PREFACE AND CHAPTER 1
|
|
|
|
APRIL 1988
|
|
|
|
This Manual provides the basic concepts and procedures for VMS system
|
|
management; it is especially intended for managers of small clusters and
|
|
systems.
|
|
|
|
PREFACE
|
|
|
|
The VMS SYSTEM MANAGER'S MANUAL provides system managers with the concepts and
|
|
procedures needed to manage daily operations on a VMS system. This manual
|
|
contains a subset of information included in the Extended VMS System
|
|
managements documentation subkit.
|
|
|
|
INTENDED AUDIENCE
|
|
|
|
This manual can be used by anyone who performs the functions of a system
|
|
manager or operator on a VMS system. It is especially intended for managers of
|
|
small clusters and systems.
|
|
|
|
Document Structure
|
|
|
|
The VMS SYSTEM MANAGER'S MANUAL is divided into two main sections: System
|
|
Management Tasks and Reference.
|
|
|
|
Part I ( Chapters 1 through 11 ) are task-oriented descriptions of the
|
|
functions that are generally assigned to system managers. Part II, the
|
|
Reference section, documents the utilities that serve as system management
|
|
tools on a VMS system.
|
|
|
|
Chapter 1 describes each chapter in some detail. REad Chapter 1 to determine
|
|
which of the remaining chapters in the book are appropriate for your needs.
|
|
|
|
The Reference section contains quick reference information on the VMS system
|
|
management utilities. Each utility chapter includes a usage summary and a
|
|
subset of frequently use commands and qualifiers.
|
|
|
|
The Reference section includes the following utilities:
|
|
|
|
: Accounting Utility
|
|
: Analyze/Disk_Structure Utility
|
|
: Authorize Utility
|
|
: Backup Utility
|
|
: Bad Block Locator Utility
|
|
: Error Log Utility
|
|
: Exchange Utility
|
|
: Install Utility
|
|
: LAT Control Program Utility
|
|
: Mount Utility
|
|
: Network Control Program ( NCP ) Utility
|
|
: SYSGEN Utility
|
|
: SYSMAN Utility
|
|
: Terminal Fallback Utility

|
|
The VMS operating system and the other software products that run on your
|
|
computer provide you and the other users on your system with a wide range of
|
|
computing capabilities. In order to create and maintain a proper and
|
|
efficient computing environment, certain administrative tasks must be
|
|
undertaken. These tasks are called SYSTEM MANAGEMENT, and they include the
|
|
following:
|
|
|
|
: Setting up the system
|
|
: Giving individual users access to the system
|
|
: Installing software (and software updates)
|
|
: Managing acceptable performance levels
|
|
: Preventing the loss of important information that you keep on line
|
|
: Making sure that the system is secure
|
|
: Handling media (such as disks/magnetic tapes)
|
|
: setting up the software to allow for printers and for batch jobs
|
|
: Setting up a cluster
|
|
: Setting up a network
|
|
|
|
As system manager, you may need to do some of these tasks only once (for
|
|
example, setting up software to allow for printers or batch jobs, or setting
|
|
up a network); others are done on a continuing basis (for example, maintaining
|
|
system security and preventing the loss of data). At some sites, one or more
|
|
people are designated as SYSTEM MANAGERS, and other individuals are designated
|
|
as OPERATORS. In these cases, operators are responsible for tasks such as
|
|
physically mounting magnetic tapes and disks, monitoring printers, responding
|
|
to emergencies or security alarms, and maintaining system log files.
|
|
|
|
Not all of the tasks described in this manual may be necessary for your site.
|
|
This chapter provides an overview of the information that this manual
|
|
contains. You should read this introductory chapter to determine which parts
|
|
of the manual may be applicable to your site.

1.2 SYSTEM MANAGEMENT CONCEPTS AND TERMS
|
|
|
|
Some concepts and terms are used frequently in system management, and you
|
|
should become familiar with them. The following terms and concepts are used
|
|
both in the context of everyday general use in a VMS system and in the context
|
|
of system management; they are described in the VMS GENERAL USER'S MANUAL:
|
|
|
|
: Accounts and directories
|
|
: Command Procedures
|
|
: Digital Command Language (DCL)
|
|
|
|
The following concepts and terms apply primarily to system management:
|
|
|
|
: SYSTEM account and [SYSMGR] directory
|
|
|
|
The SYSTEM account is reserved for use by the system manager. When you
|
|
are logged into the SYSTEM ACCOUNT, your default directory (Which is also
|
|
reserved for the system manager) is SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSMGR].
|
|
|
|
Always be careful when you are logged into the SYSTEM account. When you
|
|
are logged into the SYSTEM account, all privileges are enabled, by default.
|
|
You need these privileges to perform many system management tasks; however,
|
|
they can also produce unwanted or even destructive results if you use them
|
|
carelessly.
|
|
|
|
: CONSOLE (OPERATOR'S) TERMINAL
|
|
|
|
You can perform most system management tasks from any terminal that is
|
|
connected to the processor (or the cluster). However, certain tasks such
|
|
as bootstrapping the system and communicating with the VAX processor's
|
|
console subsystem must be performed at a special terminal called the
|
|
CONSOLE TERMINAL.
|
|
|
|
The console terminal, which always has the designation OPA0, is also
|
|
usually designated as the OPERATOR'S TERMINAL. You use the operator's
|
|
terminal to send messages to system users and respond to user requests,
|
|
using the operator communication process (OPCOM).
