The followings upper-case strings are not case sensitive:

DG* or DK* or GK* for Logical Device Name

-CLI or -FCA(-FHORC) or -FBC(-FMRCF) for the pair* command options

-CLI or -CLIWP or -CLIWN or -CM for the inqraid options

Environmental variable name such as HORCMINST … controlled by CRTL

Also you need to define the following logical name to your login.com in order to distinguish the
uppercase and the lowercase:

$ DEFINE DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE ENABLE$ SET PROCESS/PARSE_STYLE=EXTENDED

(10) Regarding using spawn command

You can also start the HORCM process easily by using the spawn command. The following examples
used SPAWN command on DCL.

For example, using spawn:

$ spawn /NOWAIT /PROCESS=horcm0 horcmstart 0
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process HORCM0 spawned
$
starting HORCM inst 0
$ spawn /NOWAIT /PROCESS=horcm1 horcmstart 1
%DCL-S-SPAWNED, process HORCM1 spawned
$
starting HORCM inst 1
$

The subprocess (HORCM) created by SPAWN is terminated when the terminal is LOGOFF or the
session is terminated. If you want independence Process to the terminal LOGOFF, then use the
"RUN /DETACHED" command.

(11) Privileges for using RAID Manager

A user account for RAID Manager must have the same privileges as "SYSTEM" that can use
the SCSI Class driver and Mailbox driver directly.

Some OpenVMS system administrators may not allow RAID Manager to run from the system
account (equivalent to root on UNIX). Therefore, create another RAID Manager account on
the system, such as "RMadmin," that has the equivalent privileges to "SYSTEM". In this way,
it is not necessary for system administrators to share the system passwords.

RAID Manager uses the Mailbox driver to enable communication between RAID Manager and
HORCM. Therefore, RAID Manager and HORCM must have the same privileges.

If RAID Manager and HORCM are executing in different privileges (different user), then RAID
Manager hangs or is unable to attach to HORCM because RAID Manager and HORCM are
denied communication through the Mailbox.

(12) Installation

RAID Manager is provided a file for installing, for example the following PCSI (PolyCenter Software
Installation) file.

- HITACHI-ARMVMS-RM-V0122-2-1.PCSI - HITACHI-I64VMS-RM-V0122-2-1.PCSI

RAID Manager also requires that POSIX_ROOT be on the system, so you must define the
POSIX_ROOT before installing RAID Manager.

It is recommended that you previously define the three logical names shown below for RAID
Manager in LOGIN.COM.

$ DEFINE/TRANSLATION=(CONCEALED,TERMINAL) SYS$POSIX_ROOT "

Device:[directory]"

$ DEFINE DCL$PATH SYS$POSIX_ROOT:[horcm.usr.bin],SYS$POSIX_ROOT:[horcm.etc]
$ DEFINE/TABLE=LNM$PROCESS_DIRECTORY LNM$TEMPORARY_MAILBOX LNM$GROUP
