    1.$ SHOW DEVICES

      In this example, the SHOW DEVICES command displays the
      following information for each device on the system:

      o  Device name

      o  Device status and characteristics (status indicates whether
         the device is on line; characteristics indicate whether the
         device is allocated, is spooled, has a volume mounted on it,
         or has a foreign volume mounted on it)

      o  Error count

      o  Volume label (for disk and tape volumes only)

      o  Number of free blocks on the volume

      o  Transaction count

      o  Number of mount requests issued for the volume (disk devices
         only)

    2.$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL DKB0:

      In this example, the user requested a full display of
      information about each device on NODE2 in the OpenVMS Cluster.
      Information is shown here only for the first two devices: a
      mounted device and a device that is not mounted.

    5.$ SHOW DEVICE $1$DKB1:/FULL

      $1$DKB6: (rvn 32).

      In this example, the user requested a full display on a
      VAX system of a device contained on a member of an ISO 9660
      partially mounted volume set. Note the volume status displays
      the media format as ISO 9660, and the volume set list shows a
      sparce list of the currently mounted members of the volume set.

    6.$ SHOW DEVICES MUA1/FULL

      Magtape $4$MUA1: (HSC70), device type TA79, is online, device is

      Volume status:  no-unload on dismount, odd parity.

      In this example, the user requested a full display of the tape
      device MUA1.

    7.$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL $1$DKA221

      Disk $1$DKA221: (HSC952), device type RZ29, is online, mounted,
          file-oriented device, shareable, available to cluster, error
          logging is enabled.

          subsystems enabled, file high-water marking, write-through
          caching enabled.
      Volume is also mounted on MEAD.

      This disk is a device that performs its I/O through the Fast
      Path port PNA0. Fast Path is enabled for this disk, and its
      I/O will be processed on the preferred CPU, CPU 1, which is
      associated with its Fast Path port PNA0.

      The /FULL qualifier also displays additional information about
      Fast Path devices. A Fast Path device may be either a class
      device or a port device. An example of a class device is an
      HSC disk, and an example of a port device is the CI. For both
      Fast Path class devices and ports, the display indicates that
      Fast Path is enabled and lists the current CPU ID to which that
      device is assigned. Additionally, for a Fast Path port, the
      display indicates the port's user-established CPU preference
      (if any).

      The current preferred CPU and the User Preferred CPU can be
      set by using the DCL command, SET DEVICES/PREFERRED_CPU, or by
      issuing a $QIO.

      For more information about using Fast Path features to improve
      I/O performance, refer to the OpenVMS I/O User's Reference
      Manual.

    8.$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL PNA0

      Device PNA0:, device type CIXCD, is online, shareable, error logging
          is enabled.

       Error count                 0  Operations completed              0
       Owner process              ""  Owner UIC                  [SYSTEM]

       Current preferred CPU Id    1  FastPath                          1

      The above display shows that port PNA0 is assigned to CPU 1 and
      that Fast Path is enabled.

    9.$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL PNA0

      Device PNA0:, device type CIXCD, is online, shareable, error logging
      is enabled.

       Error count                   0  Operations completed             0
       Owner process                ""  Owner UIC                 [SYSTEM]
       Owner process ID       00000000  Dev Prot         S:RWPL,O:RWPL,G,W
       Reference count               0  Default buffer size              0
       Current preferred CPU Id      1  FastPath                         1
       User preferred CPU Id         2

      This example shows a Fast Path assignment made by a user.

      Normally, the User Preferred CPU ID matches the current
      preferred CPU ID. The reason for the mismatch in the above
      display is because CPU 2 was stopped. The port was previously
      assigned to CPU 2. But when CPU 2 was stopped, the operating
      system moved the port assignment from CPU 2 to CPU 1.

      If CPU 2 were started, the operating system would assign the
      device to the User Preferred CPU.

    10$ SHOW DEVICE/FULL DSA0

      Disk DSA0:, device type RAM Disk, is online, mounted, file-oriented
        device, shareable, available to cluster, error logging is enabled,
        device supports bitmaps (no bitmaps active).

       Error count                 0  Operations completed               47

      Disk $252$MDA0:, device type RAM Disk, is online, member of shadow set DSA0:.

       Error count                 0  Shadow member operation count    128
       Allocation class          252

      Disk $252$MDA1:, device type RAM Disk, is online, member of shadow set DSA0:.

       Error count                 0  Shadow member operation count    157
       Allocation class          252

      This example shows that a write bitmap exists for a shadow set,
      and that no write bitmap is active. If a shadow set supports
      write bitmaps, "device supports bitmaps" is displayed along
      with either "bitmaps active" or "no bitmaps active". If the
      device does not support write bitmaps, no message pertaining to
      write bitmaps is displayed.

    11$ SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP DSA1
      Device         BitMap     Size         Percent of
      Name            ID       (Bytes)       Full Copy
      DSA12:         00010001   652          11%

      This example shows a SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP display. You can find
      out the ID of each write bitmap on a node with this command.
      The /BITMAP qualifier is similar to the /REBUILD qualifier
      in that neither can be combined with most other SHOW DEVICE
      qualifiers. The SHOW DEVICE/BITMAP display can be brief or
      full; brief is the default.

      If no bitmap is active, no bitmap file ID is displayed. The
      phrase "no bitmaps active" is displayed.
