ESS LU Attributes That Override SCF LU Attributes

Using LUNS

097841 Tandem Computers Incorporated 2–25

Note that if the NOACQ attribute is not specified for switched floating LUs, the

default value for the switched floating LUs is OFF.

Changing an LUs NOACQ Value

The NOACQ value for existing LUs can be changed with the ALTER LU command.

Removing the NOACQ Value

The NOACQ value can be removed from the line, PU, and LU with an ALTER

command by specifying a null string (“”) as the value for NOACQ.

Caution Pathway acquires terminal LUs. Do not use the NOACQ attribute for LUs that use Pathway.

ESS LU Attributes That

Override SCF LU

Attributes

The following SCF attributes specify certain conditions for an LU that are also

specified by entries in an ESS table. If what you specify with SCF for these attributes

differs from what is specified in the ESS table, LUNS uses the values specified in the

ESS table. That is, LUNS will use the ESS table values to set up the session, and these

values remain in effect for the duration of the session.

BINDENTRY Attribute The syntax for the BINDENTRY attribute is as follows:

BINDENTRY "

bind-table-entry-name

" specifies the record name of a BIND image used by

this LU found in either a host LOGMODE table or in a BIND table created using

SNAXUTL.

If the BINDENTRY attribute is specified in an ADD or ALTER LINE command

(primary line only) or an ADD or ALTER PU command to which this LU is

permanently subordinated, the LU uses the BINDENTRY value of the superior object

as a default unless it is overridden by a BINDENTRY value specified in an ADD or

ALTER LU command for the LU.

For switched floating LUs, the BINDENTRY value must be specified in an ADD $SSCP

or ALTER $SSCP LU command.

The BINDENTRY name can contain from one through eight alphanumeric or special

characters ($, #, or @). Note that BINDENTRY names can be specified in uppercase or

lowercase letters; SNAX/XF converts all lowercase letters to uppercase.

BINDTABLE Attribute The syntax for the BINDTABLE attribute is as follows:

BINDTABLE "

bind-table-name

" specifies the name of a BIND table that has been created using

SNAXUTL (see “SELECTFILE” in Appendix A). The BIND table contains the BIND

image specified with a BINDENTRY attribute for a primary line and its subordinate

objects.
