/AUTOSTART_ON=(node::[device][,...])
Designates the queue as an autostart execution queue and
specifies the node, or node and device, on which the queue can
be located. For batch queues, only node is applicable.
In a cluster, you can specify more than one node (or node and
device) on which a queue can run, in the preferred order in which
nodes should claim the queue. This allows the queue to fail over
to another node if the node on which the queue is running leaves
the cluster.
When you enter the INITIALIZE/QUEUE command with the /AUTOSTART_
ON qualifier, you must initially activate the queue for
autostart, either by specifying the /START qualifier with the
INITIALIZE/QUEUE command or by entering a START/QUEUE command.
However, the queue will not begin processing jobs until the
ENABLE AUTOSTART/QUEUES command is entered for a node on which
the queue can run.
This qualifier cannot be used in conjunction with the /ON
or /GENERIC qualifier. However, if you are reinitializing an
existing queue, you can specify the /AUTOSTART_ON qualifier for a
queue previously created or started with the /ON qualifier. Doing
so overrides the /ON qualifier and makes the queue an autostart
queue.
For more information about autostart queues, see the chapter
about queues in HP OpenVMS System Manager's Manual, Volume 1:
Essentials.
