4.5 Booting with Controlled Startup
4. After the system boots, log in and enter the following commands to invoke
SYSMAN and clear the STARTUP_P2 parameter you set in step 2:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
SYSMAN> PARAMETERS USE CURRENT
SYSMAN> PARAMETERS SET STARTUP_P2 ""
SYSMAN> PARAMETERS WRITE CURRENT
Example
[perform a conversational boot]
SYSBOOT> SET STARTUP_P2 "YES"
SYSBOOT> CONTINUE
[system completes booting]

4.5.5 Displaying Startup Procedure Commands with SYSMAN
In addition to performing a conversational boot to display startup procedures, you
can use SYSMAN to display startup status with the STARTUP SET OPTIONS
command. The advantage of using SYSMAN is that you can obtain verification
and logging for multiple nodes at a time.
SYSMAN startup logging redefines STARTUP_P2 to specify:
• The amount of debugging information STARTUP.COM displays
• Whether to keep a log of the startup
The STARTUP SET OPTIONS command provides the options shown in
Table 4–2.
Table 4–2 Startup Logging Options
Option Function
/VERIFY=FULL Displays every line of DCL executed by component startup
procedures and by STARTUP.COM.
/VERIFY=PARTIAL Displays every line of DCL executed by component
startup procedures, but does not display DCL executed by
STARTUP.COM.
/OUTPUT=FILE
/OUTPUT=CONSOLE
Creates SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSEXE]STARTUP.LOG, which
contains all of the output generated by startup procedures.
Alternatively, you can display the output on the console.
/CHECKPOINTING Displays informational messages describing the time and
status of each startup phase and component file.
How to Perform This Task
1. At the DCL prompt ($), enter the following command:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN
2. At the SYSMAN> prompt, enter the following command:
SYSMAN> STARTUP SET OPTIONS/[qualifier]
