Parameter

DATABASE
   Directs SYSMAN to display the name of the current startup
   database. There are two startup databases: STARTUP$STARTUP_LAYERED
   and STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS. Digital recommends that you do not modify
   the STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS database.

FILE
   Displays the contents of the current startup database. The display
   includes the file name, phase, and mode of execution for each
   component in the database.

Qualifiers

Additional information available:

/FULL/NODE/OUTPUT/PARAMETERS/PHASE

/FULL

   Displays full information about each component in the database. In
   addition to the phase, file name, and mode of execution for each
   startup component, SYSMAN displays the nodes on which the file
   executes and the parameters passed to the file. Relevant with the
   FILE parameter.

/NODE

   Displays the nodes within the cluster on which the file
   executes. By default, a startup file executes on all nodes in
   an environment. Relevant with the FILE parameter.

/OUTPUT

      /OUTPUT=filespec

   Redirects command output from SYS$OUTPUT to the file named with
   the qualifier. Without a filespec, SYSMAN writes the output to
   SYSMAN.LIS in the current directory.

/PARAMETERS

   Lists the parameters with which the startup file executes.
   Parameters that are not specified receive the defaults defined by
   the system parameter STARTUP_Pn. Relevant with the FILE parameter.

/PHASE

      /PHASE=phase-name

   Displays components that execute in a specific phase of system
   startup. Valid phases include LPBEGIN, LPMAIN, LPBETA, and END.
   LPMAIN is the default. Relevant with the FILE parameter.

Example

   SYSMAN> STARTUP SET DATABASE STARTUP$STARTUP_VMS
