8.2 HS Array Controller System Management
System management of the HS array controllers is meant to be done remotely
over a VCS or DUP connection (or by using HSZterm for HSZ array controllers)
with the exception of entering the vital controller parameters (controller ID
and so forth). Only the vital controller parameters must be entered from a
maintenance terminal connected directly to the maintenance terminal port at
initial installation or when replacing a failed controller.
Table 8–1 lists the minimum operating support support for HSJ, HSD30, and
HSZ array controllers.

8.3 OpenVMS and VMS VAX Operating Systems
The following sections provide information pertinent to OpenVMS and VMS VAX
operating systems.
Refer to the OpenVMS operating system documentation for operating system
specific information. The OpenVMS operating system versions that support the
controller are listed in the controller or operating system specific SPD and release
notes.
8.3.1 CLI Access via DUP with OpenVMS Operating System
After initial configuration, you can access the CLI from a virtual terminal DUP
connection (for HSJ and HSD30 array controllers). The method for establishing
a virtual terminal connection varies depending on the operating system and
interface type.
If you are entering commands from a host terminal, the following command
line creates a virtual terminal connection (and a LOG file of your configuration
parameters from your CLI session) to your controller’s command line interpreter
(CLI) from OpenVMS operating systems. At the VMS DCL prompt, enter the
following command:
Note
You must have the DIAGNOSE privilege to use the following command.
