5. For OpenVMS systems, change the operating system for each connection. Enter the
following CLI command:
SET !NEWCONnn OPERATING_SYSTEM = VMS
6. Verify that the connection between the host and the switch has been made by entering
this CLI command:
SHOW CONNECTIONS
NOTE: You can also verify that a connection has been made by looking for the illuminated green
LED that flashes on the switch ports.
You will see a display similar to the following:
Connection Unit
Name Operating system Controller Port Address Status Offset
!NEWCON00 VMS THIS 1 210013 offline 0
HOST_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn ADAPTER_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn
!NEWCON01 VMS OTHER 1 200013 offline 0
HOST_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn ADAPTER_ID=nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn
Rename the Host Connections
To better identify which hosts you are working with, Compaq recommends that you
rename the host connections using a meaningful connection name. Each host bus adapter
will appear as a connection. An individual host bus adapter can be identified by its
worldwide name that you recorded in the Getting Started chapter and appears in the
connection description.
Initially, each connection is named !NEWCONxx. It is much easier to track connections if
the connection names are meaningful, for example: HostnameA1.
Figure 4–6 is a helpful worksheet to use when renaming your hosts. Fill in the fields
accordingly to prepare for renaming your connections.
