This command is for use on Alpha and Integrity servers only.
It automatically identifies and configures all hardware devices
attached to a system by connecting devices and loading their
drivers.
On VAX systems, use the SYSGEN command AUTOCONFIGURE.
You must have CMKRNL and SYSLCK privileges to use the SYSMAN IO
AUTOCONFIGURE command.
Format
IO AUTOCONFIGURE
1 – Qualifiers
1.1 /SELECT
/SELECT=(device_name)
Specifies the device type to be automatically configured. Use
valid device names or mnemonics that indicate the devices to be
included in the configuration. You can use wildcard characters
with this qualifier.
See the Usage Notes under the /EXCLUDE qualifier for notes that
apply to both qualifiers.
This table shows examples of how the /SELECT qualifier works with
ports PKA, PKB, and PIA:
COMMAND DEVICES CONFIGURED DEVICES NOT CONFIGURED
/SELECT=P* PKA,PKB,PIA None
/SELECT=PK* PKA,PKB PIA
/SELECT=PKA* PKA PKB,PIA
1.2 /EXCLUDE
/EXCLUDE=(device_name)
Specifies the device type that should not be automatically
configured. Use valid device names or mnemonics that indicate
the devices to be excluded from the configuration. You can use
wildcard characters with this qualifier.
Usage Notes for the /SELECT and /EXCLUDE Qualifiers
o The /SELECT and /EXCLUDE qualifiers are not mutually exclusive
and you can specify both qualifiers on the command line.
o You can use the /SELECT and /EXCLUDE qualifiers to permanently
specify device autoconfiguration to include and exclude Fibre
Channel port driver devices (FG) and any SCSI port driver
devices (PK) for the duration of a manual autoconfiguration
command. (To permanently specify devices to be excluded at
each system boot, use the SYSMAN command IO SET EXCLUDE.)
You cannot use the /SELECT and /EXCLUDE qualifiers to include
and exclude any of the following device types:
- SCSI class-driver devices (DK, MK, GK) whose names include
a port allocation class or an HSZ allocation class
- Fibre Channel class-driver devices (PG, DG, GG)
This restriction also applies to SCSI devices on OpenVMS Alpha
Version 7.1 systems, if the SCSI device names include a port
allocation class.
1.3 /LOG
Controls whether the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command displays
information about loaded devices.
2 – Description
The SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command identifies and configures all
hardware devices attached to a system. It connects devices and
loads their drivers. You must have CMKRNL and SYSLCK privileges
to use the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command.
3 – Examples
1.SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE/EXCLUDE=DKA0
This command autoconfigures all devices on the system except
DKA0.
IO AUTOCONFIGURE automatically configures all standard devices
that are physically attached to the system, except for the
network communications device.
2.SYSMAN> IO AUTOCONFIGURE/LOG
The /LOG qualifier displays information about all the devices
that AUTOCONFIGURE loads.
