6.7 Console Commands for Interleaving

The SET MEMORY command is used to set memory inter-

leaving in a conﬁguration other than the default. This is not

usually advisable, but occasional customer use will warrant

overriding the original console setting of the interleave. The

INITIALIZE command causes both <REFERENCE>(6000) sys-

tems to execute <REFERENCE>(xma2) self-tests and the SET

MEMORY commands to take effect.

Example 6–1: SET MEMORY and INITIALIZE Commands

>>> SET MEMORY /INTERLEAVE:DEFAULT

! For a system with one 64-Mbyte and two

! 32-Mbyte memory modules, it creates a 2-way

! interleave of 64-Mbyte memory modules

! (1x64-Mbyte and 2x32-Mbyte memory modules)

! located at XMI nodes A, 9, and 8.

>>> SHOW MEMORY

! Displays the memory lines from self-test.

/INTERLEAVE:DEFAULT

>>> SET MEMORY /INTERLEAVE:(8, 9+A)

! sets with modules in nodes 8, 9, and A).

[self-test display]
