Table 5–9: INITIALIZE Command Qualiﬁers

Qualiﬁer Meaning

/B[I]:<VAXBI-node> Can be used only if the speciﬁed XMI node is a DWMBB/A.

This qualiﬁer resets the single adapter at node <VAXBI-

node> on the speciﬁed VAXBI.

None If no XMI node number is given and a /BI qualiﬁer is omit-

ted, the system resets all nodes on the XMI (and op-

tional VAXBI) and prints out self-test results.

The INITIALIZE command syntax is:

I[NITIALIZE] [/qualifiers] [<XMI-node>]

where <XMI-node> indicates the XMI node to be initialized.

The INITIALIZE command can be used to reset the system or a speciﬁed

node — except memory nodes. If <XMI-node> is omitted, the entire system

is reset. If the /BIqualiﬁeris used, theXMInode is a DWMBB that connects

to the VAXBI bus containing the VAXBI node to be initialized. If the <XMI-

node> is a DWMBB and the /BI qualiﬁer is not used, then all devices on

the VAXBI bus are reset.

The INITIALIZE command and the Restart button on the system control

panel perform the same function: they both reset the machine.

If the node number you designate in an INITIALIZE command does not

have a module in it, you receive an error message of the form:

?0043 Unable to initialize node.

If the node number speciﬁes a memory module, you receive this message:

?0049 Memory cannot be initialized.

Self-test results are displayed after a system reset but not after a node

reset. See Section 6.2 through Section 6.7 for how to interpret self-test

results.
