SHOW DEVICES

Displays the status of a device on the system.

See the qualifier descriptions for restrictions.


Format

SHOW DEVICES [device-name[:]]


Parameter

device-name[:]

Specifies the name of a device for which information is to be displayed. The device name displayed by the system uses the format ddcu where dd is the device code, c is the controller designation, and u is the unit number. If the system is part of an OpenVMS Cluster that is running with HSC controllers, the device name must include the node name using the format node$ddcu (where node is the node name).

You can specify a complete device name or only a portion of a device name. The SHOW DEVICES command provides defaults for nonspecified portions of device names, as follows:

  • If you truncate a device name (for example, if you specify D), the command lists information about all devices whose device names begin with what you entered (in this case, D). However, if you specify a device in an OpenVMS Cluster that is running with HSC controllers, you must include the entire node portion of the device name.
  • If you omit a controller designation, the SHOW DEVICES command lists all devices on all controllers with the specified unit number.
  • If you omit a unit number, the SHOW DEVICES command lists all devices on the specified controller.

Note that the /FILES qualifier does not support defaults for nonspecified portions of device names; you must supply a complete device specification.


Description

When you enter the SHOW DEVICES command without specifying a device or using any qualifier, information about all devices on the system is displayed. If you specify a device name, the SHOW DEVICES command displays information about that device. If you use certain qualifiers with the SHOW DEVICES command, information is displayed about those devices that currently have volumes mounted or that have been allocated to processes, or both.

The device name displayed by the system uses the format ddcu, where dd is the device code, c is the controller designation, and u is the unit number. If the system is part of an OpenVMS Cluster that is running with HSC controllers, the device name must include the node name using the format node$ddcu (where node is the node name).

If you enter the SHOW DEVICES command and do not specify a device name parameter or a qualifier, the command provides a brief listing of characteristics of all devices on the system, with the exception of pseudodevices with the mailbox characteristic, such as MBA3:, NLA0:, NET9:, and so on. To display such a device, you must specify all or part of the device name.

Note

If a field width is too narrow to display a particular numeric field, asterisks are displayed in place of the data. Therefore, if asterisks appear in the Free Space field while displaying a particular device, use the /UNITS or /SIZE qualifier to display the free space in bytes.

Qualifiers

/ALLOCATED

Displays all devices currently allocated to processes.

If you specify a device name, the characteristics of only that device are displayed. If the device is not currently allocated, the command displays a message indicating that there is no such device. If you specify a generic device name, the characteristics of all allocated devices of that type are displayed.

/BRIEF (default)

Displays brief information about the specified devices.

/BITMAP ddcu:

Displays information regarding minicopy or HBMM (Host-Based Minimerge) bitmaps for the given shadow set;

Note that the SHOW DEVICES/FULL ddcu: display also displays status to indicate that bitmaps are active on the device.

/EXACT

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify a search string that must match the search string exactly and must be enclosed with quotation marks (" ").

If you specify the /EXACT qualifier without the /SEARCH qualifier, exact search mode is enabled when you set the search string with the Find (E1) key.

/FILES

Requires SYSPRV (system privilege) or BYPASS privileges to list read-protected files.

Displays a list of the names of all files open on a volume and their associated process name and process identification (PID). The specified device must be a mounted Files-11 volume. If the specified volume is a multivolume set, the files on each volume in the set are listed.

Note

The SHOW DEVICES/FILES command does not support defaults for nonspecified portions of device names. You must supply a complete device specification when using the /FILES qualifier.

If the /SYSTEM qualifier is also specified, only the names of installed files and files opened by the system are displayed. Files opened by the system are those that have been opened without the use of an ancillary control process (ACP), such as INDEXF.SYS and QUOTA.SYS, as well as system files such as JBCSYSQUE.EXE and SYSMSG.EXE.

If the /NOSYSTEM qualifier is specified, only those files opened by processes are displayed. To list files opened by a process in your group, your process must have at least GROUP privilege. If the process is not in your group, you need WORLD privilege.

If neither the /SYSTEM nor the /NOSYSTEM qualifier is specified, the names of all files currently opened on the system are displayed.

If a file is read-protected from your user identification code (UIC), the "No privilege" message is displayed instead of the file name. You must have SYSPRV (system privilege) privilege or BYPASS privilege to display the file name.

A space in place of a file name represents a work file (such as a temporary edit file) not entered in any directory. To display temporary file names, you must have BYPASS privilege in addition to GROUP or WORLD privilege.

Do not use the /FILES qualifier with the /ALLOCATED, /BRIEF, /FULL, or /MOUNTED qualifier. The functions of the /FILES qualifier and these qualifiers are mutually exclusive.

/FULL

Displays a complete list of information about the devices, as appropriate, except for rebuild status. You must use the /REBUILD_STATUS qualifier to get that information.

Note that you cannot use the /UNITS or /SIZE qualifier with the /FULL qualifier.

The display will be in blocks or bytes, depending on the current system default setting. You can use SHOW PROCESS/UNITS to display the current default. To change the default, execute the DCL command SET PROCESS/UNITS=BYTES or SET PROCESS/UNITS=BLOCKS.

For more information about fields related to Dissimilar Device Shadowing (DDS) or Dynamic Volume Expansion (DVE) in the display, see the discussion of these topics in the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual.

/HIGHLIGHT[=keyword]

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE and /SEARCH qualifiers to specify the type of highlighting you want when a search string is found. When a string is found, the entire line is highlighted. You can use the following keywords: BOLD, BLINK, REVERSE, and UNDERLINE. BOLD is the default highlighting.

/MOUNTED

Displays all devices that currently have volumes mounted on them.

If you specify a device name, only the characteristics of that device are displayed; however, if the device is not currently mounted, the command issues a message indicating there is no such device. If you specify a generic device name, the characteristics of all such devices that currently have volumes mounted are displayed.

/MULTIPATH

Displays all devices that are currently multipath sets.

If you specify a device name, only the characteristics of that device are displayed; however, if the device is not a multipath set, the command issues a message indicating there is no such device. If you specify a generic device name, the characteristics of all such devices that are currently multipath sets are displayed.

/OUTPUT[=filespec]

/NOOUTPUT

Controls where the output of the command is sent. If you do not enter the qualifier, or if you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier without a file specification, the output is sent to the current process default output stream or device, identified by the logical name SYS$OUTPUT.

If you enter the /OUTPUT qualifier with a partial file specification (for example, specifying only a directory), SHOW is the default file name and .LIS the default file type. If you enter a file specification, it may not include the asterisk (*) and the percent sign (%) wildcard characters.

If you enter the /NOOUTPUT qualifier, output is suppressed.

/PAGE[=keyword]

/NOPAGE (default)

Controls the display of device information on the screen.

You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:

CLEAR_SCREEN Clears the screen before each page is displayed.
SCROLL Displays information one line at a time.
SAVE[= n] Enables screen navigation of information, where n is the number of pages to store.

The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier allows you to navigate through screens of information. The /PAGE=SAVE qualifier stores up to 5 screens of up to 255 columns of information. When you use the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier, you can use the following keys to navigate through the information:

Key Sequence Description
Up arrow key, Ctrl/B Scroll up one line.
Down arrow key Scroll down one line.
Left arrow key Scroll left one column.
Right arrow key Scroll right one column.
Find (E1) Specify a string to find when the information is displayed.
Insert Here (E2) Scroll right one half screen.
Remove (E3) Scroll left one half screen.
Select (E4) Toggle 80/132 column mode.
Prev Screen (E5) Get the previous page of information.
Next Screen (E6), Return, Enter, Space Get the next page of information.
F10, Ctrl/Z Exit. (Some utilities define these differently.)
Help (F15) Display utility help text.
Do (F16) Toggle the display to oldest/newest page.
Ctrl/W Refresh the display.

The /PAGE qualifier is not compatible with the /OUTPUT qualifier.

/REBUILD_STATUS

Tells you whether volumes need rebuilding.

You may need to rebuild a volume if the volume was improperly dismounted. Volumes are improperly dismounted when, for example, the system crashes.

For each volume, SHOW DEVICES/REBUILD_STATUS returns one of these values:

Value Meaning
Yes Rebuild needed.
No Rebuild not needed.
Not applicable You cannot rebuild this volume. This value is returned if, for example, the volume is not a disk, or the volume is write-locked.
Information unavailable Rebuild information is unavailable. This value is returned when, for example, the volume is not mounted, or mount verification is taking place.

To rebuild a volume, either:

  • Use SET VOLUME/REBUILD
  • Dismount the volume, then mount the volume again using MOUNT/REBUILD

You cannot use the /REBUILD_STATUS qualifier with any other SHOW DEVICES qualifiers, except /OUTPUT.

/SEARCH="string"

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to specify a string that you want to find in the information being displayed. Quotation marks are required for the /SEARCH qualifier, if you include spaces in the text string.

You can also dynamically change the search string by pressing the Find key (E1) while the information is being displayed. Quotation marks are not required for a dynamic search.

/SIZE=keyword

Allows you to override the current default specified by SET PROCESS/UNITS so that you can display disk free space in your choice of blocks or bytes. (/SIZE is functionally equivalent to /UNITS.)

The following keywords are valid with the /SIZE qualifier: BLOCKS, BYTES.

If you specify /SIZE with no keyword, the default value is not changed.

Note that you cannot use the /SIZE qualifier with the /FULL qualifier.

/SYSTEM

/NOSYSTEM

Controls whether the names of installed files and files opened by the system are displayed. Files opened by the system are those that have been opened without the use of an ancillary control process (ACP), such as INDEXF.SYS and QUOTA.SYS.

If you specify the /NOSYSTEM qualifier with the /FILES qualifier, only files opened by processes are displayed. If you omit both the /SYSTEM and /NOSYSTEM qualifiers and specify the /FILES qualifier, the names of all files currently open on the system are displayed.

You can use this qualifier only with the /FILES qualifier. See the description of the /FILES qualifier for more details.

/UNITS=keyword

Allows you to override the current default specified by SET PROCESS/UNITS so that you can display disk free space in your choice of blocks or bytes. (/UNITS is functionally equivalent to /SIZE.)

The following keywords are valid with the /UNITS qualifier: BLOCKS, BYTES.

If you specify /UNITS with no keyword, the default value is not changed.

Note that you cannot use the /UNITS qualifier with the /FULL qualifier.

/WINDOWS

Displays the window count and total size of all windows for files open on a volume. The file name and related process name and process identification (PID) are also displayed. The letter C in a display indicates that the file is open with "cathedral windows" (segmented windows).

/WRAP

/NOWRAP (default)

Use with the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier to limit the number of columns to the width of the screen and to wrap lines that extend beyond the width of the screen to the next line.

The /NOWRAP qualifier extends lines beyond the width of the screen and can be seen when you use the scrolling (left and right) features provided by the /PAGE=SAVE qualifier.

This disk is a device that performs its I/O through the Fast Path port PNA0. Fast Path is enabled for this disk, and its I/O will be processed on the preferred CPU, CPU 1, which is associated with its Fast Path port PNA0.

The /FULL qualifier also displays additional information about Fast Path devices. A Fast Path device may be either a class device or a port device. An example of a class device is an HSC disk, and an example of a port device is the CI. For both Fast Path class devices and ports, the display indicates that Fast Path is enabled and lists the current CPU ID to which that device is assigned. Additionally, for a Fast Path port, the display indicates the port's user-established CPU preference (if any).

The current preferred CPU and the User Preferred CPU can be set by using the DCL command, SET DEVICE/PREFERRED_CPU, or by issuing a $QIO.

For more information about using Fast Path features to improve I/O performance, see the HP OpenVMS I/O User's Reference Manual.

 User preferred CPU Id         2
 
      

This example shows a Fast Path assignment made by a user.

Normally, the User Preferred CPU ID matches the current preferred CPU ID. The reason for the mismatch in the above display is because CPU 2 was stopped. The port was previously assigned to CPU 2. But when CPU 2 was stopped, the operating system moved the port assignment from CPU 2 to CPU 1.

If CPU 2 were started, the operating system would assign the device to the User Preferred CPU.

This example shows a SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP display. In this example, the bitmap is an HBMM bitmap that is active on node IPA.

The /BITMAP qualifier is similar to the /REBUILD qualifier in that neither can be combined with most other SHOW DEVICE qualifiers. The SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP display can be brief or full; brief is the default. Use the /FULL qualifier to view the entire display.

If no bitmap is active (or the device is not mounted), no bitmap file ID is displayed. The phrase "no bitmaps active" is displayed.
