As
system manager, you start up the LAT protocol and configure your
node as a service node by executing the command procedure SYS$STARTUP:LAT$STARTUP.
This procedure executes the following two procedures:
LAT$CONFIG.COM,
to load the LAT terminal driver LTDRIVER and create the LATACP process
LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM, to execute LATCP commands that
define LAT characteristics
To make sure the LAT protocol is started each time the system
boots, add a command to execute this procedure in the general-purpose,
site-specific startup command procedure, described as follows. (See
the HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1: Essentials for more detailed information about this command
procedure, including the file specification used to identify it
in your operating system.)
To
set up your node as a LAT service node and start the LAT protocol
software on your system each time the system boots, edit the general-purpose,
site-specific startup command procedure to add the following line:
$ @SYS$STARTUP:LAT$STARTUP.COM
When the general-purpose, site-specific startup command procedure
executes this command, it invokes LAT$STARTUP.COM, which in turn
invokes the LAT$CONFIG and LAT$SYSTARTUP command procedures.
You can append any of the following arguments to the command
line that invokes LAT$STARTUP to specify unique LAT characteristics
for your node. The procedure will pass these arguments to LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM
to define the LAT characteristics you specify.
HP recommends that you modify LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM directly,
rather than passing parameters in P1 through P5. However, if you choose to use P1 through P5, the
arguments have the following meanings:
Argument
Format
Meaning
P1
Service-name
Name of the service. For
clustered service nodes, use the cluster alias as the service name.
For independent service nodes, use the DECnet node name. LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM
uses the argument P1 to assign a service name to the node (with
the LATCP CREATE SERVICE command).
P2--P4
Any of the
following names:
LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM uses the
arguments to assign LAT node characteristics (with the LATCP SET
NODE command).
/IDENTIFICATION=
"string"
Description of the node
and its services that is advertised over the local area network
(LAN). The default is the string defined by the logical name SYS$ANNOUNCE.
Make sure you include five sets of quotation marks around the identification
string. For example:
"/IDENTIFICATION=" -
"""""Official system center"""""
/GROUPS=(ENABLE=group-list )
Terminal server groups qualified
to establish connections with the service node. By default, group
0 is enabled.
/GROUPS=(DISABLE=group-list )
Removes previously enabled
terminal server groups. If you are specifying the preceding qualifier
to enable groups, you can combine the qualifiers into one, as shown
in the example that follows this table.
P5
Any qualifiers valid with
the CREATE SERVICE command
LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM uses this argument
to assign service characteristics with the LATCP CREATE SERVICE
command. You can specify the /IDENTIFICATION, /LOG, and /STATIC_RATING qualifiers.
Specify several qualifiers as shown in the following example:
"/IDENTIFICATION=" -
"""""Official system node""""" -
/STATIC_RATING=250"
Note that if you want to do any of the following LAT network
tasks, you must edit LAT$SYSTARTUP.COM (described in
Customizing LAT Characteristics):
Set up LAT printers.
Create special application services.
Set up the node to allow outgoing connections (to
support the SET HOST/LAT command).
For a full description of LATCP commands and qualifiers, refer
to the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual.
