VMS Help Sys Parameters, TMSCP_SERVE_ALL *Conan The Librarian |
TMSCP_SERVE_ALL is a bit mask that controls the serving of tapes.
The settings take effect when the system boots. You cannot change
the settings when the system is running.
Starting with OpenVMS Version 7.2, the serving types are
implemented as a bit mask. To specify the type of serving your
system will perform, locate the type you want in the following
table and specify its value. For some systems, you may want
to specify two serving types, such as serving all tapes except
those whose allocation class does not match. To specify such a
combination, add the values of each type, and specify the sum.
In a mixed-version cluster that includes any systems running
OpenVMS Version 7.1-x or earlier, serving all available tapes
is restricted to serving all tapes except those whose allocation
class does not match the system's allocation class (pre-Version
7.2 meaning). To specify this type of serving, use the value 9,
which sets bit 0 and bit 3. The following table describes the
serving type controlled by each bit and its decimal value:
Value
When
Bit Set Description
Bit 0 1 Serve all available tapes (locally attached and
those connected to HSx and DSSI controllers).
Tapes with allocation classes that differ from the
system's allocation class (set by the ALLOCLASS
parameter) are also served if bit 3 is not set.
Bit 1 2 Serve locally attached (non-HSx and non-DSSI)
tapes.
Bit 2 N/A Reserved.
Bit 3 8 Restrict the serving specified by bit 0. All tapes
except those with allocation classes that differ
from the system's allocation class (set by the
ALLOCLASS parameter) are served.
This is pre-Version 7.2 behavior. If your cluster
includes systems running OpenVMS Version 7.1-x
or earlier, and you want to serve all available
tapes, you must specify 9, the result of setting
this bit and bit 0.
Although the serving types are now implemented as a bit mask, the
values of 0, 1, and 2, specified by bit 0 and bit 1, retain their
original meanings:
o 0 - Do not serve any tapes (the default for earlier versions
of OpenVMS).
o 1 - Serve all available tapes.
o 2 - Serve only locally attached (non-HSx and non-DSSI) tapes.
If the TMSCP_LOAD system parameter is 0, TMSCP_SERVE_ALL is
ignored.
