Defining the logical names

The installation procedure generates a file SETUPSTARTUP.COM, which should be tailored to suit your system and then run at boot time.

The following logical name definitions are required in the LNM$SYSTEM table.

SETUPEXE

Points to the directory where the .EXE files are kept

SETUPLOGS

Points to the directory for log files from cleanup jobs

SETUPENABLED

Defined as INTERACTIVE, if interactive tape mounting is to be allowed

SETUPGENERIC

List of users for whom the check on generic device name against the TMS is not performed.

SETUPMAXDEV

Maximum number of devices of a given type that can be allocated per user per node. If not defined, the default is 999.

SETUPNOTAPES

Can be used to define a list of users that are not allowed to use the VAXTAP commands

SETUPQUEUES

Points to a list of batch queue names in which SETUP commands may be issued (or * for no restriction)

STAGETAPES

Defined as YES if tape staging is enabled.

DISK$STAGE

Points to the disk (or volume set, stripe set or search list) to be used for tape staging.

In addition, a logical name must exist for each generic device type. The logical name is SETUPgeneric-deviceS, thus, for a generic device of type 8MM, the corresponding logical name is SETUP8MMS. The generic device type is selected using the /GENERIC qualifier of the various VAXTAP commands.
