When the security password is set, there are two types of users: privileged users and unprivileged users. Privileged users know the security password and can use the full range of console commands; unprivileged users can use only the following commands: · LOGIN--Use this command with the security password to become a privileged user. · BOOT--Use this command without parameters to boot the operating system. · CONTINUE--Use this command to return to the operating system after pressing the halt button. Chapter 3 describes the console commands. The following subsections describe how to do the following: · Set the security password · Enable the console security feature · Log in to privileged console mode · Change the security password · Disable the security password · Exit from privileged console mode 2.2.1 Setting the Security Password The console security feature is disabled when you receive the system. To set the security password on the system, follow these steps: 1. Enter the following command at the console prompt (>>>): >>> SET PSWD The system responds with the following prompt: PSWD1 : ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ · The security password must be a string of exactly 16 hexadecimal characters (0 to 9 and A to F). Console Security Feature and System Defaults 2-3 · Write down the security password and store it in a safe place. If you forget the security password, you must call your Digital Services representative to disable the console security feature. · If the recall buffer is enabled when you use the SET PSWD command, you delete all the commands stored in the buffer. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2. Enter a security password and press Return. The system does not display the security password as you type it. The system responds with the following prompt: PSWD2 : 3. Verify the security password by entering it a second time. The system does not display the security password as you type it. If you enter the same security password at each prompt, the system saves the security password in nonvolatile memory. The system does not lose the security password when you turn off the system. If the second security password does not match the first, the system responds with the following error message: ?63 ILLEGAL PASSWORD >>> 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 if you see an error message. 2.2.2 Enabling the Console Security Feature When you have set the security password, you must enable the console security feature. To enable the console security feature, enter the following command at the console prompt: >>> SET PSE 1 Enter the following command to check whether you have enabled the console security feature: >>> SHOW PSE If you have enabled the console security feature, the system displays the following message: Enabled 2-4 Console Security Feature and System Defaults 2.2.3 Logging in to Privileged Console Mode When the console security feature is enabled, you must enter the security password to log in to privileged console mode.

Enter the following command: >>> LOGIN The system responds with the following prompt: Password: 2. Enter the security password and press Return. The system does not display the security password as you type it. If you enter the correct security password, the system returns you to the console prompt and you become a privileged user. You can now use the full range of console commands. If you enter an incorrect security password, the system responds with the following error message: ?63 ILLEGAL PASSWORD >>> 3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if an error message is displayed. 2.2.4 Changing the Security Password You must be a privileged user to change the security password. To change the security password, follow these steps: 1. Follow the procedure in Section 2.2.3 using the current security password to log in to the system. 2. Enter the following command: >>> SET PSWD Console Security Feature and System Defaults 2-5 The system responds with the following prompt: PSWD1 : ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ · The security password must be a string of exactly 16 hexadecimal characters (0 to 9 and A to F). · Write down the security password and store it in a safe place. If you forget the security password, you must call your Digital Services representative to disable the console security feature. · If the recall buffer is enabled when you use the SET PSWD command, you delete all the commands stored in the buffer. ------------------------------------------------------------ 3. Enter a new security password and press Return. The system does not display the security password as you type it. The system then responds with the following prompt: PSWD2 : 4. Verify the new security password by entering it a second time. The system does not display the new security password as you type it. If you enter the same new security password a second time, the system saves the new security password in nonvolatile memory. The system does not lose the new security password when you turn off the system. If you incorrectly enter the new security password a second time, the system responds with the following error message: ?63 ILLEGAL PASSWORD >>> 5. Repeat steps 1 to 5 if an error message is displayed. 2-6 Console Security Feature and System Defaults 2.2.5 Disabling the Console Security Feature When you disable the console security feature, all users can use the full range of console commands. To disable the console security feature, follow these steps: 1. Follow the procedure in Section 2.2.3 using the current security password to log in to the system. 2. Enter the following command: >>> SET PSE 0 Enter the following command to check whether you have disabled the console security feature: >>> SHOW PSE If you have disabled the console security feature, the system displays the following message: Disabled 2.2.6 Exiting from Privileged Console Mode When you exit from privileged console mode, privileged users must enter the LOGIN command with the correct password before they can use the full range of console commands. To exit from privileged console mode, enter one of the following commands: · BOOT (with any supplied parameters) · CONTINUE · HALT · START Chapter 3 describes each of these commands. 2.3 Setting the Default Boot Device When the system is shipped, it is set to boot from the system disk, DKA300. This RZ-series disk holds the factory installed software (FIS). You can set the system to boot from a different default boot device that holds the operating system software. Table 2-1 shows the alternative default boot devices and their associated OpenVMS(TM) device names. Console Security Feature and System Defaults 2-7 Table 2-1 Alternative Default Boot Devices ------------------------------------------------------------ Device OpenVMS Device Name ------------------------------------------------------------ Hard disk (SCSI ID 0 to 7) DKxn00 1 ;2 Network (the system boots from a remote system) EZA0 Tape drive (SCSI ID 0 to 7) MKnx00 1;2 Compact disc (SCSI ID 0 to 7) DKxn00 1;2 ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 x represents either A or B, determined by the SCSI port used by the device. 2 n represents the SCSI ID of that device. ------------------------------------------------------------ To set an alternative default boot device, enter the SET BOOT command using the OpenVMS device name of the alternative default boot device. For example, to set the system to boot over the network, enter the following command: >>> SET BOOT EZA0 2.4 Setting the Default Recovery Action There are five default recovery actions. You can change the default recovery action by entering the SET HALT command and the value or keyword associated with the action you want to set. Table 2-2 shows the five default recovery actions and their associated values. When the system is shipped, the default recovery action is set to halt. Table 2-2 Default Recovery Actions and Associated Values ------------------------------------------------------------ Recovery Action Keyword Associated Value Result ------------------------------------------------------------ DEFAULT 0 The default recovery action is HALT. RESTART 1 The system tries to restart the operating system. If it fails to restart the operating system, it halts. BOOT 2 The system tries to boot. If it fails to boot, it halts. HALT 3 The system halts and displays the console prompt. RESTART_REBOOT 4 The system tries to restart the operating system. If it fails to restart the operating system, it tries to boot. If it fails to boot, it halts. ------------------------------------------------------------ 2-8 Console Security Feature and System Defaults To set an alternative default recovery action, enter the SET HALT command using the value or keyword associated with the recovery action you want to set. For example, to set the system to halt, enter one of the following commands: >>> SET HALT 3 >>> SET HALT HALT Console Security Feature and System Defaults 2-9 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ Console Commands This chapter describes the console commands that you can enter when the system is in console mode. The system displays the console prompt (>>>) when it is in console mode. If the system is running the operating system software, see Chapter 2 for information on returning the system to console mode. If the console security feature is enabled and a security password is set, you must log in to privileged console mode before using most of these commands. See Chapter 2 for information on the console security feature. The following sections describe all the console commands, give the command format, and describe the significance of each parameter. The VAX Software Handbook contains a detailed description of each command and its parameters and qualifiers. 3.1 BOOT The BOOT command initializes the processor and executes the VMB (virtual memory block) program. The VMB program tries to boot the operating system from the specified device or list of devices, or from the default boot device if none is specified. The console qualifies the bootstrap operation by passing a boot flags bitmap to the VMB program in R5. Format: BOOT [qualifier-list] [{boot_device},{boot_device},...] If you do not enter either the qualifier or the device name, the default value is used. Explicitly stating the boot flags or the boot device overrides, but does not permanently change, the corresponding default value. When specifying a list of boot devices (up to 32 characters, with devices separated by commas and no spaces), the system checks the devices in the order specified and boots from the first one that contains bootable software. Console Commands 3-1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Note ------------------------------------------------------------ If you include the Ethernet device, EZA0, in a string of boot devices, it must be placed only as the last device of the string. The system continuously tries to boot from EZA0. ------------------------------------------------------------ Set the default boot device and boot flags using the SET BOOT and SET BFLAG commands. If you do not set a default boot device, the processor times out after 30 seconds and continuously tries to boot from the Ethernet device, EZA0. To disable the autoboot feature, use three periods in place of the device name for the SET BOOT command (SET BOOT . . . ). Qualifiers: Command specific: /R5:{boot_flags} A 32-bit hexadecimal value passed to the VMB program in R5. The console does not interpret this value. Use the SET BFLAG command to specify a default boot flags longword. Use the SHOW BFLAG command to display the longword. /{boot_flags} Same as /R5:{boot_flags} [device_name] A character string of up to 17 characters. Longer strings cause a VAL TOO BIG error message. When specifying a list of boot devices, separate the device names using commas. Do not use spaces. The console checks the length of the device name, but does not interpret or validate it. The console converts the string to uppercase, then passes the VMB program a string containing the device name in R0. Use the SET BOOT command to specify a default boot device or list of devices. Use the SHOW BOOT command to display the default boot device. The factory default device is the Ethernet device, EZA0. Table 2-1 lists the boot devices supported by the Model 90 system. Examples: >>>SHOW BOOT DKA300 >>>SHOW BFLAG 00000000 >>>B !Boot using default boot flags and device. (BOOT/R5:0 DKA300) 2.. -DKA300 3-2 Console Commands 3.2 CONTINUE The CONTINUE command causes the processor to begin instruction execution at the address currently contained in the program counter (PC). This address is the address stored in the PC when the system enters console mode or the address that the user specifies using the DEPOSIT command. The CONTINUE command does not perform a processor initialization. Format: CONTINUE Example: >>>CONTINUE $ !OpenVMS DCL prompt 3.3 DEPOSIT The DEPOSIT command deposits data into the address specified. If you do not specify an address space or data size qualifier, the console uses the last address space and data size used in a DEPOSIT, EXAMINE, MOVE, or SEARCH command. After processor initialization, the default address space is physical memory, the default data size is longword, and the default address is zero. If you specify conflicting address space or data sizes, the console ignores the command and issues an error message. Format: DEPOSIT [qualifier-list] {address} {data} [data...] Qualifiers: Data control: /B, /W, /L, /Q, /N:{count}, /STEP:{size}, /WRONG Address space control: /G, /I, /M, /P, /V, /U Arguments: {address} A longword address that specifies the first location into which data is deposited. The address can be an actual address or a symbolic address. {data} The data to be deposited. If the specified data is larger than the deposit data size, the firmware ignores the command and issues an error response. If the specified data is smaller than the deposit data size, the data is extended on the left with zeros. [{data}] Additional data to be deposited (as many as can fit on the command line). Console Commands 3-3 Examples: >>>D/P/B/N:1FF 0 0 ! Clear first 512 bytes of ! physical memory. >>>D/V/L/N:3 1234 5 ! Deposit 5 into four longwords ! starting at virtual memory address ! 1234. >>>D/N:8 R0 FFFFFFFF ! Loads GPRs R0 through R8 with -1. >>>D/L/P/N:10/ST:200 0 8 ! Deposit 8 in the first longword of ! the first 17 pages in physical ! memory. >>>D/N:200 - 0 ! Starting at previous address, clear ! 513 longwords or 2052 bytes. 3.4 EXAMINE The EXAMINE command examines the contents of the memory location or register specified by the address. If no address is specified, + is assumed. The display line consists of a single character address specifier, the physical address to be examined, and the examined data. EXAMINE uses the same qualifiers as DEPOSIT. However, the /WRONG qualifier causes EXAMINE to ignore ECC errors when reading from physical memory. The EXAMINE command also supports an /INSTRUCTION qualifier that disassembles the instructions at the current address. Format: EXAMINE [qualifier-list] [address] Qualifiers: Data control: /B, /W, /L, /Q, /N:{count}, /STEP:{size}, /WRONG Address space control: /G, /I, /M, /P, /V, /U Command specific: /INSTRUCTION Disassembles and displays the VAX MACRO-32 instruction at the specified address. Arguments: [{address}] A longword address that specifies the first location to be examined. The address can be an actual or a symbolic address. If no address is specified, + is assumed. 3-4 Console Commands Examples: >>>EX PC ! Examine the PC. G 0000000F FFFFFFFC >>>EX SP ! Examine the SP. G 0000000E 00000200 >>>EX PSL ! Examine the PSL.

P 20040048 DB MFPR S^#2B,B^48(R1) >>> 3.5 FIND The FIND command searches main memory, starting at address zero for a page-aligned 128K-byte segment of good memory, or a restart parameter block (RPB). If the command finds the segment or RPB, its address plus 512 is left in SP (R14). If it does not find the segment or RPB, the console issues an error message and preserves the contents of SP. If you do not specify a qualifier, /RPB is assumed. Format: FIND [qualifier-list] Console Commands 3-5 Qualifiers: Command specific: /MEMORY Searches memory for a page-aligned block of good memory, 128K bytes in length. The search checks only memory that is deemed usable by the bitmap. This command leaves the contents of memory unchanged. /RPB Searches all physical memory for an RPB. The search does not use the bitmap to qualify which pages are checked. The command leaves the contents of memory unchanged. Examples: >>>EX SP ! Check the SP. G 0000000E 00000000 >>>FIND /MEM ! Look for a valid 128 Kbytes. >>>EX SP ! Note where it was found. G 0000000E 00000200 >>>FIND /RPB ! Check for valid RPB. ?2C FND ERR 00C00004 !

Format: INITIALIZE The following registers are initialized: ------------------------------------------------------------ Register State at Initialization ------------------------------------------------------------ PSL 041F0000 IPL 1F ASTLVL 4 SISR 0 ICCS Bits <6> and <0> clear; the rest are unpredictable RXCS 0 TXCS 80 MAPEN 0 Caches Flushed Instruction buffer Unaffected Console previous reference Longword, physical, address 0 TODR Unaffected Main memory Unaffected General registers Unaffected Halt code Unaffected Bootstrap-in-progress flag Unaffected Internal restart-in-progress flag Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------ The firmware clears all error status bits and initializes the following: · CDAL bus timer · Address decode and match registers 3-8 Console Commands · Programmable timer interrupt vectors · QUART LPR register is set to 9600 baud Example: >>>INIT >>> 3.9 LOGIN Allows you to put the system in privileged console mode. When the console security feature is enabled (see Section 2.2) and when you put the system in console mode, the system operates in unprivileged console mode. You can access only a subset of the console commands. To access the full range of console commands, you must enter this command. The format of this command is as follows: LO[GIN] When you enter the command, the system prompts you for a password as follows: Password: You must enter the current console security password. If you do not enter the correct password, the system displays the error message, ILL PSWD. When you enter the console security password, the system operates in privileged console mode. In this mode, you can use all the console commands. The system exits from privileged console mode when you enter one of the following console commands: · BOOT · CONTINUE · HALT · START 3.10 MOVE The MOVE command copies the block of memory starting at the source address to a block beginning at the destination address. Typically, this command has an /N qualifier so that blocks of data are transferred. The destination correctly reflects the contents of the source, regardless of the overlap between the source and the data. Console Commands 3-9 The MOVE command performs byte, word, longword, and quadword reads and writes to moving the data efficiently. The MOVE command supports physical and virtual address spaces only. Format: MOVE [qualifier-list] {src_address} {dest_address} Qualifiers: Data control: /B, /W, /L, /Q, /N:{count}, /STEP:{size}, /WRONG Address space control: /V, /U, /P Arguments: {src_address} A longword address that specifies the first location of the source data to be copied. {dest_address} A longword address that specifies the destination of the first byte of data. These addresses may be an actual address or a symbolic address. If no address is specified, + is assumed. Examples: >>>EX/N:4 0 ! Observe destination.

If no count is specified, 1 is assumed. After the last macro instruction is executed, the console reenters console I/O mode. Format: NEXT {count} The console implements the NEXT command using the trace trap enable and trace pending bits in the PSL and the trace pending vector in the SCB. The console enters the Spacebar Step Mode. In this mode, pressing the spacebar initiates each single step, and a carriage return forces a return to the console prompt. The following restrictions apply: · If memory management is enabled, the NEXT command works only if the first page in SSC RAM is mapped in S0 (system) space. · Overhead associated with the NEXT command affects the execution time of an instruction. · The NEXT command elevates the IPL to 31 for long periods of time (milliseconds) while single-stepping over several commands. · Unpredictable results occur if the macro instruction being stepped over modifies either the SCBB or the trace trap entry. This means that you cannot use the NEXT command with other debuggers. You must validate PR$_SCCB before using the NEXT command. Arguments: {count} A value representing the number of macro instructions to execute. Examples: Console Commands 3-11 >>>DEP 1000 50D650D4 !

If the /NOT qualifier is present, the command reports all addresses in which the pattern did not match. Format: SEARCH [qualifier-list] {address} {pattern} [{mask}] SEARCH accepts an optional mask that indicates bits to be ignored (don't care bits). For example, to ignore bit 0 in the comparison, specify a mask of 1. The mask, if not present, defaults to 0. A match occurs if (pattern and not mask) = (data and not mask), where: Pattern is the target data Mask is the optional don't care bitmask (which defaults to 0) Data is the data at the current address Console Commands 3-13 SEARCH reports the address under the following conditions: ------------------------------------------------------------ /NOT Qualifier Match Condition Action ------------------------------------------------------------ Absent True Report address Absent False No report Present True No report Present False Report address ------------------------------------------------------------ The address is advanced by the size of the pattern (byte, word, longword, or quadword), unless it is overridden by the /STEP qualifier. Qualifiers: Data control: /B, /W, /L, /Q, /N:{count}, /STEP:{size}, /WRONG Address space control: /P, /V, /U Command specific: /NOT Inverts the sense of the match. Arguments: {start_ address} A longword address that specifies the first location subject to the search. This address can be an actual address or a symbolic address. If no address is specified, + is assumed. {pattern} The target data. [{mask}] A mask of the bits that the comparison checks for. Examples: 3-14 Console Commands >>>DEP /P/L/N:1000 0 0 !

If no address is given, the current PC is used. If memory mapping is enabled, macro instructions are executed from virtual memory, and the address is treated as a virtual address. The START command is equivalent to a DEPOSIT to PC, followed by a CONTINUE. It does not perform a processor initialization. Console Commands 3-19 Format: START [{address}] Arguments: [address] The address at which to begin execution. This address is loaded into the user 's PC. Example: >>>START 1000 3.17 TEST The TEST command invokes a diagnostic test program specified by the test number. If you enter a test number of 0 (zero), all tests that are allowed to be executed from the console terminal are executed. The console accepts an optional list of up to five additional hexadecimal arguments. You can see a full listing of all the tests by running test 9E. Format: TEST [{test_number} [{test_arguments}]] Arguments: {test_number} A two-digit hexadecimal number specifying the test to be executed. Test 9E displays a full list of all the available tests and their parameters. {test_arguments} Up to five additional test arguments. These arguments are accepted, but the console cannot interpret them. Example: >>>TEST 0 70..69..68..67..66..65..64..63..62..61..60..59..58..57..56..55.. 54..53..52..51..50..49..48..47..46..45..44..43..42..41..40..39.. 38..37..36..35..34..33..32..31..30..29..28..27..26..25..24..23.. 22..21..20..19..18..17..16..15..14..13..12..11..10..09..08..07.. 06..05..04..03.. Tests completed. 3-20 Console Commands 3.18 UNJAM The UNJAM command performs an I/O bus reset, by writing a 1 (one) to IPR 55 (decimal). Format: UNJAM Example: >>>UNJAM >>> 3.19 X--Binary Load and Unload The X command is for use by automatic systems communicating with the console. The X command loads or unloads (that is, writes to memory or reads from memory) the specified number of data bytes through the console serial line (regardless of console type) starting at the specified address. Format: X {address} {count} CR {line_checksum} {data} {data_checksum} Arguments: Console Commands 3-21 {address} The address to unload data from or load data to. {count} Indicates whether to load or unload data, and also indicates the amount of data to load or unload. If bit 31 of the count is clear, data is received by the console and put into memory. If bit 31 is set, data is read from memory and sent by the console. The remaining bits in the count are a positive number indicating the number of bytes to load or unload. CR The console accepts a load or unload command when it receives the carriage return. {line_checksum} The line_checksum is the next byte the console receives. The line_checksum is not echoed. The line_checksum is verified by adding all the command characters, including the checksum and separating space, into an 8-bit register initially set to zero. The line_checksum does not include the terminating carriage return, rubouts, or characters deleted by a rubout. If no errors occur, the result is zero. If the line_checksum is correct, the console responds with the input prompt and either sends data to the requester or prepares to receive data. If the line_checksum is in error, the console responds with an error message. This prevents the operator from inadvertently entering into a mode where the console accepts characters from the keyboard as data and does not provide an escape mechanism. {data} If the command is a load (bit 31 of the count is clear), the console responds with the input prompt (>>>), then accepts the specified number of bytes of data to be put into memory and an additional byte of received data_checksum. The data is verified by adding all data characters and the checksum character into an 8-bit register initially set to zero. If the final content of the register is nonzero, the data or checksum is in error, and the console responds with an error message. If the command is a binary unload (bit 31 of the count is set), the console responds with the input prompt (>>>), followed by the specified number of bytes of binary data. As each byte is sent, it is added to a checksum register initially set to zero. At the end of the transmission, the two's complement of the low byte of the register is sent. {data_checksum} If the data_checksum is incorrect on a load, or if memory or line errors occur during the transmission of data, the entire transmission is completed, and the console issues an error message. If an error occurs during loading, the contents of the memory being loaded are unpredictable. 3-22 Console Commands The console represses echo while it is receiving the data string and checksums. The console terminates all flow control when it receives the carriage return at the end of the command line to avoid treating flow control characters from the terminal as valid command line checksums. 3.19.1 Controlling the Console Serial Line You can control the console serial line during a binary unload using the control keys (Ctrl/C, Ctrl/S, Ctrl/O, and so on). You cannot control the console serial line during a binary load, because all received characters are valid binary data. The console has the following timing requirements: · It must receive data being loaded with a binary load command at a rate of at least 1 byte every 60 seconds. · It must receive the command checksum that precedes the data within 60 seconds of the carriage return that terminates the command line. · It must receive the data checksum within 60 seconds of the last data byte. If any of these timing requirements are not met, then the console aborts the transmission by issuing an error message and returning to the console prompt. The entire command, including the checksum, can be sent to the console as a single burst of characters at the specified character rate of the console serial line. The console is able to receive at least 4K bytes of data in a single X command. 3.20 ! (Comment) The comment character (an exclamation point) is used to document command sequences. It can be placed anywhere on the command line. All characters following the comment character are ignored. Format: ! Example: >>>! The console ignores this line. >>> Console Commands 3-23 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ Hardware Specifications This chapter lists the hardware specifications of the following: · System unit · Internal SCSI device 4.1 System Unit Specifications The following tables list the specifications for the Model 90 system.
