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.
