Reference section: initial configutation of OpenVMS

Updated 2021-03-20, by Ton van der Zwet

Description of the initial configuration of Alpha OpenVMS.


We prepared a disk containing the files we need during the following sessions. In the directory [download] all the distributionsets of patches, layered and third party products are collected. In the direcctory [build] are the hobbyistlicense files obtained from the hobbyist program. You may need to edit the files to remove the linewrapping. For information about the OpenVMS hobbyist see your local VMS sig or Montagar Software Concepts.

We increase the pagefilesize quite dramaticly because we expect to work with a few people on the build of OpenOffice. As this is a mayor project we don't want to run into a 'pagefile badly fragmented' situation...;-) If you work alone or are just doing 'normal' things you probably won't need to increase the pagefilesize.

$ @sys$update:swapfiles
To leave a file size at its current value type a
carriage return in response to its size prompt.
Current file sizes are:

Directory SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]

PAGEFILE.SYS;1          1056800
SYSDUMP.DMP;1            200822
SWAPFILE.SYS;1            44200

Total of 3 files, 1301822 blocks.

There are 15091497 available blocks on SYS$SYSDEVICE.

Enter new size for paging file: 5000000

Enter new size for system dump file: <return>
Enter new size for swapping file: <return>

************************************************************************
*  Please reboot in order for the new files to be used by the system.  *
*  After rebooting, purge obsolete copies of the files.                *
*  DO NOT delete the old files until after the reboot.                 *

We discovered in the early porting days that using shadowed disks not only saved the day in case of diskfailures, but that avoiding the '$' sign in disknames made porting more easy. Unix (and thus GNV) thought that whereever there is a $ sign, it had to do something we didn't expect...;-) So every disk we use is at least a single member shadowset.

Processing Parameter Data files
-------------------------------

Including parameters from: SYS$SYSTEM:MODPARAMS.DAT

The following concerns were detected within MODPARAMS.DAT

** Note ** - Multiple ADD values for ADD_GBLSECTIONS found.
        VMS value (280) combining with MODPARAMS value (512)
        Value used is 792

** Note ** - Multiple MIN values found for MIN_GBLSECTIONS.
        Using MODPARAMS value (2000) which is superseding VMS value (600)

** Note ** - Multiple MIN values found for MIN_GBLPAGES.
        Using MODPARAMS value (40000000) which is superseding VMS value (150000)

** WARNING ** - The system was up for less than 24 hours (uptime = 0 hrs)
   when the feedback information was recorded. This could result in feedback
   information that does not accurately reflect your typical workload.

We don't need the transaction log, but we don't mind it being there. So just get rid of the nasty warning during the boot.

$ mcr lmcp
 
Log Manager Control Program V1.1
 
LMCP> create log/size=5000 SYS$JOURNAL:SYSTEM$STAR.LM$JOURNAL
Transaction log SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]SYSTEM$STAR.LM$JOURNAL;1 created.
LMCP> Exit 
$ 
	

By the way you can disable the transaction manager completely if you want. Add the following line to the SYS$MANAGER:SYLOGICALS.COM command procedure:

$ !
$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE_MODE SYS$DECDTM_INHIBIT yes
$ !
	

This stops the TP_SERVER process being created the next time you boot the system.

As we will be accessing a lot of help libraries, make it as fast as possible..
