VMS Help  —  SET  DEVICE
    Establishes a print device or terminal as a spooled device or
    establishes the operational status for a device.

    To make a disk on a local node available to all the nodes on an
    OpenVMS Cluster, use the /SERVED qualifier.

    Requires OPER (operator) privilege.

    PHY_IO (physical I/O) privilege is required when specifying the
    Alpha-only qualifiers that change the characteristics of shadow
    sets. These qualifiers also can be specified using the SET SHADOW
    command, which provides additional options for controlling shadow
    sets. Qualifier settings for shadow sets remain in effect until
    they are changed using either SET DEVICE or SET SHADOW or until
    the shadow set or shadow set member is dismounted. If the shadow
    set is remounted or a shadow set member is returned to the shadow
    set from which it was dismounted, the settings must be specified
    again. For more information about volume shadowing, see the HP
    Volume Shadowing for OpenVMS.
