$GETSYI
Returns information about the local system or about other systems in an
OpenVMS Cluster system. The $GETSYI service completes asynchronously;
for synchronous completion, use the Get Systemwide Information and Wait
($GETSYIW) service.
For additional information about system service completion, refer to
the Synchronize ($SYNCH) service.
On Alpha and I64 systems, this service accepts 64-bit addresses.
Format
SYS$GETSYI [efn] ,[csidadr] ,[nodename] ,itmlst [,iosb] [,astadr]
[,astprm]
C Prototype
int sys$getsyi (unsigned int efn, unsigned int *csidadr, void
*nodename, void *itmlst, struct _iosb *iosb, void
(*astadr)(__unknown_params), unsigned __int64 astprm);
Arguments
efn
| OpenVMS usage: |
ef_number |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by value |
Number of the event flag to be set when the $GETSYI request completes.
The efn argument is a longword containing this number;
however, $GETSYI uses only the low-order byte.
Upon request initiation, $GETSYI clears the specified event flag (or
event flag 0 if efn was not specified). Then, when the
request completes, the specified event flag (or event flag 0) is set.
csidadr
| OpenVMS usage: |
process_id |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |
modify |
| mechanism: |
by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64) |
| mechanism: |
by 32-bit reference (VAX) |
OpenVMS Cluster system identification of the node about which $GETSYI
is to return information. The csidadr argument is the
32-bit address (on VAX systems) or the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha
and I64 systems) of a longword containing this identification value.
The cluster-connection software assigns the OpenVMS Cluster system
identification of a node. You can obtain this information by using the
DCL command SHOW CLUSTER. The value of the cluster system
identification for a node is not permanent; a new value is assigned to
a node whenever it joins or rejoins the cluster.
You can also specify a node to $GETSYI by using the
nodename argument. If you specify
csidadr, you need not specify
nodename, and vice versa. If you specify both, they
must identify the same node. If you specify neither argument, $GETSYI
returns information about the local node; however, for wildcard
operations, you must use the csidadr argument.
If you specify csidadr as --1, $GETSYI assumes a
wildcard operation and returns the requested information for each node
in the cluster, one node per call. In this case, the program should
test for the condition value SS$_NOMORENODE after each call to $GETSYI
and should stop calling $GETSYI when SS$_NOMORENODE is returned.
nodename
| OpenVMS usage: |
process_name |
| type: |
character-coded text string |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by 32- or 64-bit descriptor--fixed-length string descriptor
(Alpha and I64) |
| mechanism: |
by 32-bit descriptor--fixed-length string descriptor
(VAX) |
Name of the node about which $GETSYI is to return information. The
nodename argument is the 32-bit address (on VAX
systems) or the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) of a
character string descriptor pointing to this name string.
The node name string must contain from 1 to 15 characters and must
correspond exactly to the node name; no trailing blanks or
abbreviations are permitted.
You can also specify a node to $GETSYI by using the
csidadr argument. See the description of
csidadr.
itmlst
| OpenVMS usage: |
32-bit item_list_3 or 64-bit item_list_64b |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) for 32-bit; quadword (unsigned) for
64-bit |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64) |
| mechanism: |
by 32-bit reference (VAX) |
Item list specifying which information is to be returned about the node
or nodes. The itmlst argument is the 32-bit address
(on VAX systems) or the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64
systems) of a list of item descriptors, each of which describes an item
of information. An item list in 32-bit format is terminated by a
longword of 0; an item list in 64-bit format is terminated by a
quadword of 0. All items in an item list must be of the same
format---either 32-bit or 64-bit.
The following diagram depicts the 32-bit format of a single item
descriptor:
The following table defines the item descriptor fields for 32-bit item
list entries:
| Descriptor Field |
Definition |
|
Buffer length
|
A word containing a user-supplied integer specifying the length (in
bytes) of the buffer in which $GETSYI is to write the information. The
length of the buffer needed depends on the item code specified in the
item code field of the item descriptor. If the value of the buffer
length field is too small, $GETSYI truncates the data.
|
|
Item code
|
A word containing a user-supplied symbolic code specifying the item of
information that $GETSYI is to return. The $SYIDEF macro defines these
codes. A description of each item code is given in the Item Codes
section.
|
|
Buffer address
|
A longword containing the user-supplied 32-bit address of the buffer
into which $GETSYI is to write the information.
|
|
Return length address
|
A longword containing the user-supplied 32-bit address of a word in
which $GETSYI writes the length in bytes of the information it actually
returned.
|
The following diagram depicts the 64-bit format of a single item
descriptor:
The following table defines the item descriptor fields for 64-bit item
list entries:
| Descriptor Field |
Definition |
|
MBO
|
The field must contain a 1. The MBO and MBMO fields are used to
distinguish 32-bit and 64-bit item list entries.
|
|
Item code
|
A word containing a user-supplied symbolic code specifying the item of
information that $GETSYI is to return. The $SYIDEF macro defines these
codes. A description of each item code is given in the Item Codes
section.
|
|
MBMO
|
The field must contain a --1. The MBMO and MBO fields are used to
distinguish 32-bit and 64-bit item list entries.
|
|
Buffer length
|
A quadword containing a user-supplied integer specifying the length (in
bytes) of the buffer in which $GETSYI is to write the information. The
length of the buffer needed depends on the item code specified in the
item code field of the item descriptor. If the value of the buffer
length is too small, $GETSYI truncates the data.
|
|
Buffer address
|
A quadword containing the user-supplied 64-bit address of the buffer
into which $GETSYI is to write the information.
|
|
Return length address
|
A quadword containing the user-supplied 64-bit address of a word in
which $GETSYI writes the length in bytes of the information it actually
returned.
|
See the Item Codes section for a description of the various $GETSYI
item codes.
iosb
| OpenVMS usage: |
io_status_block |
| type: |
quadword (unsigned) |
| access: |
write only |
| mechanism: |
by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64) |
| mechanism: |
by 32-bit reference (VAX) |
I/O status block to receive the final completion status. The
iosb argument is the 32-bit address (on VAX systems)
or the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64systems) of the quadword
I/O status block.
When you specify the iosb argument, $GETSYI sets the
quadword to 0 upon request initiation. Upon request completion, a
condition value is returned to the first longword; the second longword
is reserved for future use.
Though this argument is optional, HP strongly recommends that you
specify it, for the following reasons:
- If you are using an event flag to signal the completion of the
service, you can test the I/O status block for a condition value to be
sure that the event flag was not set by an event other than service
completion.
- If you are using the $SYNCH service to synchronize completion of
the service, the I/O status block is a required argument for $SYNCH.
- The condition value returned in R0 and the condition value returned
in the I/O status block provide information about different aspects of
the call to the $GETSYI service. The condition value returned in R0
gives you information about the success or failure of the service call
itself; the condition value returned in the I/O status block gives you
information about the success or failure of the service operation.
Therefore, to accurately assess the success or failure of the call to
$GETSYI, you must check the condition values returned in both R0 and
the I/O status block.
astadr
| OpenVMS usage: |
ast_procedure |
| type: |
procedure value |
| access: |
call without stack unwinding |
| mechanism: |
by 32- or 64-bit reference (Alpha and I64) |
| mechanism: |
by 32-bit reference (VAX) |
AST service routine to be executed when $GETSYI completes. The
astadr argument is the 32-bit address (on VAX systems)
or the 32- or 64-bit address (on Alpha and I64 systems) of this routine.
If you specify astadr, the AST routine executes at the
same access mode as the caller of the $GETSYI service.
astprm
| OpenVMS usage: |
user_arg |
| type: |
longword (unsigned) |
| access: |
read only |
| mechanism: |
by value |
AST parameter to be passed to the AST service routine specified by the
astadr argument. The astprm argument
is the longword parameter.
Item Codes
SYI$_ACTIVE_CPU_MASK
On Alpha and I64 systems, returns a value that represents a CPU-indexed
bitvector. When a particular bit position is set, the processor with
that CPU ID value is a member of the instance's active set - those
currently participating in the OpenVMS SMP scheduling activities.
SYI$_ACTIVECPU_CNT
Returns a count of the CPUs actively participating in the current boot
of the symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system.
Because this number is a longword, the buffer length field in the item
descriptor should specify 4 (bytes).
SYI$_ARCHFLAG
Returns the architecture flags for the system.
Because this number is a longword, the buffer length field in the item
descriptor should specify 4 (bytes).
SYI$_ARCH_NAME
Returns, as a character string, the name of the CPU architecture on
which the process is executing. Currently, one of three strings is
returned: "Alpha" for Alpha, "VAX" for VAX, or
"IA64" for I64.
Because this name can include up to 15 characters, the buffer length
field in the item descriptor should specify 15 (bytes).
SYI$_ARCH_TYPE
Returns the type of CPU architecture on which the process is executing.
SYI$_ARCH_TYPE returns 1 on VAX , 2 on Alpha, and 3 on I64.
Because this number is a longword, the buffer length field in the item
descriptor should specify 4 (bytes).
SYI$_AVAIL_CPU_MASK
On Alpha and I64 systems, returns a value that represents a CPU-indexed
bitvector. When a particular bit position is set, the processor with
that CPU ID value is a member of the instance's configure set - those
owned by the partition and controlled by the issuing instance.
SYI$_AVAILCPU_CNT
Returns the number of CPUs available in the current boot of the
symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system.
Because this number is a longword, the buffer length field in the item
descriptor should specify 4 (bytes).
SYI$_BOOTTIME
Returns the time when the node was booted.
Because the returned time is in the standard 64-bit absolute time
format, the buffer length field in the item descriptor should specify 8
(bytes).
SYI$_CHARACTER_EMULATED
Returns the number 1 if the character string instructions are emulated
on the CPU and the value 0 if they are not.
Because this number is a Boolean value (1 or 0), the buffer length
field in the item descriptor should specify 1 (byte).
SYI$_CLUSTER_EVOTES
Returns the number of votes expected to be found in the OpenVMS Cluster
system. The cluster determines this value by selecting the highest
number from all of the following: each node's system parameter
EXPECTED_VOTES, the sum of the votes currently in the cluster, and the
previous value for the number of expected votes.
Because this number is a word in length, the buffer length field in the
item descriptor should specify 2 (bytes).
SYI$_CLUSTER_FSYSID
Returns the system identification of the founding node, which is the
first node in the OpenVMS Cluster system to boot.
The cluster management software assigns this system identification to
the node. You can obtain this information by using the DCL command SHOW
CLUSTER. Because the system identification is a 6-byte hexadecimal
number, the buffer length field in the item descriptor should specify 6
(bytes).
SYI$_CLUSTER_FTIME
Returns the time when the founding node is booted. The founding node is
the first node in the OpenVMS Cluster system to boot.
Because the returned time is in the standard 64-bit absolute time
format, the buffer length field in the item descriptor should specify 8
(bytes).
SYI$_CLUSTER_MEMBER
Returns the membership status of the node in the OpenVMS Cluster
system. The membership status specifies whether the node is currently a
member of the cluster.
Because the membership status of a node is described in a 1-byte bit
field, the buffer length field in the item descriptor should specify 1
(byte). If bit 0 in the bit field is set, the node is a member of the
cluster; if it is clear, then it is not a member of the cluster.
SYI$_CLUSTER_NODES
Returns the number (in decimal) of nodes currently in the OpenVMS
Cluster system.
Because this number is a word in length, the buffer length field in the
item descriptor should specify 2 (bytes).
SYI$_CLUSTER_QUORUM
Returns the number (in decimal) that is the total of the quorum values
held by all nodes in the OpenVMS Cluster system. Each node's quorum
value is derived from its system parameter EXPECTED_VOTES.
Because this number is a word in length, the buffer length field in the
item descriptor should specify 2 (bytes).
SYI$_CLUSTER_VOTES
Returns the total number of votes held by all nodes in the OpenVMS
Cluster system. The number of votes held by any one node is determined
by that node's system parameter VOTES.
Because this decimal number is a word in length, the buffer length
field in the item descriptor should specify 2 (bytes).
SYI$_COMMUNITY_ID
On Alpha and I64 systems, returns the hardware community ID for the
issuing instance within the hard partition. Supported only on
AlphaServer systems that support partitioning.
SYI$_CONTIG_GBLPAGES
Returns the maximum number of free, contiguous global CPU-specific
pages. This number is the largest size global section that can be
created.
Because this number is a longword, the buffer length in the item
descriptor should specify 4 (bytes).
SYI$_CPU
On VAX systems, returns the CPU processor type, as represented in the
processor's system identification (SID) register.
For example, the integer 1 represents a VAX--11/780 system and the
integer 6 represents a VAX 8530, VAX 8550, VAX 8700, or VAX 8800 system.
