46 Device Statistics Dialog Box

The Device Statistics dialog box has three panels that display data about a device in a configuration window:

The information in each panel differs according to the device. Not all devices have information in all the panels.

You can change the data in any field in the dialog box. When you draw a new device, each field in the Device Statistics dialog box is initialized to a value. In most cases, the value reflects a new device and the settings are generic (for example, mf1 or 0.00); however, you may find some values reflect the device of the same type that you previously specified. You should change the appropriate fields (such as name and type) to reflect the actual device that you are configuring. When you change a value you must also change its corresponding values; that is, if you specify a model that has more than one CPU, you must set the ncpu field to reflect the correct number of CPUs. If you wish to change the CPU model to a type other than the current value (for example, from a VAX CPU to an AXP CPU), you must first change the operating system to one appropriate to the new CPU model. For example, change the operating system from OpenVMS VAX to OpenVMS AXP or Digital UNIX for an AXP CPU such as DEC10640.

There are Device Statistics dialog boxes for each of the following devices:
