Allows you to modify the path and unit number of a device in the permanent list. The changes take place immediately. Requires SYSPRV privilege. Format MODIFY DEVICE device-name:
1 – Parameter
device-name: The name of the device whose characteristics are to be modified. The device name has the form ddcu, where: dd is the device code-for example, LP. (The driver name corresponds to the device code; in this case, the driver name would be SYS$LPDRIVER.) c is the controller designation A through Z; unless UCM specifies a different letter, all USB devices are A. u is the unit number (0 through 9999). OpenVMS device names are made up of the two-character device code, followed by the controller designation, the unit number (which can be 1 to 4 characters long), and, finally, a colon (:).
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /BUS_NUMBER
/BUS_NUMBER=number Specifies the USB bus number of the device. This parameter is required to identify a particular device on a system that has multiple USB buses. If you do not use this qualifier, the bus number defaults to zero. The number can be any number from 0 through 25.
2.2 /PATH
/PATH=(n1[.n2.n3.n4.n5.n6]) Specifies the path to the device on the bus. The path is used to uniquely identify a device if the device does not have a serial number. The path specification is a series of six or fewer numbers, where: n1 is the number of the root hub (at tier 0). n2 through n6 are port numbers for downstream hubs at tiers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. For example, /PATH=1.4.3 indicates that the device is in turn plugged into port 3 of the second tier, which is plugged into port 4 of the first tier, which in turn is plugged into the root hub 1.
2.3 /UNIT_NUMBER
/UNIT_NUMBER=number Unit numbers can be between 0 and 9999. By default, the configuration code selects the next available unit number. This qualifier allows you to change the unit number to suit your needs.

The ADD DEVICE command adds the device to the permanent list, and the MODIFY DEVICE command changes the unit number of the device. The second SHOW DEVICE command displays this change.
