The Dynamic Management feature provides a real-time management mechanism; allowing you to
change the system's configuration without interrupting the execution of the system software. This
feature consists of console commands that enable you to display current system parameter, change
many parameters dynamically, and write changes to disk files so that they remain permanent.
However, Manage Mode does have its limitations. Therefore, you will generally need to use both
CFGEDIT and Manage Mode in order to make all appropriate configuration changes.
Configuration changes made using Manage Mode are not recognized by SFVRA-CFG. Therefore,
once you use Manage Mode, you cannot use SFVRA-CFG. This documentation is written under the
assumption that you will use SFVRA-CFG. However, if you plan on using Manage Mode, refer to
the Central Site documentation, which is included on the CD-ROM for just such a purpose.
Before using Dynamic Management commands, you must first enter the special Manage Mode by
typing the following command at the system prompt:
>manage
Once Manage Mode is entered, the prompt changes from [system name]> to [system name]:
MANAGE>. While operating in Manage Mode, only Dynamic Management commands are available.
All other system commands are ignored until you exit Manage Mode.
The <CTRL><C> key sequence will terminate the current command and return you to the
MANAGE> prompt. This is useful if you are in the process of responding to a series of prompts and
you wish to abort the command without responding to the remaining prompts.
Note: To use a command, you may enter the full command name as it appears in the HELP list,
or you may shorten the command to the point that it can still be distinguished from all
other Dynamic Management commands.
