ACCESSING DYNAMIC MANAGEMENT
The Dynamic Management feature provides a “real-time” management mechanism that allows
changes to system parameters without interrupting the current execution state of the system
software. This feature consists of a series of console commands that allow you to display current
system parameters, change many parameters dynamically, and write changes to disk files so that
they remain permanent.
All dynamic management commands must be issued through a special mode of operation called
Manage Mode. To enter Manage Mode, type the following command at the system prompt:
>manage
Once Manage Mode is entered, the prompt changes from
“>”
to “MANAGE>“.While operating
in Manage Mode, Manage Mode commands are the only commands available. All other system
commands are ignored until you enter the
exit
command to return to normal system command
mode.
