SYNOPSIS
sysconfigdb {-a | -u} [-t target] -f file subsystem-name
sysconfigdb {-m | -r} [-t target] -f file subsystem-name
sysconfigdb -d [-t target] subsystem-name
sysconfigdb -l [-t target] [subsystem-name, ...]
1 – FLAGS
-a Adds the specified subsystem entry to the target
file.
-d Deletes the specified subsystem entry from the
target file.
-f file Specifies the input file, a stanza file that
contains entries for one or more subsystems. The
default target file is the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file.
Specify another target file by using the -t target
flag.
-l Lists the specified subsystem entries in the
target file. If you do not specify a subsystem
name, all subsystem entries in the target file are
listed. The SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file is the default
target file.
-m Merges subsystem attributes specified in the input
file with the subsystem attributes in the target
file. If you do not specify a subsystem name, all
subsystem entries in the input file are merged.
The SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file is the default target
file.
-r Removes the subsystem entries specified in the
input file from the target file. The only entries
removed are those that have attribute names and
values that exactly match those in the input
file. If you do not specify the subsystem name,
all subsystem entries in the input file with
attributes that match are removed from the target
file. The SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file is the default
target database file.
-t file Specifies the target file for the operation. If
you do not specify this flag, the default target
file is the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file.
-u Replaces a subsystem entry in the target file with
the subsystem entry specified in the input file.
2 – DESCRIPTION
The sysconfigdb utility is used to manage the subsystem
configuration table (TCPIP$ETC:SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT). To specify
another file as a target file, use the -t flag.
To modify a target file, create a stanza file. This stanza file
contains the name of one or more subsystems, each with a list
of attributes and their values, as described in the HP TCP/IP
Services for OpenVMS Tuning and Troubleshooting manual.
Modifications that you make to the sysconfigtab are changed the
next time the subsystem is reloaded.
When the target file is another file, there is no synchronization
with the subsystem configuration database.
3 – RESTRICTIONS
You must have system management privileges to run the sysconfigdb
utility to modify the system configuration table.
4 – PARAMETERS
subsystem-name Specifies a subsystem that contains the
attributes you want to modify. The subsystem
name and attributes are in a stanza input
file.
You must specify the subsystem name when
deleting (-d), adding (-a), or replacing (-u)
a subsystem.
In other cases, when you do not specify a
subsystem name, the operation is attempted for
all the subsystems and attributes specified in
the input file.
5 – EXAMPLES
1. To replace the table_mgr_1 entry in the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file
with the information in the TABLE_MGR.STANZA file for the
table_mgr_1 subsystem, use the following command. The command
updates the in-memory copy of the subsystem configuration
database to match the modified SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file.
TCPIP> sysconfigdb -u -f table_mgr.stanza table_mgr_1
2. To merge the tbl_mgr_2 information from the table_mgr.stanza
file with the information already in the tbl_mgr_2 entry
in the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file, use the following command.
The command updates the in-memory copy of the subsystem
configuration database to match the modified SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT
file.
TCPIP> sysconfigdb -m -f table_mgr.stanza tbl_mgr_2
3. To list the entry for the subsystem table_mgr_1, use the
following command. This command does not update the in-memory
copy of the subsystem configuration database.
TCPIP> sysconfigdb -l table_mgr_1
table_mgr_1:
size = 10
name = Ten-Element-Table
4. To delete the table_mgr_1 entry from the SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file
and update the in-memory copy of the subsystem configuration
database to match the modified SYSCONFIGTAB.DAT file, use the
following command:
TCPIP> sysconfigdb -d table_mgr_1
