3.1.1 Starting UTILIT from the Console Prompt on OpenVMS VAX Systems
Use the following procedure to start UTILIT from the console prompt on
OpenVMS VAX systems:
1. At the console prompt, enter the SHOW DEVICE command as shown in the
following example:
>>> SHOW DEVICE
DSSI Node ID 0 (DSSI nodename)
-DIA200 (RF72)
-DIA210 (RF72)
-DIA250 (RF72)
DSSI NODE ID 5 (*)
UQSSP Disk Controller 0 (772150)
-DUA0 (RA82)
Ethernet Adapter
-ESA0 (08-00-2B-13-80-85)
This is the HSD05 array controller. The
DSSI nodename
is initially a
six-digit number. Do not confuse this number with the DSSI ID value.
2. Depending upon your installation, enter one of the following two command
lines to use the DUP utility to establish a connection to the HSD05 array
controller:
>>> SET HOST/DUP/DSSI a

You may have to explicitly specify the DSSI bus (0 or 1) to properly establish
a connection to the HSD05 array controller. In such cases, use the following
command line:
