VHSCI follows the conventions of an HP conversational interfaces, such as the
Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). If you have used other HP products with a
conversational interface, you will find VHSCI easy to use and understand.

described in this subsection. All the VHSCI commands are described in Section 7,

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.
