OPEN QUESTIONS TO ALL NEWS READERS

1.
If you have just added 32mb memory to a 32mb memory machine (VAX4300) what 
would be the main parameters changes to be made, apart from Working Sets and 
why.

2.
Using what tools could you show a need for more processor power on a 6310.

3.
Does anyone know the full table of classes for OPC$OPA0_CLASSES as the
manual is not available.

Just run autogen, it really does a pretty good job with adding memory (it DOES
get confused when you remove it).

Use MONITOR.  If you're COMPUTE bound you could argue for another processor,
but remember that more processors won't help IO bound systems.

Do a REPLY/ENABLE and you should see the entire list.  I believe HELP REPLY
will also, eventually, let you figure out all the available operator classes.

	Here is the standard listing out of sylogicals.template
$!
$! The state of the operator on OPA0:, and the state of the operator logfile,
$! can be controlled by defining logical names here in SYLOGICALS.COM.  Any
$! commands to enable or disable operator classes in other system startup
$! procedures should be removed, and the appropriate logical names defined here.
$!
$! By default, the operator states are:
$!
$!	For all systems except workstations in a VAXcluster:
$!
$!		OPA0: is enabled for all classes.
$!		The log file SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG is opened for all classes.
$!
$!	For workstations in a VAXcluster:
$!
$!		OPA0: is not enabled.*
$!		No log file is opened.
$!
$!		 * OPA0: will be also be SET TERMINAL/PERMANENT/NOBROADCAST
$!
$! To override the default enabled classes, define the following /SYSTEM
$! logical names.
$!
$!	OPC$OPA0_ENABLE
$!
$!		If defined to be true, then OPA0: is enabled as an operator.  If
$!		defined to be false, then OPA0: is not enabled as an operator.
$!
$!	OPC$OPA0_CLASSES
$!
$!		This logical defines the operator classes to be enabled on
$!		OPA0:.  The logical can be a search list of the allowed	
$!		classes, a list of classes, or a combination of the two, for
$!		example: 
$!
$!			$ DEFINE /SYSTEM OPC$OPA0_CLASSES CENTRAL,DISKS,TAPE 
$!			$ DEFINE /SYSTEM OPC$OPA0_CLASSES "CENTRAL,DISKS,TAPE" 
$!			$ DEFINE /SYSTEM OPC$OPA0_CLASSES "CENTRAL,DISKS",TAPE 
$!
$!	Note that OPC$OPA0_CLASSES can be defined even if OPC$OPA0_ENABLE is
$!	not defined.  In that case, the classes are used for any operators
$!	that are enabled, but the default is used to determine whether or not
$!	to enable the operator.
$!
$!	OPC$LOGFILE_ENABLE
$!
$!		If defined to be true, then an operator log file is opened.
$!		If defined to be false, then no log file is opened.
$!
$!	OPC$LOGFILE_CLASSES
$!
$!		This logical defines the operator classes to be enabled for
$!		the log file.  The logical can be a search list of the allowed
$!		classes, a comma-separated list, or a combination of the two.
$!		OPC$LOGFILE_CLASSES can be defined even if OPC$LOGFILE_ENABLE
$!		is not defined.
$!
$!	OPC$LOGFILE_NAME
$!
$!		This logical supplies information to be used in conjunction
$!		with the default name SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG to define the
$!		name of the log file.  If the log file is directed to a disk
$!		other than the system disk, commands to mount that disk should
$!		be included in the command procedure SYLOGICALS.COM.  This
$!		logfile name will be used whenever a logfile is recreated.
$!
$!	Note that only OPC$LOGFILE_NAME is used for more than the initial
$!	startup of OPCOM.  For example, issuing the command REPLY/LOG will
$!	open a new file with the specified name and with all classes enabled
$!	(OPC$LOGFILE_ENABLE and OPC$LOGFILE_CLASSES are ignored).	
$!
$!  The list of all operator classes is:
$!
$!	CENTRAL,PRINTER,TAPES,DISKS,DEVICES,CARDS,NETWORK,CLUSTER,
$!	SECURITY,LICENSE,OPER1,OPER2,OPER3,OPER4,OPER5,OPER6,
$!	OPER7,OPER8,OPER9,OPER10,OPER11,OPER12
$!
$!  Operator classes can be redefined via logical names.  For example, a site
$!  could decide that the site-specific operator OPER1 should be known as
$!  operator class SYSTEM_MANAGER.  This would be done via:
$!
$!		$ DEFINE /SYSTEM  SYSTEM_MANAGER  OPER1
$!
$!  Thereafter, the system manager could do a REPLY/ENABLE=SYSTEM_MANAGER,
$!  users could do REQUEST /TO=SYSTEM_MANAGER, etc.
$!
$!
