1  –  EXCLUDE

    This command is for use on Alpha and Integrity servers only. It
    sets the permanent exclusion list to be used when configuring
    devices automatically.

    The exclusion list can be cleared by entering an empty string.

    Format

      IO SET EXCLUDE  = device_name

1.1  –  Parameter

 device_name

    Specifies the device type to be excluded from automatic
    configuration. Use valid device names or mnemonics that indicate
    the devices to be included in the permanent exclusion list. You
    can specify wildcards.

1.2  –  Description

    Sets the permanent exclusion list to be used when configuring
    devices.

    You can use this command to permanently specify device
    autoconfiguration to exclude Fibre Channel port driver devices
    (FG) and any SCSI port driver devices (PK) at each system boot.
    (To specify permanently the exclusion or inclusion of devices for
    the duration of a manual configuration command, use the /EXCLUDE
    or /SELECT qualifier with the SYSMAN IO AUTOCONFIGURE command.)

    You cannot use the SYSMAN IO SET EXCLUDE command to exclude any
    of the following device types:

    o  SCSI class-driver devices (DK, MK, GK) whose names include a
       port allocation class or an HSZ allocation class

    o  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  –  Examples

    1.SYSMAN> IO SET EXCLUDE=(DKC500,DKD*)

      This example specifies that DKC500 and all DKD devices are not
      to be autoconfigured.

      For additional examples that show how to specify device names,
      see the /SELECT qualifier available with the SYSMAN IO
      AUTOCONFIGURE command.

    2.SYSMAN> IO SET EXCLUDE=(" ")

      This example clears the exclusion list.

2  –  PREFIX

    This command is for use on Alpha and Integrity servers only.
    It sets the prefix list that is used to manufacture the IOGEN
    Configuration Building Module (ICBM) names.

    Format

      IO SET PREFIX  =icbm_prefix

2.1  –  Parameter

 icbm_prefix

    Specifies ICBM prefixes. These prefixes are used by the SYSMAN IO
    AUTOCONFIGURE command to build ICBM image names.

2.2  –  Description

    The SYSMAN IO SET PREFIX command sets the prefix list which is
    used to manufacture ICBM names.

2.3  –  Example

  SYSMAN> IO SET PREFIX=(SYS$,PSI$,VME_)

      This example specifies the prefix names used by SYSMAN IO
      AUTOCONFIGURE to build the ICBM names. The prefixes are SYS$,
      PSI$, and VME_.
