Running Scf; Entering Scf Commands; Scf Commands For Managing Your Scf Session - HP T9576G06 Management Manual

Introduction to SCF for the SNMP Agent

Running SCF

You can run SCF interactively or noninteractively. SCF can accept input from either a
terminal or a command file (OBEY file) and can direct output to either a terminal, disk
file, or printer.
In its simplest form, the syntax for running SCF from TACL is as follows:
[ RUN ] [[$vol.]subvol.]SCF [ /run-options/ ]
For detailed information on running SCF, its valid run options, and input sources and
output destinations, see either the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series Releases (for
systems running a G-series RVU of the NonStop Kernel) or the SCF Reference Manual
for H-Series RVUs (for systems running an H-series RVUs of the NonStop Kernel).
Note. In this manual, all examples assume that a terminal is being used for both input and
output.
At the beginning of an SCF session, SCF displays its product banner. The product
banner includes the HP product name, product number, version number, release date,
and copyright statement.
SCF indicates it is ready to process commands by displaying its prompt (->). You can
change this prompt with the SETPROMPT command.
SCF waits for a command, followed by a return. After it receives and processes the
command, SCF displays its prompt for the next command.

Entering SCF Commands

An SCF command always begins with a keyword identifying the command (such as
START, VOLUME, or TRACE).
Some SCF commands let you control your SCF session. Others allow you to manage
and inquire about objects in particular HP subsystems.
The HELP command displays information about SCF sessions in general and also
about SCF as it applies to specific subsystems. For more information, see
Help on page 4-24.

SCF Commands for Managing Your SCF Session

To issue a command that pertains to your current SCF session, follow the command
with whatever additional information is required to direct the action. For example, the
following SETPROMPT command causes SCF to display the current system name in
its prompt:
-> SETPROMPT SYSTEM
