Library /sys$common/syshlp/SYSMANHELP.HLB  —  Description
    To invoke SYSMAN, enter the following command at the DCL prompt:

    $ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:SYSMAN

    SYSMAN displays the following prompt at which you can enter
    SYSMAN commands using the standard rules of DCL syntax:

    SYSMAN>

    To exit from SYSMAN and return to the DCL command level, enter
    the EXIT command at the SYSMAN> prompt or press Ctrl/Z.

                                   NOTE

       SYSMAN has the following restrictions:

       o  You must have the OPER privilege on the local node and
          authorization for the OPER or SETPRV privilege on any
          remote nodes in the management environment.

          You must also have the privileges required by individual
          commands, as each command in this chapter describes. To
          determine which privileges are required for DCL commands
          or for system management utilities, see the HP OpenVMS
          DCL Dictionary or the appropriate utility reference part
          of this manual.

       o  You cannot run SYSMAN from a batch job in any environment
          that requires a password.

       o  Some DCL commands, such as SHOW SYSTEM/CLUSTER, SET
          CLUSTER/QUORUM, MOUNT/CLUSTER, and some forms of the
          REPLY command, operate clusterwide by design. These
          commands should not be run using SYSMAN, unless the
          environment has been set to a single node. Similarly,
          operations on clusterwide logical names and tables
          operate clusterwide by design.

       o  If a SYSMAN user running with more than 125 total
          rights attempts to issue a SYSMAN command to a remote
          node within a cluster, the following error message is
          displayed:

          SMI-E-RIGHTSLIM, Rights limit exceeded.

          Note that this rights limitation includes a minimum of
          three identifiers that are granted during login when the
          process rights list is created:

          -  A UIC identifier

          -  A system identifier

          -  Depending upon the environment in which the process is
             operating, at least one environmental identifier

          Users who want to run SYSMAN must have either one of the
          following items:

          -  A separate account with no more than 125 rights

          -  Enough identifiers removed from their current account
             so that the total number of rights falls within the
             appropriate range
