1 /ALL
Applies the specified operation to all CPUs in the active set.
2 /ASSIGN
/ASSIGN [=option] (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Assigns the CPU to the current instance if no option is
specified.
If an option is specified, the CPU is assigned to that resource.
Option Description
$$PARTITION The current soft partition of the OpenVMS
instance.
$$HARD_ The hard partition of the OpenVMS instance.
PARTITION
Supported only on AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
3 /AUTO_START
/AUTO_START (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
/NOAUTO_START
Sets or clears the instance-specific autostart flag for the
specified CPUs.
When autostart is enabled, that CPU will join the OpenVMS active
set when it is assigned or migrated into the partition. The CPU
will also autostart if a power-up transition is completed while
the CPU is owned by the issuing instance.
Supported only on AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
4 /CAPABILITY
/CAPABILITY
/NOCAPABILITY
Allows bits in the process user capability mask to be set or
cleared individually, in groups, or all at once.
NOTE
The SET CPU/[NO]CAPABILITY command will fail if there is
an active process that requires a capability that is not
available on any remaining active CPU.
Specifying the /CAPABILITY qualifier has no direct effect, but
merely indicates the target of the operations specified by the
following secondary qualifiers:
/SET=(n[,..Sets all user capabilities defined by the position
values n, where n has the range of 1 to 16.
/CLEAR=(n[,Clears all user capabilities defined by the position
values n, where n has the range of 1 to 16.
The secondary qualifiers can all be used at once as long as the
user capability bits defined in the /SET and /CLEAR parameters do
not overlap.
The /NOCAPABILITY qualifier clears all user capability bits.
5 /CLEAR
/CLEAR=(n[,...])
Clears all user capabilities defined by the position values n
specified by the /CAPABILITY qualifier.
6 /FAILOVER
/FAILOVER=option (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
/NOFAILOVER
Establishes instance-specific failover relationships for each CPU
in the instance's potential set.
When the instance crashes, CPUs with a failover target other than
the current instance will be assigned or migrated to that target.
Specifying the /FAILOVER qualifier has no direct effect; however,
it indicates the target of the operations specified by the
following options:
Option Description
instance_name The name of any valid running instance in the
current hard partition.
partitionID The numeric ID of any partition (reflected in
the configuration tree) in the current hard
partition. An operating system instance is not
required to be running with this identifier.
$$PARTITION Assigns a resource to the current partition of
the current instance.
$$HARD_ Assigns a resource to the hard partition node
PARTITION of the configuration tree. This makes the CPU
available to multiple soft partitions below it.
The /FAILOVER qualifier generates a resource assignment only when
the current instance crashes.
Supported only on AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
99
7 /GLOBAL
Modifies the global cell SCH$GL_DEFAULT_CPU_CAP. This global cell
is used to initialize the user capability mask of CPUs that are
brought into the active set for the first time.
8 /MIGRATE
/MIGRATE=option (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Transfers ownership of the CPU from the current instance to
another soft partition.
Option Description
instance_name The name of any valid running instance in the
current hard partition.
partitionID The numeric ID of any partition (reflected in
the configuration tree) in the current hard
partition. An operating system instance is not
required to be running with this identifier.
Supported only on AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
9 /POWER
/POWER=option (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Turns the power on or off in one or more CPU slots. Valid options
are ON and OFF.
Supported only on AlphaServer GS series systems.
10 /OVERRIDE_CHECKS
/OVERRIDE_CHECKS (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Directs the SET/CPU command to bypass a series of checks that
determine whether the specified processor is eligible for removal
from the active set.
11 /REFRESH
/REFRESH (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Examines and updates the OpenVMS context for the specified CPU or
CPUs, using the hardware configuration tree.
12 /SET
/SET=(n[,...])
Sets all user capabilities defined by the position values n
specified by the /CAPABILITY qualifier.
13 /START
/START (Alpha/Integrity servers only)
Initiates a request for the specified CPU to join the OpenVMS
active set if it is not already there.
