Syntax
/etc/sizer [ options ]
Description
The program reports information about a kernel file and the running
system. It is also used by the program to create a system configura‐
tion file.
Options-b Create a boot command file for the current system disk. The pro‐
gram creates the appropriate and command files in These files can
then be used to update the system's console media. This option
applies only to the VAX 8600, VAX 780, VAX 6200, and VAX 3400 CPUs
and to the VAX 750 and VAX 8200 CPUs whose system disks are con‐
nected to a Hierarchical Storage Controller (HSC).
-c Return the CPU type of the running CPU.
-t timezone
Specify a time zone string as defined in the Guide to Configura‐
tion File Maintenance for the timezone global definition. For
example,
-t"5 dst 1"
represents the timezone five hours west of Greenwich Mean Time
adjusted for daylight savings time. This is United States Eastern
daylight savings time.
-gt (RISC only) Return an ASCII string that describes the graphics
controller board.
-wt (VAX only; obsolete on RISC) Return the workstation display type.
-wu (VAX only; obsolete on RISC) Return the workstation display
units.
-k image
Use the indicated kernel file instead of This is useful when the
running system is not or you want information about a system that
is not running.
-n filename
Create a configuration file. To do this, the system must be run‐
ning the kernel unless the option is used. The option creates a
configuration file in and also a file required for called
NOTE: The user should run to build a new kernel.
-r Return only the name of the root device and partition.
-s (VAX only) Return the value for the CPU subtype of the running
CPU:
Value CPU
11 VAX8800
10 VAX8700
9 VAX8550
8 VAX8500
6 VAX8300
5 VAX8200
4 VAXstation/MVAX 2000/3100
3 VAX60
1 MVAXII, VAX3x00, VAX62xx
The value 0 is returned for all other CPU types.
