FIND operates inH    one of two modes, it either displays information read directly out ofH    the  index file, or it asks the disk ACP to return header informationH    to it.  The first mode of operation is used for general searches, andH    does  not necessarily return the most current up to date information,H    as there may be many headers cached in memory, and thus out of  synchH    with  the  index file.  The second mode of operation is used when youH    specify a /FILE_ID or /FULLNAME qualifier, giving it an explicit listH    of  files  to  work  with.  In this case it asks the disk ACP for theH    headers, thus getting  the  most  current,  up  to  date  informationH    available,  if possible.  Note that in either case, the index file isH    opened for read acces, thus to use this utility, you must  have  readH    access  to  the  file  [000000]INDEXF.SYS,  and  if using /FILE_ID orC    /FULLNAME you must also have read access to the requested files.   H    FIND takes one paramater, the name of the device whose index file  isH    to  be  searched.   If  device-name  is  not specified it defaults toH    SYS$DISK (your current default disk).  It  correctly  handles  rooted7    device names, and can handle multi-volume disk sets.   H    You may limit what files will be displayed by using  the  appropriateH    qualifiers.   Most  of  the qualifiers that affect what files will beH    displayed allow a minimum and maximum value, if you do not specify  aH    maximum  value,  then  it is assumed you want all things greater thanH    the minimum.  If you want a specific value, than you must enter it as+    both the minimum and maximum value, i.e. $         $ FIND/ALLOCATED=(1497,1497)>    would display all files with exactly 1497 blocks allocated.    #   Additional information available:      Examples   Input_Qualifiers    /FILE_ID   /FULLNAME  /VOLUME    Output_qualifiers    /OUTPUT    /DISPLAY    Selection_qualifiersI   /MATCH     /ACE       /ACL       /ATTRIBUTES           /CHARACTERISTICS (   /JOURNAL   /ORGANIZATION         /TYPE<   /ACCESS_MODE          /CREATION_DATE        /REVISION_DATE$   /EXPIRATION_DATE      /BACKUP_DATE:   /ACTIVE_RECOVERY_UNITS           /ALLOCATED /BUCKET_SIZE5   /DEFAULT_EXTEND_QUANTITY         /DIRECTORY_FILE_ID A   /EXTENTS   /FIRST_FREE_BYTE      /GLOBAL_BUFFER_COUNT  /HEADERS 7   /HIGHWATER_MARK       /LBN       /MAXIMUM_RECORD_SIZE C   /RECORD_SIZE          /NAME      /NUMBER_OF_REVISIONS  /OWNER_UIC 1   /PROTECTION           /USED      /VERSION_LIMIT -   /VFC_SIZE  /WASTED_BLOCKS        /PLACEMENT   - The VMS Freeware V7 FIND looks more like GREP   + Does anyone know more of the original FIND?    --   Peter "EPLAN" LANGSTOEGER % Network and OpenVMS system specialist  E-mail  peter@langstoeger.atF A-1030 VIENNA  AUSTRIA              I'm not a pessimist, I'm a realist   ------------------------------  # Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2006 14:03:31 GMT & From: John Reagan <john.reagan@hp.com>, Subject: Re: FIND Utility with ODS5 Support?1 Message-ID: <T0vYf.5775$Fu6.968@news.cpqcorp.net>     Peter 'EPLAN' LANGSTOEGER wrote:B > Does anyone know if the FIND utility already supports ODS5 disksE > (and OpenVMS V8) and where to find it (if its not at Hunter's FTP)?  >  > TIA  >   A I would expect the 'find' inside of GNV to handle ODS5 filenames.    --   John Reagan / HP Pascal/{A|I}MACRO for OpenVMS Project Leader  Hewlett-Packard Company    ------------------------------  % Date: Tue, 04 Apr 2006 07:24:42 -0700 # From: "Tom Linden" <tom@kednos.com> , Subject: Re: FIND Utility with ODS5 Support?) Message-ID: <op.s7hmbgq7zgicya@hyrrokkin>   ? On Tue, 04 Apr 2006 07:38:54 -0700, Peter 'EPLAN' LANGSTOEGER    <peter@langstoeger.at> wrote:   - > Does anyone know more of the original FIND?   4 What did it do?

I don't know how to set the switch explicitly,C my guess is it autosenses the speed and duplex.  VMS and Alphas are F notorious for not autonegotiating well.  (Many patches over the years,E I don't know if it all works fine now in V7.3-2/V8.2 with all current 	 patches.)   F One thing I've discovered with non-manageable switches is after you'veD set the speed/duplex in the console (i.e. >>> set ewa0_mode FastFD),F and booted so the new speed has taken effect unplug the ethernet cableF for at least 30 seconds so the switch will reset, then plug it back inF and check that it is now working okay.  You may have to repeat once orE twice to get it right.  After the switch syncs up correctly, at least F with the switches I've used, it remembers the settings forever, so you% should only have to do this one time.   F (Unplugging the the Ethernet could be problematical if you are runningA a cluster over it.  You may need to bump RECNXINTERVAL to several 7 minutes on all nodes first to prevent CLUEXIT crashes.)   A The typical symptom of a duplex mismatch is getting lots of frame A check and alignment errors, especially under heavy load.  You may A need to be running DECnet-plus to see these on the console/OPCOM, 1 but LANCP show device/count should show them too.   C However, if it really is dropping alternate pings (and not just 50% @ of them randomly), I think it is more likely the routing problem David alluded to.   ? > Well, thanks everyone for taking the time to suggest options.  > 8 > Chuck's Circular Routing and Network-Wasp-Nest Service >   
