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 first SHOW DEVICE command displays information from the
generic list about the unconfigured AG device. 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.
