Overview
The VMS System Management Utility (SYSMAN) centralizes system
management enabling you to manage nodes or clusters from one
location.
Format
RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
usage summary
To invoke SYSMAN, enter the following command at the DCL prompt:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
The utility displays the following prompt:
SYSMAN>
You can then enter SYSMAN commands. These commands follow the
standard rules of DCL syntax.
As an alternative, you can enter the RSX command MCR, which
expands to RUN SYS$SYSTEM:
$ MCR SYSMAN
With the MCR command, you can invoke SYSMAN and supply a command
in one command string. With any SYSMAN command (except SET
ENVIRONMENT), SYSMAN executes the command string and exits.
After executing a SET ENVIRONMENT command, the utility returns
the SYSMAN> prompt.
To exit from SYSMAN and return to the DCL command level, enter the
EXIT command at the SYSMAN> prompt or press Ctrl/Z.
NOTE
SYSMAN has the following restrictions:
o To use SYSMAN, you must have the OPER privilege on
the local node and authorization for the OPER or
SETPRV privilege on any remote node in the management
environment.
You must also have the privileges required by individual
commands, as documented in the Command Section. To
determine which privileges are required for DCL commands
or for system management utilities, refer to the VMS DCL
Dictionary or the appropriate utility reference manual.
o You cannot run SYSMAN from a batch job in any environment
that requires a password.
o Some DCL commands, such as SET CLUSTER/QUORUM, MOUNT
/CLUSTER, and some forms of the REPLY command, operate
clusterwide by design, and should not be run in a SYSMAN
environment defined as a cluster.
