NonStop NS-Series Operations Guide (H06.12+)

"[" repetition-constant-list "]"
Item Spacing Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is
a punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:
CALL STEPMOM ( process-id ) ;
If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In
this example, no spaces are permitted between the period and any
other items:
$process-name.#su-name
Line Spacing If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each
continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the
preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a
continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For
example:
ALTER [ / OUT file-spec / ] LINE
[ , attribute-spec ]…

For comprehensive information about performing operations tasks for an Integrity NonStop
NS-series server, you need both this guide and the Guardian User’s Guide. The Guardian User’s
Guide describes some tasks not covered in this guide, such as supporting users of the system.
The Guardian User’s Guide describes routine tasks common to system operations on all NonStop
servers. Instructions and examples show how to support users of the system, how to monitor
operator messages, how to control the spooler, and how to manage disks and tapes. Numerous
tools that support these functions are also documented. Some monitoring procedures in the
Guardian User’s Guide have information about using only the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF).
That guide does not generally describe any monitoring procedures using the OSM packages.
Information about the use of OSM, such as how to migrate from TSM to OSM, how to install and
configure OSM server and client components, and how to use the OSM Service Connection,
appear in these manuals:
• OSM Migration and Configuration Guide
• NonStop System Console Installer Guide
• OSM Service Connection User’s Guide (available in NTL and as online help within the OSM Service
Connection)
Servers that are connected in ServerNet clusters require special installation and operating
procedures that are not documented in this manual. Such information is instead provided with
the appropriate cluster documentation and the ServerNet Cluster Supplement for Integrity NonStop
NS-Series Servers.
