name. user Specifies the user name of the account that you want to assign to a particular terminal or port.
Qualifiers
Additional information available:
/TERMINAL
/TERMINAL (default)
Directs SYSMAN to check whether the device name you specified
is a terminal on the target system. The parameter device can
be a logical name or an abbreviated device name (which SYSMAN
translates to a full device name).
/PORT
Directs SYSMAN to check whether the device name you specified is a
valid port. If the port name contains special characters, such as
a slash (/), or if it contains lowercase letters that you want to
preserve, you must enclose the port name within quotation marks
("").
/PROXY
Directs SYSMAN to check whether the device name you specified is a valid port. SYSMAN also checks that device is in the NODE::USERNAME format.
/LOG
Directs SYSMAN to display the device names and user names as they are added to the ALF database.
Example
SYSMAN> ALF ADD TTA3 JBERGERON
SYSMAN> ALF ADD "MN34C3/LC-1-2" FMARTIN /PORT
In this example, the first command assigns terminal TTA3 to
user JBERGERON. The second command assigns port MN34C3/LC-1-2
to user FMARTIN.

/LOG
Causes SYSMAN to display each device name and user name after it has been removed from the ALF database.
