interface. This section has the following subsections:

•
Getting information about and modifying log destinations
•

Getting Started
VHSCI follows the conventions of Compaq conversational interfaces, such as the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). If you have used other Compaq products with a
conversational interface, you will find VHSCI easy to use and understand.
Running VHSCI
You can run VHSCI from the TACL prompt. The RUN command to start VHSCI is
described in this subsection. All the VHSCI commands are described in Section 7,
Command Descriptions.
If VHSCI is installed in the $SYSTEM.SYSTEM or $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume, you
can type the following from any volume or subvolume to run VHSCI:
1> vhsci
However, if VHSCI is not installed in $SYSTEM.SYSTEM or $SYSTEM.SYSnn
subvolume, you can use the TACL VOLUME command to move to the subvolume
where VHSCI is installed:
1> volume $vol.subvol
2> run vhsci
Note. To run VHSCI with High PIN support, ensure that the #HIGHPIN built-in variable is set to
On at the TACL prompt.
